MODERATORS
In the way of nerd stuff it is good, bur the fans ruin in. In one of the original versions Margaret thatcher was an evil demon
An Ork. Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka.
But like a lot of things in 40k the satire was overshadowed by the serious lore material, and Ghazghkull is just a badass Ork Warboss now.
This wasn't actually intentional by the writers (according to Andy Chambers the name came from a LARP orc language) but it's funny and fits regardless so it's good actually.
(Also possible that Andy was just lying to protect the IP)
There is no way that was not intentional. It'd be like if someone created a goblin called D'an uld Truhmph in 2018 and said they never thought about the American president
GW being ruthless IP assholes is really funny because they stole literally every aspect of their story from someone else, utterly shamelessly. I'm not aware of anything really original in 40k until... idk, maybe the Tau? Everything else is a direct rip from another sci-fi property.
Dere iz no such ting as a WAAAGH, only orkz and grotz
