The Imperium Is Driven by Hate. Warhammer Is Not. There are no goodies in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. None. Especially not the Imperium of Man. Its numberless legions of soldiers and zealots bludgeon their way across the galaxy, delivering death to anyone and anything that doesn't adhere to their blinkered view of purity. Almost every man and woman toils in misery either on the battlefield - where survival is measured in hours - or in the countless manufactorums and hive slums that fuel the Imperial war machine. All of this in slavish servitude to the living corpse of a God-Emperor whose commandments are at best only half-remembered, twisted by time and the fallibility of Humanity. Warhammer 40,000 isn't just grimdark. It's the grimmest, darkest. The Imperium of Man stands as a cautionary tale of what could happen should the very worst of Humanity's lust for power and extreme, unyielding xenophobia set in. Like so many aspects of Warhammer 40,000, the Imperium of Man is satirical. For clarity: satire is the use of humour, irony, or exaggeration, displaying people's vices or a system's flaws for scorn, derision, and ridicule. Something doesn't have to be wacky or laugh-out-loud funny to be satire. The derision is in the setting's amplification of a tyrannical, genocidal regime, turned up to 11. The Imperium is not an aspirational state, outside of the in-universe perspectives of those who are slaves to its systems. It's a monstrous civilisation, and its monstrousness is plain for all to see.

"Ew, get away from me you pathetic mortal. I hope you die in the most painful way possible." "Don't worry citizen, me and my brothers will lay down our lives to protect you and your family."

60 million years ago: "Our lifes are suffering due to diseases, could you please spare some of your high-tech medicine?" "Lol nope!" "Fine, we'll just turn into killer robots to destroy you at the cost of our souls!" "F***!" Grimdarkness of the Future "Our lifes are suffering due to diseases, could you please spare some of your high-tech "Sure, for the Greater Good!" medicine?"

What it's like to appreciate one of the frustrating chapters. | /r/grimdank

I'm really starting to like the Iron Hands. Someone has to. They betrayed Meduson. They left the Catachans to die. They opened fire on the Raven Guard. A load of them were corrupted by Slaanesh and they're basically a puppet Chapter for the Mechanicus. They're a bunch of d------- idiots who don't even let the humans on their world build walls. I already said I liked them. You don't need to keep selling them.
