I talked with Duskweaver and he said there is nothing in the Horus Heresy books talking about slave coding. Duskweaver is a knowledgeable guy who informed me that Marines being brainwashed former criminals in 1st Edition only lasted six months before becoming the lore we know about Marines today.

Why would anyone come up with slave coding if its not anywhere in the Horus Heresy books or 40k in general? If there is slave coding, how do you explain the Emperor's voice sending the Word Bearers flying?

"+LORGAR+

The voice came with a wall of pressure now, dense and all too tactile. It pounded into Argel Tal like a miasma of engine wash, heating his armour and throwing him to the ground. Around him, he could see his brothers sent sprawling, their armour skidding across the dust. Defiant in the cyclone of unseen energy, scrolls of scripture ripping from his armour, Lorgar raised his hand to point at his father.

'You are a god. Say the words and end the lie.'

The Emperor shook his head, not in defeat, but calm defiance.

'You are blind, my son. You cling to ancient perceptions, and endanger us all with them. Let this end, Lorgar. Let this end with you heeding my words.'

The psychic wind died with a peal of thunder. Lorgar stood where he was, trembling for reasons his warriors couldn't discern. Blood ran from one ear, running in a slow trail down his tattooed neck.

I am listening, father,' he said."


And the rest of the other quote.


Sight returned, banishing the grotesque feeling of helplessness. Such emotion was anathema, prickling at Argel Tal’s skin with a thousand insect legs. He managed to look through his dimmed visor, seeing a towering figure deep in a corona of agonising white light. Around the figure, cloaked and gold-armoured warriors hefted unique spears with practiced ease. Each one was the size of an Astartes, and no Astartes could fail to recognise them.

‘Custodes,’ he managed to speak through teeth gritted at the light’s intensity.

‘It’s…’ Xaphen stammered. ‘It’s the…’

‘I know who it is,’ Argel Tal exhaled the words through clenched teeth. And that’s when the voice hit him, hit them all, in a wave of invisible force.

+Kneel+ it whispered with the power of a hammer to the forehead. There was no resisting. Muscles acted instantly, no matter that many hearts fought not to obey. Argel Tal was one of them. This was not fealty, nor worship, nor service. This was slavery, and his instincts rebelled at the enforced devotion even as he obeyed it.

One hundred thousand Word Bearers kneeled in the dust of the perfect city, rendered prone by Imperial decree. A Legion was on its knees.


I have not created this thread before. Different questions and format.

Ummmmm yes you have. With this exact quote. I cant forget it because of how many times you've quote dumped this. You've even PM'ed this to me once.

For the love of Gork, please stop.

U totally have created this thread before. I don’t get why one persons head canon theory has caused us so much upset. It was an interesting theory but nothing more than that. The fact is it wasn’t “disproven” by your quotes. But it was still just a fun theory. Chill out.

Fine. Goodbye. Its different questions, but fine.

How about we ease back on the topic creation for a bit?

Locking this one, as it's done.
