If I remember right, there's a hint of Chaos hating the Emperor simply because he stole some power from them a long ass time ago. And that's part of why he's so powerful. I figured he was considered Anathema because he's a bullshittingly powerful psyker, similar to how the Grey Knights are, and has set himself on a mission to obliterate Chaos.

On a different note, why did the Eldar never create any Emperor-esque figures? Hell, they've been around a fuckton longer than humans, and they have metric shittons of souls lying around by this point to do it with. Far more powerful psychically than humans.If the Emperor was the result of a mere few hundred human druids, shamans, and psykers, shouldn't an entire Craftworld basically become able to punt Chaos Gods like Gretchins?

I'd assume because of the thing he did where he stole a shit ton of power from Chaos by bargaining with them only to betray them and take their power or something. That's how he reached such immense levels of power, in fact I suspect the whole 'shamans fused together to create me' story is bullshit concocted by the Emperor to deter people trying to investigate - his true past is likely some guy born during the Age of Strife who then got his powers and decided to conquer the shit out of the galaxy.

I would have to say if they prosecute the AI itself then companies cant be owned because that would be slavery.

I'd sincerely laugh at seeing a corporation civil rights movement pop up.

What happens to human souls when they die?

If they worship Chaos they get eaten by daemons.
If they worship the Emperor they get eaten by daemons.
If they worship nobody they get eaten by daemons.

Dang, we only have 300 Orks?
We got a long way to go.

Yeah, but each ork is their own supersoldier plus we've got an endless horde of gretchins and squigs we can drown the enemy with. In fact, we could probably attach some grenades to the squigs and have them charge into concentrations of enemies if we wanted to.

True - by common estimates a modern 9mm bullet wouldn't even penetrate an Ork's skin - but the most runty WAAAGHs in the 40k universe number in the millions of boyz, and only go up from there. I guess we have a while to go before we've unified the planet and such, but still, dang. It'll be a while before we're relevant to anything.

Meanwhile, nobody remembered I started 13th Age back up...

To be fair to me, I never played that in the first place.

I'd prefer to think the Tyranids are running from whatever Old Ones fled the galaxy and accidentally ended up in their direction...
But it's more likely that they're all just going into the galaxy because dat sweet sweet Astronomicon.

There's also the question of how Jorah swam across Slaver's Bay in armor with a sword on his belt carrying an unconscious Tyrion.
