>They still had human emotions and could love people. But Gengis Khan is seen a conqueror first and a person second. You're a person only to yourself and those who love you, user. Why can't be He a ruthless conqueror AND also a loving guy? Because he is still a good guy no matter what he calls the Primarchs, he has mankind's interests over his own, says it correctly.
Besides, he's a Master of Manipulationkind. Several of the parts where he's "badmouthing" primarchs happen when talking to his tribune, whom already has a bad impression of them.

Ah, thanks, the army list.

Show me your Praetors! I'm waiting on a bitz order to build mine and I'd like to see yours.

>Newfluff just makes Horus right because ADB plays Chaos.
Nope, stop eating dick by lying. The new fluff makes it clear. The Emperor is a gigantic asshole but the Chaos Gods are way worst. Heck, the fluff even showed that Horus is being deluded and manipulated by the gods who don't care if he wins or loses. He is just puppet and he destined to die a puppets death when the Chaos Gods mockingly abandon him to die at the hand of his creator. He is the biggest sucker ever was.
I am all for criticism but you shouldn't lie like that. It's like sucking a dick in public. Slurping it shamelessly in front of everyone for attention and drama. Stop it.

>Why can't be He a ruthless conqueror AND also a loving guy? Because it's clearly shown, from his own words, that he only thinks about primarchs as tools. We already knew that the emperor cared about humanity, not his personal glory. But a big driving force about the horus heresy was that he cared for his sons, not this 'I will face the 16th' bullshit where he only thinks of them as tools, and seems to care more about the custodes. A big part of the story is the final battle, where he can't defeat horus, not because he's too powerful, but because the Emperor still thinks of him as his son. And only through extreme rage, where he knows that he's completely lost him, does he truely fight back. But nope, thats going to be gone now, replaced with a mindless, boring sequence where horus is in fact more powerful than the emperor.
It's so fucking cliche and boring. Not to say that the old fluff was 10/10 amazing, but it had a good feeling to it. This is just generic crap.

>Now he refers to them by their serial numbers like they're fucking UPS packages in transit, and clearly doesn't care at all.
lol.
That's a fair argument. I'm a chaosfag so I never really thought of it like that. I always felt Big E failing to take Mars properly and never offering such a sweet deal to anyone else was shit of him. After that it was take a knee or die standing.
Yeh I'm sure he could be both, but in the end ruthless conquering would win. And friendship and family would be sacrificed on the altar of victory.
I think I'm just an edgelord. Seems like I would like MoM. haha.

What bitz are you getting?

>The Emperor is a gigantic asshole but the Chaos Gods are way worst. Of course the Chaos gods are worse...but why is He an asshole? I meant why as in why won't BL write him as such? You know they're not mutually exclusive things. >And friendship and family would be sacrificed on the altar of victory. Lest one sacrifice oneself. The bit I liked of Outcast Dead was the fact that He already knew He wasn't going to survive 30k

The Emperor said clearly that he loves the Custards. He considers them his sons and friends. Each one of them dying hurts him emotionally.
The primarchs are just bio-weapons. Nothing more and nothing less. A means to an end.
>The final fight
Will be scrapped because
1) The Emperor doesn't value a bio-weapon over humanity's future 2) The Emperor being stronger than the mightiest beings in the Warp makes zero sense. he is just a man-god. They are TRUE GAWDS. Also it's been established that the Emperor cannot draw close to the beings (Chaos Gods) whom he stole his powers from. This would be really harmful to him. Add to that that the Emperor couldn't beat a single Undivided Daemon. So Empowered Horus should be more than capable of breaking the Emperor regardless of if he was serious or not 3) The Emperor and Pius are not under good terms with each other. Pius loathes the Emperor.

I didn't really like that. It's basically just cribbing Sanguinius' shtick.
