I was told that /tg/ has a bunch of crazy awesome 40k theories like

>the emperor actually died, and the guy on the chair is just a really powerful psyker, hence the phrase "death to the false emperor"
>Tyranids were created by the Old Ones as a biological reset button, so they could eventually return once the Nids eat everything and start over
>Tau are descendents of Necrons who never underwent necrodermification

These always sounded infinitely more interesting than the established lore.

What are your theories? Bonus points if they're extra heretical.
>>
Tau really are the good guys
>>
That the Warp Gods are part of the Emperors imagination and only exist while he still lives.
>>
Old Ones still exist at the very edge of the galaxy. Waiting. Watching
>>

The tau are descendants from human settlers who discovered a STC containing knowledge from a ancient place called Nippon. The human settlers took this knowledge and made a prosperous society but then it all went wrong. The STC was tainted with slaaneshi anime and the civilization became decadent. They put vaginas on their foreheads and other such features. There was then a accident regarding there nuclear power sources which resulted in further changes, hence the blue skin. It's also why they have mechs that look like they're from Gundam.

That the omnissiah that is worshipped on mars is actualy the Void Dragon Ctan ( full ctan, not a shard or transcendent) and is feasting off the biomass of those who worship him, hence why all the adepts on mars replace their skin with machines and worship machines. So with people from all over the galaxy seeking to become immortal via machine parts, they willingly sell their soles to this brilliant ctan instead of coercing them into being eaten by the void dragon. Think about it, if the void dragon plays his cards right he can have an all you can eat buffet as long as he keeps giving them cult new shinies once in a while.

>>the emperor actually died, and the guy on the chair is just a really powerful psyker, hence the phrase "death to the false emperor"

This is retarded. Malcador was the strongest psyker besides Magnus and the Emperor and he didn't even last 24 hours on the throne before disintegrating.

I would imagine that would be the most heretical thing anyone could concieve in 40K.

That said, for all intents and purposes the Primarchs are clones of the Emperor.

One neat theory that I really like is that Khaine isn't an Old One (like Asuryan and most of the Eldar pantheon), nor is he a propper warp god (Like Izsha and Ceogorach), but is, in fact, a C'tan.
this theory fits for a few reasons.
>Firstly, it explains why Khaine shattered into hundreds of shards instead of just dying normally like the rest of the eldar pantheon.
>Secondly, it explains why there was such an ideological difference between Khaine and the other eldar gods.
>Finally, there is a C'tan in the cannon called Nyadra'zatha, The Burning One, and if ANYONE in the 40K universe deserves the title "the burning one," its Khaine

That last part was included more as a joke than as a serious argument.
also...
>implying that you can't have a billygoat named bob
>>
>>46339536
There is no reason what so ever to believe that is true.
>>
>>46339836
Actually your second point goes completely against that too.

Khaine is bloodlust of a race of incredibly emotional space elves. Of course he is going to be a sperg. I mean even Isha is like that. Always whispering cures to humans.
>>
Malcador was just a psychic avatar of the Emperor used to maintain the illusion of human self-rule in the Imperium. His conversations with the Emperor were purely for show, he was just talking to himself.
>>
>>46339920
I don't just mean the fact that he was bloodthirsty: I mean his interactions in genera.
Khaine maims and enslaves Vaul. Khaine rapes Isha. Khaine tries to slaughter the entire Eldar race.
In all of his interactions, there is a clear distinciton/seperation between the Eldar gods and Khaine that goes beyond their various godly portfolios.

There's something wrong about Khaine
>>
>>46336716
>Tyranids were created by the Old Ones as a biological reset button, so they could eventually return once the Nids eat everything and start over

This one is stupid since nids strip planets bare and leave it a lifeless rock
>>
>>46337127

Why would you make a perfectly functioning clone of the Emperor then shove him in the throne/cripple him and inter him in the life support throne?

If you cloned the Emperor, you'd have THE EMPEROR. You know, before he got whooped by Horus. He would just continue the Great Crusade, not sit on the throne.
>>
>>46337109
Malcador's normal human body couldn't handle the energies. Fagnus's Primarch body could hold up

Alpharius and Omegon were separated at birth.

Alpharius ended up alone on that planet and got off after killing pirates and found Horus, while Omegon ended uo on another planet and stood up to xenos, got abducted, tortured, but Empy rescued him, kept him near him, while slowly healing his mind to make him sane and sound again but bits still remain, hence his shady action, but ultimately he stayed loyalist, while his brother didn't.

The legion of the damned is the equivalent of Imperial Daemons.

They find their origin in the material world, the Fire Hawks, and then became one with the warp, but one of the few benign entities for mankind. As Humanity's psyker's gene gets stronger, their presence in the warp becomes more and more important, and they take the appearance of the Emperor's blessed sons, his angels of death.
Being daemons, time and places are irrelevant to them, hence why they are seen before the Fire Hawks' demise, in simultaneous places, and never gor very long.
>>
>>46342914
aren't they becoming weaker over time?
>>
>>46339536

Doesn't that pretty much completely invalidate everything he was trying to prove? Like, by dying he would be proven absolutely right, but instead by living, he's now completely in the wrong.

By extension, everything he ever did in response to his precognition and visions was incorrect, and he acted on them falsely. A Traitor Primarch now understanding that his actions and choice to turn traitor were baseless, founded on nothing but smoke and mirrors, an avoidable fate on the ever shifting rivers of time that he helped set mankind towards. He betrayed mankind for nothing, contributing greatly to the grimdarkness of the setting through negligence and despair.

What bantz? Your education?

>>46343676
Russ was plenty good with making friends. He and Sanguinius were best bros and it was he not Horus who made peace with Perturabo and Corax. True he didn't like Magnus (who really did other than Khan?) and he had one run in with the Lion but they seemed fine after that. As for the wolf thing, you're just memeing now. 30k space wolves weren't wolfy at all they hated when people called them Space Wolves. Thank the 7th edition for that
>>
>>46343745
Didn't even know Russ, Perty and Corax interacted.

And Lorgar was in good terms with Magnus bith being more the intellectual type.
>>
>>46343767
Yeah it was at one of the last battles of the Crusade before Isstvan III. Horus wanted Corax to launch a frontal attack on a huge fortress, Corax argued against it because he's a sneaky fighter and said let the Wolves or Iron Warriors to that since that's their specialty, Perty called him a pussy and they almost came to blows when Russ calmed Corax down saying that the Emperor put Horus in charge and they should all trust in him and in Horus
>>
>>46343837
Oh was it from the new book? About the Ashen Claws fluff?
>>
>>46343837
That just goes to show you the Primarchs have the typical sibling relationships with one another. The father puts the oldest son in charge and some siblings follow him more willingly then others do.
>>
>>46343745
Then why did he refer to himself as The Wolf King. And name his Legion the Space Wolves. And have two giant pet wolves with him at all times. The wolfy wolfy wolf thing may be a meme but it has basis in reality
>>
>>46343958
Could be that Corax was among the last and didn't know or trust the other while Horus and Russ were the first two and kinda grew out of the rivalry with their brothers
>>
>>46344041
Well those wolves were literally his brothers, the people of Fenris gave him the title of Wolf King again because he was raised by wolves, and they were already known as the space wolves before he met them.

Why is this somehow dumber in /tg/'s eyes than Ferrus Mannus being head of the Iron Hands, or Corvus Corax being primarch of the Raven Guard, or everyone in the Blood Angels being titled "Sanguine" this and that?
>>
>>46344052
I think its interesting that Corax was the only one who didn't like Horus

>>46344168
Oh? Someone doesn't like Horus the shiny bald guy? How can that be?

The small window of time in which the primarchs were born, scattered, and matured, and the birth of Slaanesh (signalling the completed pantheon of Chaos Undivided) leads me to believe that Be'Lakor is one of the lost primarchs.

I think that the enslavers count as and were the first type of daemons in existence. The warp was much calmer when the emperor was born in like 2,000 B.C. but enslavers appeared during the war in heaven which is like 60 million years old.

Malcador was one of the emperor's true sons, partly why he is kept closer than the primarchs.

Legion of the Damned are dead chaos space marines that in their death throes they wished for redemption and kinda become 'deamons' as a result
>>
Ollanius Pius is a perpetual because he was one of the true born children of the God Emperor.

It's the real reason why he cut the shit and butchered Horus instead of when Sanguinius was killed. The Primarchs in the end were mutant freaks who bore little true relation to the Emperor, and if anything were more like tools to the Emperor. But Pius was a long-forgotten, but trueborn son of his. And Horus killed him. It was then the Emperor realized his failure and the monsters he had created and ended Horus right on the spot.
>>
>>46336716
The Emperor was actually killed before they could get him to the Golden Throne.

Horus, however, was still alive but wiped clean by the Emperors psychic attack leaving him as an empty battery radiating Warp energy uncontrollably.

Horus is the one interred on the Golden Throne, the Psykers sacrificed to him trap his soul in the materium otherwise he would disintegrate into a blast of raw un-directed power.

The High Lords of Terra actively work against reviving the "Emperor" for this very reason, and aggressively hunt down the perpetuals to prevent them from doing so in a misguided attempt to bring back the Emperor.

Spoiler Alert:

The Chaos Gods are just splits of the Emperor's multiple personalities.

That's the theory. He used his power to create the leader humanity needed.

The idea being that Malcador isn't showy or larger than life, he's just a dude of mysterious origin and massive psychic power. Which is exactly what Big E was for the majority of human history. He was covert.

But the Emperor of the Great Crusade was anything but covert. He was big, golden and had an awe inspiring presence.

Maybe humanities guardian never changed his methods. Maybe he just created the leader we needed instead of waiting for one to appear.

He's lived from 10,000 years, has saints, operates the astronomican, and is guiding humanity through their psychic awakening. He's about to become a full-fledged god if he isn't a minor one already.

That's stupid and falls apart the moment you remember Khaine is a warp entity and Ctan hate that shit. Also, the entire War in Heaven myth is about the Eldar Gods fighting Khaine when the war against the Ctan had Khaine beating them up so there's not even any parallel.

>>46353429
Pretty much.

This is all assuming a psyker of incredible power is capable of creating a being of even greater power. Though, Emps may have been getting power ups from all the humans pouring their faith into him.

Not necessarily religious faith, mind you, but their faith in his ability to lead and his dream for the future.

I always hated the idea of Ollanius being some kind of immortal. It cheapens the sacrifice when the person doing it some some sort of ancient being with hundreds of life times under his belt.

To me he was and forever shall be a regular human who stood up to the embodiment of evil.

I also like the idea of a regular human making this sacrifice, but given that GW didn't really stick with it and made him a perpetual in recent canon, I would still appreciate >>46346444 's idea. At least it's better to me than a Terminator/Custodes doing it. And it could give Big E some character development, aside from "lol, I made 20 sons. Go and conquer the galaxy for me." And it could also explain a bit why the Emperor was such a "bad" daddy.

To be fair Sanguinius is at some point or another described as being every primarchs favourite brother. Something along the lines of '...even among such brotherhood as the Emperors sons the ties between Sanguinius and [insert primarch] were legendary and the stromgest of them all'

That's basically just Horus and Sanguinius.
Besides, Fulgrim and Ferrus Manus had the closest bond.

That's because he encompasses violence and murder. Warfare is an experience that the Eldar try to keep seperate from their normal lives, hence the use of masks and the path system in warfare. Othersie they get super PTSD. It makes sense that the God of that disconnected aspect of Eldar life is disconnected from the rest of the pantheon

it means khaine was an edgy shit. Just as the eldar are when they fight with their warmasks. And I thought that the entire thing about Isha was made up by fulgrim when he was doing coke.

The Big E was never a god, nor did he want to be.

However being on the golden throne fighting back against the hole Magnus made has forced him to slowly become one to save humanity.

The thing he hated (religion) is now the thing saving himself and humanity.

>>E Money is dead, and his corpse sits on the throne. All the sacrificed psykers are what actually powers the astronomicon

Rick Priestly explicitly references this in a recent interview, nobody can tell if the Emperor is actually there or is his corpse just a focusing lens that's slowly cracking.

Kinda close, the inquisitor rulebook implies that is was possible straight after the heresy to revive the emperor but one side of the Inquisition feared the ramifications/split that could happen.

It's hinted in the HH forgeworld books that catastrophic mutation/utilizing troops too early is what caused them to be purged, most likely the space marines mutated and the lost primarchs like Sangunius later, couldn't bear the though of letting their dudesmen die.

Here's some of my Theories/headcanon

The Emperor and Malcador were actually one and the same person and malcador was actually a way for the emperor to act without actually looking like he was doing anything

The Legion of the Damned are actually the imperium's impression of what space marines are like with the populous imprinting it upon the warp. Sort of like a version of daemons that are actually good instead of corrupting.

Cypher of the Dark Angels Is actually "walking the spiral" so as to help the dark angels see that they have actually become what they fight against and is actively trying to make it to the dark angel fortress to return the sword to their primarch.

That's all that I remember coming up with right now. I probably have more, if I can think of it.
