>>5272483Is that a theoretical or a practical question? I.e. "boy if I really looked like this, it would be hard to scratch myself" or "Man, it is hard to scratch myself."
Joking of course.
Though I wonder how close to the Emperors "true form" Talos might see in the Quest, or what it will be if he does.
All the primarchs note how hard it was to actually remember what the Emperor looked like, even Dorn who never forgot a thing in his life. Roboute says sometimes he was taller than them in the golden armor form, sometimes he was shorter. Corax saw a young brown skinned man for a few brief flickers.
John Grammaticus, a powerful psyker and perpetual, saw something that made him want to puke.
My headcanon is his golden big shiny form is an aura for the masses, his young swarthy anatolian conan self is his original identity as a man and thus what Corax or a Null might penetrate to see, and what John Grammaticus saw
is the Emperor of 40k. Mummified bones, kept alive through sheer psychic will long after the body should have died ages ago. What happened to the wounded emperors body on the Golden Throne from the Vengeful Spirit to 40k was not a slow biological decay, but simply the Emperor no longer able to expend his aura on maintaining himself to be beautiful when he has a galaxy to guard..
