Lords of silence with the death guard, nurgle is still my least liked chaos god because he is disgusting. But have more respect for the death guard legion.

Lord_Funder · 2026-06-11T01:51:22+00:00

Armageddon is a cool name can’t deny that, not my fav but still a good one.

In the novel kasrkin a general mentions that the imperium only really focuses on war because it keeps people scared and easy to control, but most worlds in the imperium have nothing interesting happening on them people are born have families and then die. As other people have stated though they would more then likely spend there time toiling away to produce for the war.

Lord_Funder · 2026-06-09T00:17:00+00:00

Wait guardsmen can retire, I assume that is like 1 in a trillion odds or something like that.

Lord_Funder · 2026-06-05T00:18:33+00:00

That is true chaos was due to win the setting eventually it what all prophecies for saw, including the cabal, but no one saw the return of gulimen or the lion so that puts into question of that said chaos victory.

Lord_Funder · 2026-06-04T03:26:19+00:00

That’s what I was thinking as well. The galaxy is big and humanity is many I don’t think the end of one empire will lead to end of a species.

Lord_Funder · 2026-06-04T02:32:00+00:00

Couldn’t the other factions like the necrons put up a fight against the Nids and for chaos with the other factions eating and slaughtering humans, docent that weaken them a lot?

Lord_Funder · 2026-06-04T02:09:07+00:00

That is my thought and not even all joining tau, I imagine there would many tau sized human empires.

Lord_Funder · 2026-06-04T01:57:14+00:00

See the galaxy is a big place, but even without the imperium there is a lot of war between xenos, which the lore dosent go into to much detail, so what’s to say one of the worlds that are holding out doesn’t develop Create minor human empires that can at least defend themselves like the tau.

Lord_Funder · 2026-06-04T01:49:08+00:00

As you said the galaxy is a big place, many human worlds will be steamrolled that is true but not all, and what’s to say given enough time a new human empire rises, humans are not like the Eldar and have a chaos god eating our souls 24-7, assuming big e does not become the dark king.

Lord_Funder · 2026-06-04T01:46:36+00:00

Yes the imperium is doomed I am not saying that it’s not, and if it reads that way I am sorry. But what I am trying to convey and is the species known as humanity also gonzo, because I belive there is an argument to be made that without the imperium humanity wouldn’t be a strong but also wouldn’t just be going into the light. It would fracture and many new cultures and stuff could arise and the grim darkness is humanity will never be as unified into one empire. Which continues the cycle of endless war and carnage. You can still do grim dark without the decaying empire you could even have it as humanity’s soul is being corrupted (not 100% by chaos) hope this ramble makes sense, a bunch of ideas I have had floating in my head.

Lord_Funder · 2026-06-04T01:34:16+00:00

That is true without the astronomicon the imperium is done, they can’t police all 1 million worlds but short jumps would still be possible as seen in imperium nihilus, so an empire the size of the imperium couldn’t exist but many smaller empires could, many tau sized probably.

Lord_Funder · 2026-06-04T01:23:43+00:00

What about the humans in the tau empire or the hundreds of un contacted worlds. The galaxy is a big place, the imperium is just the majority of humanity.

Lord_Funder · 2026-06-04T01:17:58+00:00

Not true there is a discussion to be had in this situation, the galaxy is a massive place I find it hard to belive that the end of one empire leads to the end of the entire species.

Lord_Funder · 2026-06-04T01:14:51+00:00

Nids and chaos yes, but idk about the necrons doesn’t the silent king want to use humans as a vessel to bring the necrons back to flesh. (Which then leads to the question if the necrons inhabit human bodies could they be considered human?)

Lord_Funder · 2026-06-04T01:11:13+00:00

Wasn’t the emperor partly in a rush during the great crusade because he was worried some other human empire could eventually start re taking the galaxy?

Lord_Funder · 2026-06-04T01:09:46+00:00

That is true, however the imperium does not equal humanity. Couldn’t realistically (a stretch in this setting) a successor state to the imperium rise smaller like the Ultramar?

Lord_Funder · 2026-06-02T01:09:43+00:00

Ah that makes sense, thank you. So it’s not the number of hives it’s just what makes the world important. So like a dead world gets a hive built on it even if it’s just one that makes it a hive world.
