Dorn has a moustache and mutton chops and you can’t do anything to change my mind.
That the Tyranids have consumed all the Galaxies around the Milky Way and are coming at it from all sides. If this were true, each Hivefleet wouldn’t be just a different fucking colour, but be drastically different in terms of biology, appearance and tactics etc. seeing as, if, they had in fact, consumed other Galaxies, the other civilisations they would have faced would have been completely different, thus requiring completely different adaptations.
Erda just fucking dying against Erebus.
Erebus, who (most likely) would get his ass handed to him by any one who is around champion level; like Dante, Kharne etc.
Like yeah he can summon demons, but her just up and dying while being stated to be “Second only to the emperor”, feels just weird, especially considering *when* and *how* it happens.
To me it’s much more likely that she just banished the demons, and made Erebus and by extent also the Chaos Gods believe he killed her, while returning back into hiding.
The size of knights and titans. There way to small.
Tau FTL retcon. They have to have it to be an interstellar presence, period. There is no way they could get reinforcements to a system under attack without some sort of FTL, simply because by the time they know about it the attack will be over. Sure, make it slower, but none whatsoever is idiotic, especially when their own allies (Kroot, Leagues, Nicassar) freely use it. The BFG explanation was the best IMO.
The number that GW gives
I personally enjoy the common rule of adding another 0 at the end of any number that GW gives to make me believe the immense size of 40K battles.
For example: Instead of 8M men in the Ullanor Crusade, I like to believe that there was 80M men going against a Billion or more Orkz
A naked World Eater besting an armed and armored Custodian.
Then proceeding to literally beat and tear up a hole in the Custodian’s armor bare handed.
From the Outcast Dead
I refuse to accept that Kitten isn’t canon.
Ollanius Pious being a perpetual, or terminator, or Custode.
The story works best as him being just an ordinary man who stood up to Horus and got his soul obliterated. I don’t care about Ollanius Piers.
Dreadnaughts that burn out and use up the space marine inside them like a battery is fucking stupid.
The whole point of dreadnaughts is that this soldier is so badass, wise, and useful that we won’t let him die.
The mechanics forgetting how to make gellar fields. Like how? Why?
the death of alpharius on eskrador
that peturabo is a demon prince
every crux terminatus has auramite that was part of the emperor’s armor
edit: most of the main perpetuals in the end and the death (erda, amar astarte, john grammaticus)
black templars getting away with killing a custodes
The difference in power level dependent on which side is doing something.
For example Titans. A traitor warlord titan one shots other warlords, is quick enough to keep pace with circling Warhounds, has all the luck in the universe and shields can take enormous amounts of punishment.
A loyalist Warlord Titan however gets in the first major combat and is destroyed within a page because they are hit by a single Volcano cannon, that pierced all shields or they are strafed by a couple of Warhounds armed with Vulcan Megabolters.
The same with Custodes. If they are part of a good guy book they do awesome shit and wreck house. If the book is from the Traitors perspective they die to a stiff breeze.
I am about to start ‘the death and the end – part 1’ and it baffles me how many times the writers had to make up ridiculous reasons why the Traitors won something or the Loyalists lost something, it is just plot armour/Deus ex machina shit to me.
That the lost primarchs are dead
Legion of the Damned are NOT the lost Fire Hawks chapter.
they will forever in my heart be the vengeful spirits of the Warhounds, Dusk Warriors, Luna Wolves, THE true Emperor’s Children who were betrayed in Istvaan
YARRICK ISN’T DEAD
Chaos being untouchable multiversal beings. Naah, they are based on Milky Way and are not impossible to best. All factions have their winning/losing scenarios, so should Chaos too.
Tau FTL retcon. It is a completely illogical and stupid idea that a war between a space empire is possible at all, which can transfer fleets and cargo at superluminal speed and that which cannot. This does not work at all levels, except that the imperium is so weak and helpless that it cannot win with such a huge advantage in everything.
The chaos god being present in the war in heaven.
Land raiders not being named because they go over land, but because the guy who made them was literally named Land
I will never accept the death of Alpharius. I mean even if Dorn beat him I can’t see a Primarch dying that way and I can’t see the actual Alpharius even showing up to a duel.
Similarly I will never accept a clean shaven Dorn
**Amar Astarte**
1000 marines per chapter my ass
Tyranids being malicious. Or more so, if we end up with a humanoid, talking character. Fuck that noise
Strangling an Avatar of Khaine to death, that and one being infected by genestealers.
In both cases he was just treated as a big monster, not the molten iron statue animated by the divine shard of a war god and was, to put it simply, fucking stupid.
