>>43312628>why don't they just use a couple million on researching how to make a new emperor?Generally because only the Radical factions of the Inquisition would be capable of instituting and completing this type of research unmolested, and the very flat hierarchy of the Inquisition means that accusations of Heresy are incredibly difficult to get rid of.
Basically, you need
-A majority of people that don't see this as Chaos bullshit
-A set of people with the knowledge of Psyker things
--A sub-set of people with the willingness to try.
--A sub-set of people with the power to do so
-----A sub-set of people not afraid to do so
Etc etc. Not to mention that the people with the knowledge to do this are also in the know regarding the Heresy which means that making superhumans is considered a TERRIBLE idea already

>And with the immaterium being the mess it is at the moment, it might not even be possible at all. The craftworld eldar are trying to craft themselves a new god, using the souls of all their dead, and they've been at it since the fall. Quite the project.Not to mention they're not even united and you'd most likely have to unite all craftworld Infinity Circuits physically to even check whether critical mass has been reached.
Then again, Emps most likely didn't start out as powerful as an Eldar god. He also didn't need to since unlike them he was embodied so he only needed to keep Chaos "out", rather than "away" in order to not get eaten.
>>43312660>When he was alive to help maintain the throne, it needed a lot less juice, he could put other psychers on it, and it wouldn't eat them.Oh fair enough.
