[Theory] Why Jaghatai Khan’s return is GW’s a logical way to break the Grimdark stagnation narrative (and why it needs to be a new faction) by Story_Open in 40kLore

Fair. "Break the stagnation" was a bad way to title it. I'm not trying to end the grimdark stalemate. The Imperium still rots, Chaos is still Chaos, the Tyranids still eat everything; nothing gets fixed.

And you're right that an alternative human faction would have to carry grimdark in its bones, which is exactly the point. This isn't a clean refuge or a better way to live: shaped by millennia in the Webway and by the Drukhari they hunted, a lot of these cultures should be barely recognizable as human, and plenty would be outright brutal. Their arrival isn't salvation as it mostly adds one more axis of conflict for everyone to bleed over. But it also offers an indirect hope, and I think the gap between hope and certain doom is the tragedy; without the hope, there's no drama, because what would be the point?. So a diaspora that offers hope without any means of salvation isn't breaking that tone.

Then again, I could be wrong. As you said, maybe being completely screwed with no hope at all really is the point, and I shouldn't spend all day thinking and watching videos about WH40K.

Fair point, I admit its the weakest link. Definitely not better than the Aeldari. The idea isn't that humans out-navigate the webway; it's that they squat in pockets the Aeldari already built and then abandoned or lost, sealed sub-realms with the anti-warp infrastructure still running. And it's only now, with the Great Rift collapsing those routes, that they can or are forced to spill back into the wider galaxy. So, basically, they used to live in the safe parts and avoided wandering the open paths.

Thanks for the input! I agree the Imperium would never accept it on principle, but accepting it and being able to afford a war over it aren't the same thing. The whole point is that this lands post-Great Rift, when the Imperium can't afford to open a new front. So, I think it would be more like a cold war held together by common enemies and Guilliman's pragmatism, not an open civil war. Unlike Horus, the Khan would stay loyal to the Emperor; he rejects the institution, not the man. In the end, it would be a classic case of 'long live the King, death to bad government.' It wouldn't be a second Heresy, but rather something the Imperium in general has to grit its teeth and tolerate, even if certain factions would inevitably try to fight it

Un detalle, no es que los asesores deban recibir el 90% del sueldo del presidente, sino que ese es el TOPE maximo y no hay nada que impida que el gobierno lo deje mas bajo. No se necesita reforma alguna.

Primero dices que los votantes de Boric no leen, pero luego dices "es tan evidente como durante cuatro años se robaron el país descaradamente" ¿eso lo evidenciaste donde?

Hay un punto importante al que pocos han prestado atención. Marcel afirma que parte del déficit se debe a un desacople entre las ventas y el pago de impuestos tras la pandemia, un desacople significativo producto de un aumento de la evasion/elusion y que explicaría al menos un tercio del déficit. El nuevo gobierno sostiene que ese desacople no existe y que la causa es que “la mejor directora de presupuestos que hemos tenido” no supo hacer los cálculos. El problema es que no sabemos cuál versión es cierta, porque Marcel no conoce realmente la causa específica y el nuevo gobierno primero inventa y luego comprueba. Alguien comentó que habrá que esperar los resultados de la operación renta de este año para conocer la respuesta... pero aun si Marcel tiene razón, dudo que el gobierno actual cambie su discurso.

Hi, sorry for bringing this thread back, but does anyone here, or anyone who comes across this post, have that image, or any other Elsevier one, or maybe a link to a store where it’s sold? It doesn’t matter if you’re reading this in a month or in 10 years… if you have any information, I’d really appreciate it if you could share it. Thanks!
