Though a bleak and horrifying future, [[Warhammer 4000040,000]] is not without humor. Usually of the gallows kind.
 
* The entirety of the [[Ciaphas Cain]] series.
Line 27:
*** "There is no such thing as an honest alien breed, but the tau are more dishonourable than any other." ("...potentially intelligent species.") [Paragraph about the tau using propaganda] "Remember: the tau lie and [[Language Equals Thought|have no words for 'honour' and 'truth']]." ("...could be negotiated with.")
* The [[Night Lords]] Novel ''Soul Hunter'' has First Claw marine Cyrion is a [[Deadpan Snarker]] of such magnificent quality. During a deployment to besiege a Forge City, the squad leader {{spoiler|Talos suffers a seizure and psychic vision and they abort their drop til he recovers. When the Exalted demands that they go into battle, Cyrion sarcastically comments that the Squad Gunship is still available and the Exalted can use that if he wants a closer look.}}
* From the Dark Eldar 5th Edition Codex: "Asdrubael Vect tricks his would-be rival Archon Kelithresh into opening a casket that has ostensibly been presented as a tithe. Held precariously in the collapsing field of the casket is the unstable essence of a black hole. Kelithresh's entire realm is plunged into a yawning, howling, vortex."
** Pretty much any way [[Magnificent Bastard|Vect]] gets rid of his enemies. The death of High Archon Kraillath, killed by a "stray blast from a dark lance". ''"Stray"'' blast from a ''dark lance''.
* No mention of the Orks yet? The comic relief army of the universe is rife with hilarity. This tropers favourite being the description of the Ork Pulsa Rokkit from the Apocalypse Reload expansion, which describes the warhead as a device that "generates and unstable forcefield bordering on contradictory physics"..."The orks like to encourage [its] destabilistation by loading it into a missile and firing it at the enemy"
