I think my favorite series of comics is basically a Krieger being stationed at a Paradise world
Mainly because it's goofy and clearly doesn't take itself seriously at all
The first comic is the funniest because it's basically just the Krieger standing around silently in a peaceful landscape only for him to sit down and think
"Is this hell?"
rocky gale
how big was his meat?
Lets just say he never needed a shovel to dig a trench

Mostly living underground does that to you
dont forget always wearing hazmat gear at all times
which is based as hell

it irks me whenever somebody in fully enclosed hazmat gear still gets poisoned by chemical agents in 40k

it's funny since space marine armour has that
it's described often
enough for me to consider it cannon
apparently the armour's link to the black carapace lets them filter the toxins while also smelling them through the suit's receptors or something
but space marines also have their augmented form which filters everything anyways 
reading space marine books has given me the impression that they only wear the armour for cool factor alone since apparently their body does all the work anyways

Space marine is written like it acts like an extension of the marine's body and then in sm2 they just go thunk thunk thunk

Actually do any major characters have pets?
You cannot tell me the Emperor was not a dog person

Dogs definitely do

Because humanity literally spread across the stars

I don't think there's even any descriptions of how they look
hasty coral
I forget if the Space Wolves ever use actual wolves
opaque coyote
My personal headcanon is that they're simulatenously both the "anime" type and the "furry" type. Both types of cringe, yippee.
hasty coral
Maybe that’s the Iron Lords from Destiny
opaque coyote
Basically it's a summer and winter coat thing
arctic talon
Space wolf wolves are

Summer they're the anime type of catgirls

Occasionally yeah, but the benefit about 40k is that the GENERAL setting is grimdark. But the individual stories don't have to be.
hasty coral
Oh it doesn’t look that bad
Those are humans though? Or were?
arctic talon
They're very intelligent
to a human degree
they live in old human DAOT ruins
and there's legends on how "there are no wolves on Fenris"
opaque coyote
Oh it doesn’t look that bad
Those are humans though? Or were?
we have no clue
but most likely
yes
hasty coral
Just that they aren’t actual wolves?
arctic talon
they're heavily implied to be human
hasty coral
Ah
opaque coyote
Also the fact that a space marine can RIDE on one of them. Shows their size
arctic talon
the normal fenrisan wolfs are from much later chronologically

You know I was gonna say “Humanity would never be this comedically awful” but well

thunderwolves have been on Fenris

at least since the Age of Strife

You see the problem with 40k is that things are literally so shit that they basically uh
adapted to it
arctic talon
opaque coyote
There are very few planets that have a modern sense of morality
In fact I am confident in that there are no planets in the Imperium that have a modern sense of morality
What would be considered monsterous to us
is just daily life for the Imperium
hasty coral
Ok but relatively

They literally used Lobotomized people

this is some of my favorite imperium art
snow fern
I'm not sure the concept of morality exists in 40k

There are good people. The problem is that circumstance combined with the regime doesn't really give them the chance
storm jungle
There are good people. The problem is that circumstance combined with the regime...
well yeah hence the plural "guys" bit

That’s kinda his job
opaque coyote
Maybe with the Emperor "overlooking" them all from his golden throne
arctic talon
only thing I don't like about the art is like the lanky ass marine
he's fuckin weird
snow fern
Warhammer fantasy actually has a decent amount of good people, but also a lot of religious zealotry and stubborn goats
arctic talon
I do like the lack of eye lense glow though
snow fern
The War of the Beard is easily the stupidest\

Well peaceful in the sense of it doesn’t suck as much
opaque coyote
In a weirdly peaceful way
He is representative of giving up and misery. He's basically the patron god of abusive parents

He does abuse his followers
He just says it's love.

Also won’t Nurgle just automatically win if the warp doesn’t consume everything?

not really?
storm jungle

not unless the other chaos gods let him

Yah, I like to imagine an ending where the End Times was stopped, I think it could actually happen in Fantasy
hasty coral
Isn’t part of his purview entropy?
opaque coyote

Nah the Chaos Gods want to keep the game going forever.
And ever.
snow fern
I don't think 40k could survive an end times event
hasty coral
I don't think 40k could survive an end times event
Obviously not lmao what
Well maybe Tyranids
opaque coyote
Basically the Chaos Gods are basically Tabletop players
Which is funny to think about
Like the Chaos Gods are literally just a bunch of dysfunctional friends playing a board game
hasty coral
Again Tyranids are those really weird side players who are constantly given insane implications
But then don’t do much
opaque coyote
if they did the setting would end
It's why the Tyranids are kinda disliked
hasty coral
Like it’s almost 100% they ate everything else right?
opaque coyote
They have a lot of talk
opaque coyote
But they don't have a lot of walk
arctic talon
nids are a fucking mystery
snow fern
I dislike the tyrannids cause they're boring
hasty coral
It’s definitely implied
arctic talon
yeah
snow fern
they're just entirely 1 dimensional
opaque coyote
I dislike the tyrannids cause they're boring
I like the idea of them? But I feel like keeping them just "hive mind" is kinda limiting
Or at least an emotionless hivemind

if nids got a face
arctic talon
nids getting a face would be weird
opaque coyote
faceless faction

hasty coral
Yes but the scale they have makes no personality kinda suck
hasty coral
we'd get cringe shit like Kerrigan
Honestly not wrong
storm jungle
they shouldnt have a personality
dusk patrol
If you want Nids to get a face, respectfully, go find another faction
arctic talon
or at least the hivemind can hate
storm jungle
Eternal, get em

Kerrigan's heels

Animals are capable of emotions like hate
snow fern
but morality is a sapient thing

Their whole point is they’re faceless

Yeah because Halo did it best
Doesn’t mean it still wouldn’t be peak

GYAAAAATT
opaque coyote

Honestly I think it would be interesting if the Hivemind does have more reactions like frustration.
dusk patrol
Sure would be awkward if she was actually ugly
snow fern
The Gravemind works because the flood literally assimilates knowledge of its prey into itself
arctic talon

I don't think Tyrannids get anything besides biomass

The nids got picky with their food recently

I will say though the ending of StarCraft 2 does always get me despite how much it jumps the shark

that is like a core part of the setting

Everyone dies in ironic ways, including chaos.

The Imperium Collapses, the Nids and Chaos destroys each other, some humans survive and blindly fly to other galaxies in generation ships.

Chaos Gods at best being damaged would require multiple god-like entities working together.

hasty coral
Well yeah but like could it be excised? Because they came about through bad shit happening
storm jungle
BUT said entities dont exist in 40k
snow fern
Activate the Necron Pylons and every soulborn life in the galaxy will slowly and painfully die
storm jungle
minus maybe Big E
opaque coyote
But besides that, the Eldar (Ynnari) are hoping that Ynnead will kill Slaanesh. We have no idea how it would work tho.

So if one is excised then decay could still exist but a new one wouldn’t be born unless more bad shit happened
