@ Hereticalthoughts - To describe the Emperor as a 'super primarch' is absolutely ludicrous and shows little understanding of 40k lore. The Emperor in his physical form was vastly more powerful than any of his sons. This is a fact.

Also, your theory on Orks also doesn't carry much weight. It's extremely unlikely that an Ork could ever match a Primarch let alone kill one. And the notion of an Ork killing the Emperor doesn't even merit a response.

To be blunt, I don't take the word of a nameless AWC very seriously in general, but I'll respond.

"The Emperor in his physical form was vastly more powerful than any of his sons"

"To describe the Emperor as a 'super primarch' is absolutely ludicrous and shows little understanding of 40k lore"

Pick one. Primarchs can be considered lesser versions/clones of the Emperor to a degree, essentially they are/were to him what greater daemons are to the Chaos gods. Thus, I called him essentially a super primarch in terms of his capabilities as a mortal, because he could do any of the things a primarch could, just on a greater scale.

Oh, and about that "shows little understanding of 40k lore" remark? I'd like to ask who you think you are (especially given that again, you're a nameless AWC) to make a judgement call like that because you disagreed with something I said. Especially given that you have one post to go off of. I've been a fan of Warhammer40k for a good three to four years now, Warhammer Fantasy has been my favorite franchise from GW for almost six. Do not talk down to me like I'm some idiot who doesn't know about the lore.

On the idea of Orks killing a Primarch or the Emperor: Hence why I said "Theoretically" and not that it was absolute. It's theoretically possible for an Ork to become strong enough to kill a Primarch if they win enough battles, due to the WAAAGH! increasing their size and strength in proportion to how many fights they win and how much recognition they have gained. This is why Ghazghkull is much more powerful and bigger than the standard Ork (on top of his mechanical enhancements). Thus, it is possible that there could be an Ork powerful enough to take a Primarch on in single combat if it was powered enough by the WAAAAGH!, same with the Emperor in his Pre-Golden Throne form. Apologies, I guess my post was pretty harsh. In my defence there are a lot of people throughout the threads who really do have almost no understanding of 40k lore or have read a single HH book. For instance those calling into question the loyalty of the Lion and his legion when they are factually loyal or the idiots who have decided the Emperor 'got his powers' from chaos, again despite the facts to the contrary.

You make a good point on the Orks and how they can grow in power and I understand what you mean now by describing the Emperor as a 'super Primarch'. Comparing it to the Chaos Gods and greater demons makes sense.

And you're correct, I really should create an account on here as I'm pretty active, just laziness. Anyway apologies again if I offended.
