You are suddenly the Emperor of the present day Imperium of Man, fully restored to health, the entire fate of humanity rests on your shoulders. What do you do?

a) Celebrate no longer being the turd that wont flush on the great throne with a huge party....
b) Continue eating the souls of telepaths simply because they taste better than the year 40k hamburgers.
c) Organise some sort of parade with space hulks converted into floats.....having titans dancing on top of them instead of people.....
d) Make a pact with chaos because to be honest....."Blood for the Blood God!" is just a much cooler company motto......

Keevan.

execute the mars leaders for heresy, actually plug into some real tech for once, and bring in the dark age of technology once again.

Get rid of some of the quasi-religious stuff, mostly the impractical things like having to wait a month so some tech-priests can bless your magna-melta bombs before BDZing a planet

. Increase FTL, Power Armor, and Plasma R&D funding, so we can at least improve Warp travel efficiency, and build plasma guns and Power Armor again. I'd also increase Space Marine recruitment programs.

Having finished with cleaning up internal affairs, I'd then forge an alliance with the Tau and, if they're willing, the Eldar. Then I'd make a massive assault on Chaos worlds, and send some of the resulting veterans to establish bases and defensive positions at Cadia. Such a large offensive would likely take its toll, so I'd then consolidate my remaining forces and wait 50 years or so for a new generation of Marines. Hopefully Chaos will have been severely incapacitated and confined mostly to the Eye of Terror, so I'd then concentrate on the Orks.

After cleaning house of the idiots that kept the Emperor stuck on the Golden Throne, clean out a large chunck of the religious crap. The Dark Age of Technology doesnt look too dark compared to the current mess the IoM is in. Educate people, Chaos will find fewer hold on a well order mind.

Howlling religious fundies can only go so far in combat. There is a hell of a differenace between a Warrior & a Soldier.

exactly which howling religious fundies do you mean ?
Because that certainly doesnt described either the space marines or the Imperial guard....the main fighting arms of the Imperium.

I would insitigate an immediate purge of Mars....but keep it subtle. find the Dragons lair, surround it with vortex weapons.

Get the various forge worlds to stop withholding info from each other and set a program in place to replace the Leman russ with the Vanquisher model as the standard Guard tank.

Sacrifice a few planets to master Zero-point Warpfield technology.

Hopefully eliminate most of taboos that bar/slow down research, and bring high-powered lance technology and gravitic torpedos back to the fore as well as vortex weapons and advanced hunterkillers.

Go waste a Tau planet....knick the Railgun technologyt and design specs, maybe the Ion cannon stuff as well.

Unless he means the Black Templars, who ironically may outnumber the original Imperial Fists Legion which they split from.

Summon all the inquisition to terra line them up and say... what the fuck do you think you are doing you bunch of tits. Then throw a vortex grenade in the middle of them, and laugh as they are all sucked into hell. Send a telepathic signal to Russ Corax and the other surviving space marines to tell them that I am fully recovered. Break out the dark angels primarch. Waste the C'tan with convinient warp weapons. Excecute the Adeptus Mechanicus for gross incompetence and stupidity. Arange for a larger sphere of influence to be sesceeded to the Tau. Ask the eldar for a list of the planets they want vacated. Carry out Quixos' plan to close the eye of terror and the maelstrom. Instruct them in the uses of DaoT tech, as the emperor invented a good portion of it. Instruct them to go sort out the monks with the STC database. Redirect all efforts to killing the Tryanids. (having already killed the C'tan) that should be enough for now.

Get a new form of FTL as my ressurection (and future travels) will seriously fuck up the Astrnomicon.

He doesn't need to, he remembers how they did it in the DaoT and the Great Crusade.

Well i quickly install that method then.

Priorities: (in no particular order)

1) Tyranids - need squishing
2) Find out how much the Tau actually follow this "greater good" thing and if their not true to it kill them all, if they are true to it .... killl them all anyway (taking some of their tech of course)
3) Get everybody's ass into gear. Honestly i go away for a few millenia and look at the mess when i come back

4) Find some way to kill the C'Tan !!!
5) Spread news of my return to everypone ASAP. (if some snotty planetery govener doesn't believe me then send the MAines.)
6) Find out (Remember) just who the Legion of the Dammed.

The LotD are the Flame Hawks or something. Their fleet was lost in the warp. They seem to be sent by some benevolent entity. (the emperor?)

Weren't the Flamehawks the 2nd funding chapter that was so mutated that they were destroyed by a "convinient" Warp travel "accident"?

Forgot about the Primarchs!

add in what NecronLord reccomends to my statement..

Primarch wise that gives us

Guilliem....depending on whether or not the poison can be cured.

Corax...if hes still alive

Russ....again, if hes still around.

Khan...I think...not sure

and a few others Lion el Johnson and one more IIRC

I believe the LoTD are the Fire Hawks, I think they lost their fleet during the war in which the Astral Claws were exiled, IIRC the Mantis warriors may have caused it....not sure though.

Unless he means the Black Templars, who ironically may outnumber the original Imperial Fists Legion which they split from

Even then the description doesnt match, the Templars are Zealots, and thus can suffer from being such, but if being religious makes you like the Templars...give me more fanatics!

Im not sure why you want the Tau to survive....personally I would slaughter them, unless you are using them as a Tyranid buffer.
