Shame. Sorry. For anyone in the future who bumbles across an archived thread looking for the chapter's stuff, i tracked down the original post rather than my pdf copy.

There isn't, but there is a ship builder.

You can throw a red herring at them with the Ateanists which was my first thought with your post. Basically scholars and artists eventually discover the Eris Transform which makes an artwork far closer to perfect and also does warpy stuff, ranging from soul-delivered heroin to localised warp storms to "surprise you're a daemonhost!". Even better, throw it in a wing that's labelled condemned so they think this guy discovered it, realised the threat and threw it off.
The Tower of Babel exists in 40k, and it echoes through time and reality. You could have a series of paintings that, when put together, show the entire thing before it came down. And make it so that under some circumstances it shows a fragment of the Horus Heresy and the 'true' history.
The builder, the man at the very top, the man facing the sky and shaking his fist? Not the Emperor. If the final painting has a secondary vision, have it be Horus on the throne facing off against sky emperor and the tower the battered Imperium. Have something that definitely isn't a daemonhost that manifests to give them screamed warnings and clues when enough of the paintings are together. Something that the causes Imperial statues to bleed and warp when manifest, but leaves humans completely unharmed. Could be a daemon, could be a dead human god, could be a bit of warp trickery, could be the original builder, could just be a single really well informed human soul. Maybe it's something from that time that still exists in the echoes and it's trying to warn them about Big E. Hell, Enuncia's a bit of a weird topic but you could read the Ravenor books to pick up the enemy who does things with sacred architecture and Enuncia.
