40k is great but being in it would suck unless you were an extremely special and lucky individual who is hard to corrupt and in a position of power with not so many imperial, mechanicus or ecclesiastical rules.

Go out to depots and chase up discrepancies with a little detective work, while keeping a friendly relationship with farmers. Avoid being executed if I make a mistake because I'll die of natural causes by the time it's picked up. Travel to far off farmsteads in seas of rolling green with beautiful clean air and hard-working folk. Get to have a family and live a fairly well off life in a non-hive city. Spend my free time working my own small garden, playing with my kids, and teaching them how to work within the Administratum so they can have a blessed life too. Finally retire and use my connections to get my kids their first job in an Administratum career. Die knowing I lived a life worth living in a universe of inconsequential sacrifice and unending terror.

I wouldn't survive a week without falling to Slaanesh or getting purged by the Inquisition.
I am too weak for the Guard and too meek for an Inquisitor.
Everything else is either soulless, brainwashed from the get-go or doomed to a painful death and/or torture for all eternity.

I wish to be a Perpetual on the smallest and most insignificant backwater world of the Ultramar Sector. Just let me cower in relative peace and philosophize over how small and insifnificant i am in this unthinkably huge galaxy that's constantly at war and where unspeakable terrors loom both in life and in death.

Why would i ever want to live in a crapsack setting like Warhammer 40k.

Navigator.

I have a stable job from which I can't get fired, the lives of tens of thousands of people depend on me, even if they dislike me I'll be treated with respect to my face, I'll be pretty rich even in a poor house by 40k standards and I get to do nifty things.
When not flying in the warp I have time for any hobbies I feel like doing.

They don't mutate, they are born that way. So the problem is not staying sane, it's being born without warp vision fucking your mind.
Also, some navigators don't have any visible mutation besides thrid eye, and usually you don't need to hide until you join the elders or become a heir apparent.

No one will remember us now and we may never be buried beneath Titan, so we will build our own memorial here. The Chapter might lose us and the Imperium might never know we existed, but the Enemy - the Enemy will know. The Enemy will remember. We will hurt it so badly that it will never forget us until the stars burn out and the Emperor vanquishes it at the end of time. When Chaos is dying, its last thought will be of us. That is our memorial - carved into the heart of Chaos. We cannot lose, Grey Knights. We have already won."

or
>some form of post-human sentient AI hive mind on a bumblefuck planet preforming an endless series of mysterious, but tedious tasks

I'm thinking Nercon. Either Lychguard or Cryptech.

Having the most high-tech instruments for use in study and research while defeating those races that would stop us with the same tech? Sounds fun to me.

Also being able to travel faster than light without the use of the warp or having to deal with the arrogance of the Eldar is music to my ears.

It seems to me that most of /tg/ seems to think that the skills requirements of the job will somehow be gifted to them at the same time as the authority. Most of us lack the necessary quick wittedness to survive as a rogue trader, or the immense savant intelligence of the tech priest. Also, they lack both the general deviousness of mind and the purity of spirit to succeed as the heretic or the pious.
The anons that are the most correct probably are the ones going for space marine. Because all those abilities are gifted to you and all you need is supernatural mental endurance of the horrors of war.
Added to that you have the immense risk and rewards of being a psyker. Everyone seems to experience the risk, but very few experience the reward.

So, my choice would probably be to become a space marine librarian. Probably for a noblebright chapter so i dont have to do psychotic things. I think the Dark Angels will do, as they are one of my favourites. Plus, the primarch is alive!

Truthfully I'd like to be an Eldar ranger travelling the stars, though if I wanted something more tragic and dark I'd like to be a Kabalite trueborn that ends up as a Dracon in an influential kabal.

But the idea of being an Eldar ranger sounds like the most romantic and adventurous things in 40K. All the exotic planets you could visit, the ancient civilizations to explore, the noble goal of returning to your Craftworld when it calls you home, exploring the reaches of realspace and the Webway as you take in the galaxy. Sure, there's a lot of fighting, but there'd also be a lot of downtime to relax on a remote planet watching an alien sun set, longrifle cradled in one arm and helmet off to feel the rays on your face.

I'd like to be an Eldar ranger, yeah.

I'd want to live as a Champion of Slaanesh.

It is literally the complete opposite of the life I live. I choose not to do any sort of drugs, nor do I drink alcohol, simply because of the influence it had on me in my childhood. If I lived in the 40k universe, though, I'd go balls out with it simply because Slaanesh would reward me doing so. He would amp up the experience to actually be worth it.

Not just that, though. Since I am a writer and a bit of a narcissist, he/she/it would reward me with gifts that I'd actually WANT. Sexually, aesthetically, and artistically he/she/it would help me strive to the utmost, and break it.

I'd love to be a techpriest.
I was born a weak mutant, and I'd kill for the chance to replace my weak flesh with the armaments of the machine god.
Also you'd almost never go a day without learning something new(Like the internet except instead of other people's opinions on shit it's replaced with cool forgotten calculations and blueprints).

Either that or an ork. I'd make a great ork.

No finer an existence than a daemon in Slaanesh's service!

Not only are you nearly immortal and tough to put down, but your entire existence revolves around pain, pleasure, and every wacky deed in between.

honestly seems the best path

>>46975277
This. I'd totally be a techpriestess over any other life in 40k, it's relatively safer than a lot of other ones, and the AdMech are cool, imo.

>>46976979
I laughed at this, no joke.
Though, being a Phaerekh would be pretty cool as well, I suppose.

I'd be the Emperor.

Until he gets reborn that is.

>>46982793

If the Emperor is a perpetual, couldn't he be saved just by smashing the throne?

>>46984375
>>46984412
No no.

The Beast series showed that the Chaos Gods are circling Terra waiting for the Emperor to die. When he dies, they will grab his soul and tear it apart.

>>46984493

I feel like there is probably alternate canon fluff that clashes with that.

>>46984493
Chaos is so deadly dull.

I'd be either a Deathwing Knight, Interrogator Chaplain or Necron Overlord, maaaybe a Cryptek.

I think being a Chap would just be fkn amazing, inducing your fellow battle brethren into righteous furiosity while smacking traitor marines into submission with my massive fucking golden pimp-mace.

Being a necron again is just too good a deal not to mention all the little warriors, immortals, scarabs & wraiths willing to expunge all life in the galaxy for you, the whole immortality thing is sweet as hell too

He can't be reborn if there is no reality.

>>46984493
It totally doesn't. The Emperor's powers are not the problem here. He is powerful enough to fight of Chaos, but if he fails he won't be able to protect humanity anymore. You can't stop Chaos if humanity is exploding into Daemons.

That's why humanity must evolve. So that the Emperor can stop protecting them and let himself be reborn, to lead once again.

>>46984799
>It totally doesn't.

Totally does. See below.

>In a bright flurry of shattering silhouettes, the Troupe of Joyful Tears departed the webway.

>The hall on the far side of the portal was of lifeless stone, part-panelled in wood killed a thousand light years away and brought in slow-drying agony across the stars. This world was as dead as its ruler. The stink of humanity lay thick upon it, the statues near the ceiling coated in dust, the shed skin cells of people five hundred cycles gone. The psychic effect was a hideous weight, thousands of years of human suffering pressing in on Lhaerial’s sensitive mind, and that was the least of it. Crushing the sensation of the dead of the Earth was the titanic presence of the Corpse Emperor.

>Such power made Lhaerial’s mind reel, and for a moment her contempt for the creatures of Terra wavered. The mind of the Emperor was a mountain in the surging madness of the Othersea, blinding in its brilliance. The Great Powers circled this place like razorshark waiting out the death throes of a void-whale. That terrible presence held them back, and all His little servants were ignorant of it! Unease gripped her, that she would be noticed by the Dark Gods or their defier, and the fragile flame of her being snuffed out.

>The feeling passed. The regard of the things of the Othersea was ossified, so long had they fixed their gaze on the Earth. The Emperor did not shift His regard. His attention was elsewhere, upon the blinding pyre of souls, navigation beacon of the mon-keigh. She had no indication she was seen. There was little relief in that. She had laughed in the face of She Who Thirsts, but the Corpse Emperor filled her with a sense of dread.

-Throneworld

Also put this into consideration with what was said in Vengeful Spirit. If the Emperor drew close to the entities that he stole his power from, he would die. As long as his soul is anchored in his body, he is safe.

>>46984868
>She had laughed in the face of She Who Thirsts, but the Corpse Emperor filled her with a sense of dread.

Ha.

>>46984902
She is a harlequin. Her soul is shielded from Slaanesh by the Laughing God. From the Emperor? Not so much.

>>46984868
Absolutely no indication there that "grab his soul and tear it apart" is in anyway a certainty. Hell, it's only barely implied, the shark analogy more a simile for the Chaos Gods' impatient scheming than a promise of the Emperor's demise.
It is his psychic presence - his soul - holding them back.

>stole his powers from
Hahahahaha.

>>46984952
>It is his psychic presence - his soul - holding them back.

While he is in the materium. Within the Warp he would be powerless.

>the shark analogy more a simile for the Chaos Gods' impatient scheming than a promise of the Emperor's demise.

The clown felt them circling the Emperor. It's because their attentions being set on him that she and her kin managed to sneak on Terra without them detecting them.

>Hahahahaha

You didn't read Vengeful Spirit?

>>46985024

> While he is in the materium. Within the Warp he would be powerless.

Any non-arbitrary reason for this?

>>46985074
The same reason why a psyker can manifest his power in the materium to banish daemons and protect his allies from their taint, but when he is killed his soul is daemon food.

>>46985126

If nothing else, the old lore about Emps hasn't been directly contradicted.

>the clown
Nothing you said refuted what I said. The warp is a realm of ideas and emotions.

>>46984868
That does in no way claim that the Emperor can't defeat the Chaos gods.
I haven't read Vengeful Spirit, but I don't really trust /tg/ on the HH series because it's always some kind of half truths.
Refer to >>46984816 The only reason the Emperor is keeping himself alive is to shield humanity. Once they achieve that he can let himself die. BL hasn't really retconned anything as of yet, just changed the shamans into perpetuals. Not to mention Throneworld has the BL Dreadnaught tanking an Ork psyker solely because of his faith in the Emperor, or at least that's what he thinks. And the AdMech codex has the Omnicopaeia. No way GW would give Imperium a quicker way of achieving their win condition if they retcon it.

>>46985163
M8 this is all speculation, at least as of now.

>>46985212
>>believing the lies the Chaos Gods speak

You really haven't read the book? It wasn't said by any Chaos character.

And the old lore is undergoing a re-write. The Emperor wasn't born with his powers.

>Nothing you said refuted what I said.

The Vengeful Spirit thing did if you put it in tandem with the Throneworld thing.

>>46985266
>You really haven't read the book?

Vengeful Spirit does. If you want, I will copypasta the text.

Then don't bother trying to argue about something you don't know.

>>46985304
then what fucking can defeat them?

>>46985330
Ynnead maybe?

The Emperor cannot defeat them. Nobody can. However, he can equip humanity with the tools thy need to defend themselves against Chaos without his help.

But as far as I understood the Emperor "stole" from the Chaos gods to create the primarchs, not His powers. And the VS text could be just about the Emperor approaching the chamber or whatever, not his powers as a whole. As I've said I want to read the whole book before deciding
