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.

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.
