Lol. When I said, "I'm pretty sure I read in a few places that Khaine shared parts of his essence with both Khorne and Slaanesh" I wasn't talking about materials related to the Lord of the Rings. I was talking about materials related to Warhammer 40k. warhammer40k.wikia.com, lexicanicum, the Necron codex, etc.

As for what would happen if The Emperor were to battle Khorne... THE SHAPE OF THE NIGHTMARE TO COME offered up a scenario that I doubt very many people ever thought of, but which fits perfectly and is basically what I think "now."

(I won't dare say what it is though. It's simply too amazing of a "surprise" to recount second-hand.)

BUT... Before reading the story, I suppose what I envisioned was fairly typical of Warhammer 40k fans. While the Emperor's true power is somewhat limited in real-space by virtue of him being confined to the body of a man, the power of his spirit is far, far greater. Ergo, were the Emperor's spirit to combat Khorne, he would either trash him outright using his Psyker abilities, or, he would be represented by a form in the Immaterium that was reminiscent of the Emperor's human likeness, but which was the size of a skyscraper. Thus, even in a physical contest (or, what would appear to be a physical contest in the Warp), he would readily defeat Khorne.
