So, the Emperor may not have started off all that impressive compared to everything else around, but he *made* himself into something incredible through determination, trickery, intelligence and luck? That is the most *human* shit.
@@jmorrow1018 It's a common fan theory that the Emperor is still alive/ so impressive because the Orks believe he is. In-universe, this would more practically manifest as "stuff to do with the Emperor is more effective on the Orks, because they think it should be.", since Ork power of belief affects *them* and their stuff, not others.
@@Pyre except... Their belief in Yarrick let him just stick a power claw on a bloody stump and just use it. Like... I honestly believe the Orkz have no control over the Emperor's strength now, but if an Ork party made it into the palace, Big E would literally stand up and evaporate them with eye lasers that they honestly believe he has.
@@Pyre No serious well-read fan believes that. The idea that people think that waaaagh energy alters reality on a universal level constantly is ludicrous. Lore has consistently shown that the Orks alter reality on a local and pretty basic level(red vehicles faster, guns working when they shouldn’t, to some extent their growth etc). In some of the most extreme cases we see stuff like the battle moons from the beast series. Waaagh energy is powerful but it’s very localized and generally only effects “orky” things. Yarrick is hard to kill for Orks because THEY believe he is hard to kill. That said Yarrick can’t get stepped on by a Titan and walk away unscathed. That’s just not how WAAAAGH works.
I was a single father trying my best, while dealing with 18 different people, two of them constantly changing who they said they were, all of them with completely different morals, while also fighting a grand crusade to free the galaxy, give me a break
I hear a lot of criticism for his "parenting", but most of the references are of his interactions with adult primarchs. There is a significant difference between failing children as a parent and betraying offspring. It seems like he was more of a jerk to his generals, than a bad father.
I always had an idea that the Emperor did not make an agreement with the chaos Gods for more power, and that the entity that gave him a power boost could have been his own future self, The Anathema of chaos, a god of Order
@@bloodangel19 he arrives on Moloch and finds the Old One's portal to Warhammer Fantasy/Age of Sigmar and spent some time with the last Old Ones as chaos began taking root there, learning how it all works and then convinces the old ones to be absorbed by him to aid in the fight against chaos and/or necrons once more.
Other than being on Molech and entering a chaos gate that had the 4 ruinious powers stronghold in front of him..... Nice head cannon, but wholly untrue, he scammed the gods and flipped them the bird
Wow this makes me realize the Emperor is like a reflection of the Imperium. A bigger than life entity with unfathomable power, but fragmented and scattered. It requires great circumstances to bring even a fraction of that power together, but when it does it seems unstoppable
I'm calling it, 40k ends with the emperor achieving godhood and winning the great war, at the exact same time as ASI(Artificial Super Intelligence) is revealed in our real world. So maybe within the next 12 years
I found it super interesting that in the book mechanicum, when the emperors foresight and ability to plan ahead 10s of thousands of years and then the ability to know how to make those plans happen perfectly, is revealed to severine who is a mortal human, it overwhelmed and freaked her out so badly than she literally said "uhhhh nope" and backpedaled off a cliff with her friends watching to her death. And that's to say nothing of his actual power, cause that wasn't actually revealed. I mean she had been thru building super tech with the group and then survived a game of hide and seek with kaban the killer AI tank, but when she saw a fraction of the emperors hyper intelligent mind, she canceled herself. He doesn't even have to be there for his power to impact stories
To be fair if the plan includes voluntary get your soul suffer the same way the throne emperor did. Just to live long enough to find a way to win. I'll also just go cancel myself
@@canthurtcr8t503 haha solid decision. Yeah I didn't think it was really a reflection of severine but more a reflection of the genius of the emperor. All this also happened on Mars when the shit hit the fan and the dark mechanicum started a planet wide engine war that included an imperator titan, so severine may have been the smart one to just nope out of there. Prolly better than getting slowly tortured and murdered by daemon robots
@@communist-hippie it’s million of different dialects of low gothic with a single unifying high gothic. High gothic manages to be unified across the entire galaxy because it’s not a natural language and is viewed as sacred being the language of the god emperor
Big E: Manipulates Trazyn to steal a Votan Leagues: GET ME A WHOLE NEW BOOK FOR THIS ONE Kitten: sends in Ultra Marines to retrieve the stolen Votan Calgar: *ULTRADEPRESSION*
@@markcoroneos7811 The Primarchs, the Custodes and the original Legions of Space Marines are different genetic reflections of Emperor of Mankind in his own image, it's like taking "humans are made in the image of God" in verse part of The Bible but literally
The shamans that pooled their souls together to create the emperor were merely touching the warp, witch doctors playing with its calm currents. Imagine if they were at the level of power as psykers in 40k when they did the ritual, he would be insanely more powerful.
My guess is that the psykers had a similar level of power as some more modern high tier psykers, it was just less able to be expressed in those times due to the veil between the materium and the warp being stronger.
That's why I don't buy that theory. Same disconnect as the warp gods being created by humans. Makes more sense that he's the first everchosen or a creation of the old ones
One of my favorite theories about the Big E is that he is actually the ancient hero Gilgamesh. Immortality, super power, kind of an asshole… everything checks. And it also more or less coincide chronologically and geographically with what we have been told in the ancient shamans story.
that makes me wonder who the other characters of the Epic of Gilgamesh would be... I mean... Enquidu is a beastman created by a god in response to his abusive treatment of the people, and then proceeds to become best bros with Gilgamesh and actually make him decent for a while...
I like to think that the Emperor tricked the Choas gods into giving him the power of 'belief', this would give him an instant power boost and possibly stop the Chaos gods from killing him as a slight god
I have a headcannon that he was challenged by each chaos god to a game of sorts where each game is technically unwinable as you can’t really beat a god at its own game. But through trickery and exploiting loopholes he manages to win
You know, the more that I learn about the emperor the more that THAT theory about him not keeping a perfect STC only to force humanity to praise him, becomes more and more canon
6:10 Wasn't Malcador also a powerful enough psyker to overcome the Pariah gene? I seem to remember a scene were Horus orchestrated a situation where Malcador had to be in a room full of blanks to have his powers nullified. That seems to imply that one blank would not be enough. I'm pretty sure the scene is found in the novel "The Buried Dagger", but I could be mistaken.
@@argeltal_thewordbearer True, but my point is that it took more than one blank to produce that effect. Maybe Malcador would still have some of his power with one blank around.
Pariah/Blank status has grades, just like Psykers do. Some are stronger, some are weaker. A strong enough Psyker (or warp entity) can overcome a Pariah/Blank that isn't similarly high power. Edit: And that's only talking about primary materials, I don't even want to get into tertiary stuff like Inquisitor Marty's 'Alpha Pariah'.
I like the idea of the big E being a creation of the Old ones, but what if those shamans who created him in the first place were the last of the old ones who fused into him in the first place?
It could be true that they decided to reset. They decided to make humans the new civilization of their own to reincarnate into. The emperor had to begin cleanup of warp damage. He may have to either leave the seat with an inheritance for someone.
@@majorkill I know that, this is more shorthand for Urda part two. Any character that’s capable of throwing down with multiple greater daemons at all just feels like it would warrant two videos.
Had a thought for a video: each of the Primarchs have an aspect of E, Girlyman has logistics, Vulcan human love, Horus diplomacy, Magnus warp powers, etc. but what of the missing two? What aspect would they posses and how would that change things? Just thought it’d be a fun theory video for sometime.
Well they are the failed ones, so most likely parenting and social skill. The II Legion failed to reproduce and the XI Legion pissed off themself permanently until they killed each other.
I would wager that one was the ultimate Admiral (Great Crusade involves a lot of space warfare after all.) and another was intended as a counter to Psykers, Magnus in particular. At the very least, some Legion needs to fill the role, and I'd guess on Legion II being the ones. Legion I is the generalist ground forces, Legion II for Space Superiority. This could tie into what happened to them, since the firepower of ships is in the weight class to outright kill a Primarch (Unless it's Vulcan of course.) so it is possible Primarch II bought it in a space battle and their Legion mostly lost their minds, forcing a cull of them with survivor's potentially piled into the Ultramarines. Since it seems Legion II went down during the Rangdan Xenocides, that might even answer the when. Given we know that Legion XI went down separately from II, they didn't get erased during that debacle.
@Sorain1 so the 2nd is Rogal Dorn (fists were known for their naval warfare, and Helbrecht is currently the best naval commander) and the 11th is Russ?
I've theorized for some time that the Old Ones had a hand in creating the Emperor, or that he may even be some sort of Humanized Old One himself. I didn't know that it was a theory in the lore as well.
Even theny he couldnt take over humanity during the dark age of technology, thats also just tell us how insanly powerfull and advamced mankind was, I just realized this is the kind of thing death battle would do, deduce the power of something from its ability to fight someone, who intern survived against a third someone powerfull😅
what i like in the wH 40 000 visuals is that there are so much details to watch, that a simple one picture can be observed during several minutes without been boring...the emperor is powerful and always impressive
yeah i think he messed up when he said only 2 where immune to the pariah gene Malcador is know to have been one of the few people that could tolerate and actually enjoyed been around the Sister of Silence
The Emperor’s power are ridiculous even before his entombed in the Golden Throne, like summoning the Legion of the Damned in the Webway War and literally projecting himself across the Galaxy to scold Lorgar.
Even when bound to a golden torture chair, subjected to schizophrenia, made into a lich powering a giant magic lighthouse and forced to fight a forever war with hell, he still makes the chaos gods sweat. Its too bad he has been warped by the collective zealotry, pain and disregard for life of the Imperium.
Would love a video about the legendary Ragnar Blackmane dude is an absolute beast and is consider to be the future of the space wolves he's also had a massive impact on the setting and is even destined to lead the space wolves after Logan Grimnars death. Keep up the awesome videos man.
Random question- Does the Emperor act or think of himself as a singular individual or does he refer to himself as a fusion of those previous psykers that merged to form him?
To describe the difference in might my Father wielded, bevor and after his "Death", he create now cosmic, destiny changing, Events without knowing what he's doing by accident, in an scale which beforehand needed his full power. Would he resurrected with that Might he wield now, nothing could stand against him. But I got the feeling that, if that would go to happen, his mind would born out by all that power. No sentient creature could be able to handle such power without loosing itself in it.
That i would like to know too, cuz im sure that he would change a lot of shit so that the stubbern people who adhere to it by the letter dont just do stupid shit anymore.
He hasn't made any changes according to current lore. He's just not enforcing it anymore. If chapters want to continue following it then they can. If others want to deviate and/or ignore it altogether he won't get in the way. The latter makes it so that both the Space Wolves and the Black Templars won't have to hide their true numbers. If rumors about upcoming events are even half true then I wouldn't be surprised if most of the Dark Angels successor chapters get reintegrated back to being Dark Angels.
@@Tullaryx how did all the other chapters react to that, like, are the ultramarines less by the book now or they even more since theyr literal dad is back?
@@alexbrinzan9061 For the most part they continue to do what they've done. Space Wolves don't follow it and Black Templars just continue to make more crusades. The Ultramarines and their successor are adjusting to their gene-sire being back but conflicted that the book they've thought of as holy is now to be seen as just a book of guides and not hard law. It's not even the Codex Astartes that gets the most push back on but the Primaris Marines that Guilliman is pushing for all chapters to adopt.
6:21 also known as Zaël Epherati, the kid in Ravenor novel, as a teenager he have able to overcome a blanks due to the fact he was in constant contact with him and so use him as a conduit when he have done into coma, so yeah imagine what he can do as a fully trained psycher .
Other powers of the Emperor include: The ability to understand the nature of something by just touching it. He can break down what it is composed of and even speculate its age and origin. (He can also use this to sense through rock and earth. He used the skill to assess which vaults on Mars were safe to open.) Big E can also stop time and completely destroy and rebuild some instantly.
@@punani_slayer4209 Bad writing Like, even chaos gods aren't supposed to permanently damages him, yet he's still incapable of regeneration after 10.000 years Warhammer 40K lore writing regarding power level are so inconsistent due to the nature of the lack of direction for the past 20 years before GW tries to continues it chronologically and makes it actually readable for both players, Black Library readers and lore enthusiasts in general, Guilliman resurrection, Lion returning and any prospect of loyalist Primarchs being thrown back into the Settings' narratives into "The End Times" is great, although it's better that they have clear direction of whether to make Imperium (or "Order" factions) won over Chaos (while suppressing Tyrannids' invasions Or breakdown The Imperium into pockets of surviving humanity's new scattered factions, might as well breakdowns the Chaos factions, Orks and Tyrannids portions of their galactic heavens if they go into "Breakdown of Imperium and kill The Emperor" route with their End Times (probably includes Ynnead crushing Slaanesh into irrecoverable pieces akin to current 1000 Khaine avatars or something like that)
the line about the emp "seeing the destination, but not the many paths to get there" is like a 40k lore spoiler. if he wouldve forseen a future that was bad, ruined by the HH, he wouldve have not done what he did. so he had to have seen a good ending, but the HH, is the to path to get there. what a really good line. love these
Custodes Shield Captain - "Alright guys the Emperor is trying to send us message and we've got it down to 2 meanings.," Their white board says "Cut my life support." and "Barbecue Sauce is the only sauce to be used on Thursday."
3:20 - I wouldn't be so sure. He was not needed during the Dark Age of Tech. And I bet that many of the fancy toys from that times had some components he has invented.
NOTICE! Since you made Seth‘s video about warp entities that aren’t aligned with chaos. I’d like to propose a video idea of my own. About what remains of and references to ‘our’ era and earlier things from earth in the time of 40K. That’s something I’ve been interested in for a long time. PS: Majorkill please tell me if you see this comment. So I know the idea is in your head.
Started watching you just before pandemic, you helped with depression and anxiety. Appreciated the laughs and lore. It helped. Here I am the day after my dad died, appreciate the laughs and lore. Thanks man.
iirc, post-Enthroned Emperor can shackle a star too Technically he could wipe out a legion with precisive star-throwing on top of some Emperor shenanigans to wiped out a traitor Daemon Primarch like Lorgar permanently, but he might decided to stall the game and "play along" with the current big players in The Warp within current timeline to keep "The End Times" from happening way sooner (at least before there's recent sayings of the Golden Throne being failing and in code red status of maximum a century left), this on top of Tyrannids and even Orks being even way bigger threats than Chaos faction as a whole
Actually i think the emperor soul shattering was his doing to somehow automate holding off the webway and astronomicon for the price of split personality Also emperor being made by countless shamans merging theirs soul into one And emperors soul shattering sounds like something that these 2 have in common Maybe emperors split personality are actually shamans creepingoutside the emperor
I love the scene from the end and the death novel, were the 50 custodians that he brought with him aboard horus ship turned against him and he managed to kill 20 of them before they regained their senses.
Custodes: FINALLY! We can find out what our father is trying to say to us. God Emperor: My sons, help me... Custodes: What is it father? God Emperor: MY BALLS ITCH!
He is legitimately super powerful, you cannot have his feats without it. He swears hes not a god but shows ability to suggest he is. Even before the throne. His weakness was mankind. All the gods of the warp are the maximum version of what they represent. His love for humanity clipped his wings.
10:18 "juiced AF definitely not natty anymore" been a Warhammer fan since 1987 (yes I'm that old) I've spent 22 years in the US Infantry I've had several combat deployments and I've completed a few cycles of steroids mainly Test and Tren..huge fan of the death Korps of Krieg.. say that all to say this bit was hilarious and struck a cord I can definitely relate to.... great content you earned a sub.
30k: more powerful than a primarch, but not by a whole lot. A human man with Alpha+ psyker powers and immortality. 40k: pretty much equal to any one chaos god
He was night and day more powerful than all his sons. Assuming he had it in him, he could have easily killed them all at the same time. Several novels make this incredibly apparent.
@@SomeGuy-qh6rw not even slightly. This is a comprehensive list of all his combat feats: -Beat Leman Russ in a sparring match (no indication how close) -Beat a C'tan Shard (so has Ferrus) -Beat a few greater daemons in the Webway war after getting powered up by psyker sacrifices (several primarchs have beaten greater daemons, even Lorgar beat An'ggrath) -Beat some orks -Mutual kill on Chaos Horus (Russ also beat Chaos Horus) Anti-feats: -Lost to Drach'Nyen, immediately and easily -Lost to an ork Warboss -Mutual kill on Chaos Horus -Had his psychic shield broken by Magnus during the Siege The things he's actually done are very comparable to primarchs. Magnus in particular. Edit: also a reminder that Malcador, who is psychically powerful enough to do the Emperor's best feat (sit the throne) while also holding Titan in the Warp and having donated his power to the Emperor earlier in the siege, felt his bones igniting inside of him when he forced choked non-chaos Horus and essentially had to bluff that he'd kill him. And Magnus was ready and able to kill the Emperor during the Fury of Magnus novella.
@@im2randomghgh So... The Emperor doesn't actually lose to Drach'Nyen. He was injured by him, and not that long after, defeats Drach'nyen. The reason he didn't kill Drach'nyen, was because the demon was closely tied to humanity, which was part of the reason he was injured in the first place, because he was afraid what might happen if he killed the demon. Instead, he of course, turns him into a sword, and casts him into the warp. Drach is also specifically stated to be the most powerful of all Greater Daemons I believe. So powerful in fact, it is stated he doesn't need to serve the Chaos Gods at all and he doesn't. He is so far above Russ, it's not even funny. First off, Russ has comparable speed and strength o other Primarchs. When the Emperor moves, Primarchs can't even see his movement. It just appears as if he teleports. You also forgot to mention that the only reason he manages to defeat Horus is for two reasons. First Horus wasn't at full power yet, which the spear that injures him helps him obtain. Secondly, Russ is finally using the Spear his father gave him, which also contains a large portion of the Emperor's power, and which shields him from Horus' power. Why do we know Horus wasn't at full power? Well, for starters the second time they meet, Horus defeats Russ with ease and it takes hundreds of Space Wolves to drive Horus back like ants swarming a bug. As well as many other reasons. You say the Emperor was going to lose to an Ork. This is false. Did you even read the book? It had a re-occurring theme. It was told from the point of view of Horus. The entire point was Horus kept assuming he knew how powerful his father was, and every time he assumed his father was more powerful than the last, his expectations of his father's power was broken, again, and again, and again. Through out the entire book. The ork that held the Emperor was no exception, and Horus didn't even do anything but call out to his father. The Emperor then seeing Horus looking, instantly deals a blow to the Ork which not only kills him, but erases the Orks soul, and yet again, Horus realizes he has no clue how powerful his father actually is. But there is more. The Emperor then returns back to the Palace, in a room which is miles long, and full of massive Orks which even Custodes and Primarchs struggle against. The Emperor then in a single move, uses a homing attack to erase the entire army from existence. Horus falls to his knees, realizing once more he had no idea how powerful the Emperor really was. And this entire book was from his point of view to begin with. It is in this moment he starts to get the fact that the Emperor seems without limits and he starts to cry at the realization of the sheer power of his father, who he thinks is actually a god, despite what his father says, and what he did to Lorgar. The ENTIRE point of the book was to show the Emperor was never actually in ANY danger. But that he was more powerful than they could possibly imagine. Ah... Here we go. The Void dragon. Shards are not created equal, and the Void dragon is stated to be the largest remaining Shard, which... The Emperor defeats. The Shard which can dreams 4D spatial dimensions. He creates them... In his dreams. A finite 4D space, ihas infinitely more space than an infinite 3D space. Just as a finite 3D space has more space than an infinite 2D Space. We see an even weaker version than this Void Dragon, which is six shards put together. Still not as large as the Void Dragon's shard, which was very specifically said to be the largest piece to escape the Necrons when they were breaking C'tan. This smaller piece which was the Deceivers was able to throw a Black Hole with the mass of several galaxies. Yeah... He did that casually too. You forgot to mention that Magnus FAILED to break the Emperor's wards, and actually had to be empowered by Tzeentch in order to do so. Before that, he could have struggled for eternity and never done so. This is also an Emperor whose power was split between several things at the time, and whom had made entire legions of Space Marines kneel, while casually mind raping Magnus with a glance. Also, even an empowered Magnus still has to struggle to break the Emporer's wards. "A mutual kill of Horus." The Emperor held back the entire fight, which was the only reason Horus was able to wound him. The Emperor was trying to save Horus, and once he realized his son couldn't be saved, even in his weakened state due to his injuries, he kills his son. A son who was currently empowered by all four Chaos gods, who fled Horus' body in fear that a large portion of them too would be erased if they didn't do so. I've actually read most of these novels and keep close tabs on the lore. In particular I think it is most obvious you haven't read The Wolf of Ash and Fire. Which makes it most clear, that the Emperor is pretty much always holding back, and uses his power as a last result mostly. If you read the entire book, it is quite clear Horus has no clue how powerful his father is, yet continues to assume that he does, only to be proven wrong. The other novels feel about the same. I feel you either read those details from a wiki, heard them from a lore video, or read them without full context. While I normally would include at least some of the sources we are discussing, there isn't enough room in a youtube comment to post these passages. And when I say I don't think you read certain things, I ultimately don't mean any dis-respect. Much of this is just posted to give greater detail of events you mentioned.
@@SomeGuy-qh6rw of course, discussing lore doesn't come from a place of disrespect! First off, I have read every relevant novel, and wouldn't reference anything I couldn't vouch for myself. -Re: Drach'Nyen, the Emperor definitely lost that fight. Right before it, Ra sees genuine fear on the Emperor's face and he's laid low by the very first exchange of blows with the daemon. He didn't turn Drach'Nyen into a sword. Drach'Nyen is a shapeshifter, as demonstrated throughout the whole book, and turned into a blade in order to submerge itself in the Emperor because it was literally drinking his life force! The only thing the Emperor did was foresee this and position Ra accordingly, then teleport next to him and stab the sword into him. He was very much overpowered though. Drach is certainly one of the more powerful daemons in the warp and is unaligned, but the text does not say he is the single strongest Daemon. It's reasonably likely, but that would be an assumption. Secondary to that, I wasn't comparing the Emperor fighting Drach'Nyen to primarchs fighting greater daemons. I was comparing the Emperor fighting a handful of greater daemons one at a time when he first entered the Webway to primarchs fighting greater daemons. I wouldn't compare the Drach'Nyen fight to anything because he was immediately and vastly overpowered so it's not a feat. -Re: Emperor vs ork, I've read the book. Horus did just shout/distract the ork - he grabbed the massive lightning cannon mounted on the ork's back and used it to obliterate the arm it used to choke the Emperor. The text also specifically refers to the Emperor's lifeless body so it seems that the ork actually killed him and then his perpetual abilities resurrected him. He actually killed it by stabbing it with his sword and dragging it around, and then used The Holocaust on its body. That's the power that the Emperor used on Horus, which Magnus (and modern Grey Knights) can use as well. Iirc, the author has also commented that the Emperor genuinely was in trouble there and needed rescuing but I haven't read that interview myself (there are sooo many!) So that's just a bonus point more than anything. As far as killing a room full of orks afterwards, that's a Magnus/Malcador/Eldrad tier psychic feat, no great revelation. -Re: Russ vs Horus - Russ's spear does have a magical power, but like Valdor's it is a very specific enchantment that allows insight into the enemy. It isn't like the Emperor's flaming sword - no sources have ascribed it any tremendous chaos beating powers. Horus acquired somewhat more power after the fight with Russ, but was also dying by the time of the Siege because it was tearing him apart. -Re: Magnus vs Emperor's Shield - I was referring to the Emperor's shield during the siege of Terra. Initially the Emperor was able to keep daemons outside the perimeter of the palace but Magnus applied pressured throughout the Siege and was continually shrinking it, even allowing daemons to spawn directly in the sanctum by Echoes of Eternity. Referring to the Webway shield, Magnus could breach a shield the Emperor prepared in advance and powered himself and which was built on the foundations of the Old Ones' Webway, while Magnus was on the other side of the Galaxy. And again, the Emperor IS stronger than Magnus. It's just not night and day. Best point of comparison might be the newest TT rules actually: primarchs are around 400 points, Horus Ascended is 500 and so the Emperor probably is too. Like the interview that's a cherry on top rather than a proper line of reasoning though! -Re: Emperor vs Chaos Horus - one version goes that way, true. One version also says the Emperor only won because of the hole in Horus's armour from his Sanguinius fight. Until the last Siege of Terra book comes out we won't know what happened, beyond the fact that both Horus and the Emperor died. We do know that it was the Talon of Horus that killed the Emperor, and that it isn't crawling with chaos corruption or anything of the sort. As far as destroying all four gods, definitely no. Tzeentch was able to give Magnus a fraction of his power and absolutely obliterate the Webway gate beyond repair. Also, the 40k era Emperor (vastly more powerful than the 30k version) is explicitly equal to Nurgle in power, so clearly not vastly more powerful than 4 of them put together before his power boost. Edit: Re: C'tan shard - The one Ferrus killed seemed most likely to be one of the Void Dragon's shards as well, having been described as a wyrm iirc. Also, C'tan shards, greater daemons, and Avatars are generally held to be similar in power and primarchs (and marines) have beaten them.
I kind of disagree that he didn't cake control over Mankind during Dark Age of Technology becasue "they were too powerful". As per old lore, and as far as I know it still stands, he only take control when Mankind really f**ked things up. I believe he became like he was at the start of Unification wars becasue he had high hopes in Humans and they failed him greatly during the Age of Strife.
all anyone in 40K would need to do to become near unbeatable by most people is just convince the orc population that they are a god in battle and the orcs will inadvertently power you up
One thing few mention is that the Emperor is now, for all intents and purposes, entirely a warp entity, and has to spend considerable power to just keep his body just barely alive enough to plug the webway gate. This is also comically, unimaginably torturous and painful, which is probably the main reason he doesn't communicate much in a comprehensible manner - after all, he's a completely regular guy, just with ludicrous psychic powers, and those can't really help with mitigating the pain of being beaten to death and tortured in every conceivable and inconceivable way at once - I mean, if you were jumped by 100 dudes and they were constantly beating the shit out of you, you wouldn't really be able to focus on talking to your friends much, no?
Hey Majorkill. Would you please make some lore videos on the Imperial Truth, the Imperial Creed, The Ecclesiarchy, and the High Lords of Terra? Thank you.
I think the moment that ork almost killed the emperor, it was clear that he could no longer split he power and attention to his webway project and expect to perform at his best. Thus Ullanor
So, wait... if the only way to kill a perpetual is a shard of the Emperor's psychic might, but that shard is a part of Big E to begin with, would that even work on him?
Video Idea: Got anything planned to coincide with the release of Darktide? Maybe a look at the Inquisition and how acolytes do their dirty work for them? Lots of material in the Dark Heresy RPG. Plus the Dan Abnett Eisenhorn and Ravenor books.
When the emps first met one of the primarchs (corvus corax iirc) They recalled seeing a human so mundane that they couldn't remember a single detail. Meanwhile his entire army kneeled out of the psychic pression they felt and the primarchs immediately saw big E as a giant with blinding psychic ligth emanating from his form Edit: even Corvus almost kneeled because of the splendor of his father aura but just barely resisted the urge to do so
I like the perpetual theory. He has gained the knowledge over a thousand of years and witness the mistakes made. He has his power because of the faith of his subjects, but how would he use it I think the Ceasar analogy fits. Who knows what those 2 intended?
I like to think the Emperor was made of 1,002 Souls. 1,000 Shamans. 1 Old One. 1 normal Human. Possibly the Old One manipulating the Shamans to their decision but once inside the new Human, they all combined.
Super video ! I wish you could make the same about primarchs ! Cause They have been longer Dead/absent, than present in the setting, and basic Spacemarines are still doing fine without them for around 10 000 years now. So like, okay you improove by replacing an spacemarine by a Primarch, but not that much it seems.
I always loved how you describe how he revived Gulliman. "He resurrected Gulliman, Called maltarian a bitch and sent a fuck you letter to Nurgle (Setting him on Fire)" Such a funny quote
I like the head cannon more: As Sanguinius and Conrad Curze did not see multiple futures, but only exact one which would be their destiny that... the Emperor has started with a basic knowledge about seeing the future. But now or in the future he gets so powerfull that he can impact the time. Making him doing the things he actually already did (cause time play is crazy) that exactly that planned future comes into reality. Boom! The Emperor Protects!

40K Warhammer video about black people
Hey majorkill 👋😁
A Interaction for the Interaction God, a Comment for the Comment Throne, for the Almighty Algorithm
Yo what if big E never came out of hidding ?
Video idea: How would each Primarch react and rule the imperium, if they were the one to return first instead of Guilliman
Majorkill please do this one. This would make a great video
loyalist primarchs of course
This is such a great idea
Political purge
Konrad Curze: "Your license to live has expired."
The irony of Orcs seeing him as a god of war and accidentally empowering him further is great
The thought of a better more threatening emprah only makes the ork's mushrooms bigger.
Honestly the orks seeing you as a god of war is the greatest compliment they can give you XD
BIg boss E warmonger
The Throne Emperor really needs to get a text to speech device installed into the Golden Throne.
Stephen Hawking style
fucking hilarious.
None of his followers would believe him because he would hate what became of his empire.
I injoy this reference
Gotta have good voice acting. This could be a movie
So, the Emperor may not have started off all that impressive compared to everything else around, but he *made* himself into something incredible through determination, trickery, intelligence and luck?
That is the most *human* shit.
personally I have the theory that the orks believes about him make a huge difference
@@daftwulli6145 I hate to break it to you then, your theory makes no sense and is wrong.
@@jmorrow1018 It's a common fan theory that the Emperor is still alive/ so impressive because the Orks believe he is.
In-universe, this would more practically manifest as "stuff to do with the Emperor is more effective on the Orks, because they think it should be.", since Ork power of belief affects *them* and their stuff, not others.
@@Pyre except... Their belief in Yarrick let him just stick a power claw on a bloody stump and just use it. Like... I honestly believe the Orkz have no control over the Emperor's strength now, but if an Ork party made it into the palace, Big E would literally stand up and evaporate them with eye lasers that they honestly believe he has.
@@Pyre No serious well-read fan believes that. The idea that people think that waaaagh energy alters reality on a universal level constantly is ludicrous. Lore has consistently shown that the Orks alter reality on a local and pretty basic level(red vehicles faster, guns working when they shouldn’t, to some extent their growth etc). In some of the most extreme cases we see stuff like the battle moons from the beast series. Waaagh energy is powerful but it’s very localized and generally only effects “orky” things. Yarrick is hard to kill for Orks because THEY believe he is hard to kill. That said Yarrick can’t get stepped on by a Titan and walk away unscathed. That’s just not how WAAAAGH works.
I think the better question is, what powers doesn't he have ? Which is simple, the power of parenting.
Daddy when I'll get my Power sword?!?
The most Destructive ability
I was a single father trying my best, while dealing with 18 different people, two of them constantly changing who they said they were, all of them with completely different morals, while also fighting a grand crusade to free the galaxy, give me a break
I hear a lot of criticism for his "parenting", but most of the references are of his interactions with adult primarchs. There is a significant difference between failing children as a parent and betraying offspring. It seems like he was more of a jerk to his generals, than a bad father.
The god emperor is basically plutonian from irredeemable fused with vandal savage.
I always had an idea that the Emperor did not make an agreement with the chaos Gods for more power, and that the entity that gave him a power boost could have been his own future self, The Anathema of chaos, a god of Order
I like to think he found the last old one, waiting for him. He mentored and enpowered the emperor before allowing itself to die.
@@bloodangel19 he arrives on Moloch and finds the Old One's portal to Warhammer Fantasy/Age of Sigmar and spent some time with the last Old Ones as chaos began taking root there, learning how it all works and then convinces the old ones to be absorbed by him to aid in the fight against chaos and/or necrons once more.
Some Imperium Ascendant shit right there. I dig it.
Other than being on Molech and entering a chaos gate that had the 4 ruinious powers stronghold in front of him.....
Nice head cannon, but wholly untrue, he scammed the gods and flipped them the bird
@@adrienwatson2179 the emperor was the hot single in the area.
Wow this makes me realize the Emperor is like a reflection of the Imperium. A bigger than life entity with unfathomable power, but fragmented and scattered. It requires great circumstances to bring even a fraction of that power together, but when it does it seems unstoppable
I'm calling it, 40k ends with the emperor achieving godhood and winning the great war, at the exact same time as ASI(Artificial Super Intelligence) is revealed in our real world. So maybe within the next 12 years
GOATed conclusion to come to
Honestly, the best comparison I've heard so far
Hell yeah!💪
I’d say more the imperium is a reflection of him.
I found it super interesting that in the book mechanicum, when the emperors foresight and ability to plan ahead 10s of thousands of years and then the ability to know how to make those plans happen perfectly, is revealed to severine who is a mortal human, it overwhelmed and freaked her out so badly than she literally said "uhhhh nope" and backpedaled off a cliff with her friends watching to her death. And that's to say nothing of his actual power, cause that wasn't actually revealed. I mean she had been thru building super tech with the group and then survived a game of hide and seek with kaban the killer AI tank, but when she saw a fraction of the emperors hyper intelligent mind, she canceled herself. He doesn't even have to be there for his power to impact stories
To be fair if the plan includes voluntary get your soul suffer the same way the throne emperor did. Just to live long enough to find a way to win. I'll also just go cancel myself
@@canthurtcr8t503 haha solid decision. Yeah I didn't think it was really a reflection of severine but more a reflection of the genius of the emperor. All this also happened on Mars when the shit hit the fan and the dark mechanicum started a planet wide engine war that included an imperator titan, so severine may have been the smart one to just nope out of there. Prolly better than getting slowly tortured and murdered by daemon robots
And yet he's still a shitty parent.
This story is hillarious
To be fair, his imply every one that got murdered and raped is part of his plan, including the horny heresy
Ofc she got spooked

@@beneko1127 Ferrus' boys would have some good ideas I reckon, same with the Khan

@@markcoroneos7811 The Primarchs, the Custodes and the original Legions of Space Marines are different genetic reflections of Emperor of Mankind in his own image, it's like taking "humans are made in the image of God" in verse part of The Bible but literally
more like Dr Doom
Don't forget their different sense in fashion my friend.
_Golden Armour_ has a very different aesthetic compared to *Human Skin Trenchcoat.*
Minus space aids
The shamans that pooled their souls together to create the emperor were merely touching the warp, witch doctors playing with its calm currents. Imagine if they were at the level of power as psykers in 40k when they did the ritual, he would be insanely more powerful.
Galaxy explodes lol
My guess is that the psykers had a similar level of power as some more modern high tier psykers, it was just less able to be expressed in those times due to the veil between the materium and the warp being stronger.
I guess no chance to repeat that ritual in 40k after chaos has become that sentient. You’ll create overflawed Abaddon instead
That's why I don't buy that theory. Same disconnect as the warp gods being created by humans. Makes more sense that he's the first everchosen or a creation of the old ones
*DEATH INCARNATE*
Majorkill: Just how powerful is the Emperor really?
Jimmy Space: *Yes.*
One of my favorite theories about the Big E is that he is actually the ancient hero Gilgamesh. Immortality, super power, kind of an asshole… everything checks. And it also more or less coincide chronologically and geographically with what we have been told in the ancient shamans story.
that makes me wonder who the other characters of the Epic of Gilgamesh would be... I mean... Enquidu is a beastman created by a god in response to his abusive treatment of the people, and then proceeds to become best bros with Gilgamesh and actually make him decent for a while...
@@gabrielandradeferraz386 Malcador? He and Jimmy Space are practically attached by the hip
he could also be Aten, the monotheistic egyptian sun god
@michaelkelley2727 It was stated by Horus that the emperor was Alexander the Great, so
Who was much later. He could have even both. And Caesar. And obviously Hitler trying to create Proto-Space Marines with the Lebensborn project.
I like to think that the Emperor tricked the Choas gods into giving him the power of 'belief', this would give him an instant power boost and possibly stop the Chaos gods from killing him as a slight god
I have a headcannon that he was challenged by each chaos god to a game of sorts where each game is technically unwinable as you can’t really beat a god at its own game. But through trickery and exploiting loopholes he manages to win
Video idea: how would you rewrite Horus heresy ?
Yes just yes this needs to be made
Cool idea
Horus just needed to compliment Puertabo once and the whole thing would have been in the bag

You know, the more that I learn about the emperor the more that THAT theory about him not keeping a perfect STC only to force humanity to praise him, becomes more and more canon
yeah... except most of this vid is just outright false?
6:10 Wasn't Malcador also a powerful enough psyker to overcome the Pariah gene? I seem to remember a scene were Horus orchestrated a situation where Malcador had to be in a room full of blanks to have his powers nullified. That seems to imply that one blank would not be enough. I'm pretty sure the scene is found in the novel "The Buried Dagger", but I could be mistaken.
Yeah, but Malcador managed to survive with the help of premium archeotech: force field and portable weapon, since his psychic might got cancelled
I thought he meant big E and malcador?
@@Cptraktorn I'm pretty sure he meant Hyperion, but hey, nobody's infallible.
@@argeltal_thewordbearer True, but my point is that it took more than one blank to produce that effect. Maybe Malcador would still have some of his power with one blank around.
Pariah/Blank status has grades, just like Psykers do. Some are stronger, some are weaker. A strong enough Psyker (or warp entity) can overcome a Pariah/Blank that isn't similarly high power. Edit: And that's only talking about primary materials, I don't even want to get into tertiary stuff like Inquisitor Marty's 'Alpha Pariah'.
I think a cool idea for a video would be a “type of person you are based on what army you play” kind of thing.
I like the idea of the big E being a creation of the Old ones, but what if those shamans who created him in the first place were the last of the old ones who fused into him in the first place?
I will liked
It could be true that they decided to reset. They decided to make humans the new civilization of their own to reincarnate into. The emperor had to begin cleanup of warp damage. He may have to either leave the seat with an inheritance for someone.

@Where’s the Money Lebowski When did I ever say that ? I meant that if the guy wants to see that video he can watch Wes’ vid
Had a thought for a video: each of the Primarchs have an aspect of E, Girlyman has logistics, Vulcan human love, Horus diplomacy, Magnus warp powers, etc. but what of the missing two? What aspect would they posses and how would that change things?
Just thought it’d be a fun theory video for sometime.
Well they are the failed ones, so most likely parenting and social skill. The II Legion failed to reproduce and the XI Legion pissed off themself permanently until they killed each other.
I would wager that one was the ultimate Admiral (Great Crusade involves a lot of space warfare after all.) and another was intended as a counter to Psykers, Magnus in particular. At the very least, some Legion needs to fill the role, and I'd guess on Legion II being the ones. Legion I is the generalist ground forces, Legion II for Space Superiority.
This could tie into what happened to them, since the firepower of ships is in the weight class to outright kill a Primarch (Unless it's Vulcan of course.) so it is possible Primarch II bought it in a space battle and their Legion mostly lost their minds, forcing a cull of them with survivor's potentially piled into the Ultramarines. Since it seems Legion II went down during the Rangdan Xenocides, that might even answer the when. Given we know that Legion XI went down separately from II, they didn't get erased during that debacle.
@Sorain1 so the 2nd is Rogal Dorn (fists were known for their naval warfare, and Helbrecht is currently the best naval commander) and the 11th is Russ?
I've theorized for some time that the Old Ones had a hand in creating the Emperor, or that he may even be some sort of Humanized Old One himself. I didn't know that it was a theory in the lore as well.
The Emperor scares the Chaos Gods so that should give you an indication of what he can do.
Even theny he couldnt take over humanity during the dark age of technology, thats also just tell us how insanly powerfull and advamced mankind was,
I just realized this is the kind of thing death battle would do, deduce the power of something from its ability to fight someone, who intern survived against a third someone powerfull😅

Remember , the Emperor put the Void Dragon in coma from beating him to the head!
The Harlequins saw Guilliman's ressurection coming, and possibly even Eldrad... Did rather alot to make it happen.
The Emperor’s power are ridiculous even before his entombed in the Golden Throne, like summoning the Legion of the Damned in the Webway War and literally projecting himself across the Galaxy to scold Lorgar.
I'm sure that Emperor put Leman Rus into a coma, few days out for a Primarch is a coma in my book.
Based on his feats I could totally see the Emperor keeping himself alive manually with psyker powers if he weren't simply perpetual.
The final note that Orcs revere him as a god of war really hits home for me how awesome the Emperor is.
Rumor has it that the emperor obliterated Timmy's soul and that's why he's no longer around
Even when bound to a golden torture chair, subjected to schizophrenia, made into a lich powering a giant magic lighthouse and forced to fight a forever war with hell, he still makes the chaos gods sweat. Its too bad he has been warped by the collective zealotry, pain and disregard for life of the Imperium.

Random question- Does the Emperor act or think of himself as a singular individual or does he refer to himself as a fusion of those previous psykers that merged to form him?
To describe the difference in might my Father wielded, bevor and after his "Death", he create now cosmic, destiny changing, Events without knowing what he's doing by accident, in an scale which beforehand needed his full power.
Would he resurrected with that Might he wield now, nothing could stand against him.
But I got the feeling that, if that would go to happen, his mind would born out by all that power. No sentient creature could be able to handle such power without loosing itself in it.
What changes Guilliman did to the Codex Astartes? since I heard that 1000 Space Marines per chapter is no longer a limit, but a recommended number.
That i would like to know too, cuz im sure that he would change a lot of shit so that the stubbern people who adhere to it by the letter dont just do stupid shit anymore.
He hasn't made any changes according to current lore. He's just not enforcing it anymore. If chapters want to continue following it then they can. If others want to deviate and/or ignore it altogether he won't get in the way. The latter makes it so that both the Space Wolves and the Black Templars won't have to hide their true numbers. If rumors about upcoming events are even half true then I wouldn't be surprised if most of the Dark Angels successor chapters get reintegrated back to being Dark Angels.
@@Tullaryx how did all the other chapters react to that, like, are the ultramarines less by the book now or they even more since theyr literal dad is back?
@@alexbrinzan9061 For the most part they continue to do what they've done. Space Wolves don't follow it and Black Templars just continue to make more crusades.

Other powers of the Emperor include:
The ability to understand the nature of something by just touching it. He can break down what it is composed of and even speculate its age and origin.

Warhammer 40K lore writing regarding power level are so inconsistent due to the nature of the lack of direction for the past 20 years before GW tries to continues it chronologically and makes it actually readable for both players, Black Library readers and lore enthusiasts in general, Guilliman resurrection, Lion returning and any prospect of loyalist Primarchs being thrown back into the Settings' narratives into "The End Times" is great, although it's better that they have clear direction of whether to make Imperium (or "Order" factions) won over Chaos (while suppressing Tyrannids' invasions
Or breakdown The Imperium into pockets of surviving humanity's new scattered factions, might as well breakdowns the Chaos factions, Orks and Tyrannids portions of their galactic heavens if they go into "Breakdown of Imperium and kill The Emperor" route with their End Times (probably includes Ynnead crushing Slaanesh into irrecoverable pieces akin to current 1000 Khaine avatars or something like that)

iirc, post-Enthroned Emperor can shackle a star too
Technically he could wipe out a legion with precisive star-throwing on top of some Emperor shenanigans to wiped out a traitor Daemon Primarch like Lorgar permanently, but he might decided to stall the game and "play along" with the current big players in The Warp within current timeline to keep "The End Times" from happening way sooner (at least before there's recent sayings of the Golden Throne being failing and in code red status of maximum a century left), this on top of Tyrannids and even Orks being even way bigger threats than Chaos faction as a whole

30k: more powerful than a primarch, but not by a whole lot. A human man with Alpha+ psyker powers and immortality.
40k: pretty much equal to any one chaos god
True
He was night and day more powerful than all his sons. Assuming he had it in him, he could have easily killed them all at the same time. Several novels make this incredibly apparent.
@@SomeGuy-qh6rw not even slightly. This is a comprehensive list of all his combat feats:
-Beat Leman Russ in a sparring match (no indication how close)
-Beat a C'tan Shard (so has Ferrus)
-Beat a few greater daemons in the Webway war after getting powered up by psyker sacrifices (several primarchs have beaten greater daemons, even Lorgar beat An'ggrath)
-Beat some orks
-Mutual kill on Chaos Horus (Russ also beat Chaos Horus)
Anti-feats:
-Lost to Drach'Nyen, immediately and easily
-Lost to an ork Warboss
-Mutual kill on Chaos Horus
-Had his psychic shield broken by Magnus during the Siege
The things he's actually done are very comparable to primarchs. Magnus in particular.
Edit: also a reminder that Malcador, who is psychically powerful enough to do the Emperor's best feat (sit the throne) while also holding Titan in the Warp and having donated his power to the Emperor earlier in the siege, felt his bones igniting inside of him when he forced choked non-chaos Horus and essentially had to bluff that he'd kill him. And Magnus was ready and able to kill the Emperor during the Fury of Magnus novella.
@@im2randomghgh So... The Emperor doesn't actually lose to Drach'Nyen. He was injured by him, and not that long after, defeats Drach'nyen. The reason he didn't kill Drach'nyen, was because the demon was closely tied to humanity, which was part of the reason he was injured in the first place, because he was afraid what might happen if he killed the demon. Instead, he of course, turns him into a sword, and casts him into the warp. Drach is also specifically stated to be the most powerful of all Greater Daemons I believe. So powerful in fact, it is stated he doesn't need to serve the Chaos Gods at all and he doesn't.
He is so far above Russ, it's not even funny. First off, Russ has comparable speed and strength o other Primarchs. When the Emperor moves, Primarchs can't even see his movement. It just appears as if he teleports. You also forgot to mention that the only reason he manages to defeat Horus is for two reasons. First Horus wasn't at full power yet, which the spear that injures him helps him obtain. Secondly, Russ is finally using the Spear his father gave him, which also contains a large portion of the Emperor's power, and which shields him from Horus' power.
Why do we know Horus wasn't at full power? Well, for starters the second time they meet, Horus defeats Russ with ease and it takes hundreds of Space Wolves to drive Horus back like ants swarming a bug. As well as many other reasons.
You say the Emperor was going to lose to an Ork. This is false. Did you even read the book? It had a re-occurring theme. It was told from the point of view of Horus. The entire point was Horus kept assuming he knew how powerful his father was, and every time he assumed his father was more powerful than the last, his expectations of his father's power was broken, again, and again, and again. Through out the entire book. The ork that held the Emperor was no exception, and Horus didn't even do anything but call out to his father. The Emperor then seeing Horus looking, instantly deals a blow to the Ork which not only kills him, but erases the Orks soul, and yet again, Horus realizes he has no clue how powerful his father actually is. But there is more. The Emperor then returns back to the Palace, in a room which is miles long, and full of massive Orks which even Custodes and Primarchs struggle against. The Emperor then in a single move, uses a homing attack to erase the entire army from existence. Horus falls to his knees, realizing once more he had no idea how powerful the Emperor really was. And this entire book was from his point of view to begin with. It is in this moment he starts to get the fact that the Emperor seems without limits and he starts to cry at the realization of the sheer power of his father, who he thinks is actually a god, despite what his father says, and what he did to Lorgar. The ENTIRE point of the book was to show the Emperor was never actually in ANY danger. But that he was more powerful than they could possibly imagine.
Ah... Here we go. The Void dragon. Shards are not created equal, and the Void dragon is stated to be the largest remaining Shard, which... The Emperor defeats. The Shard which can dreams 4D spatial dimensions. He creates them... In his dreams. A finite 4D space, ihas infinitely more space than an infinite 3D space. Just as a finite 3D space has more space than an infinite 2D Space.
We see an even weaker version than this Void Dragon, which is six shards put together. Still not as large as the Void Dragon's shard, which was very specifically said to be the largest piece to escape the Necrons when they were breaking C'tan. This smaller piece which was the Deceivers was able to throw a Black Hole with the mass of several galaxies. Yeah... He did that casually too.
You forgot to mention that Magnus FAILED to break the Emperor's wards, and actually had to be empowered by Tzeentch in order to do so. Before that, he could have struggled for eternity and never done so. This is also an Emperor whose power was split between several things at the time, and whom had made entire legions of Space Marines kneel, while casually mind raping Magnus with a glance. Also, even an empowered Magnus still has to struggle to break the Emporer's wards.
"A mutual kill of Horus." The Emperor held back the entire fight, which was the only reason Horus was able to wound him. The Emperor was trying to save Horus, and once he realized his son couldn't be saved, even in his weakened state due to his injuries, he kills his son. A son who was currently empowered by all four Chaos gods, who fled Horus' body in fear that a large portion of them too would be erased if they didn't do so.
I've actually read most of these novels and keep close tabs on the lore. In particular I think it is most obvious you haven't read The Wolf of Ash and Fire. Which makes it most clear, that the Emperor is pretty much always holding back, and uses his power as a last result mostly. If you read the entire book, it is quite clear Horus has no clue how powerful his father is, yet continues to assume that he does, only to be proven wrong. The other novels feel about the same. I feel you either read those details from a wiki, heard them from a lore video, or read them without full context.
While I normally would include at least some of the sources we are discussing, there isn't enough room in a youtube comment to post these passages. And when I say I don't think you read certain things, I ultimately don't mean any dis-respect. Much of this is just posted to give greater detail of events you mentioned.
@@SomeGuy-qh6rw of course, discussing lore doesn't come from a place of disrespect!
First off, I have read every relevant novel, and wouldn't reference anything I couldn't vouch for myself.
-Re: Drach'Nyen, the Emperor definitely lost that fight. Right before it, Ra sees genuine fear on the Emperor's face and he's laid low by the very first exchange of blows with the daemon. He didn't turn Drach'Nyen into a sword. Drach'Nyen is a shapeshifter, as demonstrated throughout the whole book, and turned into a blade in order to submerge itself in the Emperor because it was literally drinking his life force! The only thing the Emperor did was foresee this and position Ra accordingly, then teleport next to him and stab the sword into him. He was very much overpowered though. Drach is certainly one of the more powerful daemons in the warp and is unaligned, but the text does not say he is the single strongest Daemon. It's reasonably likely, but that would be an assumption.
Secondary to that, I wasn't comparing the Emperor fighting Drach'Nyen to primarchs fighting greater daemons. I was comparing the Emperor fighting a handful of greater daemons one at a time when he first entered the Webway to primarchs fighting greater daemons. I wouldn't compare the Drach'Nyen fight to anything because he was immediately and vastly overpowered so it's not a feat.
-Re: Emperor vs ork, I've read the book. Horus did just shout/distract the ork - he grabbed the massive lightning cannon mounted on the ork's back and used it to obliterate the arm it used to choke the Emperor. The text also specifically refers to the Emperor's lifeless body so it seems that the ork actually killed him and then his perpetual abilities resurrected him. He actually killed it by stabbing it with his sword and dragging it around, and then used The Holocaust on its body. That's the power that the Emperor used on Horus, which Magnus (and modern Grey Knights) can use as well. Iirc, the author has also commented that the Emperor genuinely was in trouble there and needed rescuing but I haven't read that interview myself (there are sooo many!) So that's just a bonus point more than anything. As far as killing a room full of orks afterwards, that's a Magnus/Malcador/Eldrad tier psychic feat, no great revelation.
-Re: Russ vs Horus - Russ's spear does have a magical power, but like Valdor's it is a very specific enchantment that allows insight into the enemy. It isn't like the Emperor's flaming sword - no sources have ascribed it any tremendous chaos beating powers. Horus acquired somewhat more power after the fight with Russ, but was also dying by the time of the Siege because it was tearing him apart.
-Re: Magnus vs Emperor's Shield - I was referring to the Emperor's shield during the siege of Terra. Initially the Emperor was able to keep daemons outside the perimeter of the palace but Magnus applied pressured throughout the Siege and was continually shrinking it, even allowing daemons to spawn directly in the sanctum by Echoes of Eternity.
Referring to the Webway shield, Magnus could breach a shield the Emperor prepared in advance and powered himself and which was built on the foundations of the Old Ones' Webway, while Magnus was on the other side of the Galaxy. And again, the Emperor IS stronger than Magnus. It's just not night and day. Best point of comparison might be the newest TT rules actually: primarchs are around 400 points, Horus Ascended is 500 and so the Emperor probably is too. Like the interview that's a cherry on top rather than a proper line of reasoning though!
-Re: Emperor vs Chaos Horus - one version goes that way, true. One version also says the Emperor only won because of the hole in Horus's armour from his Sanguinius fight. Until the last Siege of Terra book comes out we won't know what happened, beyond the fact that both Horus and the Emperor died. We do know that it was the Talon of Horus that killed the Emperor, and that it isn't crawling with chaos corruption or anything of the sort.
As far as destroying all four gods, definitely no. Tzeentch was able to give Magnus a fraction of his power and absolutely obliterate the Webway gate beyond repair. Also, the 40k era Emperor (vastly more powerful than the 30k version) is explicitly equal to Nurgle in power, so clearly not vastly more powerful than 4 of them put together before his power boost.
Edit: Re: C'tan shard - The one Ferrus killed seemed most likely to be one of the Void Dragon's shards as well, having been described as a wyrm iirc. Also, C'tan shards, greater daemons, and Avatars are generally held to be similar in power and primarchs (and marines) have beaten them.
How bout a video on the Rogue Traders of the Galaxy? Notable ones, how they're cool, how they fit with the setting, all that good stuff.
I kind of disagree that he didn't cake control over Mankind during Dark Age of Technology becasue "they were too powerful".
As per old lore, and as far as I know it still stands, he only take control when Mankind really f**ked things up. I believe he became like he was at the start of Unification wars becasue he had high hopes in Humans and they failed him greatly during the Age of Strife.
Well the emperor is really sus for not helping the humans during the fall of the dark age
all anyone in 40K would need to do to become near unbeatable by most people is just convince the orc population that they are a god in battle and the orcs will inadvertently power you up
Gonna keep saying it. We need a dedicated Sigmar biographic. Whole life story, powers, abilities etc.
One thing few mention is that the Emperor is now, for all intents and purposes, entirely a warp entity, and has to spend considerable power to just keep his body just barely alive enough to plug the webway gate. This is also comically, unimaginably torturous and painful, which is probably the main reason he doesn't communicate much in a comprehensible manner - after all, he's a completely regular guy, just with ludicrous psychic powers, and those can't really help with mitigating the pain of being beaten to death and tortured in every conceivable and inconceivable way at once - I mean, if you were jumped by 100 dudes and they were constantly beating the shit out of you, you wouldn't really be able to focus on talking to your friends much, no?
Hey Majorkill. Would you please make some lore videos on the Imperial Truth, the Imperial Creed, The Ecclesiarchy, and the High Lords of Terra? Thank you.
Bitch slapping Nurgle in his own House is my favourite Big E feat
The God Emperor protects 🔥
But having a loaded bolter never hurt either.
I think the moment that ork almost killed the emperor, it was clear that he could no longer split he power and attention to his webway project and expect to perform at his best.
Thus Ullanor
Abbadon's part of the alpha legion, that's why he's helped the imperium so much.
Bruh, imagine Abaddon about to strike the emperor on the throne and calmly says "I'm alpharius".
@@toms1313 the black legion just break into song and dance about being alpharius
4:17 thank you for the clarification lol
Damn. Still no Jordies colab... Do you want the 420k or not?
It is a mystery... Maybe he's secretly bruz' son... Would explain his fitness obsession
Dude is busy trying to topple the NSW government
Damn this didn't age well...
One month was all that dream lived for. Dammit Bruz and thugs
So, wait... if the only way to kill a perpetual is a shard of the Emperor's psychic might, but that shard is a part of Big E to begin with, would that even work on him?
The Emperor of Mankind: The Clapper of Cheeks
Video Idea: Got anything planned to coincide with the release of Darktide? Maybe a look at the Inquisition and how acolytes do their dirty work for them? Lots of material in the Dark Heresy RPG. Plus the Dan Abnett Eisenhorn and Ravenor books.
When the emps first met one of the primarchs (corvus corax iirc)
They recalled seeing a human so mundane that they couldn't remember a single detail. Meanwhile his entire army kneeled out of the psychic pression they felt and the primarchs immediately saw big E as a giant with blinding psychic ligth emanating from his form
Edit: even Corvus almost kneeled because of the splendor of his father aura but just barely resisted the urge to do so
I like the perpetual theory.
He has gained the knowledge over a thousand of years and witness the mistakes made.
He has his power because of the faith of his subjects, but how would he use it
I think the Ceasar analogy fits.
Who knows what those 2 intended?
but can he open the pickle jar?
I like to think the Emperor was made of 1,002 Souls.
1,000 Shamans.
1 Old One.
1 normal Human.
Possibly the Old One manipulating the Shamans to their decision but once inside the new Human, they all combined.
Can you explain whats the deal with Erda? I heard she is the Primarch mommy. I cant seem to find a definite answer.
PS: I really love your videos.
I made a video on here
@@majorkill ohh ok thanks.
Super video ! I wish you could make the same about primarchs ! Cause They have been longer Dead/absent, than present in the setting, and basic Spacemarines are still doing fine without them for around 10 000 years now. So like, okay you improove by replacing an spacemarine by a Primarch, but not that much it seems.
Sly Marbo can beat The Emperor
Tho he never would for he prayses him too much.
Majorkill you should make a vid disscusing your favorite hombrew spacemarine chapters you have come across
I like how if you’re enough of a badass the orks will respect you. I’m pretty sure orks barely even respect each other
I always loved how you describe how he revived Gulliman.
"He resurrected Gulliman, Called maltarian a bitch and sent a fuck you letter to Nurgle (Setting him on Fire)"
Such a funny quote
"How much can he deadlift?"
Now youre asking all the right questions.
Wana know more about cadia in general, after hearing the veteran talking nonstop about it in darktide. Got me interested
The moment he trips down those stairs the whole Imperium falls with him
I like the head cannon more: As Sanguinius and Conrad Curze did not see multiple futures, but only exact one which would be their destiny that... the Emperor has started with a basic knowledge about seeing the future. But now or in the future he gets so powerfull that he can impact the time. Making him doing the things he actually already did (cause time play is crazy) that exactly that planned future comes into reality. Boom! The Emperor Protects!
Video = 2-years later, and still nobody tells the tales of Warhammer better then you sir.
In the image at 5:12 why does he have an iron cross on the looker’s right shoulder plate 💀
The title card sounds like an ork question.
“Oy! De Empahrah!? Wot powers does e ‘ave?”
