40k is crazy good (hexbear.net)

Got deep into WH40k lore and this has to be the most batshit insane piece of fiction I've read. Everything about it is so absurd that it loops to become great.

How I yearn for the days of Rogue Trader.

I'm so hyped for Rogue Trader considering it's Owlcat making it. Next up I want a Larian 40k game.

Chuds may not like it but the ideal space marine army is painted in gaudy camo and has at least 20 instances of the word kill written in big blocky letters on their armour.

The pinnacle of imperial guard generalship is sending millions of largely untrained fanatic conscripts to their meaningless deaths because choking tyrannid war beasts to death under a mountain of human corpses upholds the glory of the emprah!

I saw someone say that guardsmen are all trained to the standard of navy seals of some bs and it really made it clear how long it's been since a conscript army really went to war.

My favourite 40k quote is the one by a Kreig guardsman explaining his illiteracy

I haven't seen that one. Do you have a link?

I think it’s this one

“Nah, soon as you're old enough you're sent to join the regiment. Colonel Stagler don't approve of educated men, says it was educated men that got Krieg bombed to shit in the first place. The colonel says that all a man needs to do is fight and die. That's the Krieg way.”
