And then there is Imperium-wide civil war.

[KingofstarrySkies]

why would he want to bomb his location?

Killing yourself and 20,000 of your own troops to deny the enemy victory is pretty much the most 40k thing an Imperial Commander can do.

No... Eating 20,000 of your own troops just to make yourself slightly more comfortable and then decorating your palace with their skulls is the most 40k thing an Imperial Commander can do.

Noble Sacrifice is certainly not 40k

Noble/Heroic sacrifice is SUPER 40k, I find?

[Rolepgeek]

Noble Sacrifice made by someone else on your command without their permission that turns out to be futile and/or backfire is the most 40k thing

[Egan_BW]

Right, sacrifice that is noble, but accomplishes nothing in the end is most 40K.

[Loud Whispers]

Yeah, nobly sacrificing someone else in vain is very 40k

[Grim Portent]

I would say the most 40k thing is sacrificing others, despite wishing you did not have to, hating yourself for doing it and hating the galaxy for it being necessary, knowing that to do otherwise would damn the lives of countless more than you are spending and in far worse ways than you can reckon.

Somewhere in the universe a coin flip lands on its side.
Somewhere in the universe a drop of water saves a life.
Somewhere in the universe a pebble stops a landslide.
Maybe it is because someone believed hard enough.
Maybe it is because everything is secretly fair.
Maybe it is because the universe is a vast place.
Yesterday, I was very cold.
Yesterday, I was very hungry.
Yesterday, I wanted to run away.
Today, I am going to believe hard enough.
Today, a pebble will stop a land slide.
Today, I am not going anywhere.

Sacrifice et. al is 40k.

Sacrificing yourself for the Emperor/Humanity (Sanguinius, The Emperor, Numeon, John Grammaticus, Every Guardsmen ever...)

Sacrificing worlds/billions in the name of safety.

Sacrificing plebs to the machinery of the Imperium.

Sacrificing Psykers to the Golden Throne.

Sacrificing anyone/everything to the Chaos Gods.

Sacrificing Squiggs to ya belly.

Sacrificing your own biomass for the Hive.

Sacrificing your independence/genitals/coolness to the Greater Good

The lists could go on. Doesn't matter who, what, where or why, giving of yourself for something greater, underscoring your importance despite your insignificance in the grand scheme of things, is the most 40k of all things.

Well that and dakka.

Ol Olly Pious, Guardsman who stood up to Horus (and got flayed alive with a single one of Horus's thoughts). Think pure Mumen rider

Yeah that's pretty 40k too. Bonus points for emo Eldar seer walking through a ruined craftworld pondering over the billions of worlds they're sacrificing to save a few Eldar

[nenjin]

I definitely didn't picture Oly in...what is that, Lavender?

[TempAcc]

AHAHAH OLLY IS ALIVE YOU DWEEBS ITS JUST HE USED THIS MAGICK EMPRAH ENERGY KNIFE OT BRING VULKAN BACK TO LIFE BUT THEN STOPPED BEING A PERPETUAL BECAUSE REASONS AN-*BLAM*

[Kot]

It's Heresy era Terran Guardsman uniform. It could be fucking pink for all we know.
I always though he would be in some solid colour, maybe blue or red so yeah, that uniform seems weird.

THAT IS NOT FUCKING HEADCANON! D:<

[Loud Whispers]

I think he's in Lavender since he got upgraded from regular guardsman with regular combat fatigues to perpetual with perpetual clothes

[nenjin]

Looks way more like Noble's clothing than a line soldier's uniform. (Although I guess shit was pretty fancy during the GC.)

Still. I pictured Oly as a heavyset dude with scars an unlovable mug. That picture looks like husbando material.

Oh, hey! It's my favorite 40k wallpaper- And with my favorite 40k related thing ever in it, the poem.

Goddamn. Thanks for the reminder, Kot.
