You know it’s a dark angels book when even the chaos sorcerer with the burning face is a “loyalist”.

[welp]

We already have confirmation that the dead Primarchs are alive within the warp. When Dante almost died on Baal during the Tyranid invasion he meets Sanguinious in the warp where Sanguinious calls him "Greatest Son" and sends him back to further serve the Imperium.

[fabulousimcatbulous]

Lion is truly Dorn's brother. The Fallen is Dark Angel that.. well... fallen, now what do you call the Fallen that trying to rise up again? Risen.

[trollman]

This is probably THE best thing to happen to him as he's basically immortal and his death will just result of him ressurecting and restoring his body back to pre-golden throne. It just a respawn button for him
Or just let Ciaphas Cain fiddle with the Golden Throne and he may find and press a button unknowingly made to restore the Big E back to full health

[seanread]

another issue the sorceror didnt seem to take into account: Emps being on the golden throne both lights the astronomicon AND contains the massive oppsie-poopsie warp rift Magnus made below the palace. If he is killed and removed from the throne, the astronomicon could well sputter out, isolating every system in the imperium and stranding every ship currently in the warp. Worse, the rift would explode outwards, basically becoming a second Eye of Terror (Eye of Terra?) that would rip out the heart of the imperium much as the Eye did with the Eldar.

[erih]

Spoiler for Cypher's new novel:
'Cypher, Lord of the Fallen' has also something about this topic.







When Cypher reaches the entrance to the Golden Throne room, he gets stopped by a Custodes who should be dead at this point, but is kept alive by an 'unknown' force. The guard tells Cypher to wait and the Fallen retreats. So that book hints very strongly at this theory, but also that the Emperor doesn't want it to happen now and that Cypher obeys his wish.

[CommissarMitch]

So Majorkill was right in the idea that each Primarch is a minor Warp god that Big E tied to a mortal body.

[UGNAvalon]

Dark Angel: “Help! I’ve fallen and I can’t get up!”
Asmodai: “REPEEE—“
Lion: “No, wait. Take my hand, son. And rise again.”
Dark Angel: 🥺😭

[MuvLuv]

He probably would join the The Great Game of Chaos and say "The Warp belongs to Humanity by birthright" as he proceed to smite other warp denizens, just like when the whole galaxy was said to belong to Humanity by birthright during the annihilations in the Great Crusade.

[PureElixir]

You have the voice of a geek, the rhythm of passion and the precision of a teacher. Great video.

[Marconius]

Here's an idea: what if the Emperor is trying to NOT resurrect? What if being a perpetual is actually getting in the way of his ascension to godhood? Maybe the Golden Throne was specifically designed to truly kill him, it's just taking a really long time... after all, it killed Malcador too!

[kccustodes]

I love the return of the Lion and GW has done some amazing crafting of lore. I still believe that Cypher is Alpharius because no space marine, not Dante, nor Lorgar, none of them could just disappear from Custody jail.

[MikeJones-wqpg]

I honestly haven't watched a video from Wes that wasn't of the highest quality and super fun and enjoyable.

Thanks for all the hard work Wes!

[ka-bar]

I think it would make sense that after 10, 000 years of feeding on the powers of all the sacrificed psykers at the golden throne that Big E could possibly resurrect instantly and that his powers would have grown to such a level that he can easily enter the warp to battle and defeat Chaos.

[kerosoldier]

As for primarchs being powerful souls...they were once powerful warp entities bound into human flesh. Corvus corax proved this when he can now transfrom into and giany crow-like being. He used this form to beat the ever-living hell out of lorgar and is one of the reasons why the word bearers primarch hasnt left his tower.

[Yeshuah]

It's super exciting to me seeing new lore being added since getting into w40k I really have to start reading the books.

[PelinalDidNothingWrong]

I really do subscribe to the theory that The Emperor is slowly becoming a Warp Entity through a mixture of humanity's collective faith in him and his own psychic might. I also believe Cypher is in on this hence his willingness to retreat from The Golden Throne room. I can see why some people aren't fans of these ideas though, but It's really interesting to think about; The Emperor becoming the very thing he denied

[ahmedshaharyarejaz]

Konrad Kurze still being loose in the Warp is a terrifying idea.

[TK]

In one of the new books which took place shortly after Cypher and Guillimen returned to Terra. The Dark Angels sent a suicide squad (since the Marines final job was to use a vortex grenade to remove all evidence, including themselves, of their infiltration when the time came) to kill Cypher an anyone else who go in their way, even Custodies. Cypher escaped this team and was going to use the Lion sword to kill the EoM. But a Custodies killed by Cypher on his way to the Golden Thrown, was resurrected by the EoM to give a message by the EoM for Cypher. The message was simply...not yet. Cypher upon hearing this, agreed and disappeared off Terra.

[Prattical]

I was always of the opinion that the moment the emperor becomes a fully incorporal being, he'd be ganked by the four chaos gods and destroyed or eatten so he could never oppose them again.
