    I'd love that to be true, basically using a little bit of left over Word Bearer trauma from Monarchia to fuck their shit up. Words and memories of intense emotional significance would resonate in the warp more strongly, and the fact that he was fighting Word Bearers could have given him the advantage of utilising their memory of the event as well as his.

This Archonite is a unique individual in the 40k, he was from perhaps the most foul and most heretical of the Legions, but his existence and survival was important for Belief of the Emperor. Perhaps had the Word Bearers remained loyal they would have been the most faithful to the Emperor, and perhaps even the very bane of daemons.

    They were the most faithful. Lorgar wholeheartedly believed in the Emperor as the divine soul of the human species. They fell behind in their "quota" for conquering and converting worlds during the great crusade because they spent so much time preaching to the natives about the Emperor and building temples and monuments. They weren't just installing new governments and infrastructure, they were teaching faith. But in the end, there is no greater villain than one who's beliefs have been shattered by the very thing they believed in. Not just reprimanded, but ridiculed and scorned as fools for their beliefs by the Emperor himself. He really should have taken some parenting classes...

    There's also the fact that the Anchorite, as one of Lorgar's pious bois, would have studied daemonology, basically summoning warp entities and channeling the power of the Dark Gods into the material realm. We have Dark Apostles like Marduk summoning daemonettes into real space aboard a Drukhari vessel for example, through faith. After his conversion back to the Imperial Creed, perhaps the Anchorite used this same ability to channel the power of the Dark Gods but to channel the Astronomnicon instead?

    Perhaps The Anchorite has, for lack of better term, "evolved"? Unlike other dreadnoughts, it seems implied that The Anchorite has been awake for most of these ten thousand years, making him not only a contender for oldest, but the most continually active space marine in the galaxy. It's possible that there's some hidden potential that only manifests after such a long span of time. Astartes draw many of their unique qualities from their gene-seed, which in turn comes from their primarch, and we know that the primarchs themselves can develop new powers over time, as demonstrated by Corvus Corax and implied to be a possibility for Guilliman. This is associated with exposure to the warp, but described more as revealing something that was already present. It's possible that over sheer length of time, and enough opportunity for self-reflection, this hidden potential could be uncovered naturally, and Astartes could inherit some small fraction of that same hidden potential. Maybe, then, the Anchorite has simply learned to tap into the supernatural power underlying the potency of his gene-seed, granting him some of the powers a hypothetical "pure" version of Lorgar would have had. Or he might have gone even further beyond, to Super Astartes level thr- [cough] sorry, to the original source the primarchs themselves were derived from, the Emperor.

    Warsmith time: There is only one loyalist Word Bearer that we have encountered throughout the Horus Heresy, and in all likelihood the Anchorite is Narek of the Word. The power he exhibited is more than likely a manifestation of what we saw in Plague War, specifically the Emperor reaching out to eliminate potential threats. In terms of him encountering similar powers in the past we can take specific note of the Fulgurite spear, a shard of the Emperors power which Narek once held. The simple fact that Narek held this solidified shard of the Emperors might and was not destroyed shows that he was able to at least in part endure the power of a living God. There is also the matter that the Word Bearers came for this particular renegade, Kor Phaeron or Erebus attempt to preach unity for their Legion, Narek would represent a threat to their schemes and a potential thorn in the side given what he knew of the 17th.

    Yes you are correct (it was about a year since I read that book last xD). But again, this doesn't change the fact that he couldn't have been the Anchorite since Narek was still active prior to the siege and the Anchorite was locked within some Macraggian dungeon. Still it would be interesting to find out what happened to Narek. Maybe we'll know in the ongoing Siege series?

I was a soldier riding a horse wielding a spear to charge an invasion, I did not know what enemy I the legion of horsemen facing but the skies were full of flashes of light like lightning and shots going up the sky. Later I would get knocked off my horse and was fallen into piles of rubble concealing me in it, hours of war passed and only when the light of morning shines where it all went silent I suddenly hear a voice of a child desperately begging someone to dig me out and her black silhouette was the first thing a saw but slowly fade away revealing a small child with long white hair, wearing a red armor like of the sisters of battle holding a staff to her right hand with giant glowing wings behind. She even praised the emperor for my survival of the war only for me to look around and all I saw was a flattened red field covered in dead bodies as far as the eye can see. The dream made me speechless when I woke up and everytime I think about the end part of my dream

A place to rally the loyalst forces and strike back from. The chapters who refused the Primaris are guilty of not following the orders of the imperial regent, so, yes they would be committing a traitorous act.( i would think the Robbie G would give them every opportunity to reconsider.) The Anchorite came to the ultramarines for confession and execution, allowing him to ponder his sins and to see what became of what they helped set in motion was a worse punishment than a quick death.

    The Imperial Truth made it clear that there as no God and the the Emperor of Man was nothing more than a Man himself. This level of Humility cannot be understated as the Emperor was a being of great strength, intellect, and psychic power and therefore perhaps not a God, but a superior being nonetheless. While the emperor does not claim to be divine, what he may never have considered is the question of what is divine? What is a God but a symbol from which people draw hope and strength, a master who brings wisdom to those seeking it and judgment upon those who would do evil. The Emperor may never have wanted to be a God, but truly great men do not seek power, but rather they have power thrust upon them. I think in the time the Emperor has spent on the Golden Throne, his psychic will projecting out and possibly aware of everything that has happened since, he may very well understand the importance of having someone to believe in and should he return, he may very well embrace his new role.

    My money is that he said the Emperors name. Not just Revalation, or The Emperor, or Anathama- he said the Emperors actual name and hearing it obliterates warp energy. Even saying “The Emperor” causes pain, or at least a reaction, in Warp entities as shown in Plauge Wars series where Kugath flinches and barks “Do not speak his name. We call him Anathama for a reason!” At Mortarion. (Totally butchered the quote, but it’s basically the same) So, if saying The Emperor makes daemons and chaos influenced flinch, what would Emps real name make them do?
