Line 349:
Whilst Tzeentch is a Chaos God, his 'fellows' are by no means outside the reach of his scheming. To which end, had Tzeentch learned of the Eldar's ultimate plan (which would weaken or kill Slaanesh, and free the Dark Eldar from his control), he may well be keeping the other forces of Chaos focused on fighting the Imperium so as to allow the Eldar to eliminate one of his primary rivals. The alliance is also how the Eldar acquired Tzeentch's lessons in [[Manipulative Bastard]]ry 101.
 
== It's another of [[Neon Genesis Evangelion|Shinji's]] [[Grand Unifying Guesses|dreams]] ([[Warhammer 4000040,000]] edition) ==
* God Emperor of Mankind = Shinji
* Primarchs = Shinji's personality traits
Line 681:
** Very heavily implied to be the case in certain early fluff.
 
== The Tyranids were created by the [[StarcraftStarCraft|Xel'naga]]. ==
They're the Protoss/Zerg hybrids, which the Xel'naga took to another galaxy rather than devour all remaining humans because they wanted to do some experimenting with new species. Unfortunately, it turned out that Orks were in one of the sectors they had yet to devour, the Eldar blew their psionic clouds away by creating Slaanesh, and so forth.
 
Line 692:
 
== The Emperor summoned the Tyranids ==
His plan was to form a symbiotic relationship with them. He'd have them go into the Warp to eat the [[Offscreen Villain Dark Matter]] there, and since Daemons are formed from the consciousness of sentients, they'd have unlimited supplies as long as there are people. Meanwhile, since Warp Matter cannot exist indefinitely outside the Warp, and they'd be incorporating Warp material into themselves, he'd have two methods of keeping the Tyranids from swarming out and attacking. However, because the Warp would be crawling with Tyranids, he'd need a new means to travel in FTL, hence his attempts to secure the Warpway. Unfortunately, with the Horus Heresy, that plan has gone all to hell. But then, it wouldn't be [[Warhammer 4000040,000]] if it didn't.
* Isn't it canon that the Tyranids are being drawn to the Milky Way by the beacon of the Astronomicon? So there's definitely a sense in which this is true.
 
Line 1,024:
The ''true'' ultimate evil of Warhammer 40,000 will be the Emperor's Children legion of Chaos Space Marines. In a future update of the fluff, their forces will be enhanced with a Slaaneshi varient of the Obliterator virus, and will be the embodiment of Zardoz's concept of Evil.
 
== Chaos of [[Ultra Series|Ultraman Cosmos]] and the Chaos of [[Warhammer 4000040,000]] are one and the same. ==
Both corruptive, both coming from who knows where, both having a love of destruction, and both will mean the end of sentient life if they win. Anyone want to add summat?
 
Line 1,046:
== Games Workshop are secretly worshippers of the Chaos Gods, and their line of toy soldiers is an evil Chaos plot by Tzeentch to get us all addicted for life. ==
I mean, what with [[Crack is Cheaper|crack being cheaper]] and all...
* Or they are a front organiation for Chaos, as they control [[Warhammer Fantasy Battle|both]] [[Warhammer 4000040,000|settings]] they are active in...
 
== Warhammer 40k happens in [[Real Life]]'s version of the Warp. ==
Line 1,180:
**** And Yarrick.
*** Great, the goddess of chaos write Harry/Ron and Aku Roku fics in her spare time.
*** Where else do you find such a concentration of [[Hurt /Comfort Fic]], [[Rape Is Love]], [[Foe Yay]], and other terribly Slaaneshi tropes?
**** Give me five minutes on Google, I'll find something.
**** [http://ikoru-shirou.deviantart.com/art/Bishounenhammer-40k-171887800?q=boost%3Apopular+warhammer+yaoi&qo=17 BEHOLD, THIS EXISTS!!!]
Line 1,187:
Despite the presence of at least two definite [[Space Whale Aesop]]s (the Eldar backstory and Chaos worshippers), there are some [[Fridge Brilliance|quite sensible]] ones:
** The Imperium: Don't be an overly paranoid racist who gets angry at anyone different or you'll be making enemies faster than you could pick up a gun.
*** Also, the [[AIA.I. Is a Crapshoot]] angle in their backstory.
*** There's also one about [["Well Done, Son" Guy]]: respect your kids or they'll go [[Oedipus Complex]] on your ass.
**** Argh. Too tired to think of any more.
Line 1,337:
== The [http://1d4chan.org/wiki/Angry_Marines Angry Marines] are descendents of the Imperial Fists. ==
I know, I know, a [[Wild Mass Guessing]] about a [[Joke Character|homebrew chapter...]] Anyway...
The first clue is their colour scheme, but when we take a look at the Imperial Fists' history, we can find some other things that tend to relate those two chapters. The Imperial fists are known for being among the most ruthless chapters of the Imperium, and as being particularly violent. They're the ones who held the last lines of defense during the siege of Terra, and boy, did they give the traitors a hard time... The chapters created from them tend to display similar levels of toughness : the Crimson Fists, instead of trying to recover from the destruction of their chapterworld, continue to fight with all they've got in one last, extended blaze of glory ; while the Black templars started a millenia-long crusade against everything that threatens the Imperium, picking up fights wherever is necessary and without any restraints, without having necessarily been asked to intervene. Another element is that after the Horus Heresy, the Imperial Fists were vehemently opposed to Guilliman's Codex Astartes, to the point of almost starting another civil war, before they'd reluctantly agree to follow its principles on certain conditions (and the Black Templars even publicly show they don't give a damn about the Codex Astartes). Even though it's treated as comedy [[Take That, Scrappy!|and as a way of showing to Games Workshop what 4chan thinks of the Ultramarines]], the Angry Marines have frequently flipped the bird to the Ultramarines and the Codex Astartes. So, either they've been created from the most unstable elements of the Imperial Fists, or they've split up because they were disgusted that their brethen would give in to the Ultramarines' demands.
 
 
Line 1,507:
 
== Chaos is [[Four Chan]]. ==
Isn't it pretty obvious? First, the number of Chaos Gods. Four. 4. Chan. Second, the concept of daemons. Thoughts and beliefs turning alive... like, sentient memes? Third, the Warp is basically the [[Id, Superego and Ego|Id]] of the entire universe, a chaotic realm with no rules and laws while dominated by various memes. Again. Like 4chan, the Id of the Internet. And the fourth and the most important. Chaos Gods themselves. Khorne represents the rage and hate-machinery of the Anonymous, Slaanesh represents the [[Rule 34]] and the idea of [[The Internet Is for Porn]], Tzeentch represents Anonymous' surprising intelligence and [[Magnificent Bastard]]ry which they can show sometimes (especially in acts of trolling or rebellion, after all they were inspired by ''[[V for Vendetta]]''), and Nurgle represents Anonymous' decayed standards and the disease-like nature of memes in general (well [[Richard Dawkins]] coined the term meme as the cultural analogue for genes/virus).
 
== China took over the world and became the Imperium. ==
Line 1,578:
 
== The Emperor and The Chaos Gods are not [[Evil Counterpart|evil counterparts]] to each other. ==
The Chaos gods are already [[Evil Counterpart]]s to ''each other'', due to the natures of chaos—Nurgle/Tzeentch, and Khorne/Slaanesh, though none of them really get along, being, well, ''[[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Chaos]]''. The Emperor is sometimes thought to be the [[A Lighter Shade of Grey|good]] counterpart to them collectively, being the [[Id, Superego and Ego|Superego to the Chaos' Id]], but when you think about it, the Tyrannid [[Hive Mind]] is a better candidate as his Id/[[Evil Counterpart]]. The [[Memetic Mutation|EMPRAH]] is an intelligent, reasonable individual who wants humanity to grow infintely across the galaxy and eventually the universe (not necessarily opposed to Xenos so long as they stay out of humanity's way). The [[Hive Mind]] is a mindless, completely unreasonable collective (even to Chaos itself) whose instinct tells it to reproduce and eat all that lives until nothing remains but (due to the fact that the tyranids are basically one psychically-linked organism) It, in both the Materium and the Immaterium. The Emperor shines like a [[Light Is Good|light in the warp]] (the Astronomicon) while the [[Hive Mind]] is a [[Darkness Equals Death|Shadow in the warp]].
 
== Angron's followers on his home planet had already been tainted by Khorne. ==
Line 1,593:
* One of the Lost Primarchs [[Stable Time Loop|is the Emperor himself]]!
 
== [[Warhammer 4000040,000]] takes place in a literal Hell. ==
Because honestly, what word [[Crapsack World|better describes this universe.]] It's a hell without end. Of course, this means the God Emperor is Jesus, and the Great Crusade was the Harrowing of Hell. He died for your sins!
* The Chaos Gods are the [[Horsemen of the Apocalypse]]. [[The Berserker|Khorne is War]](because of how [[Ax Crazy]] he is), [[The Chessmaster|Tzeentch is Conquest]] (he's a huge [[Magnificent Bastard]]), [[Body Horror|Nurgle is Pestilence]] ([[Affably Evil|Papa Nurgle loves all living things]], [[Plaguemaster|including pathogens]]), [[Sense Freak|Slaneesh is Famine]] (his/her worshippers are starved for more and more pleasure), and [[Omnicidal Maniac|Malal is Death.]]
