The Emperor Of Mankind, who was created by warp-tainted psykers, made a pact with Chaos to create inhuman super-soldiers to conquer the galaxy and cause more suffering than human history has ever seen, all under the guise of rationalism and human superiority, did nothing but feed Chaos and prime the entire galaxy for corruption.

@CaptainFuggetaboutit @Yakov There's a mechanicus book where Korial Zeth, a Magi builds an machine to access the sum total of human knowledge in the Warp. It gets fucked with by chaos troublemakers of course.

@slevemcdichael @Yakov Admech is the coolest thing in 40k easily. Space Marines have been tainted by being the company favourites.

@DocScranton @Telvannichad What did he actually do to eradicate chaos? The only thing I can think of is rebuilding the webway, and Magnus destroying that was always part of the ruinous plans. So really it just fucked shit up more.The Horus Heresy is heavily influenced by the Iraq war which was occurring at the time of publishing and I think the Emperors war on chaos is supposed to be compared to the US's war on terror. Pointless and counter-productive.

@Yakov @DocScranton Each human civ shown in the Horus Heresy is doing just fine without the Imperium and even progressing with their own STC base. Not to mention the multiple forge worlds and their pocket empires. The Imperium just gives no fucks and demands immediate acceptance or destruction.

@DocScranton @Telvannichad I dont think there is any question that his secret project was restoring the webway. In theory it would've weakened chaos, but by no means eradicate it. Basically humanity would no longer flat-out require the warp for the existence of the species. It would still cause lots of issues though. That said I thought Legion was boring and stopped reading it lel.

@CaptainFuggetaboutit @Yakov They've been watering down the setting for years. Slaanesh is barely featured now since they botched the Eldar plot progression their codexes. I guess a literal tranny god won't fly if people look to closely into it.

@CaptainFuggetaboutit @Telvannichad I have a way stupider prediction. I unironically think we're going to get chaos tyranids. Might lay out the entire thing, but I can assure you it all hinges on the Emperor coming back as a bigger faggot than ever.

@Eris @DocScranton @Telvannichad Old lore says ancient shamans were being affected by it. Seems more like an intrinsic part of our reality. From what I've seen, directly interacting with the warp kinda just speeds up the progress.

@Telvannichad @CaptainFuggetaboutit @Yakov I know Horus Heresy is worth reading. Is there any good Mechanicus stuff? I have plenty of sci-fi/fantasy recs but I don't know much beyond a surface level with 40K.

@slevemcdichael @CaptainFuggetaboutit @Yakov Try Mechanicum as a primer. It's very decent imo. Otherwise just get a pdf of the AdMech codex and read all the info on the faction. The adeptus titanicus books are great admech stuff as well.

@slevemcdichael @Telvannichad @CaptainFuggetaboutit Full disclosure, my first-hand exposure to 40K is basically limited to like 15 Heresy books and 2 video games. That said, I've heard Mechanicum from the Heresy series works stand-alone and Titanicus, set 10,000 years later, ties right into it well. The machine boys are always some of my favorite characters when they come up.

@DocScranton @Eris @Yakov They are I think. They haven't retconed it iirc. Nurgle is born in the black dead, Khorne by the dark ages, Tzeentch as well. Slaanesh is formed by the Eldar. This is old old lore tho, like 2nd edition in the 80s. I think they imply now that Chaos has always been a thing but the chaos gods as they are specifically now are just it's newest incarnation.

@Eris @DocScranton @Yakov Big E having embarrassing character changes throughout the story (like having an immortal side hoe Erda who had a woman moment and sent the primarchs into the warp) isn't just the Writers not talking to each other but actually because he's an even more schizo chaos god!

@Telvannichad @Eris @DocScranton One friend got so mad about my OP statement that he tried to convince me Emp was chaotic good and started comparing him to The Joker. Like no. Maybe the lore is retarded, maybe the Emperor is the stupidest moron in history. Maybe both. But the thing we can all agree on is that Emp decided to shit out Magnus so that there would exist a bigger stupid idiot retard than he.

@Yakov @DocScranton @Eris Magnus maybe a stupid nerd but the Thousand Sons themselves were really cool imo. I'm just think Ahriman did nothing wrong :comfysip:

@Telvannichad @DocScranton @Eris On a related note, transhuman demi-gods are hard to write for and it's the Heresy series' biggest weakness. Horus, Fulgrim, and Lorgar work pretty well because of their human vulnerabilities. Guys like Lion and Guilliman suck because their character traits are "best" and "very good".

@Telvannichad @DocScranton @Eris Ahriman is a cool character. All other Thousand Sons can eat my dick. All the flaws of the Word Bearers and none of the self-awareness.

@Yakov @DocScranton @Eris Guilliman works better in modern 40k funny enough since he's the blunt buzzkill surrounded by the insanity of the setting. (Although I do think bringing any primarch back is ultimately bad for the setting) The other loyal primarch were fun, like Vulkan being a huge simp for normal humans but gleefully roasts eldar children with no care in the world.

@Telvannichad @DocScranton @Eris I'm being a bit presumptuous because Guilliman bored my ass off in Know No Fear. A few more pieces have to fall into place for the current state of things to really interest me. I like where they're going with the Lion, and I didnt really expect to.
