This is what the Chaos Gods are "born of." i.e. In addition the warp has its own laws (or lack there of) regarding physics and all the other rules of natural order. which is trippy considering that time has no meaning there. The warp is an alternate dimension existing concurrently to our own. Though humanity is doomed against Chaos, the added threat of xenos (including the more massive Tyranid threat on its way) and corruption from within mean humanity will be so busy that it will never even get to try and defeat Chaos one on one.The Chaos Gods have, and will continue, to intervene when there is a threat against them.Humanity is so far behind in the race for control that we never had a chance.The Chaos Gods are not governed by rules like we are.and ultimately this ignorance fouls up the final part of the Emperor's grand plan to liberate humanity from Chaos' grasp.

but his tools for the crusade are corrupted via their ignorance of the Emperor's true plan (because he trusted no one with a full knowledge of Chaos).and then retires to build human control of the webway,.Emperor uses chaos to gain power (Primarchs),.The Chaos Gods genuinely feared his plan and while you can say the Golden Throne's defeat was inevitable, I think it's fair to say that Chaos pulled out all the stops to stall the final capstone on the Emperor's master plan. But this growing empire, like the Primarchs and everything else he created per-Heresy, was so that the Emperor could put his final plan into place. Sure, he wanted to establish the Imperium and stretch mankind's dominance across the stars. I think what's being lost in this question is that the Emperor's plan wasn't just the Great Crusade. Their subsequent extermination from the gene pool would leave mankind nearly impervious to Chaos' common vectors into the material universe. Control of the webway would allowed instantaneous travel across the galaxy and would have made psykers (astropaths and telepaths) redundant. If Magnus had not destroyed his work in the webway, the Emperor would have effectively eliminated humanity's dependence on the warp. They may be feeding the very power they are fighting, but what else are they to do? Just give up and accept the inevitable? That is not the nature of mankind. Things like bloodshed, lust, curiosity and decay give shape to that power and make humans vulnerable to it, but without contact with the warp, they would not be an existential peril, and mankind could develop its Psyker talents without the fear and threat of Chaos.Īlas, the Webway project failed due to the treason of Horus, and the mortal wounds the Emperor sustained have basically forced the Empire of Man to improvise and constantly fight for survival ever since, often resorting to desperate and self-destructive measures. This would starve the Chaos Gods because the Warp is their home and the true source of their power. The grand plan was to build a human-controlled Webway, a means of interstellar travel that does not require entering the Warp. What plan exactly are you talking about here? It sounds like you think the Emperor's plan was simply to conquer the galaxy and overcome all enemies, including the Chaos Gods, by force.
