What would Eldar thought upon learning about Emperor's psychic might,attempt to use the webway....
Eldrad called him a weakly seer.

Eldrads a dick though.

They were probably like. "Hmm we should do something about this" *other eldar* "Nah... let's go have 9 kids and give birth to a chaos god."

Lol sorry the eldar have always come across me as being VERY irresponsible.

I've heard about Eldrad not being a fan of the Emperor.

Also, didn't Eldrad warn the Emperor that he was get screwed up or something?

I'd like to have a read, Is the fluff for that in a novel, codex or something else?

Eldrad warned Fulgrim not the Emperor,but unfortunately Fulgrim was already corrupted by Slannesh.

Eldrad is a dick.
The Emperor is awesome.
Of course the two aren't going to get along.

However, with the Emperor carving out an empire which was even larger (though not as solidly knit) as the old Eldar Empire the Eldar would have been very jelous of this upstart mon-keigh conquering the stars.

And with the big E building a man-made webway gate (meaning he could attack the Eldar at whim and rob them of their advantage) the Eldar would have felt very threatened.

For his accomplishments I think that he isn't mon'keigh,I mean managing to use the webway,establishing a galactic empire,creating space marines and primarchs etc....

He is a mon'keigh. That's the Eldar word for any member of a race they regard as inferior.

But the Eldar calling him a mon'keigh would be like you and me calling a monkey that can read our thoughts, raise armies of monkeys and singlehandedly destroy you with its left pinkey a monkey.

It is a monkey, a race which many of us regard to be inferior, but it's a monkey that will kick your ass.

And monkey can destroy a titan with a snap of the finger and mindrape your force.

Said Monkey can also form a Galaxy spanning Empire in a matter of years.

As said in horus heresy graphic novels in some 200-300 years he conquered 2 million worlds.

And lost half of it straight away...

Imperium while losing worlds colonizes new every year.

But it only has 1 million. Apparently the Emperor conquered 2 million.

Says who?

Imperium = millions of worlds.

Where comes your 2 M from?




PS: the space elfs in space call the Emperor only a weak seer cause they think he cant leave his golden toilet.
One day they will learn how wrong they were........

According to IvanTih.

Yes...yes indeed.

It says in Collected Visions that the Emperor conquered 2 million worlds.The canon states it.

I am not trusting the numbers in that card game visions too much, but if we apply your 25o years=2 M worlds to
the imperiums actual date, emprah staying at the crusade front would have brougth about 80.000.000 worlds
into compliance...

Or in a different take, 10.000 worlds per year conquered. So 27-28 worlds per day....

Something in these HH novels is totally wrong then, needing months or years per world.

And I'm your storm trooper acolyte.

Note to Self: When compiling a Storm Trooper army, have them take a vow of Silence (for secrecy) and have thier tounges cut out. (Just to be sure )

Then I'll become orphan and be selected to become an Inquisitor.

Nope. Doesn't work like that matey.

If you're an orphan in the Imperium you're either:

A) Screwed via Exploiatation or Starvation

or

B) Screwed in Battle as a Storm Trooper or SoB.

But certain inquisitors are drawn form Schola Progenum.

Your grasping at straws there. Where did you hear this bit of mis-information?

Lexicanum.

Very well then, the orphans are locked in a draw of sorts.

Eldrad respects the Emperor more than he lets on. the comments on 'weakling seer' are to provoke a reaction from imperial officials and because of the mistake of trusting Horus. Its also a double helping iof arrogance on the Eldars part.

The Emperor is not primarily a fortune teller, he relies on similar information gathering techniques to a leader today. his strengths lie elsewhere, and the Eldar know that and respect that.

As for Eldrad being a 'dick' he most certainly is not. He has a serious mindset, loyal commitment to his own people, a self sacrifical attitude and lifestyle and a drive to do what is necessary - long term.

The fact that he sees humans as tools to be exploited is not unreasonable, allowing for the fact that he is not human.

Mate, you proabably haven't been on the interenet that long have you?

Don't worry, I had no idea what other people were on about when they called Eldrad 'That Dick'. But then I read the stories...

A race of super kick ass monkeys? Me likes.
