Line 15:
*** They are implied to be trying to reunite the Eldar race but don't really care about changing the ideologies of their allies.
** The whole thing isn't helped by Black Library writers trying to give the Imperium a human face in order to make ''[[Gaunts Ghosts|political officers]]'' sympathetic.
** Some claim that ''the whole setting'' was never meant to be taken as seriously as many fans do. In a fine example of this trope and/or [[PoesPoe's Law]], things intended as parody and [[Black Comedy]] were embraced unironically.
*** This has been gone back and forth with each edition, 1st was pure parody, 2nd took the story serious, 3rd took itself so serious and was so grimdark it became a joke, 4th and 5th are [[Lighter and Softer]] with real heroes and villains.
* The ''[[Old World of Darkness]]'' supplement ''The Book of Nod'' was originally a source of stories and a prop for the setting. Imagine the author's surprise when Noddism became a cult.
