It has been noted in some Imperial sources that the ammunition for the Inquisition's Psycannons and Psyk-out Grenades derive their anti-psychic effect from being impregnated with extremely rare negative psychic energy; the only known source of this energy being the byproducts of the Emperor's metabolism removed daily by the Golden Throne. Other Imperial sources note that the Inquisition has discovered this energy can also be produced from the rendered-down bodies of the Sensei.
Does this mean that Psycannon Ammo is really Emperor poo?

Yes, yes it is.

Its in the GK codex, and actually has been part of the fluff for a while now IIRC. I just never read that much into it.

So thats why they don't wear armor any more. They don't want to get it dirty.

Wait. So after all of this about being in the 41st millennium, of evolving and of becoming scientifically driven, one of humanity's greatest weapons is poo?
Guess monkeys had it right all along.
EDIT: glad to play Space Elves where we prefer to throw bones to/at the poo-slinging mon-keigh.

This just shows that the Emperor is so powerful that his poo is very effective in destroying Chaos Daemons.
I think more about this as a great insult to Chaos, really now - how lower can you get than this? Getting easily destroyed by a poo?

The universe has many horrors yet to throw at us. This is not the end of our struggle. This is just the beginning of our crusade to save Humanity. Be faithful! Be strong! Be vigilant!
"It is the great irony of the Legiones Astartes: engineered to kill to achieve a victory of peace that they can then be no part of." - Roboute Guilliman
"As I recall, your face was tortured. Imagine that - the Master of the Wolves, his ferocity twisted into grief. And yet you still carried out your duty. You always did what was asked of you. So loyal. So tenacious. Truly you were the attack dog of the Emperor. You took no pleasure in what you did. I knew that then, and I know it now. But all things change, my brother. I'm not the same as I was, and you're... well, let us not mention where you are now." - Magnus the Red, to a statue of Leman Russ
I kinda don't think the Emperor craps pyscannon ammo out... I think he more or less sweats or bleeds it out - I mean the Emperor can't really "eat" pyskers, he consumes them entirely.....
This bit of fluff dates wayyy back , even in the Rogue Trader days, IIRC , psyke-out weapons were made from the "Residue" left from the psychers consumed by the throne, so this one is a oldy that they have not ret-coned.

That is probably what they meant.
Come to think of it, phials with "Tears of the Emperor" were potent minor relics to be used (thrown, like a grenade) against Chaos daemons in the 2E SoB Codex.
How it sounds like in our silly minds is, of course, much funnier tho.

Oh come on. "By-products of his metabolism"? We're clearly 100% on track with how Ward intended it to be read.

So next time when deamon primarchs appear GK will throw crap at them?
IMO this deserves a short-funny comic...

ADB: I showed the Wolves revealing the key weakness at the heart of the World Eaters; showing Angron that his Legion was broken and worthless compared to the others; that he was the one primarch who couldn't trust his own warriors, and that they didn't care if he lived or died; showing that loyalty to brothers and sons is the heart of success for the Legiones Astartes, to the point even Lorgar makes a big deal out of saying the World Eaters and their primarch were massively outclassed by Russ, and Angron was too stupid to see the lesson Russ had sacrificed time, sweat, and blood, to teach. We're talking about a battle the Wolves won, by isolating the enemy general through pack tactics, and threatening to kill him, without a hope of defending himself. It was a balance, 50/50 - Angron overpowered Russ, and the Wolves were losing ground to the World Eaters; but Russ and his warriors had Angron by the balls, and barely broke a sweat. They won, no question. Lorgar even says: "The Wolves won, meathead."
Dorn won’t help you either. He’s too busy being the Emperor’s groundskeeper, hiding behind the palace walls. The Wolf is too busy cutting off heads as our father’s executioner, while the Lion holds on to his secrets, and has no special fondness for you. Who else will come? Not Ferrus, certainly. Nor Corax either. Even as we speak, I suspect he flees for Deliverance. Sanguinius?’ Curze laughed cruelly. ‘The angel is more cursed than I. The Khan? He does not wish to be found. So who is left? No one, Vulkan. None of them will come. You are simply not that important. You are alone.’ Konrad Curze to Vulkan

I read this short story where Tears of the Emperor was this super dooper Virus Bomb strain. It was so potent that one bomb would liquefy a whole planet. Which is what I thought normal virus bombs did until I read the HH books. Turns out it takes hundreds of bombs many hours to kill a planet. Surprisingly, ineffective way to kill a planet actually.
Anyways, I think the Tears of the Emperor also killed your soul - y'know as an additional kick in the nuts.
Its the last paragraph of the section titled "The Star Child".
...In the section that hasn't been part of canon since 2nd edition? I haven't found the quote in the present GK book, actually...It claims psybolt ammunition is composed of "silver-tipped, psychically charged shells, used in storm bolters and similar weapons" (pg 62). Nothing about poo.
