AW SHEIIT

Anyway, does that mean that, now that primarch minis are a thing again and the new space wolf wulfen aids thing going about, that THE END TIEM IS NEIGH?

The remaining primarchs taking to the field is one of the signs, yeah.
...oooooh.
I mean obviously I don't want anything like Fantasy end-times, because that was just... just bad.
But primarchs returning, that's some good shit.

Does this mean Robutt Gillyman will finally die/heal?
WORRY NOT.  I, CATO SECARIUS, WILL HANDLE EVERYTHING!
The God Emperor of Ultramar is going to weather this juuust fine.  Hell I'd place a long bet on him incorporating the True Emperor.

ITEHTTSD is canon now
I know the wonderful youtube series but I don't understand what you mean, unless it's generic "END TIIIIIIIIMES, THE EMPEROR AWAKETH"

The current plot arch seems to be tending towards some sort of End Times scenario: there's the very minor Mechanicus/Blood Angels/Cypher/Giant Speaker world storyline, there's also the slow return of the Primarchs, starting with Magnus, then Vulkan (after the Ultra-Smurfs found the Salamander's artifacts), then Leman Russ (albeit in the warp), then Rogal Dorn, and, finally, the recent... conversion of a certain character by a certain other character.

Basically, tension's building, and shit's going to go down.

Corvus has also appeared, but he's still stuck inside Vulkan's Honda coffin.

I'm, uh...sure we'll have an episode where Vulkan teaches everyone the true meaning of friendship and tries to find out who's occupying his alleged grave car soon enough.

Uh.
That all sounds like ITEHTTSD stuff.
Just to clarify, are you saying that that's happening in WH40k canon?  Because my understanding is that very little happens there :P
I eagerly hope that you're saying ITEHTTSD was referencing said significant advances in actual canon.

Rogal was technically first.

Also we know the Ultrasmurfs are going to try and hunt down Jaghatai Khan, and Leman Russ is heading to Terra as fast as he physically can (incidentally every single serious one-on-one scene between the Inquisitor and Leman Russ is incredibly terrifying).

I swear though, if the Emperor is more powerful than the chaos gods.

I mean heck he should be, at the most, as powerful as one of them.

Oh speaking of TTSD, I'm predicting officially now that Karamazov being cast into the Warp believing he was Emperor was actually Emperor's plan all along since his self-belief will be so strong that it draws all the various shards of Emperor soul into him (supported by the golden eye flash thing he does in the season 3 theme song), which are then reunited with throne emperor when Karamazov and Russ get back to the throne room.

Yeah, they're doing a good job at showing Leman has a serious and dangerous edge to him when not distracted by Wolf things. I'd say he's the most evil of the loyalists.

Assuming Rogal's story can be trusted, the actions of the Emperor fragments are kind of concerning. Discounting Karamazov, we've seen two: The one tormented by Tzeentch desperately trying to get Throne Emperor to exterminate the Tau before it's too late, and one who appeared after Rogal's Magic Pain Glove Adventure had been going strong for a week to get him to accept the Codex Astartes. And then there's Karamazov. Honestly, I'm not sure which of the three is worst.

I personally think that emps was just being his usual unthinking asshole self, and that it'll came back to bite him when Russ gets back.

That could be, but the established fact that Kitten's adventure with Magnus was actually part of his plan makes me suspect otherwise.

Yeah, they're doing a good job at showing Leman has a serious and dangerous edge to him when not distracted by Wolf things. I'd say he's the most evil of the loyalists.

And then there's Karamazov. Honestly, I'm not sure which of the three is worst.
Of course, this doesn't necessarily mean that Karamazov is actually a fragment of the Emperor now, just that his fervent belief that he is the Emperor will eventually grant him abilities like that of the Emperor, which will make Russ believe his stories, and thus cause a belief cycle that makes him actually the Emperor, except possibly evil and the main villain somehow since he forms a separate entity and throne emperor has to fight off his attempts to usurp the imperium and make it into even more of an asshole place than it already is.

Just calling it in advance is all.
