What Is Each Faction's Opinion of the God Emperor Of Mankind? | Warhammer 40k Lore



Most Xeno factions look upon mankind with disgust or with a condecending attitude. But how do they feel about the God Emperor of Mankind?

  1. I'm kind of sad you didn't mention the Blood Pact and their outlook on the emperor as a chaos group. Quoting from the wiki:

    "The Blood Pact's adherents, like their allies among the Sons of Sek, possess an unusual view of Chaos theology. They do not hate the Emperor as an enemy of Chaos, but venerate him as another embodiment of the Warp.

    They believe the Emperor to be simply another Warp entity like a Daemon or the Chaos Gods themselves. They see Him as a misguided prophet for Humanity who has seen the power of the Warp but who mislead His followers into believing that it should be opposed.

    The Blood Pact and their allies believe that it is the holy task of their cults to spread the truth about the God-Emperor and the Warp and to bring the people of the Imperium back into the fold of worship of the powers of Chaos, because in truth they are already venerating a creature of the Warp.

    For these cultists, the Emperor is already akin to the entities they worship, for He, too, is powered by the Warp and has been changed by his contact with the Immaterium. For these cultists, the Emperor is actually a symbol of what they aspire to, as they wish to become one with the Warp and be forever changed by this communion.

    Thus, in their belief system, the "schism" of mistaken faith embraced by the Imperium must be healed and Humanity brought back into the embrace of Chaos. They hold that the Imperium does not need to be destroyed, but only reformed so that it understands the true nature of the Warp and its inhabitants.

    In this view, the Imperial Creed has led the people of the Imperium down the wrong path for millennia, and the Blood Pact and their allies believe that they are engaged in a war to defeat its gatekeepers so they can teach Humanity the truth of the enlightenment that Chaos offers — and that they have already been worshipping without realizing it."

  3. Good video, but it's not racism. That's like saying lions are racist against hyenas, or coyotes are racist against wolves.

    In 40k it's not even speciesist, because they don't even exist on the same tree of life… probably. It's beyond kingdomist. It's true xenophobia, it's alienist.

  4. One of my favorite theories in WH40K is since the Orks believe the Emperor is a warrior god, they are actually helping to keep him alive. Their belief bolsters his life force just enough to where he doesn’t die full on.

  5. I have read that the Tyranid's are capable of an intense hatred when someone is actually able to hurt them badly enough to get their attention. It was directed at an Eldar ship captain and it scared her so badly she decided to turn her ship around and help the humans fight off the tyranids rather than leave them to their fate.

  6. Instead of Races, maybe go by factions?
    Imperium is 4 factions, Chaos is 4, Eldar are 3-4 by now.
    Each of can have drastically different views on every topic.
    Also, why no mentions of the Squats?

  7. As far chaos: Chaos winning is it's own death.
    If chaos "wins", there will be nothing more sentient then Ork. Nothing will fuel the warp. Chaos would die.
    So actually the emperor fighting them is good for then. And Tzeench is certainly going to use him.
