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.
I'd be fine with that.
I’m neutral leaning to disliking it. It’s a solid progression for most stories but it defeats the grim dark aspect for 40k. It goes from humankind is only staying alive by the skin of their teeth to an even fight where it’s god vs god.
It doesn’t have to be. Didn’t Warhammer Fantasy had plenty of gods for the various races and factions that were powerful and relevant, but ultimately unable to match up evenly to the Chaos Gods?
