The thing of it is, we don't know? Big E, as you love to call him, is atypical for starters! His mind has been evolving for more than 40,000 years! Considering the changes in understandings and knowledge that grow within a person just living human lifespan, multiply that by 400? We don't have a bloody clue what is going on in his skull even if he was whole his mind would be this massive unbelievable entity, literally godlike! His body will be like the wick of a gigantic candle flame. His understanding and knowledge is quite frankly beyond human comprehension! He could stand up reclothe himself in flesh and armour, forge himself a copy of the sword he gave Gulliman out of dusty air, lay his hand on the golden throne to repair it in its entirety. Then, march out of the throne room to the web way portal to open it but seal it so nothing he doesn't approve of can get in, no matter how they bang on the walls. Summon Kitten back from the dead to command his Custodes (without those three Greased up morons) once more, step out of Eternitys Gate to meet his sons which he has teleported back from all points of the galaxy. The loyal ones will be rewarded, the disloyal ones will have their cheeks clapped in such a way that their Demon god will feel it! Before he cleanse all chaos influence from them. 'I have returned to see my imperium besieged, my sons scattered to the four winds, chaos rampant, an invasion of insects into my Galaxy...this will not do, this will not do at all!' While the galaxy gets over its sphincter tightening shock, he gets to work!

Ideal Good 40k ending: The emperor returns, and speaks with the silent king and the eldar leaders. They work together to get rid of the orks, chaos and the tyranids, and possibly the dark eldar as well. Once the galaxy is cleansed the 3 empires agree to share some of their tech and aid one another. Humans and eldar help the necrons return to flesh and blood, the eldar are given many planets back and humanity stops its aggressive nature since it is no longer under constant threat. The 3 factions eventually manage to reach not only peace but coexistence, with the Tau possibly joining some time later.

The Tau don't engage in glorious melee combat, he would despise them.

[@thefallencog]

He would most likely see the Tau as an interesting pet race. Something to keep in mind is that the Tau are unironically the closest thing humanity was to the golden age of technology, they just lack the creativity and also ironically suffer the political issues Mankind currently suffers from, which harshly limits their progress of technology. The emperor would most likely see the Tau as his greatest, and possibly only chance to restart Humanities golden age of technology, the mechanicus are capable builders, but what they've constructed over the Millennia are nowhere near as impressive as what the Tau has managed to construct in their little corner of the universe. And keep in mind too, these guys built all that with a massive resource and information handicap being locked behind a warp storm. The silent king (and by extension the Necrons) technology could be theoretically pillaged and reverse engineered by the Mechanicus. But it would take an unimaginably long amount of time, and would probably remind the Emperor of the age of iron. So at best, it would be significantly sanctioned and heavily monitored progress by the emperor himself. At worst, it would be thrown in the trash compactor and never even considered. The emperor would definitely ally with the Tau, and Parley with the Necrons. But the Tau are more of a boon to the Emperors original aims for humanity, so while Humanity might hate Xenos. the Tau are a race the emperor and by extension Roboute would happily accept. Afaik Roboute has even thrown around a time or two in lore that Humanity should consider an alliance with the Tau. Or at least remain on friendly terms.

The buff they are hinting at with Humanity is the Mechanicus messing around and "improving" on gene seed, as well as the Mechanicus as a whole being allowed a bit more openly by Roboute to commit tech heresy as long as it furthers the goals of Humanity, or better arms the space marines. the emperor becoming more active is more a side effect of humanity not getting the tech heresy buff yet, and GW writing themselves into a corner.

If he were to be resurrected, I think there would be a big arc about reuniting Big E on the warp and Big E on the golden throne I think the reason why he did not want to be resurrected has to be something to do with his essence (compassion) that he throw away to the warp to fight Horus The faith humanity have on Big E may gets accumulated into his essence that he throw away into the warp instead of Big E on the throne, and current lackluster help by the Emperor is a communication between these two souls are sometimes ineffective, Big E on the warp wants to help people (since he is compassion) by sending the legion of the damned or living saints but Big E on the throne is intelligible, and resurrecting the one on the throne without the one on the warp not only would make him more cold and ruthless but also he would not get all that accumulated power And + Blackstone would be the key to win this whole bloody thing, and I feel that if the emperor were to be resurrected, this would be his main primary research Humanity can still fight without the warp, but other than the necrons, other factions are absolutely f'd, orks, eldar, chaos, and tyranids, heavily relies on the warp As for the Tau? one fart is enough with Big E back in the settings

[@randomdan1648]

As a one shot story, i love the idea of a chosen of Tzeench orchestrating a complicated plot to bring back Big E using a seperate entity to power the Throne while it removes the Emperor. It does this because the chosen believes this version of the Emperor will royally screw with the Imperium while they all kneel and watch. Skip ahead to it doing so, the Emperor, slowly emerging from his throne while the metal of his armour scratches and bends across the halls with great volume. He takes his first lungful of air in millennia, a long exhale leaves his old lungs with the feint sight of blue smoke from the remaining souls of the psykers. He fixes his gaze on the Tzeench Abomination, as it laughs from its victory! Its laughter is cut short, as the abomination glows with a beautiful golden light, before vanishing!? It happens so fast, any on-lookers are blinded momentarily or permanently dependending on their strength. All that remains of the abomination, is dust and shadow. The Emperor takes his first, mighty step. It shakes the very room and craters the floor beneath his sole. He stops, and gazes ahead at his direction. From this point in the story, Guilliman is in the room in suprise and horror of what he is seeing before him. The Emperor, lowering his jaw to speak for the 1st time in millenia, utters the words directly to Guilliman. "Son....Hope....Traitor.....Kneel..." Guilliman, taking every word to his soul, slowly kneels before his father, his Emperor. The Emperor takes another step, then another, and another. When he reaches Guilliman, he stares ahead as he orders his son, to "Rise". Guilliman stands by his Father, his breath heavy and his eyes never leaving the face of the one person he never imagined he would speak to again. The Emperor holds his gaze before him, staring off seemingly into an oblivious void of nothingness. A moment passes, and the Emperor raises his right hand, lifting his right finger, and narrowing his sight. He utters a single word. "Burn". In the distance, a faint glimmer could be seen with a naked eye. One could confuse it for a star, but doubts simmered the hearts of spectators, as Guilliman stared off in complete terror. For at this moment, only Guilliman knew what lied in that direction. Only Guilliman understood the monster that now stands before him..Only Guilliman accepted, that the imperium was doomed... The Emperor, had destroyed several planets harbouring life, Xeno or Human, in one continuous direction of Golden, Perfect flame. Reducing these planets not just to debris or dust, but atomized into nothing. Guilliman only had one thought burning its way around his mind at this very catastrophe..."Brothers...forgive me"

Some of the examples are would he really want to close the rift? sure it fked the imperium over and gives chaos god more influence but its also stated that it was a massive power boost for the emperor as well, would he want to destroy the church or not ? only reason he forbid everyone from worship is because denying gods would weaken chaos but at this point it may be too late so he might as well take the power up for himself, another potentional thing is maybe imperium will finally ally some xenos races like eldar, tau or them totally not dwarves since noone else in the imperium can really do it without getting called a fkin heretic and starting a civil war

[@poodlescone9700]

TTS Emperor: The Ultramarines rammed their battleship into what!? Did they know how much that ship costs!? The Ecclisarchy made everyone worship me as a God when I told them not to!? The Inquisition nearly destroyed the Imperium on several occasions!? The Tau do not engage in melee!? Warp storms ensures.

[@georgeblair3894]

(This is a tad long) My personal opinion is that the Emperor HAS to come back. Three reasons why: 1) The game, lore wise is a bit stagnant right now. 2) Doing so would allow GW to sell new models (we know how they love that) and second push for more stories, 3) Finally, it was here or another channel where Guilliman realized the Imperium had 500 years (at best) and 200 years (at worst) before the combined enemies consumed them (Spiritually or physically) In other words, you either rip the bandaid off NOW, or do so as a last resort. There is nothing that says the Emperor can't multi-task. Activate Alpha Legion, summon Leman Russ from {wherever}, work with the Eldar to fix the Infinity Gate (in exchange for dealing with the Drukkhari), make a deal with the Silent King to stymy the 'Nids (*) (seriously are their fleets on cruise control?), hand Chaos their lunch, forge a temporary truce with the Orks and deal with Angron, etc., etc. (*) These guys are the turd in the punchbowl.

[@britishpalmtree9268]

I feel, what with the reveal of the dark king, that the emperor feels if he resurrected or perished (to regenerate) that it would birth the dark king into being. Also perhaps why the emperor wanted the talisman of hammers to blow him up, as it would unleash the dark king against chaos.... And everything else

Day 84 of asking for a dedicated series of videos detailing in depth the Lion El'Heresy

[@amanofnoreputation2164]

The revival of the Emperor is very eschatological in that, the fact that he's a corpse on the Golden Throne is practically the premise of the entire setting. The writers wanted a God Emperor. They wanted male Fish Speakers. Everything else was just elaborate set dressing for why these things are out in the galaxy kicking ass, burning witches, and hating that which they don't understand in a bitter and never-ending struggle for survival. So far beyond any serious in-context considerations on _how_ exactly the Emperor could come back or what the ramifications would be, it would be an effect that would completely change the nature of 40K. One way or the other, everything we know and love about the franchise as it is would come to an end. Functionally, the end of a world. It is literally equivalent to the Book of Revelation; a series of event so surreal and apocalyptic that they defy description. An ontological "here be dragons." A future so dysfunctional and unfathomable God himself throws up his hands and calls it a wrap on existance itself -- because wtf is supposed to follow all that shit up? "Hell freezing over," doesn't even come close to cutting it. The series could continue, sure. Nominally. But, like I said, it would not be the same series anymore. Even if that's ultimately for the best. We'd need to pull an Age of Sigmar to go any further. As for what would actually happen if the Emperor came back . . . well GW would probably go the route of making it look like something Big E had planned the whole time in order to counter Chaos' trump card as an imminent threat to the continued existence of humanity. A trump card they would necessarily need to pull out of their trans-dimensional buttcrack because it's the only threat momentuous enough to actually warrent Big E getting up off the Throne. (Other factions like the Tyranids and Necrons are _capable_ of doing this, but it woudn't be appropriate thematically.) All in all, this would in no way resemble the return of Guilliman because, as stated, this would all be part of one of Big E's galaxy brain prescient spice vision contingencies. So he'd be prepared in advance for the sorry state of humanity and be completely composed about what to do. Even the Horus Heresy coud be unveiled as an elaborate gambit to get Chaos to play directly into Big E's hand. Beyond that, it's hard to say and would mostly come down to what GW atctually wants to do with this particular plot point. It would be a high not to end the franchise itself on if they figured out something cool, but it could also act as a reset button for the lore or to change the directin of 40K to a franchise that is in fact _centred_ around it's lore rather than a table-top game: the ultmate strategen for reimagining 40K for a new generation.

I'm pretty sure the emperor would not be happy when he sees some of the changes that was made to the imperium. There are some things that would even piss him off. But if you look at it from a different perspective, this could serve as the greatest morale booster the Imperium desperately needs. The soldiers of the Imperium of man would fight harder and more ferociously on all fronts with so much morale and vigor, that it could even turn the tide of an entire War

I honestly believe the emperor died shortly after his internment. And, then being an absolute baller, became a warp god, but due to his stature in the warp, prior broken deals with said entities, and the astartes refusal to warship him as the god emperor he is, the other warp gods are actively fighting the emperor in the warp and making it impossible for him to make his presence known to humanity. Or the orks are simply not allowing him to die
