when khorne daemons board an ork ship in the warp
This image is older than some people talking about 40k on tumblr. I think this happened in 3e which was over 20 years ago.

i think theres alot of (good!) criticism of how alot of space exploration (especially humans in space) is less useful than (ex) putting up some robot and having humans control it but have you considered: we gotta put a guy on there. so we can have a guy up there
i never see people who believe this arguing against the myths about the practical benefits of human spaceflight. It seems to me that there's a sort of "it's true but he shouldn't say it" attitude towards what you say is the good criticism
imo we send robots with digital genetic archives and the ability to create bioprinters later wherever they land. Then they can grow some babies in bags, decant them, and raise them as durable & self-replenishing mechanics, miners, and servitors to support further robotic expansion into space.
Humans belong in a nice safe gravity well, manufacturing widgets under controlled conditions + using massive railguns to launch them into space. I mean, it’s a gravity well. Like what else are you going to put down there?

But it's just 700 pages of Morathi and Fulgrim in their giant demon snake people forms, having the nastiest, sweatiest, mo- *GW lore-writer with a 50.cal sniper rifle kills me.*
Ok like: this is a VERY nerdy response to this but:
About a year ago now, GamesWorkshop reworked the rules for their Tabletop Wargame, Warhammer 40k, in its 10th Edition, making sweeping changes to simplify the play-experience and make it more approachable. Just last month they released a "balance patch" for it which radically changed some core mechanics to try and make the game more balanced.
One of the changes? Adding a 2in movement penalty to pivoting with Titanic-size models because ppl were "wiggling" their Titans across the map to get extra move-distance while staying technically within their move-allowance JUST LIKE THESE FUCKING LIZARDS ARE DOING XD
Physics, Dear Readers: Physics uwu uwu
While I understand the reasons for it being due to both the setting being newer than Warhammer 40K and also the ill-will from The End Times...
...I feel like it's a minor tragedy that nobody outside of that scene talks about how Warhammer Age of Sigmar has an entire faction that collects bone taxes for the skeleton war.
Like, that's not even an exaggeration, that is literally what the Ossiarch Bonereapers do!
I need more information about this.
Nagash the god of death, wanted his own sigmarines so he threw stacked a bunch of bones in a trenchcoat and made bonemarines, but now he's out of bones so he sent them out to collect bones. They usaly take the bones of your already dead and buried family members in a village, but if the bone tax man comes and you end up short on your bone taxes the bone IRS kills you and take the wet ones in your body. But as long as you make sure you save your deads bones youl be fine, they are even kinda incentivesed to keep you safe from other threats.......... The same way the Shepard keeps his flock safe.........until the slaughter
You pretty much hit it on the head, tho I will add that their greatest general has a ridiculous bone codpiece:
Like, due to the cool exoskeletal nature of the faction they had every possible excuse to make some sort of bone tiddy lady as the main character, but while I'd be deeply pleased if they did that someday (because y'all know me), I deeply respect the fact they didn't do that and went with Comically Big Boner first.
This is the Bone IRS for the record.
He shows up and requests you pay your bone tax.
Also the bones and souls can be continually reshaped and reformed.
Riders, horses, siege machinery, monsters are all made from the same raw materials. So if you fail as a rider, you might get demoted to be the steed next time.
Also there are different factions and one of them literally just exists to explode at the slightest provocation and that has given them depression
Encounter: the Bone Tax Man
i seem to have accidentally searched for some kind of god or monster of some sort

The heraldry thing was 100% intentional
Warhammer AoS has Plague Doctors now.
And they’re weaponized. In a world where diseases take the form of towering antlered giants who wield giant rusting swords and chuckle as they spew face-melting bile on you, you might as well arm the plague doctors.
