From average men to the Big E. There is only a 2 to 4 foot height difference with the giant armour on.

Average primarch* magnus and horus were almost as tall as the emperor and alpharius/Omegon was only a bit taller than a normal astartes.

Doesn’t anyone know where I can rewatch Invader Zim? That would make nostalgia me sooo happy!

No he’s a thunder warrior... The hound is an Astartes probably Space Wolf or loyalist Luna Wolf.... maybe space Corgie

Most of these pick low-level leaders among their own kind, and thus these are the same size as their subordinates.

Pretty close, but the Astartes were the replacements for Thunder Warriors, better suited for mass production

They were eaten by the tyrannids.

Due to lack of height/leadership

And then a group of 20 tiny crazy cultists poked the Primaris in their super power armor with rusty knives, and they died to rolling 1's.

Genetically engineered and insane they were created to conquer earth, and then died almost immediately thereafter.

Older orks are larger. Older humans are larger. Therefore, humans are space orks.

Make them 16ft tall, but they'll have the same size head and like CRAZY wide shoulders. Like 6 feet apart wide shoulders.

Wait. OG thunder warriors were larger then traditional Astartes? Neat
xUnrealRealityx
Yep, they’re supposed to be better than modern Astartes, Custodes aside. Unfortunately, they were also dangerously unstable.
Drewscifer
I thought that was a given being that their rep was they were better fighters than SMs but didn’t last as long and more brutes than soldiers
behrditz
They were designed ONLY to fight and then die immediately of old age. Space Marines are meant to be more, and last.
JamesBluntThatSmartassCunt
TWs were fucking badasses. They were also insane.
tomyironmane
They didn't start out that way... they just tended to burn out quickly...
Pimpquisitor
They actually were meant to be like that. Emps needed them to die off before the end of the unification wars so he could roll out Astartes.
tomyironmane
at least that's what someone says on the matter. Might have been as simple as a design tradeoff.
Pimpquisitor
It’s my head cannon anyway. If I was the emperor and my super warriors were as batshit as the TW you’d want them gone as fast as possible.
ImperatorNikolai

Wrong market demographic to many older people LOVED IT not enough kids loved it. Adults dont buy "as many toys or whatever" as kids
SLAANESHonNSFWposts
Too scary for many in Nickelodeon's age 2-11 target at the time then no one else picked it up due to low ratings.

Maybe when we were kids! Put that shit on adult swim or something. Millenials love that shit :)

Adults buy all the toys.

Invader Zim still exists as a comic! Don't be fooled by Nickelodeons idiocy!

There is a trailer out for it as well, but I am avoiding it to prevent spoilers :)
Kaiserboot
Cuz it was freaking weird. Awesome, but freaking weird.
crimsonghost1
Because hot topic rejects wouldn't stop making obnoxious references to the show and killed it.
jakefromstatefarmmmmmm
Why would that kill it?

Simply? Profits tv shows are funded by ads that play to sell things to a certain demographic.
pilgrimfitz
Dont know what that means. But I will give you one of my faves.... You made the fire worse! ZIM- Or better?
GaetanBamphous
So it was the rick and morty of its time?
DaddySchlongleg
No. Invader Zim was dark but not crude. Young kids could watch it but the humour was young adult.
NZSheeps
Pretty much.

Other way around. RICK n Mort are the invader zim of this time

If the emperor was around pre golden age how the fuck did no one notice a 20ft giant wandering around? Can he shapeshift? Gen curious!
theginofgan
Yeah he can shapeshift
Ustrello
Pretty sure he could shapeshift, he did it quite often when getting the primarchs back
kadaeux
Mostly through psyker nonsense. He was capable of completely concealing himself in a room with a Primarch and the most powerful Psyker 1/2
kadaeux
in the Imperium AND the leaders of the Assassin clades until he chose to reveal himself. 2/2
KillFax
Yeah, and now he has shapeshifted into a skeleton hehehe... ... . I'll see myself out
AeonsShadow
There is a theory is that the Orks believed he was this immortal warrior and that is why is is that immortal god of a man.
Ace0nPoint
Yeah that's my theory as to why he's still alive. XD
JamesBluntThatSmartassCunt
Shape shifting most powerful Psyker in the galaxy.
tankman303
Hes the size of a normal human but hes a crazy powerful psyker so he can make people perceive him as a giant
TheFloridaiestMan
I forget which but one of the primarchs when first seeing him saw through his projection and noted that he was exceptionally average looking
GodEmperorOfImgur
Like this:
Codecomp
DO NOT PAY ATTENTION TO THE GLOWING BRONZED FLESH LIKE HILL!
Cultistchan
he wasn't that tall I think, but he used his magic powers to 'appear more normal' altho he was nailed to a cross that one time.
thundercactus
Well he's been on the golden throne for 10,000 years. So his original form is only in story. Why WOULDNT you make the god emperor 20ft tall?
NobodyWorthThinkingAbout
God-level Bluff score and shouting "YOU NO SEE ME!" every five feet.
Drewscifer
Basically he could alter people’s perceptions and stayed away from them until the age of “oh fuck shit’s complexly gone to hell++”
towhomthebell
We can change his body and he has no real race or even face as they change from person to person
THEDEATHOFRATS
I think the answer is psyker, but I'm not sure
eccex
He didn’t actually have that physical stature. He was an extremely powerful psyker who only casted the image of being this 20ft tall “god”
iscasaci
Sometimes didn't even need to do it, people just saw him differently due to his power simply...being. Interestingly, I recall a sister of+
iscasaci
+silence actually saw him as a fairly regular looking, albeit huge, dude.
McDouggal
Roughly 5'8" middle eastern dude. Tall for 3000 BCE, but not especially.
SLAANESHonNSFWposts
As described in the book Descent of Angels when Zahariel meets the emperor basically he can't remember anything about what he looked like 1/
SLAANESHonNSFWposts
He just remembers a bright light and an imposing power. I believe something is mentioned about the emperor shielding him from his 2/
SLAANESHonNSFWposts
True form so he doesn't go insane. Or in my book he just blanked out the gangbang.

DaierMune
He's an extremely powerful psyker. Or was, I guess.
belislero
Heresy!
pyrrhusepirus
I dont think it's fair to assume he was just a pysker I would guess he was genuinely a unique being with his own array of power
syntaxxor
Did he finally die? He still technically is last I checked. Just a huge amount of his power is going against the void, no?
iscasaci
There's debate whether his remains still 'live' or not, but his spirit still lingers attached to them upon the golden throne nonetheless.
Keydan
Stop being a heretic dude, or i am calling the Inquisition!
DaierMune
Nah, still a bag'o'bones sitting on his golden throne
syntaxxor
Our lord and savior Leman Russ will guide humanity into the future.
Apletto
There's textual evidence he isn't 20ft tall, and people just saw him that way during the Great Crusade.
dingofdong
Isn't the emperor kind of still around, though (well, most of him, anyway)? Couldn't they just go and check?
amoyamoyamoya
Heresy!
Rexli78
It’s common knowledge that individuals perceive the Emperor differently because of his psychic powers. Only blanks see the “true” Emperor.
Domehammer
I'm just imagining what one psychic from Mob Psycho 100 Season 2 Episode 9 does to get buff and taller.

The answer is given in the Horus Heresy novels - He's not 20 feet tall. He looks like a regular, humdrum human being (Isn't even ripped)...

Yeah, I was saying in reference to the original question of how normal people didn't see a 20 foot tall giant.

tomtastic687

SlightlyAnnoyedDwarf
I still think it's pretty damn cool.
kadaeux
The way his glamour is described (when not concealing himself) seems to be that people see who they *need* to see as their 'ideal.' 1/2
kadaeux
Only a handful of the Primarchs didn't buy what they saw, and the Emperor reclaimed them through, basically naked force.

The "you look most like our father" line they all use is a hint of this glamour

Real question is how did the sensei (emperor's normal birth descendants) come around? not sure how women survived the Big E.

Simple, Sensei aren't considered canon anymore.
Apletto
Oops...
LordBlake
IIRC, the emperor wasnt born, more made, a bunch (read, alot) of prehistory shamans (pskers) saw the threats of the warp and felt the best
LordBlake
way to fight against it was to combine their souls into one being, it's also the base for the theory that if enough pskers are fed to the
LordBlake
emperor that he'll be reborn
IdiotPatrol
Not sure who down voted you, I was gonna say the same thing. Bunch of shamans sacrificed themselves to birth the ultimate leader.
Johak
It is hinted several times that Big E was/is some sort of shapeshifter. I guess then he made Himself look normal and went on with business?
Johak
I guess the real question would be. How could a normal female body be able to gestate such being?
SayIAmYou
He started out pretty normal, at least physically. Shows up as a kid in Master of Mankind
Byrhtnoth
Other way around - he’s a normal-sized dude, but his psyker glamor makes everyone see what they need to see in human perfection.
