40 Years of Warhammer Artwork - Tom and Ben Reminiscing

[@CheefIndian]

They could've just put only John Blanche artwork in that list and no one would've complained. Everything from him is just perfection. My favorite is the wacky scale pyramid leading up to the Emperor, the more you look at it the more epic it gets.

To be fair the Big E vs Horus artworks they hated on - altough not that great make more sense as book covers which they are.

Seriously, the emperor just wanted to get rid of all religion and superstition so he could establish his own without competition

[@JohnDJ08]

You don’t know that, if you paid attention you’d know that is clearly wrong. The Emperor literally punished lorgar for his worship which inevitably led to his own demise, if the Emperor wanted to be worshipped and become a god he wouldn’t of cared about being worshipped. This is the exact misconception the traitors made, they thought he was a hypocrite and just wanted to become a god. It’s dumb though because why teach everyone to hate something that he knowingly will become as then everyone around him will hate him. Just look at guilliman.

@ what strikes me as odd is that many others (Astartes as well as puny mortals) realized early on that the human brain is not capable of abandoning religion. How is the emperor, beloved by all, the most brilliant mind ever known, not capable of making this deduction? He should have known that an immortal superhuman being with sheer endless power would eventually be worshiped by the simple people. I agree that this still doesn’t mean that he intentionally followed this course but I also doubt he was so naive to think that this would just work. Especially when even a Primarch would fall for religion, how would he expect mortals being able to resist?

​@@That__Guy Big E spent too much time on reddit and was blinded by his own turbo-atheism

@ the internet is kinda like a real life warp

​@@That__GuyHe's incredibly out of touch with how humanity works, like how he chose to treat Lorgar and Angron in such a way that they'd obviously be driven to betray him
