um, no, emps is not a perpetual. the idea that emps is a perpetual is nothing more than that - an idea. there is zero factual, or even indicative, information about emps being a perpetual, and as far as i can tell the only basis for this idea is that vulkan's a perpetual, but the primarchs had/have attributes that emps didn't. sanguinius having wings is proof that the primarchs have things emps doesn't, and as such vulkan being a perpetual isn't any kind of evidence for emps being one.

and i'm not saying unequivocally that emps isn't a perpetual, just that the odds are about 1% he is and 99% he isn't. and 40k wont die without the imperium. emps will die, the imperium will die, a lot of people will die, a lot will be corrupted, but the human race will continue to fight and try to build and maintain empires. and though they will be mini-empires they are likely to be relatively formidable empires under the leadership of loyal primarchs.
