    God-Emperor (mostly dead sitting on a cybernetic throne preserving his life, requires like 100 psychics a day to feed on to live) wants to spread his Religious-no-religion religion across the cosmos, and the brutality with which is required is a small price to pay for industry.

    And then they choose to like the guy unironically. But if they’re really into Slaneesh then they just get a special brand of weird.

      requires like 100 psychics a day

      1,000 per day. Every day. For Ten. Thousand. Years.

      So you know, just a drop in the bucket, no big deal.

      And to be fairrrrrrr… The emperor himself wants no religion at all, and it’s the corrupt and zealous officials that spread the “the emperor is a god” thing, he straight up destroyed a planet because a chapter of marines converted it to Emperorism once. That was before he got stuck on his death throne, obviously.

      Anyone who genuinely admires ANY of the factions in 40k just doesn’t understand it.

      They all suck. There are no good guys. Honestly I’d say the closest thing to good guys there are would be the tyanids, because they’re just doing what tyanids do. You don’t get mad at cows for being cows. Or wolves for being wolves. They are what they are and they do what they do. It isn’t malicious intent.

        All praise be to Omnissiah. May his leadership and grace guide you to the one true path. Give yourself to him and become one.
