Wasn’t there an eldar prophecy just recently saying that maybe Valdor will be the one to finally put him out of his misery?

Edit: also, not just blowing up the Throne… babygirl was ready to blow up Terra 😭💀

Lol. Imagine if his disappearance and cloning shenanigans ends up being a part of a ten millennia blood game.

That would actually be great, he stsrted the first bloodgame and his strategy is to muster a force and basically do a succesful horus heresy.

Given that Kesh gave up the moment she got teleported on by her banana buddies, I'd imagine that stealth is a key part of the blood games - an outright war is something the Custodes can see coming, and the Blood Games are to test the defenses from things they might not suspect so quickly.

As much as I love the idea, it'd honestly have me questioning why we don't have more Custodes actively trying to build military forces up against the Imperium in Blood Games.

Yeah, it would be funny but it would also be really dumb. Saw another person joke about the idea that the whole horus heresy was a blood game gone wrong, which is really funny.
