Grand Admiral Thrawn is declared an accepted type of Abhuman

>>50078005
He's an imperial so enough to make him look important/badass but not enough to change the setting at large.

He attempts to conquer the Tau to extreme effect, but dies when a Kroot mercenary learns Thrawn has been lying to him all this time about some vital issue concerning honor.

It was so artistically done, too.

>He's in 40k so enough to make him look important/badass but not enough to change the setting at large.
Fixed

>>50078219
I just said imperial because imperium. Slip of the tongue.

>>50078005
Nothing because he isn't canon anymore :^)

>>50078260
But he is though.

>>50078260

Not true.

He's canon now. Nice try though.

>>50078260
He's back in Nu canon

I'm guessing most of the "backstory" stuff (i.e. all the stuff that doesn't conflict with Disney churning out new sequels) is gonna be put back in sooner or later since most of the writers are the same guys and gals who compiled a fair amount of the old EU to begin with

>How much does he accomplish?
Order 66 against SM.

Does Thrawn bait always work?

He quickly befriends Creed, putting him in charge of the Imperial Guard while Thrawn retains direct command of the Navy.

Within a few decades Space Marines become a purely anti-Chaos force, because Chaos is the one faction whose art and culture Thrawn cannot safely analyze.

Do orks have art? Other than the art of war I mean.

>blue alien guy favoring tacticool maneuvers.

As if the IoM will ever let a xenos command a ship, let alone a fleet.

What Thrawn excels at is real politik and reading his opponent. He'd be very good for the job but wouldn't panacea the setting. He'd probably make it his life's work to gut and reconstruct the Imperial Administratum

He would either be the Eldar's greatest enemy or ally, depending on the day of the week

Ork's have art and 'kulture' but these actually are studied and understood by Imperials, it doesn't change the fact that Orks generally are a threat by sheer persistence and numbers. He could greatly reduce the resources spent on them, but not fully eliminate the problem.

The Tau he would quite viciously thrash, or at least end the Imperium's streak of jobbing to them

He'd be a rebel systems worst nightmare

Studying Chaos "art" is a good way to have tentacles burst out of your eye sockets.

>ywn be an inquisitor with a hot chiss chick in your retinue

>>50078005
The Only Successful Art Major In Reality Or Fiction stops being that, because in the 40k setting looking at alien art will probably drive you mad.

>chaos art
He'd probably have little bits of chaotic arts all over his walls when he has to meet with someone, to keep unnaturally worried and on the edge.

>>50080118
>The Tau he would quite viciously thrash, or at least end the Imperium's streak of jobbing to them

In a battle of plot armour...

>>50082501
....that actually sounds like something he'd do. Hell some of the Inquisition probably do the same.

>>50082424
It's like Fulgrim all over again
