Do you guys think

Do you guys think...

>after a long day of killing traitors and warp scum,
>after watching a whole company of the imperial army tear each other by the will of a lesser demon,
>after witnessing traitor legion ships dropping world scale virus bombs over inocent population,
>after realising his best son just went mad and sided with cosmic horrors to destroy the one thing you have been building towards...

...The Emperor goes back to his chambers in the Imperial Palace, takes off his Golden Armour, puts on his Golden Pijamas, goes to the fridge to grab a cold one, sits on the couch to watch some Imperial TV and mutters to himself:

________The Word Bearers were a huge mistake________

???

>mfw

Ra Endymion didn`t deserve that.

none of the custodes deserved what happened to them
except maybe diocletian

That fag can't even walk anymore

The emperor doesn't rest, or sleep. He doesn't even breathe.

Does he have an anus?

>none of the custodes deserved what happened to them
What about Khorarinn? He was a dick.

Of course, how could he be perfect if he wasn't a switch in bed?

The Word Bearers lore is so stupid it makes the whole HH a joke.

Like theres this dude Erebus that keeps showing up in every legion pulling string and talking in corners with your people.

He looks shaddy as fuck and doesn't seem to have a shadow or a mirror reflection.

By some strange reason he is allowed in all the high tier meetings in all the legions he's around.

Meanwhile his useless primarch is obsessed with religion and cults even though his father is commanding a galaxy size conquest to lift humanity out of the darkness of beliefs and religions.

Nobody thinks this might be a problem untill Lorde fucks up by doing the monarchia shit. And instead of banishing the whole legion for being corrupted and disobeying orders, the authors think the most logical thing to do would be shame a warlord in command of a legion of the best warriors in the galaxy and then keep them in your rear without any supervision.

Like what could possibly go wrong aah?

They threw the yiffs yiffs at Magnus for breaking a new rule but they let the Word Bearers loose after turning 180º from the fundamental principles of the Imperial Truth.

almost the entire HH book series is retarded
the best part was expanding some of the less appreciated like the White Scars and making them great

The HH books was a mistake

How else would Lorgar get daddy issues?

Well, it's easy.

Word Bearers focus was already hijacked by Erebus. He was stablished long before Lorgar showed up in the books.

So just make Lorgar's story tragic. Like he was a good boy but he had to deal with two fucks like Kor Phaeron and Erebus who were already chaos corrupted. He sees what's happening inside his legion and he tries to turn the wheel but it's to late. Define a final show down were he has to face them, like a crazy ritual to turn the whole legion into Argental like boys. Lorgar tries to stop it but he fails and he gets exposed to the chaos gods, warping his mind and turning him into a demon prince.

This kind of arc eliminates the stupid daddy issues of "father destroyed muh city" and gives Lorgar actual protagonism, not just "hey you know what? now I'm evil. Dude Erebus you were right all along".

And even then he can get daddy issues from Kor Phaeron. Everybody is happy.

There's like maybe 5 books that aren't total trash in the series.

A Thousand Sons
Betrayer
Know No Fear
?
??

He and Eldrad would make quite the power couple.

Scars
Path of heaven

Also I would add Legion but that book is hated here so...

>the actual translation of those Colchisian rune tattoos

He needs a empress queen who he could come home to but also rely on to do emperor-tier shit like fight wars and invent shit too.

Also to make a trillion sensei-emperor babies to create the golden men again in case humanity becomes a lost cause.

What’s emps even looking at? At that angle, 90% of his vision is blocked by jagged pauldron.. or is he using psychic vision to see trough the pauldron? Is that why his eyes glow?

The Imperial truth is wrong. God exists.

>He is allowed in all high-tier meetings
Well to be honest, he IS a high-ranking member from another legion.

>Let them instead of banishing the entire legion after they turned from the Imperial truth
>Be the emperor
>Already killed 2 of your son's
>One of them isn't a horrible mutant communist hitler but behaves badly
>Going to lose 100k warriors because he is a risky boy
I admit the emperor's punishment is retarded but banishing the legion was even worse imo

I would say yes

Is that custodes on the bottom left smoking a joint?

He has a cheat sheet inside the pauldron with the names of the custards and sisters of silences.

>Tall guy with a mohawk: thats Valdor

Give them to Robot.

He seems to be a great guy when managing huge legions and isn't prone to fuck up

...

i like legion :(

This.
In a way HH books are like SW prequels. A lot of drama that we dont want to see, some good reveals and additions to lore, with few good action parts, main characters acting like bitches, and a lot of disposable soldiers.
Who gives a shit about edge master Curze losing his mind over Vulkan being perpetual. We want more Vulkan vs Curze fight on top of moving Thunderhawk.

Only few books are good all around. both Scars books, that made the most boring legion look great and intresting. Or
A Thousand sons, that goes pretty deep into TS culture.

Reminder erebus did nothing wrong

>mfw i have no face because Horus tear it from my skull for being a little bitch

geeee weeeez BiggiE, how could Lorgar turn out retarded after letting your autismo take control of your decisions

>We want more Vulkan vs Curze fight on top of moving Thunderhawk.
I find it boring as fuck. Most of the time I just skip fight scenes

me too senpai.

I enjoy a lot more the mundane day to day of each legion. What do they do in their free time or how they interact with the other astartes of the legion.

I specially like the books that talk about a lot of officers of the legion, like: "the captain of the 123th company was HurrDurr, know for his success in the compliance of the blabla, he was tall and edgy, and carried a huge two handed axe."

Stuff like that so I can imagine a broad picture of who forms the legion and what are they like.

>He needs a empress queen who he could come home to but also rely on to do emperor-tier shit like fight wars and invent shit too.
That's what I keep saying.

agreed
custodes lore, SoS stuff, description of cities and planets and day to day governance is way more interesting than stale bolter porn

I prefer the jj version with the white and gold coloration.

GW- We Don't Know Our Own Lore And Hate Our Fans But We Love Your Money

Russ adhered to shamanistic beliefs, Khan believed in souls and spiritual matters, which is one of the few disagreements he had with his father and his insistence of atheistic state where magic, souls, and demons obviously exist, Corvus Corax prays, and even the Lion believes in eternal damnation. Lorgar wasn't the only one that carried supernatural beliefs. I'm surprised the Emperor didn't do anything about his other sons wayward beliefs that conflicted with the Imperial Truth, and why the Primarchs would even follow such an awful, cruel, and frankly, intolerant father that saw them as nothing but tools.

I like to think there's one Reasonable Inquisitor out there who mostly just focuses on fighting Chaos, believes in the Emperor's ideals, but also doesn't believe the emperor is a god and generally acts like a fedora-tipping atheist when he can get away with it.

>"God-Emperor? What kind of god dies if you unhook it from a chair?"
>"Why does the Emperor need people like me to shoot slaanesh armpit-fuckers in the face? Because he's otherwise occupied, which deflates the whole omnipotence thing."
>"Pray? He probably isn't listening. And even if he is, he's not liking it."

That guy also needs to be a chain smoker and wear a trench coat armor.
