You’re telling me he spent thousands of years searching for a way to gain the power to cut through space time just to have easier access to elder milkers? Based af, that’s my Emperor right there
@@62sy Not really. He did "something" wrong, for sure, but so did all of the primarchs at one point or another. What hit Magnus in the balls was Horus changing the orders about bringing Magnus in and Leman being too stupid to question that.
The way I see the Emperor's ultimate goal it is surprisingly a more human motivation than you might think. Despite having almost Godlike power he was still human and he had human instincts. I think he was lonely and wanted to have equals to live besides. Unfortunately he couldn't wait for the millions of years it would take for mankind to evolve naturally because of the grimdark so he went all super genius. All his super soldiers are just a evolutionary timeline of getting from human to him. Human, Thunder Warrior, Space Marine, Primaris, Grey Knight, Custodes, Primarch, I feel sad for the Emperor, being the only adult in a race he sees as defenceless babies.
@@supremefankai5480 Yes majority of them left him for various reasons, however Malcador stayed by his side up until his death, Erda stayed a long time as well and only left after scattering the Primarchs/her children.
I think of him being an example of one man beleiving he could build the utopy and having to deal with evil man to establish his power and at the end forgetting moral and ethic which make us human. when live is worth nothing what is worth fighting for?
I think his greatest flaw is autism. Can't communicate for shit, and layer upon layer of misunderstanding caused all his former friends to abandon or turn on him because they were ill informed on his intentions.
Big E laying the smackdown on Nurgle laid to rest the narrative the chaosboyz tried to spread that the Emperor was just a pile of bones, and the throne itself kept the Astronomicon lit. Indeed, no bell had been heard. He's still in the fight, and two powerful Primarchs are back in the game (and counting?) - things are looking up for the Imperium.
3 primarchs. Vulkan is sulking on Armageddon(?) having a mid life crisis. Guilliman is ruling the imperium . The Lion is in the Imperium Nilus learning WTF is going on.
@@azagorod8479 im unsure and probably wrong, but if he let go and or died i believe so. But thatd destroy everything. And no natter how little, humanity still has hope.
Just finished ‘Master of Mankind’ and yeah, this is the truth. Everything he shows and explained to Ra showed his true goals for humanity, and it’s sad how his dream will never happen.
You mean the fate he himself helped set up because he wanted to break away from it? That fate? We literally have quotes on why forcibly changing that tends to be a bad thing. And before you even say he was the only option, the Imperex and other human factions existed and were doing well without him. He chose to slam the car into the wall, thinking he can looney tunes his way out of it.
*BIG E:* Dear Eldar, not to kink shame, but FYI about your _blood orgies._ You should take them down a notch or two because...... Then a Eldar Farseer encounters the Big E and upon feeling his psychic might, suddenly realises that he should at least be heard out.. .
Eldar at that time were a great empire. they would be REALLY full of themselves... Even with the Emperor's psychic might, they would scoff at him and have even harder blood orgies...
@@EvileexEspecially because this was peak Eldar, not the nerfed by Slaanesh. Remember Farseer Eldrad(Not even a Phoenix Lord)’s feat of *calming the Warp for intergalactic distances* during the War of the Beast, yeah he did that while restraining his full might to not get nommed by Slaany, whose existence also nerfs their birth rates and overall numbers. Reminder that Prime Eldar were capable of fighting alongside KRORKS, a Prime Ork(which is lesser) managed to fight *Vulkan* - the Primarch with the highest raw strength - on even ground. Emps is stupid strong, but a prime Eldar Empire would casually jump him with the equivalent of a hundred Alpha+-class psykers.
@@actuallyreallyboredLore is inconsistent. A lot of what you say would make sense, but then there's also the part in canon where upon witnessing the Emperor's full psychic aura, an Eldar actually finds him more terrifying than Slaanesh. The same Slaanesh that Eldrad feared. So I think they would have at least heard him out. Maybe jumped him afterwards
@@DolphinSMG Yeah, but it should be noted that the Eldar who witnessed Emps witnessed him after being fed 1000 psykers a day + uncounted trillions of humans praying to his divinity for a couple of millenia at that point. While Throne-bound Emps is physically incapable, ‘mortal’ Emperor was not pulling stuff like burning Nurgle’s garden or spawning living saints. He also doesn’t have the inherent advantage Slaanesh has with claims to their souls, even if he was psychically stronger. 20k/30k Emps might probably be strong enough to force the Eldar to hear him out - for all of two seconds before Druhkari+ tier pride goes ‘filthy mon’keigh’ and jumps him with psychic powers second only to Emperor, tech second only to the Necrons, and numbers second only to the Imperium.
@ I mean again I still don't disagree that they'd try to jump him, but the eldar aren't just a bunch of orks, they're gonna start wondering why this random extremely powerful psycher is warning them that they're gonna birth an evil sex god, see that he's putting himself at great risk by exposing himself to them just to tell them that, and come to the conclusion that maybe they should heed his warnings... then they'll probably jump him
@@CityBelowtheSeaI always interpreted that as an easy way to pinpoint fast forward and skip the ads. While he does the ads also in an entertaining way, it's a truly nice gesture from him that there's always a clear audiovisual clue to where you should skip for the beginning of the topic.
I do not for a moment believe all this lore was this cleanly planned to make sense when it was written. Which makes Majorkill's take on it even more impressive. I actually LIKE the version of Big E he talks about.
Magnus was meant to sit on the Golden Throne, Dark Glass was the pilot project to access the deep warp and breach webway. The Emperor used it as a prototype for the Golden Throne to test the technology. The reason it was so far out on the edge of explored space was a) to keep it secrete, and b) incase something went wrong and it created another eye of terror or something, the Emperor wanted it nowhere near the throne world.
Incredibly cool to think of how the emperor was just raging against the dying of the light for the last 10k years. Doing everything he could to make sure there was no clean victory for chaos
Man, the big E gets a lot of flack due to the Heresy. But I think when you really think about it, every decision he made makes sense given the attitudes and temperaments of the other major characters. Like he gets shit on for keeping the Primarchs in the dark about the webway project and Chaos, but at the same time the moment he leaves the Primarchs in charge for a minute and steps away half of them immediately fall to Chaos lol. I think the only mistake he made was driving away the other Perpetuals. If he had been a bit less contentious and demanding of them, they might have stuck around and fulfilled their roles of leading the Imperium with him, thereby eliminating the Heresy, and allowing the real work to be done. The self righteous ass hat perpetuals are the real villains here. It's their fault Erebus is Erebus.
I've recently been going back through the Horus Heresy books and for all the grief Big E gets about not informing the Primarchs he didn't leave them completely in the dark. After the first case of demon possession at the Whisperheads, Horus tells Garviel that indeed the Space Marine was possessed by a creature from the Warp and was vulnerable to such manipulations due to his mental state. So while they may not have had all the details, Horus knew they was shit in the Warp that could cause problems if one's fortitude was lacking.
Big E lighting up Nurgle and his garden was giving death the middle finger in the most personal way possible. He even spoke through Guilliman before doing it and showed he could pull the same sort of protections for his son that Chaos does for it's champions as well, which should really worry Chaos as that's about the only advantage they've had over the last 10k years and heroes of the Imperium not dying anymore would really be bad for them.
His plan was to make everybody bald to make himself look better until he became a corpse, that way he was bald and on with the trend. Truly, God Emperor amd godlike fashion
I think the webway project and golden throne was a unholy union of dark age, elder and necron tech, that would kill the chaos gods in their current form and reset the warp presay, but to do that he needed to tame and chill out the Galaxy, so when the chaos gods reformed they would wouldn't come back as their current twisted form because you can't truly kill concepts, and the webway would put on other safe guards
I don’t remember where I heard/read this from, but I heard that the Emperor wanted Humanity to become like him. To do and think like he does, to become a species of Psychic Perpetual. If that theory was true, then every single human now and in the future could’ve been like the Emperor…Damn you Erebus, look what you’ve robbed from us
Nurgle's Angron: No longer in pain and rage, he's chill at last, convincing people to join nurgle with speech checks. Khorne's Mortarion: The ultimate magic hater. He's really angry but not stupid. Tzeentch's Fulgrim: A symphony of deceive and conspiracies Slaanesh's Magnus: The only mutations in the Thousand Sons are now the 40" sausages. Alpharius of Chaos Undivided: The chaos gods still don't realize he's a loyalist.
Video idea. What kept the Orks from finding and wiping out Terra before humans got powerful enough to leave their home world. Orks are a menace everywhere BUT they never found Earth in the thousands of years between the old ones dying and humans rising. Just a little something I was thinking about the other day.
But an ork infestation on a planet can start with just a few spores on a meteorite/comet, most likely originating from the destroyed remains of a previously ork held planet
@@dwaynewrighton8547 The Eldar are smart and their tech is incredible they had ways of preventing that, besides on the scale of space sub-light speeds are practically like standing still.

@@michaelgooley229 i tried but it doesnt work. For some reason that specifically never works with the pics in MajorKill videos because google can sometimes find partial images
9:42 The saddest thing about that, if he had actually enlisted the Primarchs in the project, he probably would not have had the Heresy, and probably would have gotten it done. Magus would have been the best warp weirdness expert, Perturabo was the tech genius, and they could have even lashed Konrad Curze in as a living simulator. That would have shut down something like 80% of the functional Chaos forces right there.
The whole "no more plan/not having one" after being put on the Golden Throne I don't fully agree with. See a lot of people over look the fact that just before becoming the Dark King he was told to look into the future and find another way, to which he did. This seemly was the main thing that convinced him to stop becoming The Dark King. Considering the power he had at that point and he's last word to Horus, I think there was some sort of desperate ass plan before being put on the Golden Throne.
The problem with the whole "the emperor saw into the future and predicted victory" thing is that Futuresight in 40k is useless if a major event happens. Basically the entire next 10k years was preordained by Tzeentch's seers, but once Guilliman woke up, every single one of the prophecies and predictions became Null. Even if the emperor could see into the future, and see a solid path to victory, the rebirth of Guilliman and (possibly) the reawakening of the lion would have thrown a wrench in those plans. and suddenly the future the emperor saw, is no longer valid, or at the very least. The path to that future is no longer valid.
What if the Emperor wasn’t able to reach Nuceria in time to prevent Angron dying from the High Riders? How would having one less available Primarch affect the heresy with more lopsided sides? What would happen to the War Hounds? What would happen to Nuceria? Who do you think would go to Khorne?
Big E: "My sons I trust you to finish the great crusade while I return to Terra to ensure the future of humanity" Traitor Primarchs: Daddy hasn't told us everything... He must be doing something dodgy... let's throw a galactic tantrum Big E:Sigh... so this is that teen angst thing
I feel like a good topic I haven't seen capitalized on is when the Emperor was talking horus out of his god powers disguised as Garviel. It felt like an omission.
Afaik the King in yellow is a really new introduction to the lore. Thats probably why you haven't heard of him. He basically exists within his own bubble (quite literally) and Majorkill didn't explain it, but the King in yellow wants the emperors true name because in 40k, True names have power over Psykers (this bits more of a theory)/Demons. Being of sufficient power can utter the true name of a demon and it will either instantly banish them, or temporarily weaken them. The king in yellow's assumption if he finds and utters the Emperors true name, is either he will forcefully be able to summon the emperor's attention, or it will forcefully bring the emperors mind back together, as the emperors true name hasn't been spoken in many, many millennia. There's also a theory that reminding the emperor of who he truly is will resurrect him, since the emperor has been who he has been for thousands of years. A name, and a title. Not a man, or a perpetual. This would lean heavily into the idea that the emperors mind (when it pieces itself together briefly) is nothing more then a raving animal thats completely detached from humanity, even in the face of his sons.
This is why I don’t really understand why some heretics say that the Emperor is a villain. He did and gave everything he could to save humanity and make it ascend to peace and prosperity, the best future possible for his people, even giving his life to save mankind. How couldn’t you admire him? He did mistakes and bad things sure, but when you have an entire species to lead and protect against countless dangerous creatures and the literal forces of evil you can’t keep your hands clean.
His detractors are endlessly naive and prideful, misguided and manipulated by Chaos into failing the only natural force that was beneficial to them. Truly pathetic.
Because Big E did pretty villainous stuff. He conquered and enslaved many nations on Terra, then many planets in the Galaxy. Yes, many who opposed him were influenced by Chaos, but many were not and just wished to be left to their own devices. Big E enforced his vision and eliminated those who didn't share it. Nobody elected him to lead humanity, he just decided for himself that he'd be able to do it right. And in the end he ultimately failed - so maybe he wasn't fit for the job from the very beginning, but in his hubris believed otherwise? Also consider the fact that humanity managed to create an interstellar Empire without the Emperor's help during the Dark Age of Technology - so maybe humans don't need the Emperor that much? To sum it up, in most other franchises Big E would be a classical tyrannical villain archetype, despite his good intentions. But in 40k yes, he is not that much of a villain, though still an asshole.
Given the existing lore, the most likely explaination for the Emperor's ultimate goal is that He was built as a weapon by the Old Ones to defeat Chaos but unlike, say, the Krorks or the Aeldari, the Emperor became aware of the purpose the Old Ones had worked into him as his ultimate destiny and chose to defy it, creating a future where He and humanity would rise above Chaos without becoming puppets to the archaic regeime fo the Old Ones who no longer even inhabit the galaxy, using the tools the Old Ones themselves had left behind, such as the Webway, to this end. So far his best laid plans have failed, and the rest is Warhammar 30K. The only real question within this model is where this sentimental streak came from, how the Emperor is able to even attempt to resist the design of the Old Ones and even the structure of the space-time continum itself, and whether or not this Star Child stuff can help him pull a win out of the hat in the end so we can hit the history eraser button and get on with _Warhammar 400,000, Age of Sigmarius._
I remember hearing something about how Valdor's spear will be used to resurrect the Emperor as by slaying him, Valdor will then attain all of the Emperor's knowledge effectively becoming him.
The biggest problem comes from the Emperor's prescience. How much does he know? When did he know it? All of this horror and dystopia could be "just as planned". Was his vision only partial? We don't know. Did he see a future similar to the one Paul and Leto Atreides saw in the Dune universe? Especially since there are a lot of similarities (and a lot of differences). Paul chickened out and chose not to follow the only path that didn't end in the extinction of humanity hoping to muddle through, while his son Leto chose to follow the path, placing humanity in a dystopian system (although not the whole grimdark thing so much) and breeding people that could survive in the future. So, are the human psykers (Dune: invisible to foresight) the plan? IMO, psychic ability is strongly linked to genius, innovation and progress, perhaps some form of transcendence is in there as well? After all, humanity being fethed with by the Old Ones is a story, but if you use the evolutionary timeline GW does, then at the end of the War in Heaven, humanity is a small group of lemurs on a world dominated by dinosaurs. The Necrons meddling is a bit more likely, but a naturally occurring Pariah gene that was bred by the Emperor and his Perpetual buddies (or they created it) gives a potential hard counter to Warp shenanigans, let alone a mostly psychic humanity could potentially take the battle to Chaos in the Warp, imposing their will on it... aka, the entire Emperor is/becomes the new chaos god of order speculation. The Valdor sequence. Valdor and Russ were known to be great buddies and fanatically loyal to the Emperor. So Valdor went out to build and find the Emperor's true name (in Enuncia?) while Russ went into the Warp to find the tree of life in Nurgle's garden. The first would unify the Emperor's mind and the second would repair his body.
Would you ever do a video doing a quick rundown on what little lore there is on the Q’orl? I’ve seen obscure posts talking about them but there’s only like two videos on TH-cam about them
I've always thought Big E delegate the great crusade to Horus and hurry back to finish the webway project is somehow he knows he is running out of time. Maybe he made some pact with the chaos gods when he disappeared to find the Primarch sauce for a set amount of time before they start doing their shenanigans. Then again it might just be bad writer/GW needing a way to sew the seeds of discord for Horus to rebel.
I stan that E is an experiment from the dark age of tech, and this history is propaganda. He is suspiciously like an 8th grade boy's idea of a demigod without the leadership skills of a Starbucks shift supervisor. Nobody who ever maintained a relationship or kept a job would behave in such an ineffective manor.
The Horus Heresy books imply that the Emperor only made the Space Marines because of the Warp kidnapped the Primarchs. He needed super soldiers in order to conqueror the galaxy without them and to find them.
Am I missing something or should the emperor have finished the web way project before starting the crusade and then use the web way to launch the crusade?
In all honesty. I believe the Big E has lived this life before and gone through everything once ( at least) in his own past. I believe he will be hitting a restore point where he goes back with everything he knows and do it all again.
There is a different book when Magnus asks Vulkan was he not there when he asked emperor to spare his sons and Vulcan told him he was insane and that the emperor rejected his salvation let alone his sons
I had just started my lift and was trying to get my Astartes on when that bit about Ana de Armas came on. Made me laugh so hard I almost dropped the weights on myself 😆
I wonder what would of happened if at the start of phase 3 he had magnus sit on dark glass to assist him with the web way, the heresy would still commence but Magnus would basically be out with his legion and some custodes probably protecting him on the throne, but he is like the emperor out of the heresy, which leads somebody else to get taken over by tzeentch, no destroying of próspero, essentially a swap that leaves the loyalist out numbered after the massacre, it would be one less primarch & 3 depleted legions vs the 3/4 legions & amped primarchs of the traitors
My head canon The Golden Throne is about to fail in the next 100 years and when it does Valdor needs The Emperor's true name to keep him from destroying everything after respawning. Bet being tortured for +10 000 years and fracturing your mind leaves you all kinds of messed up.
Can't expect people to follow a plan if they don't know what the plan is. The Big E ("E" for ego) simply assumed that everybody would do as they were told without any explanations, no matter how seemingly irrational his commands were without context. Had he just accepted that maybe he needed to share a little more insight with his sons as to why he was doing what he was doing, then he would have won.
So i talk to myself in my head sometimes, alot of times, and i was just sitting down connecting my headset to my pc, and while i was doing so i was thinking "Y'kno this guy kinda says some outlandish shit that's weird, but he knows his stuff when it comes to 40k" when the headset connected, the videos at 0:20 so that's the first thing I heard. Australians be austrailing
The breaking of Darkglass puts my 'just as planned' head cannon into the dirt. I struggled with his 'rescue' of Angron and other actions which would have easily foreseen consequences. Thanks, major @$$h013. 🙄
as a lore master, what's the possibility of the emperor being or being influenced a C'tan shard or Ladriel or a fusion of the two? the emperor seems to be the Light Bringer, or Lux Ferre, or Lucifer. pulling something from the Wiki, when Venus, the morning star, goes into it's dusk phase, it's called Noctifer, or the Night Bringer the emperor has been called a weapon, and there was that one time khaine threw a scythe into the warp, followed by Vaul using Anaris, or the sword of dawnlight. would also explain why there's a tesseract vault on mars and why the void dragon was there in the first place. then in the story of lucifer was the story of lilith, adams supposed first wife who went with the light bringer. in warhammer fantasy it was discovered that lileath was also ladriel, who was also the lady of the lake who created super human grail knights to fight chaos. additionally there's a hard connection between lilith and the drukhari, one of the dark muses being lhilitu, with lilitu being another name for lilith. her followers became an all female group known as the cult of lhameans, who also use poisons produced by servants to shaimesh, flesh sculpter haemonculis being among them. warhammer fantasy had lahmeans vampires, founded by neferata after botching the elixir of life. real life mythology, the elixir of life is made from the philosophers stone. the stone is made from negredo (black, decay), albedo(white, purification), and rubedo (red, also gold). blood angels have black, red, and gold, and white wings, and are vampires. shaimesh has a brother saim-han, who is a cosmic SERPENT, and is the symbol of a craft world of like name, whose colors are red, white and black. lucifer is a serpent, also is given the name Samael (shaimesh, saim-han, similar name structure), or "the venom of god." also, samael is often depicted as, you guessed it, the grim reaper. the night bringer. thoughts, any connections flaring up?
you should do a video on Le2, or Leetu. Really interesting and actually HUGELY important. He is why the Emperor is on the Golden Throne now, reading Tarot cards or whatever.
@@TheHo1yGhost I watched a bit of it. An interesting thought experiment but the fact that Cawl thinks of Alpha Primus as a son (of sorts) blows away and possibility of them being one and the same. I don't see Belisarius forming that kind of connection to a full grown and modified Astartes he came across. Cawl being around since Alpha was a small child makes more sense. But hey, you never. Also that doesn't mean they are totally unrelated, I just don't think it's the same dude.
Man i would love to see an animation like Astartes featuring the Big E in all his glory! How does he even fight? Does he fly over the battlefield exploding the heads of everyone, while shooting lightning and swinging his sword to any unfortunate bastard that gets too close to him? I cant picture the emperor fighting with weapons at all. Im not a warhammer loremaster nerd (yet), but i love learning about this universe.
It depends on who he's fighting with or against because he could kill anyone if he's not careful as his mere presence can be enough for most folks. Also, this is Warhammer. Melee weapons are always considered even if the Emperor is an extremely powerful psyker.
@@ERBaruin the thing is that the emperor is not necessarily a god in combat - prior to the heresy Horus actually saved him during one battle, if I recall right
@@ERBaruin That's Warhammer for you. While the Emperor seems like a god, he's still human at its peak human potential. Other species like Orks can physically outmatch him, so he still needed an army and specialized humans for conquest. Big E is not above using other means to win, as shown during his fight against Chaos Horus.
Space marines do not require Primarch DNA to be made, early models of space marines were made with "default settings" without the DNA from their Primarch. Lee 2 is one of those space marines.
As a clarification, the Emperor did NOT have the Dark King Contingency. The Emperor and Malcador thought the Dark King was a myth or it was directed to Horus. Malcador freaked the fuck out when he saw the Emperor ascending to the Dark King from the Golden Throne. The Emperor did not realize He was turning into the Dark King when he drank too much and too deep of the Warp energy in the Vengeful Spirt. When He realized that becoming the Dark King was the only way to beat Horus, He kept going. Basically, He winged it. 😆

Reminder that Prime Eldar were capable of fighting alongside KRORKS, a Prime Ork(which is lesser) managed to fight *Vulkan* - the Primarch with the highest raw strength - on even ground. Emps is stupid strong, but a prime Eldar Empire would casually jump him with the equivalent of a hundred Alpha+-class psykers.
@@actuallyreallyboredLore is inconsistent. A lot of what you say would make sense, but then there's also the part in canon where upon witnessing the Emperor's full psychic aura, an Eldar actually finds him more terrifying than Slaanesh. The same Slaanesh that Eldrad feared. So I think they would have at least heard him out. Maybe jumped him afterwards
@@DolphinSMG Yeah, but it should be noted that the Eldar who witnessed Emps witnessed him after being fed 1000 psykers a day + uncounted trillions of humans praying to his divinity for a couple of millenia at that point. While Throne-bound Emps is physically incapable, ‘mortal’ Emperor was not pulling stuff like burning Nurgle’s garden or spawning living saints. He also doesn’t have the inherent advantage Slaanesh has with claims to their souls, even if he was psychically stronger.
20k/30k Emps might probably be strong enough to force the Eldar to hear him out - for all of two seconds before Druhkari+ tier pride goes ‘filthy mon’keigh’ and jumps him with psychic powers second only to Emperor, tech second only to the Necrons, and numbers second only to the Imperium.
@ I mean again I still don't disagree that they'd try to jump him, but the eldar aren't just a bunch of orks, they're gonna start wondering why this random extremely powerful psycher is warning them that they're gonna birth an evil sex god, see that he's putting himself at great risk by exposing himself to them just to tell them that, and come to the conclusion that maybe they should heed his warnings... then they'll probably jump him

I do not for a moment believe all this lore was this cleanly planned to make sense when it was written.
Which makes Majorkill's take on it even more impressive. I actually LIKE the version of Big E he talks about.
They left just enough gaps for black library to start filling, ever so slowly
Magnus was meant to sit on the Golden Throne, Dark Glass was the pilot project to access the deep warp and breach webway. The Emperor used it as a prototype for the Golden Throne to test the technology.
The reason it was so far out on the edge of explored space was a) to keep it secrete, and b) incase something went wrong and it created another eye of terror or something, the Emperor wanted it nowhere near the throne world.
Incredibly cool to think of how the emperor was just raging against the dying of the light for the last 10k years. Doing everything he could to make sure there was no clean victory for chaos
And they love him for it
Would be neat to see a video each time every faction fought at the same time like on Glorefore or Vigilius
I Love when majorkill drops because i always oil up my hands and start getting frisky

Bro is down bad for manscaped ads 💀
Man, the big E gets a lot of flack due to the Heresy. But I think when you really think about it, every decision he made makes sense given the attitudes and temperaments of the other major characters. Like he gets shit on for keeping the Primarchs in the dark about the webway project and Chaos, but at the same time the moment he leaves the Primarchs in charge for a minute and steps away half of them immediately fall to Chaos lol.
I think the only mistake he made was driving away the other Perpetuals. If he had been a bit less contentious and demanding of them, they might have stuck around and fulfilled their roles of leading the Imperium with him, thereby eliminating the Heresy, and allowing the real work to be done. The self righteous ass hat perpetuals are the real villains here. It's their fault Erebus is Erebus.
I've recently been going back through the Horus Heresy books and for all the grief Big E gets about not informing the Primarchs he didn't leave them completely in the dark. After the first case of demon possession at the Whisperheads, Horus tells Garviel that indeed the Space Marine was possessed by a creature from the Warp and was vulnerable to such manipulations due to his mental state. So while they may not have had all the details, Horus knew they was shit in the Warp that could cause problems if one's fortitude was lacking.
To anyone who finds this: how do you feel about the idea of the Emperor being the “Chaos” God of Order?
Yk what I'd agree honestly, chaos God of order, justice and humanity or smthing
My question is if there are chaos gods wouldn't there be Gods of order to balance them
Chaos God of pride?
Big E lighting up Nurgle and his garden was giving death the middle finger in the most personal way possible. He even spoke through Guilliman before doing it and showed he could pull the same sort of protections for his son that Chaos does for it's champions as well, which should really worry Chaos as that's about the only advantage they've had over the last 10k years and heroes of the Imperium not dying anymore would really be bad for them.
His plan was to make everybody bald to make himself look better until he became a corpse, that way he was bald and on with the trend. Truly, God Emperor amd godlike fashion
I think the webway project and golden throne was a unholy union of dark age, elder and necron tech, that would kill the chaos gods in their current form and reset the warp presay, but to do that he needed to tame and chill out the Galaxy, so when the chaos gods reformed they would wouldn't come back as their current twisted form because you can't truly kill concepts, and the webway would put on other safe guards
Big E changed fashion for the next thousand centuries, big shoulderpads forever!
I don’t remember where I heard/read this from, but I heard that the Emperor wanted Humanity to become like him. To do and think like he does, to become a species of Psychic Perpetual.
If that theory was true, then every single human now and in the future could’ve been like the Emperor…Damn you Erebus, look what you’ve robbed from us

What kept the Orks from finding and wiping out Terra before humans got powerful enough to leave their home world. Orks are a menace everywhere BUT they never found Earth in the thousands of years between the old ones dying and humans rising.
Just a little something I was thinking about the other day.
Obviously, the massively OP Eldar Empire culled their numbers and probably kept them from making even spaceships.
But an ork infestation on a planet can start with just a few spores on a meteorite/comet, most likely originating from the destroyed remains of a previously ork held planet

9:42 The saddest thing about that, if he had actually enlisted the Primarchs in the project, he probably would not have had the Heresy, and probably would have gotten it done.
Magus would have been the best warp weirdness expert, Perturabo was the tech genius, and they could have even lashed Konrad Curze in as a living simulator.
That would have shut down something like 80% of the functional Chaos forces right there.
The whole "no more plan/not having one" after being put on the Golden Throne I don't fully agree with. See a lot of people over look the fact that just before becoming the Dark King he was told to look into the future and find another way, to which he did. This seemly was the main thing that convinced him to stop becoming The Dark King. Considering the power he had at that point and he's last word to Horus, I think there was some sort of desperate ass plan before being put on the Golden Throne.
After magnus' folly but before the seige of terra, malcador and emps talked about how the plan was in ruins because the web way project was toast

@@stone7281There are also hints for there being something now so odds are he came up with something afterwards
@@stone7281 You realise the guy you're responding to is talking about something that happened after that? Literally immediately before E fought Horus.
The problem with the whole "the emperor saw into the future and predicted victory" thing is that Futuresight in 40k is useless if a major event happens.
Basically the entire next 10k years was preordained by Tzeentch's seers, but once Guilliman woke up, every single one of the prophecies and predictions became Null.
Even if the emperor could see into the future, and see a solid path to victory, the rebirth of Guilliman and (possibly) the reawakening of the lion would have thrown a wrench in those plans. and suddenly the future the emperor saw, is no longer valid, or at the very least. The path to that future is no longer valid.
"It came to me in a vison."
"What was the vision?"
"I can't remember."
What if the Emperor wasn’t able to reach Nuceria in time to prevent Angron dying from the High Riders? How would having one less available Primarch affect the heresy with more lopsided sides? What would happen to the War Hounds? What would happen to Nuceria? Who do you think would go to Khorne?

@@FerociousMoOoO Not yet, sadly. ;/
Afaik the King in yellow is a really new introduction to the lore. Thats probably why you haven't heard of him.
He basically exists within his own bubble (quite literally) and Majorkill didn't explain it, but the King in yellow wants the emperors true name because in 40k, True names have power over Psykers (this bits more of a theory)/Demons. Being of sufficient power can utter the true name of a demon and it will either instantly banish them, or temporarily weaken them. The king in yellow's assumption if he finds and utters the Emperors true name, is either he will forcefully be able to summon the emperor's attention, or it will forcefully bring the emperors mind back together, as the emperors true name hasn't been spoken in many, many millennia.
There's also a theory that reminding the emperor of who he truly is will resurrect him, since the emperor has been who he has been for thousands of years. A name, and a title. Not a man, or a perpetual. This would lean heavily into the idea that the emperors mind (when it pieces itself together briefly) is nothing more then a raving animal thats completely detached from humanity, even in the face of his sons.

@@Flesh_WizardThe chaos god of greed and shareholder profits
Interesting combining the golden throne lore and the dark glass throne that the Death Spectres' chapter master sit on.
This is why I don’t really understand why some heretics say that the Emperor is a villain. He did and gave everything he could to save humanity and make it ascend to peace and prosperity, the best future possible for his people, even giving his life to save mankind. How couldn’t you admire him? He did mistakes and bad things sure, but when you have an entire species to lead and protect against countless dangerous creatures and the literal forces of evil you can’t keep your hands clean.
His detractors are endlessly naive and prideful, misguided and manipulated by Chaos into failing the only natural force that was beneficial to them. Truly pathetic.
Because Big E did pretty villainous stuff. He conquered and enslaved many nations on Terra, then many planets in the Galaxy. Yes, many who opposed him were influenced by Chaos, but many were not and just wished to be left to their own devices. Big E enforced his vision and eliminated those who didn't share it. Nobody elected him to lead humanity, he just decided for himself that he'd be able to do it right. And in the end he ultimately failed - so maybe he wasn't fit for the job from the very beginning, but in his hubris believed otherwise? Also consider the fact that humanity managed to create an interstellar Empire without the Emperor's help during the Dark Age of Technology - so maybe humans don't need the Emperor that much?
To sum it up, in most other franchises Big E would be a classical tyrannical villain archetype, despite his good intentions. But in 40k yes, he is not that much of a villain, though still an asshole.
Definitely would love a video on the King in Yellow
Given the existing lore, the most likely explaination for the Emperor's ultimate goal is that He was built as a weapon by the Old Ones to defeat Chaos but unlike, say, the Krorks or the Aeldari, the Emperor became aware of the purpose the Old Ones had worked into him as his ultimate destiny and chose to defy it, creating a future where He and humanity would rise above Chaos without becoming puppets to the archaic regeime fo the Old Ones who no longer even inhabit the galaxy, using the tools the Old Ones themselves had left behind, such as the Webway, to this end.
So far his best laid plans have failed, and the rest is Warhammar 30K.
The only real question within this model is where this sentimental streak came from, how the Emperor is able to even attempt to resist the design of the Old Ones and even the structure of the space-time continum itself, and whether or not this Star Child stuff can help him pull a win out of the hat in the end so we can hit the history eraser button and get on with _Warhammar 400,000, Age of Sigmarius._
I remember hearing something about how Valdor's spear will be used to resurrect the Emperor as by slaying him, Valdor will then attain all of the Emperor's knowledge effectively becoming him.
The biggest problem comes from the Emperor's prescience. How much does he know? When did he know it? All of this horror and dystopia could be "just as planned".
Was his vision only partial? We don't know.
Did he see a future similar to the one Paul and Leto Atreides saw in the Dune universe? Especially since there are a lot of similarities (and a lot of differences). Paul chickened out and chose not to follow the only path that didn't end in the extinction of humanity hoping to muddle through, while his son Leto chose to follow the path, placing humanity in a dystopian system (although not the whole grimdark thing so much) and breeding people that could survive in the future.
So, are the human psykers (Dune: invisible to foresight) the plan?
IMO, psychic ability is strongly linked to genius, innovation and progress, perhaps some form of transcendence is in there as well? After all, humanity being fethed with by the Old Ones is a story, but if you use the evolutionary timeline GW does, then at the end of the War in Heaven, humanity is a small group of lemurs on a world dominated by dinosaurs. The Necrons meddling is a bit more likely, but a naturally occurring Pariah gene that was bred by the Emperor and his Perpetual buddies (or they created it) gives a potential hard counter to Warp shenanigans, let alone a mostly psychic humanity could potentially take the battle to Chaos in the Warp, imposing their will on it... aka, the entire Emperor is/becomes the new chaos god of order speculation.
The Valdor sequence. Valdor and Russ were known to be great buddies and fanatically loyal to the Emperor. So Valdor went out to build and find the Emperor's true name (in Enuncia?) while Russ went into the Warp to find the tree of life in Nurgle's garden. The first would unify the Emperor's mind and the second would repair his body.
Would you ever do a video doing a quick rundown on what little lore there is on the Q’orl? I’ve seen obscure posts talking about them but there’s only like two videos on TH-cam about them
Love the videos so much. Would you ever consider reviewing the Angels of Death mini series story?!!
He certainly gets an A for effort.
"But that golden sack of bones don't hear no bell" is one of the best things an Australian has ever said. Im so proud to be an Aussie 😢
I think the Emperor knew of chaos first, and then knew of all the extinction level xeno races in and outside the galaxy second.
Here's a video idea!
What chaos faction would the loyalist primachs join (chaos undivided not an option, they have to choose one of them)
I've always thought Big E delegate the great crusade to Horus and hurry back to finish the webway project is somehow he knows he is running out of time. Maybe he made some pact with the chaos gods when he disappeared to find the Primarch sauce for a set amount of time before they start doing their shenanigans. Then again it might just be bad writer/GW needing a way to sew the seeds of discord for Horus to rebel.
I stan that E is an experiment from the dark age of tech, and this history is propaganda. He is suspiciously like an 8th grade boy's idea of a demigod without the leadership skills of a Starbucks shift supervisor. Nobody who ever maintained a relationship or kept a job would behave in such an ineffective manor.
Then, Guliman and the Lion returned, and the Emperor went, "There is a new plan!"
It also does not hurt that Nurgle is just really flammable.
I think his ultimate intention was to end human suffering, and the only way out is through, so fuck it, we ball.
The Horus Heresy books imply that the Emperor only made the Space Marines because of the Warp kidnapped the Primarchs. He needed super soldiers in order to conqueror the galaxy without them and to find them.
“So you think I won’t flame you? 🔥” The Emperor said calmly
A vid on how each faction would deal with the flood?
Am I missing something or should the emperor have finished the web way project before starting the crusade and then use the web way to launch the crusade?
Sooo excited to receive my Big E in the mail!! Thank you again so much Major! This video is right on time(:
He did not failed. He is now gaining the most powerful divinity to destroy the chaos on his own ground and then he will conquer the entire universe.
I would love to see a what if for if the Talisman of Seven Hammers went off. During Hours Heresy of course.
In all honesty. I believe the Big E has lived this life before and gone through everything once ( at least) in his own past. I believe he will be hitting a restore point where he goes back with everything he knows and do it all again.
Ironic that the Emperor wanted to prevent humanity from manifesting a new Chaos god, when he ended up becoming it himself

Always looking forward to your videos
I wonder what would of happened if at the start of phase 3 he had magnus sit on dark glass to assist him with the web way, the heresy would still commence but Magnus would basically be out with his legion and some custodes probably protecting him on the throne, but he is like the emperor out of the heresy, which leads somebody else to get taken over by tzeentch, no destroying of próspero, essentially a swap that leaves the loyalist out numbered after the massacre, it would be one less primarch & 3 depleted legions vs the 3/4 legions & amped primarchs of the traitors
My head canon
The Golden Throne is about to fail in the next 100 years and when it does Valdor needs The Emperor's true name to keep him from destroying everything after respawning. Bet being tortured for +10 000 years and fracturing your mind leaves you all kinds of messed up.
2 minutes ago feels like slaneesh blessing
Can't expect people to follow a plan if they don't know what the plan is. The Big E ("E" for ego) simply assumed that everybody would do as they were told without any explanations, no matter how seemingly irrational his commands were without context. Had he just accepted that maybe he needed to share a little more insight with his sons as to why he was doing what he was doing, then he would have won.

as a lore master, what's the possibility of the emperor being or being influenced a C'tan shard or Ladriel or a fusion of the two?
the emperor seems to be the Light Bringer, or Lux Ferre, or Lucifer. pulling something from the Wiki, when Venus, the morning star, goes into it's dusk phase, it's called Noctifer, or the Night Bringer
the emperor has been called a weapon, and there was that one time khaine threw a scythe into the warp, followed by Vaul using Anaris, or the sword of dawnlight. would also explain why there's a tesseract vault on mars and why the void dragon was there in the first place.
then in the story of lucifer was the story of lilith, adams supposed first wife who went with the light bringer. in warhammer fantasy it was discovered that lileath was also ladriel, who was also the lady of the lake who created super human grail knights to fight chaos. additionally there's a hard connection between lilith and the drukhari, one of the dark muses being lhilitu, with lilitu being another name for lilith. her followers became an all female group known as the cult of lhameans, who also use poisons produced by servants to shaimesh, flesh sculpter haemonculis being among them. warhammer fantasy had lahmeans vampires, founded by neferata after botching the elixir of life.
real life mythology, the elixir of life is made from the philosophers stone. the stone is made from negredo (black, decay), albedo(white, purification), and rubedo (red, also gold). blood angels have black, red, and gold, and white wings, and are vampires. shaimesh has a brother saim-han, who is a cosmic SERPENT, and is the symbol of a craft world of like name, whose colors are red, white and black.
lucifer is a serpent, also is given the name Samael (shaimesh, saim-han, similar name structure), or "the venom of god." also, samael is often depicted as, you guessed it, the grim reaper. the night bringer.
thoughts, any connections flaring up?

Im not a warhammer loremaster nerd (yet), but i love learning about this universe.
It depends on who he's fighting with or against because he could kill anyone if he's not careful as his mere presence can be enough for most folks. Also, this is Warhammer. Melee weapons are always considered even if the Emperor is an extremely powerful psyker.

@@ERBaruin the thing is that the emperor is not necessarily a god in combat - prior to the heresy Horus actually saved him during one battle, if I recall right
@@ERBaruin That's Warhammer for you. While the Emperor seems like a god, he's still human at its peak human potential. Other species like Orks can physically outmatch him, so he still needed an army and specialized humans for conquest.

As a clarification, the Emperor did NOT have the Dark King Contingency. The Emperor and Malcador thought the Dark King was a myth or it was directed to Horus.
Malcador freaked the fuck out when he saw the Emperor ascending to the Dark King from the Golden Throne.
The Emperor did not realize He was turning into the Dark King when he drank too much and too deep of the Warp energy in the Vengeful Spirt.
When He realized that becoming the Dark King was the only way to beat Horus, He kept going.
Basically, He winged it. 😆
