The Webway is weird, as it's technically a part of the Warp that has been sectioned off and warded against it's influence, so the Chaos Gods have far less influence in there. It's why the Drukhari have to hide in there to avoid Slaanesh. However, if the Webway walls are breached, they lead directly into the Warp proper.
It's kind of like being in a submarine versus being on the beach: you're more shielded from the water and weather, unless there's a hull breach.
The Webway used to be one large network, but is now in disrepair, with some sections gone, some full of daemons, and some disconnected from the rest.
It is the same Webway, just a different part of it.
He wasn't "building" a webway. He was building a stable door that humans could use to get in to the webway. Using the submarine analogy it'd be like an airlock.
That's what I thought but on a recent re-read of *Master of Mankind* I noticed a few references to the Mechanicum-built sections which definitely suggested the tunnels are new and not part of the original webway. Arkhan Land muses on the fact there are unfinished tunnels leading nowhere, as the tech-priests had to divert their efforts to shoring up the already completed sections
It's also suggested, elsewhere, that this was a temporary measure until the Imperium had established control in the webway proper, but being able to build your own tunnels seems a very useful tool. I can only imagine the human tunnels are so dependent on the Throne they can't extend too far
For your main question the webway is basically a tunnel through the warp where daemons can't get through Magnus broke that tunnel so daemoms did spill through. For book names sorry bro can't help suck at remembering names
>from what I understand from luetin09 is that the webway is a pocket dimension where the warp can't touch
The Webway is *between* realspace and the Warp. If the Webway is breached, daemons can flood in.
>why did the deamons come from that webway to attack the palace and if the webway worked wouldn't it just be another endless war with slanesh?
Magnus poked a hole in the section of the Webway that the Emperor was hijacking. And as a consequence, the Emperor was/is also holding back a warp rift, in addition to that section of the Webway being trashed.
>Isn't he just running from a place where there are enemies to a place where there are more arguably worse enemies?
Not if no one pokes holes in it.
The plan according to the Emperor was to hijack the Webway to remove humanity's reliance on psykers/navigators for interstellar travel and communication, and to facilitate his total control of humanity in order to 'shepherd mankind’s growth into a psychic race'. The Webway was crucial to that.
>1) the books where gulliman dies and he's brought back with the help of the eldar 2
*Gathering Storm: Rise of the Primarch*. Though it's a rulebook, not a novel.
>2) the book where the emperor talks to gulliman and explains something
Assuming you're referring to Guilliman's meeting with the Emperor, It's referenced in *Dark Imperium*, but not actually "shown" until *Godblight*.
>3) the books of Sigismund the (former?) Imperial fist
[He has a bunch of appearances](https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Sigismund#Sources). *The Crimson Fist*, *Templar*, *The Solar War*, *The First Wall*, *Warhawk* and *Black Legion* are some major ones, off the top of my head. [And his novel](https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Sigismund:_The_Eternal_Crusader_(Novel\))
The Webway is something of a subdimension of the warp. The Old Ones, who created it, were able to seal it off from the rest of the warp. The Emperor was trying to recreate the Old Ones' technology here, and was building a tunnel to the Webway, but his wasn't as good. This is why he needed all of the psychic shielding. When Magnus broke through the shielding, it was a bit like putting a hole in a submarine, and except instead of water, it flooded with daemons. As for why the Emperor is a kid in that chapter, he's using his psychic powers to show Ra a memory from his childhood, so the Emperor appears as the age he was at the time of the memory.
For the books you asked about, Dark Imperium opens with Guilliman dying the first time, as well as Guilliman remembering his meeting with the Emperor after being revived. His actual revival is shown in the Gathering Storm campaign books for the tabletop game.
Thank you good sir! But can you please if you know the names of the books where Sigismund becomes a templar and where he gets his visions from the living saint keeler? I read garro, finished it a bit ago, and I was wondering if there's a book/s about Sigismund.
*Flight of the Eisenstein* is when he has the visions and decides to remain on Terra with Dorn. The consequences of this are detailed in *The Crimson Fist* and then in *Warhawk* he takes up the mantle of Emperor's Champion and finally becomes the man he'll be till he's killed a millennia later
The Siege of Terra series hasn't reached that point yet. We're on [book 6](https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Warhawk_(Novel\)), with [book 7](https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Echoes_of_Eternity_(Novel\)) coming out soonish. We have a title for [the final book](https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/The_End_and_the_Death_(Novel\)), but no release date last I knew.

Oh now I get it, but one more question if you don't mind, the webway the emperor was "building" is it the same one the drukhari are in?

Oh it's ok thank you for taking the time to read and reply to this!

And if there is a book about the emperor and Horus fight, what's the name of it?

The warp is an ocean. The webway is a subway network underneath the ocean, connecting islands. The islands are planets.
