Emperor Of Mankind - Tumblr Posts
The tragic vibes this image alone is releasing is moving me to tears...
'Had I my time again, and freedom from fate’s chains to act, I would never have become Konrad Curze. Konrad Curze was a betrayer. An unbeliever. A lunatic, but worst of all, father, Konrad Curze was weak. Night Haunter was strong.'
Emperor and Erda. Did this one for Valentine's day and finally decided to post on my old Tumblr acc~

My Take on Warhammer 40k Or A Potential Original Work inspired by 40k
Part 1: Setting up the Game Board
DISCLAIMER:What you are about to read is a radically different take on Warhammer 40k which will most likely be its own thing, so I ask do not take it seriously a Warhammer AU fanfic,for that case consider this a concept made out of boredom and faith, but should you take it seriously, see it rather a prototype of an original work with its influences as placeholders.
Plus this contains Christian theology ala Tolkien and Lewis in terms of world building. Its not complete and not perfect so pardon me if I don't touch on things like the Orks or The Old Ones.
Thank you for Reading.
While overall I'm not that into Warhammer 40k, there are things among it I do like such as space elves, space gods, space church, space demons, blocky armored human super soldiers. So I kinda want to do my take on the Warhammer 40k universe which will be its own thing(which I have notes on). Most of my inspiration comes from Tolkien's Lengendarium and CS Lewis' Ransom Trilogy/Space Trilogy(which terminology from both works will be borrowed) combined with the theology of my Catholic faith.
When coming up with these sorts things, I always ask myself questions such as
"What do you want from this? Why from this? And what's the merits of this?"
Which then I turned to CS Lewis on how he came up with ideas such as Narnia which he asked himself a speculative question, so I did so myself;
"Supposed 40k had more clear lines of Good and Evil ala Lord of The Rings and existed in a Christian Theological setting and Man, Eldar, and Tau were the big good and the three were created by God in his image; what would all of this put together look like?"
So let's start with my take on The Warp
The Warp itself is a gigantic cosmic ley line between the Materium and what would be referred to in CS Lewis's Space Trilogy as "Deep Heaven" where the triune supreme deity of this universe, whom we will call for the sake of this AU Triad, wells with his heavenly legions.
Triad is known as one Deity in Three Persons;
The Emperor-Of-All-That-Is(Aka Eru Iluvatar, The Old One, or The Father)
The Celestial King(Aka Urendi Maleldil, The Young One, or The Son)
and The Breath of Life(Aka The Flame Imperishable, The Third One, or The Spirit)
In this theology, the Gods in Warhammer akin to Valar of Tolkien's Middle Earth or Oyéresu and lesser warp enties akin to Maiar or Eldila who are assigned to guide and watch over mortal species and planets, the most unique being the pantheon of Powers amongst the humans, Eldar, and Tau.
Now in this beginning, there was the War In The Heavens started by the 5th Chaos God, who's vaguely implied to be Satan/Lucifer, hell for the sake of what little 40k this resembles, lets dub him Malal/Malice
Who The Eldar know as Morgoth formerly Melkor
and The Tau know as The Bent One formerly The Shinning One
and his four elite subordinates
Slaanesh who we know as Asmodeus on our planet
Nurgle who we know as Beezlebub on our planet
Tzeentch or who we know as Leviathan
and Khorne who known to be some kind of malicious demon of wrath(haven't come up with who)
and all of them were driven back and confined to certain planets
Nurgle and Slaanesh and their repsective legions were confined to the home planet of of the Aeldari
Khorne and Tzeentch and their minions were bound T'au the planet
and Malal was bound to Terra with his legions with a far greater seal.
However the planets they were bound to were home of three species that were all of the "Imago Dei", The Aeldari, Tau, and Humans respectively, the humans being the youngest
So 5 "gods" plotted to corrupt these species and use them as a means to spread their influence throughout the Galaxy and beyond when they become able of space travel.
One by one these three races fell, Malal tempted the first parents of Man first, then Tzeentch and Khorne temped the first parents of Tau, and finally Slaanesh and Nurgle tempted the Aeldari.
But Triad has plans for these races and did not intend to leave the galaxy to suffer, these plans began with the redemption of these three species
But as the Fall started through Adam’s race, the redemption had to also begin through Adam’s race.
So for the sake of each world and each life, The Celestial King came to Terra and became a Son of Adam.
From there he carried out a great task that rippled across the cosmos, and not only redeemed the children of Adam and Eve, but made them fully warp and fully matter, just as The Celestial King became Fully God and Fully Man. Which I will go into detail in part 2 with The Emperor of Mankind, the human race and their role in this AU.
After this, the newly ascended King departed for the Aeldari and Tau planets where his mere arrival redeemed the two races.
With things set into motion, The Celestial King departed back to his father in The Heavens.
History of the three races transpired, and accumulated in the Age of Strife where The God-Chosen Monarchs arose to bring order to their respective races and come together to conquer and civilize the Galaxy.
Coming soon in Part 2: Man, Eldar, and T’au: Three species of One Image
Scribble idea!!! Emps goes to hug Sanguinius and of course Sang is highly suspicious but accepts bc he doesn't want to get redacted and when E doesn't let him go, Horus sneaks in and pets his wings while Sang tries to escape like a wet cat
What do you think would the sons ask their father if he allowed them all one wish? Like literally anything except his throne and what would his reaction be to the wishes?
That’s hard but let’s try:
Lion El'Johnson :
Would probably ask for a second chance to kick Konrad’s ass. Litterally. The Emperor will not allow him to do so.
Fulgrim:
He would ask for the super-ultra-mega-secret formula for perfect hair that just the Emperor knows. Fabulous Emp however would not tell him.
Perturabo
He would ask for another opportunity to kick Dorn’s butt with some building challenges. Emperor would gladly accept his request but will let Dorn win. Dorn builds everything in pure gold. Emp loves gold.
The Khan:
Probably would ask for some faster bikes. The Emperor is not pleased but would allow it.
Leman:
A wolfie girlfriend maybe? A female version of his Wulfen. Top Emp is not pleased with this, so he will refuse to do it.
Leman then will ask for banishing all the psykers in the universe. Unfortunately, his rune priests will be gone too.
Dorn:
Does he even have wishes?
Konrad:
Probably he would like to end his suffering, he would stop seeing the future but that’s ok. Very probably Emps is an asshole and would not fulfill his wish.
Maybe he would ask for being able to going out during the day without burning his skin.
Sanguinius:
He is perfect. He doesn’t need anything else.
But very probably he would ask for a cure for his sons. Emps is still an asshole but if he would not fulfill his desire every single humans or xenos will hate him. He will agree to his request.
Ferrus Manus:
He would ask something regarding Fulgrim.
The Emperor will allow that.
I’m not going to tell you Ferrus’s wish.
Angron:
To break free from his nails. Emp is an asshole and would probably refuse. Angron is angry.
Guilliman:
I bet he would ask to spend some time in intimacy with his Eldar gf. The Emperor is not pleased by this, but will allow it anyway.
Mortarion:
A shower.
Top Emp is pleased by this.
Magnus:
We all know he would ask for all the knowledge in the universe. Emp would not fulfill his wish.
So Magnus would change his request with a cure for his sons’s curse.
Horus:
There is a thing he wants to do. A thing. A very particular thing. The Emperor will absolutely allow it and help him.
While the Emperor firmly holds Sanguinius, Horus would touch his wings and feathers.
Sanguinius never allowed Horus to touch them.
Lorgar:
Lorgar: Father I would like-
Emperor: No.
Vulkan:
He would ask for more arms or a bigger body to hug everyone.
The Emp is pleased and will fulfill his wish.
Corvus:
He wants a castle full of crows. The Emperor will allow that but will call a psychiatrist for his son.
Alpharius:
Emperor: *Looks right*
Emperor: *Looks left*
Emperor: Who is Alpharius?
"He asked then what no other primarch had given voice to. Even Angron, upon his discovery, would act without asking the question Sanguinius now asked.
‘What if I refuse?’
The Emperor seemed to weigh this. ‘You will not refuse. I know your soul. Here, you’ve saved tens of thousands of lives. With me, you will save billions of lives on millions of worlds. You will save the life of every human yet to be born. That is not something you could turn your back on.’
They stared into each other’s eyes, father and son, creator and created. Neither argued against the truth of the Emperor’s words."
Alternatively titled "Sanguinius can see the fuckin future and it didn't take much to get him on E's side."
The Emperor has slutty hips, long eyelashes and a pretty mouth of course EC are twinks what are you talking about
If any warhammer legion actually looked like twinks it would probably be either the Dark Angels, Blood Angels, or Alpha Legion
