And then it all makes sense

He got decapitated by a Demon Sword while he was fighting his brother while using his extremely oversized hammer axe.

It's why he had to make a deal with Chaos to make them in the first place. He had the power but, didn't know how

What fucking revisionist lore is that

That lore bit is actually still debated to this day

Only later does the Big E truly understand Chaos but, by the time he's powerful enough, he lacks the will to kill Horus

Revisionist? Son, my books and models go back to 1985

Star child ring a fucking bell

Star Child is a gay fucking 2001 rip

Deadass ferrus had arms that have metal impervious to Damage. Still doesn’t block with them

Star child's foundation is in 2nd edition

With hints in 1st

Thanks to the ever expansive gaping hole of the Black Library, that's a bit of contested lore

They were legit Necrodermis

Only after BL went "it's all propaganda."

Not just any NEcrodermis, like fully functional, no degradation, from a C'Tan body Necrodermis

Before that it was solid for nearly two decades

He did go and meet with the Chaos Gods but the contested bit was why he went to meet with them.

Also it's dumber than shit

It's supposed to be an illusion as a deal with the devil, he specifically fucks them over

That means the Big E had no idea what genes are

The thing is, he's on their level so it's retarded he went there

It's not genes

It's the warp

That also means all SM are demon babies

I assumed the deal was he would unite humanity then let chaos have fun

It's the same as LOTD being the Big E's daemons because people willing him into a god after he fell

Except the LOTD is helpful

There's the info of he met with them so they would give him the ability to create his children.
There's the info of he met with them so they wouldn't fuck with his children.
And there's the info of he met with them to literally tell them to fuck off and that he was going to kill them.

I like the last option because it's amusing

Yeah, well they're daemons of order

So ofc they're helpful

Until Slaanesh was birthed, the warp wasn't all just chaos god niggardry

Also don’t forget that 30k Chaos is the weakest sauce

"hey fucktards, i'm going to literally murderfuck your faces to death"

It was helpful spirits too, the war in heaven also fucked with that

Remember, the necrons are responsible as well for half of the setting being fucked

I know the lore

They laid the stepping stones for the chaos gods

I KNOW THE DEEP LORE

>Not knowing the E could stop a titan but, deep lore
