So in my infinite wisdom – I rendered and uploaded this without realising I had "muted" my Space Marine Avatar. And have noticed… just now… at the time of writing this comment…
It was close enough where a lot of the Astartes were worried about what would happen to them when the war was over, because it looked like reasonably attainable goal at the time.
Khan is my favorite Primarch , he's got everything, he's a fuckin Steppe warrior, he's so good at fighting that Orks fear him, and best of all he's actually a rational guy but not in a downer or square sort of way.
There are three primarchs i want to return. Vulcan, Jaghatai khan, and Sanguinius. But out of the three, the most likely to return next is Jaghatai in my opinion.
I have not read this series so this is just a question. But doesnt the Khan's word directly conflict with the statement of "they are all dying or dead" statement? He said how many times has that been said insinuating that there is plenty that can still harm them, thus not all dying or dead. So it still leave the question wide open of how close was the imperium to total victory. Or am i just ignorantly misunderstanding based off very top level information.
The Necron's simply hadn't woken up yet, if they did and the GC provided some means of unifying their Dynasties, the Imperium was fucked, though the Emperor and Malcador might just make a truce with them to try and avoid that, because a war would be bad, bad news.
Always remember, the last enemy, comes from within. Unity dies with the threats of outside, peace ends with war, war starts with peace. Greed and pride is the nature of humanity. It is the fuel of their progress, and the match that brings their down fall. Hilarious, if you think about it. Hahahaha
I mean… considering the very age of sail nature of space travel and that planets like necromuda where a stones throw from terra and remained undiscovered for millenia.
Even if you take the high estimates of imperial colonisation the imperium ocupies only a fraction of the galaxy.
Sooo….they almost won and somehow the Xenos all scrapped back from nothing, or they mever put a real dent in and "near total victory" was just propaganda?
mainwhile, in 40k – Hello imperium, we are spacebug empire right next to terra, we do not have warp travel, but eventually we might… and we are very spooky.
the ork empire twice the size of Ullanor to the galactic west of sol enters the chat The dark city of Commorragh that harvests the defenceless humanity as a farmer with his crops The Craftworlders that couldn't care less about humanites little empire
The Khan Sounds like the Roman General who erased Carthage from existence who realised just like he erased an empire the same will come over his empire at some point.

The Scars audiobook I really good!

The answer: probably not that close. Their scouts are really not that amazing
Common Khan W
If only we got the Khan back instead of Roboute. 😢

The answer to the Kahn's questions: All of them.
I have not read this series so this is just a question.
But doesnt the Khan's word directly conflict with the statement of "they are all dying or dead" statement?

Even if they took over the planet they would still be able to destroy it

Emp forgot to set the victory year
The imperium has annihilated everything and only the xenos that can resist the mighty flaslight lasgun stand
To be fair, if they did win they wpuld then still have to fight Necrons and Tyranids which are probably the 2 scariest Xenos races for Humanity
Only one damned word – erebus.

That eldar running into the webway was running with exactly the same pose as Joseph Joestar when he used his special technique (running away)

“Who destroyed Prospero?”
They sound strangely Anglo for being Mongolians.
"Puny humies, ain't ya boys!?! Let's move gitz to get some lootz and crack some skullz! WAAAAAGH!!!"
– Ork Warboss probably.
Theyre all dead or dying… Nothing can harm us.
the ork empire twice the size of Ullanor to the galactic west of sol enters the chat
The dark city of Commorragh that harvests the defenceless humanity as a farmer with his crops
The Craftworlders that couldn't care less about humanites little empire
Yeaaaahhh… Victory… Sure…
The hrud alone were still around and could have been a major issue
so how close?
The Khan is one of the greatest of the Emperors sons. He showed success in silence, never bragging.
From first glance, he just seems like a mirror of Genghis. But when you dive deep, he is truly one of the best at what he does.
The Khan Sounds like the Roman General who erased Carthage from existence who realised just like he erased an empire the same will come over his empire at some point.
Crazy it only took 200 years.
Reminds me Scars is another book I need to reread.
I wonder what G-Man will think of Corax when he finds out he's haunting Lorgar.
