The new codex for the Grey Knights is out, and it tells the Terminus Decree. I read about this right before the License to Buy a Pizza thread, so all I could see was Orks. Apparently the decree says that if the Emperor stands up from his throne, is reincarnated, or ascends to godhood, the grey knights must stop this. There's hints that the emperor is already reborn against his will, and doesn't even know what or who he is yet. So a new story is building up.
I haven't found any news about it, only YouTubers and random reddit threads. This is coming at the same time that Space Marines are no longer male.
I guess I should mention this is WarHammer 40k stuff.
It likely has something to do with the emperor becoming the 5th chaos god. I think that's alluded to in the last 3 Siege of Terra books. Obviously he doesn't become one, but it's there if I recall right. I just read lore posts. Who has time for 50 plus books.
If the books weren't so melodramatic I'd read them. Lol. People have said good things about Eisenhorn though so I might take a crack at that sometime.
The Commissar Cain series is one I can recommend. More humor than normal for 40k, it feels like a mix of Horatio Hornblower and Blackadder.
Eisenhorn was good in the 00s, because it was the first well written novel that showed the Imperium outside of war. IMO they don't stand the test of time.
Commissar Cain novels are much better books and fun to read.
Also recently 'Assassinorum Kingmaker' and 'The Infinite and The Divine' are better.
i've read eisenhorn. I think dan abnet is overrated
Eugh. Eisenhorn was a slog for me to get through, despite being the one book people talk about as a good intro for 40K.
I enjoyed the Forge of Mars series alot more, personally.
Yeah, I just watch YouTubers and read articles. There is no way I could read all the books needed.
What aspect of chaos would even be his domain? Laws and order?
"The Chaos god of Order" is a perfect concept for a universe where a guy waving a sword from the hatch of his tank is taken completely seriously, you can't have anybody winking at the camera though.
At least to me, it isnt a completely outlandish concept. After all, order taken to 1984 degrees can absolutely be chaotic as people can not possibly live up to the standard set.
