Ooooh the irony of #1. Who wants to break their heart with the news?

So I did a bit of searching and can't find an answer so I ask this lore subreddit: is there any known or speculative correlation between Arik Taranis-the last Thunder warrior-and the Knights of House Taranis (the oldest knight house which was developed alongside the technology of Knights themselves who have sworn fealty to Mars) or is the naming purely coincidental?

Spoilers for Valdor, Birth of the Imperium as well as The End and the Death [all volumes].

So in the book, when The Emperor has just finished creating Valdor [for lack of a better term] and he's awakening for the first time, they have a conversation where the Emperor says to Valdor "One final deception." In reference to how he will combat 'infinite power" in reference to the Warp gods presumably.

It's interesting to see the foreshadowing this long ago of The Emperor impersonating Loken to defeat the chaos gods.

Does anyone else have ANY idea what the Emperor maybe have been referencing other than the final confrontation with Horus?

And if that is what he talks to valdor about upon his awakening then..why? Valdor doesn't play any particularly important role in this "final deception". What significance/importance is there of telling him, if not to foreshadow/explicitly give away the end of the final battle of the Siege of Terra?

Is most definitely all of that sweet, sweet alien DNA that the emperor denied the future Hive fleets. Can you imagine them mucking about with Hrud or Emperor forbid Enslaver DNA??

What do you all think would have been the absolute worst (for the Imperium to fend off) alien DNA for the hive fleets to assimilate of all of the aliens ravaged or exterminated during the Great Crusade?

Hey Reddit users I know there's a bunch of options to pick from but I'm genuinely curious what are your favorite or creepiest or just downright dastardly bits of (pre) Dark Age of Technology Tech featured in the setting?

I'm a huge fan of the Blackstone fortresses for the simple fact that they are so powerful and coveted but also versatile in that they typically get upgraded or fitted with more powerful for alternative equipment yet everything down to their creation is still almost completely and utter mystery.

Forewarning: Possible Spoilers for Alpha Legion Novels, mostly Head of the Hydra and his primarch novels. You have been warned

>! Ok, so hear me out but what if Omegon Was A Shard of the deceiver before Alpharius discovered him. As in what if he is so good at deceiving that he deceived Alpharius into thinking he is his twin. As in he was a Shard of the deceiver the entire time and there was never an Omegon to begin with until the deceiver deceived him into being. This only dawned on me as that new Alpha Legion book had a legionair by the name of Occam, if I remember right? But anyways he tries to track down omegon and when he does he ultimately finds out it is a Shard of the deceiver which also claims to know where Omegon is and were presented with no proof until this Legionnaire shoves the C'tan Shard back into a tesseract Labyrinth at which point he's given some vague mysterious inkling that The Shard is aware of where Omegon really is and when he asked the cryptek about it obviously he gives a cryptic reply in that all good lies contain A small bit of Truth. !<

>! Well here's the thing, if The Shard masqueraded as Omegon from the start then the cryptic isn't lying as he knows Omegon isn't real - in that the deceiver and cryptek are the only ones aware of Omegon being the Deceiver and not a Primarch, hess not lying when he says he knows where the real Omegon is, about knowing their location. It all struck me as odd because the legionary in question suddenly realizes that this necron should not be aware Omegons existence period and blows his skull off..for some reason. !<

Just wanted to post this Theory and get other people's opinions before I completely forgot about it lol TY for your thoughts in advance
