So, if the Emperor has been around since 8,000 BC and has been blending in with the normal human population just how tall is this dude? I know his facial appearance changes nearly all the time but I don't think that correlated to his height. Either that or a 10-12 foot person went unnoticed for god knows how long.
He could change his height and shape dude. The fact that he took the form of a twelve foot tall glowing adonis when he was ruling the Imperium out in the open is irrelevant. His "true" form is probably some 5'5'' Indo-European peasant.
Now I can't stop picturing Emps as a 5'5' indo-european peasant. He only get's his height from his terminator armor and when he's not in it and the Primarchs came to visit they tower over him but won't fuck with him because he could still wipe them out of existence with a stray thought.

I would think that being as powerful a psyker as he is, he could simply make himself appear as whatever he wanted people perceive him as at any given time.
>>54009566
This. He'll appear as tall or short as you want him too. He could probably even keep the illusion and physically change himself.

>He could probably even skip the illusion and physically change himself.
Fixed. That was a baffling typo.
I remember reading a quip about a sister if silence seeing him and his real self.

>just how tall is this dude?
He was Conan when he was young, so quite tall for the time.
I can reveal, that in this time and age, he goes by the name of Tommy Wiseau and he lives somewhere in the US, so go and check him out.
He's a master biomancer.
He's as big as he needs to be.
Wasn't there a moment when a Primarch (or Space Marine) saw through his facade and called him an old shrivelled man?

She say she sees him without the golden aura and psychic corona, yes. His face seems "ageless" and he's larger than you'd think (I.e. his Golden Throne sitting self is his actual size at the time, not an illusion), but he looks absolutely human, not like a golden god or eldritch abomination.

I think in deliverance lost Corax sees him quickly in great pain on the throne.
In previous books Lorgar, Horus and Magnus at different times are shown visions of a corpse covered in ethereal lightning atop a golden throne but misunderstood what it was.

>the concept of Golden Throne already exists, referring toEmperor's Throne of Terra
>Primarchs see a corpse on a golden throne in visions
>two of said Primarchs are specialists in interpreting visions and portents
>have no idea what it is
I have endless love for 40k but god damnit

When John Grammaticus shook his hand he had some vision where he saw thru the glamor and it shook him up pretty bad

Becauseshe's just driving a big suit of armor.

The emperor can hide his emperorness
he dicked around with vulkan for days before revealing his identity

Do not believe that lie, the E was created specifically to unite humanity at the end of the DAoT.
