I think the trailer for Space Marine II did a good job of showing the awe and shock of a guardsman seeing an Astartes. When they land, he's just dumbfounded, mouth hanging open. I imagine it would be a lot like a WWI soldier about to get overrun and the Archangel Michael himself dropping down out of the sky to save you.

[fadelsukoco]

The best way that I've heard the ratio of Astartes to Guard went like this:
If the Space Marines are the tip of the spear, then the Guard are the rest of the spearhead, the spear shaft, and the person holding it".

“…And of course, humanity and the Skaven” is going to be an under appreciated line. 😂

Here's the excerpt for anyone curious. It's always crazy when 40k dips into real world history. It's from Dan Abnett's Pariah.

‘Let me show you this, ’ he insisted, before I left. A trio of small, beige items came out of a cabinet and were laid out on a cloth. They had been white once, but age had darkened them like bone. Their surfaces were worn, but I could still make out the trace of silver on the engine bells, and the red markings along the fuselage.

‘Toys?’ I said.

He nodded.

‘Playthings. Models made for a child’s amusement.’

‘They are of weapon rockets? Missiles?’

‘Rockets, ’ he said. ‘For spaceflight. Don’t look so surprised, Mamzel Raeside. The first steps from Terra were said to have been taken using chemical rockets.’

‘I am aware of history, sir, even though the detail of the oldest eras is lost in the mists. But really? Vehicles this crude?’

He smiled again.

‘I do not think they ever flew, ’ he said. ‘I think these are simplified models of possible machines. A primitive idea of flight. But I show them to you because of their age. Your employer is very fond of the oldest things.’

‘How old?’ I asked.

‘It can only be estimated, ’ he said. ‘They pre-date the ages of Strife and Technology. I think they come from the Pre-System Age, from the first millennium of the Age of Terra.’

‘What? Thirty-eight or thirty-nine thousand years ago?’

‘Perhaps. Vessels like this first took our species into the unknown, ’ he said. ‘They first took us Blackwards. The family name behind this business comes from that outward urge.’

‘I think my employer will appreciate these, ’ I said. ‘What price do you ask?’

‘I will write it down, ’ he said.

‘And the markings on the side of the rocket ships, ’ I asked. ‘The letters in red? What does C.C.C.P. mean?’

‘No one knows that, ’ he said. ‘No one remembers any more.’

I have a brother who works in coding. And if I have learned anything from him, it's the fact that entire field is probably only a few decades away from donning red robes and talking to the computer's machine spirit in a prayer written in binary.

[LasseROM]

"Primaris is not replacing First Born"
*Then proceeds to explain how First Borns are turned into Primaris and all new marines are Primaris.*
Had they just gone "This is true scale marines in Mrk 10 armour" people wouldn't have thrown a fit.

[Ink_Different]

I gotta say, I really liked the fact that when Omegan asked “you intend to keep me in the shadows?” Alpharius responds “or you me.” at first I thought he was doing it to save himself, but after admitting he could be the one in the shadows, it showed it truly was just a tactical idea.

[HeribertoEstolano]

I've heard worst than numbrer 7: That the Warhammer Fantasy universe happens AFTER 40k.

[briantarigan]

reading about the governance of the imperium itself for the first time also makes me realize that life in the imperium is very much depends on what planet you came from, from each planet in the imperium, imperium at large only requires you to pay your designated tithe and stay loyal, they don't give af about how you govern your own planet, imperium is so vast that conducting centralize rule from Terra is impossible, hell Imperium can't even enforce common currency throughout it's realm

you can either be born in a civilized planet where your life is valued, your administratum cares about you and your life is overall good, or you can be born on a knight world orfeudal world, where your life would be simple but pretty fulfilling, or you can be born in a soul grinder that is lower class of hive world or daily struggle for survival in a feral world, all are possible

[subzeropl]

I think I found one lie GW wants us to belive and that is "price increase"

[linkmaxwell]

I used to just see Salamanders as "the flamethrower guys". Then I started learning more and really vibed with their philosophy of sacrifice to protect the helpless and maintaining more of their humanity than other chapters. Now they're my favorite chapter!

Also, Brooks does a great job balancing the humor of orks with how terrifyingly brutal and destructive they can be.

[Bobrob]

There was a time when Fantasy was part of the 40k universe. It didn't last long but there was a short story of a Space Marine (Kaldor Draigo) landing on the planet as well as a GSC finding it also. Currently the two are in completely different universes and the aforementioned stories were retconned.

[gavinziozios]

The two theories I've heard is that Fantasy is another planet in 40k, and that 40k is actually a pocket dimension in a bottle created by a wizard in Fantasy

[hitnfgsbluntd]

Misconception: Alpharius is not dead. On Pluto, Dorn was fighting a legionnaire while a 5-man squad was dressed in those black suits' stagehands wear & doing SFX around them. When the fight was done, they told Dorn "Good Job" & just left.

[ScarHydreigon]

The Flanderization of the Guard often comes to mind. Many think that recruitment is just giving your average Joe/Jane a Lasgun and Flak Armor and sending them out to the front lines, when in reality, Even rank and file Guardsmen are extremely well-trained and disciplined, with the numerous regiments and branches being highly specialized.

[Bapa_nada]

You're all living in lies, this setting is actually Warhammer 42k...

[Kabandha]

”No sane person can learn everything there is to know about WH40” well good thing im crazy

[Brochnick]

The emperor claiming ignorance regarding Omegon's existence doesn't mean much. I'm not saying that he was a creation of the emperor, just that the husk on the golden throne has never been a trustworthy source of information.
