He was repairing a Broken webway the entrance of which was located under the golden throne, it was onyl abandonded because Magnus fucked up the psychic defences of the reconstruction site. Also through his actions, the Mechanicus was created.
The Golden Throne was originally created to provide mankind access to the Webway, and the Emperor planned to use the mostly abandoned Webway to give humanity nearly instantaneous access to anywhere in the galaxy they wanted to travel - he sent technicians through (who only stayed alive and got anywhere due to the Emperor's power) to build equivalent Webway gates at other points in the galaxy, aiming to connect his own little Webway to the Eldar's main one - due to his inability to create a material which could sustain contact with the Webway and not disappear itself, he designed the Golden Throne as a focus by which he would open the entire Webway to mankind. That's right. The Emperor could hold open rifts in space/time with his mind alone.
[QUOTE=Ixius;17680860]The Emperor, by way of the Golden Throne, powers the Empyrean, which Imperium ships use to travel faster-than-light at all. On top of that, the Emperor apparently keeps Chaos from becoming too powerful by his mere existence. You're asking me why a god of [i]Chaos[/i], renowned for killing his own greater daemons when he gets bored, would hesitate to use one demi-god to damage another? Horus was killed by the Emperor, but not before Horus (fueled by the Ruinious Powers working in tandem) was able to wound him. Simply, really, it's because the Emperor is stronger than Chaos. The only thing that was able to defeat the Emperor, in the end, was something that was partly Him. And it took the intervention of four motherfucking gods to even touch Him, and the Emperor is still alive even after the entirety of the Warp tried to attack and destroy Him, all at the same time. Put even more simply, the Emperor of Mankind is the greatest badass known to anything, anyone or anywhere.[/QUOTE] I see what you did there, calling the God-Emperor He every time.
Capitalising the personal pronoun is a necessity if we are to stay true to the fluff.
Magnus: I need to warn the Emperor of Horus' betrayal! I could just send him an astropathic message which would still get there before Horus, or i could try and use this here sorcery the Emperor told me to stop using and could cause potential damage... Hmmm.... I think i'll go with the direct Sorcery! The Emperor:Finally! We're in the webway, now to just connect these tunnels... *Webway rips, Daemon flood though*. DAMN IT MAGNUS! What have i told you about sorcery! Russ! Go bring Magnus here so i can show him what he did!
Argh I still need to read Ravenor put those spoilers in spoiler tags! Well anyway. I agree this movie needs Imperial Guard to make this movie awesome. There are so many books on Space Marines but very few on Imperial Guard (there are a few like Imperial Guard volume1 & 2 and last chancers). But I guess because Imperial Guard are generally expendable whereas a space marine last longer.
I think it's hypoctirical, telling Magnus to stop using his sorcerous powers, all the while still using his own, douche.

Iron Hands/Fists are the coolest space marines in my opinion. Ultramarines are okay but Iron Hands have cybernetic hands which are awesome. They also just replace any broken bones with cybernetics and they experiment more with biological enhancements that every Space Marine has to get. I just think that's fucking badass. Plus they have just plain black and white armor.

To make sure Horus didn't come back to stir up shit, the Emperor unleashed an attack so great it not only mortally wounded himself but obliterated Horus's soul from the warp.

The Emprah is like MC Hammer The Warp can't touch it
[QUOTE=Billiam;17680575]But there is no victorious side either...[/QUOTE] Yes there is, it's called da orks.

The Emperor is just lazy IMO... Why don't he go there and kick their chaotic buttes?
[QUOTE=mastermaul;17682122]Yes there is, it's called da orks.[/QUOTE] Orks never lose, the way they give off spores and all that shit makes it virtually impossible to irradicate them, you just have to find a way to control their population and their rebellions.

[QUOTE=darkrei9n;17682530]Orkz don't lose because they don't surrender. If you kill them all they keep fighting till the last one.

Plus they also release spores for gobbos/squigs/fungus which is all they need to sustain themselves.

If I may bring some first hand experience to this discussion... I personally spoke to several of the main designers at Games Workshop about 1 and a half years ago, directly about this subject. The reason being that I was doing a 40K Animation for my final project at University, and John Blanche (Im pretty sure he was with GW since the very beginning) lives in my town, so he offered to take me into the design studio for some inspiration. I wont get side tracked but fuck, that place is so awesome. I got to see all the top secret model sculptures and so forth. Anyway, over a beer in the on-location dwarf themed pub (yes its epic) I spoke with John, a production manager whose name I cant remember and the guy who invented the Eldar, whose name I also cant remember (He was awesome). They said pretty much what had been stated in the first post, that they had been pestered for years about movie deals and so forth, but they always turned it down mainly for these issues of Intellectual Property. I cant remember exactly what was said now but it was something to do with how the value of the intellectual property of Warhammer etc was what kept it afloat, and that the license for a film such as this would be very complex. They seemed almost reluctant to have warhammer commited to the big screen on the grounds that it would be exactly that....a film. Perhaps they want to keep it "in house" as much as possible and not ruin the value of Warhammer with something like a movie that could easily dissapoint many people or they way they perceive the warhammer universe. I mean....John was advising me on the Horus Heresy campaign and how to present it in my animation (Bearing in mind I had a 2-4 minute total length, and the Heresy is a story of huge proportions). I asked him of specifics and his attitude was "Do it however you want, dont follow anything we did. Make it up for yourself".

Where the hell Orkz get weapons, anyway? What, do they grow with them?

(They paint their trukks red because 'red goes fasta' but it actually does because they believe it)

To make sure Horus didn't come back to stir up shit, the Emperor unleashed an attack so great it not only mortally wounded himself but obliterated Horus's soul from the warp.[/QUOTE] OK then. Horus isn't dead. He just doesn't have a body or a soul. :colbert: Just to clarify, his body was destroyed, his soul was destroyed, and he was "utterly raped". I'd consider that necrophilia, as Horus is most definitely dead. [QUOTE=Uberman77883;17682850]Then why correct the correct?[/QUOTE] Linguistically, he is correct. "Intensive purposes" is merely a corruption of the original (and logical) "intents and purposes" caused by people mishearing or not caring enough to pay attention.
