So wait, in the end, Lorgar got what he wanted? The Emperor is now worshipped as a god, and definitely has a Warp presence to match, what's stopping Lorgar from just putting some robes and sunglasses on to hide who he is and just hanging out on some agri-world somewhere as the local preacher?
Lorgar seethes so hard it creates a disruption in the Warp
But it worked.
Yes. He just happens to be in the other camp now and hates that he was right.
So ironically the default religion of his people that he went through all that trouble to deny in search of monotheism is now correct to him all along, huh.
He got what he wanted long after he changed his mind and wanted something else.
>Lorgar got what he wanted?
Yes he was right, it's his superpower.
>what's stopping Lorgar from
He is a little bit scared about the crows in the agri-world, somenthing isn't right about them.
Pic rel.
He wasn't right at the time of his claims and he's still wrong since he now claims the warp parasites are one true gods.
Lorgar is generally a fricking moron, but all in all, he seems content with what he has now.
Lorgar spends his time running away from Corax.
Lorgar did nothing wrong.
He did everything wrong. Lorgar is the one instance where the Emperor did nothing wrong.
This. The Imperial Truth was no secret to Lorgar, he just chose to believe that he was above it. The fact that Monarchia happened at all tells me that it was the only way to make him fricking listen. Lorgar blames the Emperor for not reprimanding him earlier on Colchis, but I'm inclined to think that he's full of shit. This is the same guy who said "only the truly divine would deny their divinity", which suggests that he was in fact told to stop. Maybe the Emperor thought he would grow out of it, and so didn't push the issue as hard, but when it started impacting the speed of the crusade, something needed to be done. He would have gotten over it eventually, perhaps finding meaning in compassion for those more frightened and vulnerable than he could ever be. Instead, he goes to suckle the teat of Daddy Chaos to get his meaning from there. Frick him. He chose to be a monster, and deserves nothing but torment.
Yup. There's even a scene in one novel where a WB marine who's been stuck in the Eye of Terror from shortly after the Heresy sees the current state of the Imperium and starts uncontrollably laughing when he realized that Lorgar won. He and the Word Bearers may have lost everything in the process, but they won.
Imagine being so obnoxious in your devotion, you literally force your object of worship to become a god against his will just to get rid of you.
Lorgar is super special boy, I'll give him that.
The only thing missing is the return of Word Bearers back to faith in the Emperor like nothing happened with shit-eating fricking grins.
I wish GW had the balls to do it.
There's a WB captured in Calth by the UM that repented and became one of the founders of the Imperial cult. He's still alive as a dreadnought in 40k: the Anchorite
the particular marine in question was with the Emperor's Children before joining/helping to found the black legion, though.
>what's stopping Lorgar from just putting some robes and sunglasses on to hide who he is and just hanging out on some agri-world somewhere as the local preacher?
There's a giant demon bird lurking in his tower so he has to stay locked up in the bedroom or get ripped to shreds.
Lorgar is the stupidest primarch. He unironically worships extradimensional alien animals as god. He's a joke.
I once read that the Black Templars think of the Razing of Monarchia as a test of Lorgar's faith that he failed. I hope that's cannon.
That's definitely not canon. Monarchia was destroyed for being a monument to the cruelty and evil of Lorgar and his insane sycophants. The Word Bearere would rather abuse humans into this perverse and illegal worship of a good man, than simply do the job they were given. Cowards, traitors, black guards, and the Black Templars are right there with them.
What is Lorgar up to these days?
Getting his ass beat by Corax.
