Yup; rule number one about writing posthuman intelligences with your febrile mortal brain; do it from an outside perspective, because otherwise, you have to show your working.
And that working will be where everything falls apart thematically, because it will inevitably break kayfabe, and reveal the author, not as an omniscient disembodied narrator, but as a middle of the road English Literature student, with little understanding of things like physics, battle tactics, logistics, metaphysics, etc.
The methodologies of vastly superior minds should be murky and half-understood, clarifying only at the moment when the grand design coalesces, leaving the audience surrogate characters to question if this was their plan all along.
Exhaustively writing out the inner thoughts of godlike beings, to resemble those of petulant toddlers and egomaniacs, renders them thoroughly unglamorous.
It demystifies them.
The mystery, in most cases, is better left as a scintillating cloud of unknowable conjecture, rather than explained in exhaustive detail until all the magic and wonder is gone.
The interesting stuff in Warhammer is like the "God Of The Gaps" - it retreats every time the lore clarifies and concretes; to somewhere else where vagueness and unanswered questions yet dwell.
