steroids as well as an entire pharmacopia of chemicals, and insane genetic modifications :P

i too have wondered at emps' true stature. when stood next to primarchs he seems to dwarf them with his presence. yet throughout our (current) history he hasn't stood out and i'd think a 14-foot dude would have stood out by now :P

but then there's his psychic might - unparalleled. he maybe hasn't stood out because he 'dampens' people's perceptions of him, or he just causes everyone he meets to forget him when he's gone. but on the flip side - he is maybe just a normal statured guy, but when he actively exudes his psychic aura, this aura is what everyone senses. so when he is the emperor of mankind he has no reason to hide his psychic aura and when stood next to anyone he seems to be a giant of a man.
