Game Workshop kicks off the new edition of Warhammer 40,000 with an epic video. One of the highlights: for the first time, the Emperor is seen in person. However, he is not the only “big player” to make an appearance.
Finally, there are official images of the Emperor in a trailer that many fans are calling the best yet. In just under 4 minutes, Games Workshop shows how grim the world of Warhammer 40,000 truly is and why there is “no peace among the stars.”
But although most people’s eyes are on the Emperor of Mankind and his eerily moving eye, some users on Reddit point out something that others may have missed.
Near the end of the video, the four gods of Chaos can also be seen, but not alone. In quick snippets, other figures appear, some of whom you may have never heard of.
Games Workshop reveals images of “unknown” Warp entities for the first time
While the images are only briefly visible, they can be fairly well categorized with some interpretation. In addition to Khorne, Tzeentch, Slaanesh, and Nurgle, the following can be seen:
- Gorkamorka, the connection of the two Ork gods Gork and Mork
- the Hive Mind of the Tyranids, even though the individual bug creatures themselves have no Warp presence
- Asuryan, Vaul, Ynnead, or Khaine, the supposedly long-lost gods of the dying folk of Aeldari – according to a user on Reddit, due to the rune, it is probably Ynnead
- possibly even T’au’va, the projection of the Greater Good of the T’au
The creators do not confirm who the figures in the brief snippets are. Even the images of the Emperor are just “what people imagine” and do not necessarily reflect reality.
However, this makes some sense, as the Warp is the projection of feelings and thoughts. Accordingly, some scenes are seen that likely do not depict gods, but rather significant events from history.
What do you think is going on with the Chaos gods? Did you find more details in the trailer? Feel free to leave us a comment!
Just like with the Emperor himself, it is unclear how the entities truly look and in what state they are – that is the whole idea of the Warp. However, it will be exciting that the Emperor is equated with them: The new head of the Imperium in Warhammer 40,000 questions whether the Emperor is a god, when he should know better
