I have once again dabbled into my warhammer 40k materials, as we as review all the posts since my last appearance.
Firstly, I will start with Baron Von Spikey, I do not claim to know more then you, I am but a humble warhammer 40k reader who has read and played for quite some time. From the white dwarf articles, to the even older printings of warhammer 40k, simply known as the dustbacks.
I'm not an actual German Baron, there is no '
Von' in my name (yes my username is based on my real name).
Plus I wasn't suggesting that you'd said you knew more than me- I was just outright saying that I
know more than you, that might sound arrogant but screw it it's true.
Now moving on....the void I have never claimed to be a dimension like the warp....the warp in and of itself is not a dimension, it simply is a frequency present at all times everywhere...it just takes the proper radio to pick it up and channel it effeciently...psykers.
The Warp is a dimension, a separate reality divorced from this one- imagine a sandwich, the various 'real' realities are the bread with the warp the filling that separates them- not a great analogy but I'm not sure what you'd do to a more complex one.
A pariah does channel the void, in that they use the very absence of that frequency that is normally everywhere...to alter reality.
They don't alter reality, the very absence they project prevents the alteration of reality- that's the whole point!
Now the outsider according to ancient eldar text states in their songs the outsider is trapped in a sphere which speculate could be the halo stars or ghoul stars region. Now similar to how the void dragon whispered out of its prison and called for an avatar, which ferus manus answered to its deceitful whispers, and such as why he went to mars after the drop site massacre...so too did the outsider whisper to konrad.....
It was the outsider who lured konrad through a shared "madnes" with him, away from the veil of sanity and reality...pulling him to stage his assasination....and come to its prison...so konrad could become the avatar of the outsider.
A fine idea about the Halo/Ghoul stars idea if the location of the Dyson Sphere where the Outsider is trapped wasn't stated in Codex: Necrons.
Ferrus Manus died, head cut clean off- the Iron Hands don't believe he was taken to Mars, they don't have his body but then again every IH at Isstvan V was killed so you wouldn't expect them to. Before you spout your 'Imperial POV' bullshit again- it wasn't, leave it at that.
As for the black pariah dying by a ship....I meant to convey that it was that ship being crashed that set into motion of events that directly lead to his death.
What a way to back pedal, the reason for the Emperor's death was that he was born- see I can do the same thing as you as well.
To answer the question...regarding malice....their is strong allusion that the chaos entity now known as malice wwas the prior fifth chaos medium known as malal...chaos turned upon chaos......
However due to a untimely seperation of "political" parties....the rights of "malal" were in question....thus malice was born.
The guy who made Malal had the copyright for him and GW didn't- that's not exactly a secret that Malice is GW's attempt to make a version of Malal they can actually use- I think that's the only completely correct thing you've said in this mammoth thread.
Bit of advice for you Lux- these books that you read about 40k? Try getting them in a language you can understand.
