I mean ten thousand years is a long time

Jokes aside, that's legit a potentially good idea if we subscribe to the idea that all psychically active species in the galaxy either die out or implode creating a chaos god. Big E could be basically creating a human pantheon to divide mankind's psychic power, kinda of like the Eldar pantheon before slaanesh.

​@@marcospatricio8283Sounds like that would be the Primarchs

Troons

WE ARE SO FUCKING BACK 😤

​@@livefromtheblacklibraryplease dont use bad words im currently in the warp

Bro when you think about it, people have literally lived and died thinking the siege ended the way the myths and legends said it did. Only now are we hearing otherwise. 40k is that old and backed up with unwritten, past lore lol. That's insane

Obiwan Sherlock Colsseu model when?

Ordo Hydra, Canonise the Sensei

Yeah that’s the great part. It wasn’t necessarily originally intended but it fits perfectly. Really good writing.

👀 I KNOW ITLL NEVER HAPPEN BUT THAT SOUNDS DOPE

Did he say he ejected his malice? It said his compassion and empathy but at what point did the book say that?

i have been suggesting that in my circle for years. Quite fond of the theory, even though it'll never happen.

A lot of Warhammer 40k channels have stepped up their game thanks to newcomers like you, a high tide floats all boats

@@LZRCuteR Ah, thanks man. That’s really high praise, just for a comment.

Indeed 🤝

*Warp god of Order There are many warp gods in Immaterium and chaos gods are just subsets of Warp gods, there's even hints of both Magnus and Leman Russ' true form is akin to powerful Titans from old human legends but actually stronger than Imperium' titan mechs (since Primarchs' souls have ties to destiny and can bend the ties of fate surrounding them, at least to varying extent, only Horus which got permanently deleted and Fulgrim clone in Trazyn's museum technically have the original lesser warp god soul of Fulgrim prior to being ejected by daemonic soups that take over control his bodily remains which acts as Slaanesh's puppet/daemon Primarch)

Its gonna end up in an AoS style hard reset when the 40k End Times inevitably occurs like 5 to 10 years from now

You guys want Malice to exist so badly for a god with 0 clout or 0 activity in the lore.

@@maltheri9833 I just thought it would be neat so see some old stuff get resurfaced I got no real liking of it tbh. The paint schemes for the sons of malice is cool tho.

​@@t_hetty1758 4 Chaos gods + ascended Vashtorr + barely remembered Malice + creeping Dark King + Enthroned Emperor of Mankind 8 pointed Star of Chaos completed, the 8 pointed Star of Chaos might even changes its alignment, powers and affinities as the emergence of new chaos gods happens to interrupt The Great Game and the boiling of Immaterium

@@ohamatchhams wow I didn’t even think of that. If there is a storyline leading to an “8 pointed star of chaos” like the actual symbol that would be pretty cool.

PFFFTTT LMAO

That and whole TTS Starchild plotline. Lets be real GW DEFINANTLY used that too 😂

Luckily the 3rd book will allow us into the mind of the Emperor just as it allows us into Horus' mind.

@@maltheri9833 Really? Has that been confirmed?

I do hope we finally get a POV from the Emperor in volume 3

Why does this seem obvious to even a lowly novice lore consumer like myself, or maybe I'm not that much of a novice anymore? I'm not even sure what the normal gamer level is because I don't really play them. If I did I would play battlefront Gothic with the skalgrim mod probably but I don't have a good computer for it.

The visions humans have of the star child remind me a lot of the visions of the eagle in berserk !

Age of the Emperor would be pretty dope. Bad thing is all the other faction players are gonna feel left out and complain

@@maltheri9833 well, for Eldars you could make that the chaos that ensued made it possible for Isha to escape and now they have support of their god, or you could make something different with them. For Tau it would be very easy to just say that now they expanded more, but now they start to face bigger resistance from the population (after all the Emperor is now alive) so they would be faced with several options one of them being ethnic cleansing. Orks are just orks, maybe Ghazkull becomes a krork. Same for Tyranids, or you could make them loose control over large amounts of their forces after the "death" of Emperor and the blowout that happened after the destruction of Terra and the Astronomicon meaning that there are entire systems full of mindless swarms, maybe make some into their own hives either starting their own hive fleets that now attack independently of the Hive mind or make them stay where they are so that their plot point would be being destroyed by other factions that want to take that spot. You could save Admech by either them making rocket engines and move Mars as far away from Terra as possible or Void Dragon is awaken and saves them from doom, so Admech start worship him and fully turn into a technology cult possibly even turning into kinda-Necrons but without the living metal and it looks more like Dark Mechanicum. CSM gets out of the Eye of Terror and warbands create their small empires in Imperium Nihilus and the remaining parts of Imperium Sanctus that aren't Ultramar or other regions protected by IG and/or SM. Chaos Daemons are everywhere and fight between each other in real space. Kinda took inspiration from Pancreas's vid of bringing down the Imperium, but instead of making it stupid and too much like Fantasy Battles I instead opted for something that would be less stupid for the setting of 40k. After all Imperium just collapsing wouldn't be much except of non-imperial factions getting more powers against just Humanity, but this way other factions could gain relevance other ways that aren't just punching the remnants of humans but also somehow make them not just destroy all those remnants. Plus Imperium is too big to fall down by itself and imo only the destruction of Astronomicon and a large portion of Imperium Sanctus could realistically do it. However most importantly, this way Humanity wouldn't just die from being surrounded by enemies, but now have Emperor as an actual god that could help them by sending his own daemons to protect human worlds, and maybe eventually start a new Crusade Idk. Either way there are many ways to make the "Age of Emperor", or maybe it would be interesting to have some of it without 40k becoming 2nd AoS, like Emperor doesn't "dies" thus not fully becoming a god, but being just close enough to start making an impact. Though yes even with some new stuff for other factions they still would feel kinda left out by the amount of stuff Imperials would get so maybe it's not that good of an idea anyway

As the universe was not destroyed it is safe to assume that the Emperor, though really strong that he could rival the chaos gods has not ascended yet, since it's been known that the universe itself will get destroyed if the Big E ascends.

​@@mekolaynthere was a cool fan fic called 50k and then 60k

I could see a warhammer 50k on the horizon, mainly to allow for more story space and more AOS style gameplay, I think unlikely AOS it would be the end of 40k's lore and you'd get black library books for it just like heresy

And the Horus heresy was almost a repeat

YEAH IT WOULD BE DOPE but I feel like it’s best if a lot of ancient galactic history is kept mysterious for the setting

​@@livefromtheblacklibraryI think they could slowly flesh out ancient lore as they progress towards the end times

Wonder what the humans thought of eldar society during this time

Lorgar wont be because he just wants to serve.

With Girly Roboman around there might be changes in how the setting functions vut i doubt they'd pull an AOS, even just the name 40k carries way too much money

​@andreadangelo2299 I mean the setting is over 40 years old. I'd be worried if they make no progress in the story in an entire century. They've gotta end the damn books at some point who the hell expects a never ending bible?

@@maltheri9833 yeah, plus it's not like they can't make stories set in 40k

I would love to see a series based on the war in heaven. The idea of a war 60 million years ago with perhaps an insight into the old ones and stuff like ctan and early chaos. Also birth of eldar and krorks.

I could imagine that a lot of ressources and time of the writers might be going towards the amazon-show by Henry Cavill

Werent there rumors of there being the scouring books after the end of the seige of terra

@@t_hetty1758 very tough nut to crack this with the factions being composed of xenos, and with technology that's so advanced. It can work if done correctly. That's my take.

I think they might make a 68-novel prequel series entitled 'Twenty-Two Unreasonable Beefcakes.'

Could've been 1 book if 10 hours of filler was removed

I’d kill me. Like I mean that.

Big E is so overpowered he can choose to draw the very warp into himself until becoming one with the Warp. Essentially corrupting himself

Yes and no, The Emps does not have a limit to the energy his siphons, but if he gets too much he will ascend to godhood which he doesn't want to cause if he did the galaxy will get utterly destroyed

AYYY THANKS

Maybe Big E needs that missing part of his Soul to fully heal?

Yeah I didn’t know this book was gonna be the second of a dang trilogy. The first volume was so much cooler.

@@whitebenjamin75 My copy just came in, so I’m going to start it tonight, I seriously can’t believe so many KZfaqrs have finished it already, assuming they have full-time jobs and sleep 8 hours, because the thing is the size of a baneblade

yeah I get you - not a big fan of the "amputating the part of Big E soul" I don't remember him being compassionate and caring man, don't know about 50k, but I wished for Sanguinus killing Horus and then fighting Big E in black rage, Majorkill made a video on that

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DUDE!!!!

Thank you! Amazing voice acting for Malcador, by the way

👏👏👏

One day 😔

I don't remember this era, might want to purge any record of this heretical writing and absolutely horrible understanding of 40k or the imperium(Or basic common sense)

​@@tarektechmarine8209 >Warhammer 40K and/or Imperium >Imperium fanboyism brainlet with butchered latin, illiteracy in religion like swapping Heresy with Apostasy, etc in its fandom being not obnoxious >Having consistent lore revision and not lacking golden rule/design document/bible >basic common sense Pick one

First coming- Dark King was Emperor, Horus, Pious/Erebus Second Coming-Valdor, Abaddon, Lorgar/Erebus

It's often those who yearn for ascension out of sheer ego and unhinged avarice that fail to grasp the what being a god actually entails. However, some men who are very long lived and powerful enough to be a flick of a dick away from godhood such as the emperor fear the possibility that becoming a god could be a fate FAR WORSE than any hell conjured in the collective imagination of mankind.

AND THANK YOU FOR THE SUPPORT

That’s true but tbh I do have some issues regarding that because now so many books are either just serious as a heart attack or can’t risk straying from the current direction of the narrative

​@@livefromtheblacklibraryi hope thst they push for either more xeno books or at least more self contained stuff like Cain

Yes, now they'll destroy it.

Honestly because they don’t wanna move too fast and burn out the plot

​@livefromtheblacklibrary wow, I'm surprised you replied, plus that's an actual good reason that makes sense.

Also, properly advancing the plot will mean to kill some characters. But the characters are miniatures. And GW is a miniature company, after all.

I'd say a mix of 40k being made for the longest time as a setting more than a story, expansive but not that continuous. Along with that, their experience with warhammer fantasy: where they did build and change some, but would eventually try to end it and fumbled pretty much every aspect of it, thus may make them nervous to change too much.

@@livefromtheblacklibrary because they're uncreative. Think just for a second about how many story lines can come from a world like necromunda alone. They very rarely explore these, skipping thousands of years of what would be turmoil, rebellion, discoveries and political movements. But no, instead we get that Cawl alone equipped and made an entire 8-9 legion of better super soldiers and nobody knew about it, as if the inquisition wouldn't know and have it under their authority instead of a primarch of which 9 turned traitor already.

LMFAO

I saw this on my Twitter timeline and I just wanna say my entire day has come to a screeching halt because of this comment
