Xenos Emperor

Actually no. Slaanesh was made by accident and cannot manifest in the material plane properly.

Ynnead fits better, as they are actively trying to make it. It's just a really stupid idea to create Ynnead in the first place.

What you're saying is that he's creating his own daemon world, however a feat, it's not something only Tzeentch can do.

Not canon.

The Emperor is a member of a group of immortal humans called the True Perpetuals. He was a powerful psyker but he gained his godlike powers by bargaining with the Chaos Gods.

At his base level, the Emperor barely defeated an wounded and hungry shard of the Void Dragon. The battle exhausted and he said that destroying the shard was beyond his power.

I am talking about how at first it looks like utter rambling and mishmash of fuck all, but is deeper when you go into it.

>Psychic gestalt of thousands of Eldar
>Led his people his people during The Fall
>United them on Asur
>Created super soldiers and trained demi-gods to lead them
>Was betrayed by one of his generals

He's damn near identical, only he wasn't betrayed by as many of his dudes and is still active. Not really sure why people are going on about Slaanesh/Ynead who don't have a single thing in common.

>Was a shithead teenager who was a pleasure addict until things went wrong.

He was quite the opposite. He was world weary and had grown bored of all the extreme sports. Besides, if that's the worst you could say about him then he compares favourably to Emps.

>believing demons

The orcs did it, that's pretty much exactly what the Beast is. There's a whole series about it and everything. But long story short, the beast is the gestalt of all the WAAAGH energy coming from the greenskins and he advanced the orcs up to pre-heresy imperium levels. Also, he wrecks Vulkan in a fight and has godly psychic powers. He's basically da Emprah of Ork kind, but more competent

But he got stomped at the end.

>Implying it was daemons who said this

How about adding more? He has a split personality. He locked the negative side of him in his ship.

If every 40k race got its own Emperor the Tau one would get bullied everyday by the others.

All Aspect Warriors have split personalities. He invented war-masks so they could divorce themselves from the act of war in order to avoid feeding chaos and get gud at fighting.

But do they imprison them inside their spaceships?

Hive mind.

Perpetuals were a retarded addition to the lore. The shamanistic origin for the Emperor is more creative and interesting.

The mystery of the Perpetuals > The HFY wank that was the shamans.

Might I ask why?
I've only limited knowledge about it, but won't that god protect Eldar souls if it works out?

For Ynnead to be born every single living Eldar has to die all at once.
They only have this vague prophecy that it will bring them back once it kills Slaanesh, but such things are never guaranteed.

Oh and here I thought it was more of a threshold thing when they have enough soul stones
Welp, sucks to be you Eldar.

Seems like that would just make nurgle the undisputed most powerful.

I'm not very fond of perpetuals, but I would still place them higher than the shaman thing of the old lore. Shamans read like something taken straight out of the spirit science youtube channel.

He's talking absolute shit user. The Iyanden codex and Valedor describes it as a threshold thing where the infinity circuits need to reach a certain point before being supercharged by macguffins called the Tears of Morai Hegg. Original fluff even specifically states that all of them dying would prevent Ynead being born.

Thanks I appreciate the correction
