True, he's got the accent down but not the attitude, a real ork would be thrilled to be fighting every day

If they ever removed comedy from da orkz I'd lose all interest in 40k. Da Boyz are the best part of 40k by far (hair squigs, need I say more?), nothing else even comes close

Liberals have no political theory so the choice between Empire and Rebels is merely aesthetic

Lib adventurism is a great bit

'e looks like a 'umie but talks like an Ork boy

I love the Cain books for exactly that reason, sure they can be formulaic/repetitive but they're one of the last bastions of comedy in 40k. Everything else just takes itself too seriously

They had some fun with the British naming back in the day, they once introduced a sunlight-starved isolated backwater planet that's culturally and technologically stagnant that they named Birmingham

Sly Marbo is one of my favorite bits of 40k, he's the perfect mix of "badassness" and comedy, something games workshop has really lost sight of. He's just an 80s action flick sprinkled with Chuck Norris memes, no need to "justify the lore" or "make it make sense".

Losing the comical side of things takes away what made 40k special instead of just another fascism justifying generic scifi but with gothic architecture

I'm almost 100% certain that's where they got the name from lol

There's also the claim that Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka's name is in part a spin on Margaret Thatcher although that's really up to debate

God I can only hope any future children of mine want to infodump about Thomas the Tank Engine, that sounds like a dream tbh

This fucking loser deserves to lose his child to a chatbot and this poor kid deserves so much more than a parent that doesn't care enough about them to even pretend to listen

Perturabo is a primarch who's constantly perturbed, Angron is a primarch who's constantly angry due to brain implants, Corvus Corax, aka Raven Lord, leads the Raven Guard who make heavy use of jetpacks, Mortarion leads the disease-obsessed Death guard with his lieutenant Typhus (formerly Typhon)

Those are just the primarchs/legions off the top of my head, there's also the Inquisitor Obi-wan Sherlock Clouseau, the Dark Eldar Archon Kruellagh the Vile, the Ork Mekboy Orkimedes, and the Imperial guard legend Sly Marbo (a Rambo spoof).

Oh I also have to mention the Land Raider (big tracked tank/transport) and the Land Speeder (kinda like a fast hover jeep thing), who both got their names from a guy named Arkhan Land

Real or imagined?

There's Iron Hands (Ferrus Manus) who has iron hands that leads the Iron Hands from his flagship The First of Iron. Also all of the Iron Hands replace their hands with iron hands to honour Iron Hands' iron hands

There's also Leman Russ, also known as Wolf King or Great Wolf, who leads the Space Wolves (some of whom ride wolves). He was raised by wolves on the planet Wolf (Fenris). His fortress is called the fang, and sometimes Space Wolves mutate into wolf-like beings called wulfen.

Guilliman and the Ultramarines are funny in a different way, they aren't named after the colour ultramarine (though they are painted ultramarine) or their status as "ultra" marines (as in they follow the standard set in the Codex Astartes) but instead it's because they hail from Ultramar, hence they're ultramar-ines.
