He died like a true soldier

Gork and Mork will finally stop fighting for just a second to accept Snickle into the afterlife with open arms for Snickle died performing the will of his gods, a performance oh so well done o7

Orks are used as comic relief. Meanwhile the Orks...

what about the grots that get fired at the enemy through the Warp to reappear completely insane and defecating uncontrollably

Funny thing! This story is based on anti-tank dogs from WWII. They're exactly what you think they are, and basically everyone used them in some capacity. Once again, the only setting grimmer and darker than Warhammer is Real Life.

Dude that's messed up even by 40k standards

Rest in peace Snickle. Gone but not forgotten, forever in our hearts.

What the hell?? That actually was sad...

My saddest 40k story is that of my friend, who died in a car accident on his way to his first ever game. He was so excited to play, was talking about it for days.

Bro it's Friday and you drop this how dare ya make a nightlord feel

He may be a filthy xeno. But he is the bestest filthy xeno...😢

Poor Snickle

Remind me of that Ork from dawn of War 2. His only regret? Exploding.

Snickle, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

He at least had a happy an peaceful death. Ignorance is bliss. Id say he actually had one of this universes, best deaths ever.

There's depressing, and then there's this. Snickle did not deserve this, he deserved better.

The saddest story in 40k is when some dude’s weighted dice wouldn’t flush down the toilet.

That warboss deserves an eternity on a planet devoid of life. So he may live out his existence in absolute peace. *Spit*

-We shall co together then, shall we? This death is ours. We choose it. We deny your victory.

Ya know there was an ork that thought "where's ma favorite grot at..."

RIP Snickle. You were a real one.

I can think of one Trooper Caffran, the bright eyed and young Sergeant that had seen so much trying to save a child, only for his team to be ambushed. The Chaos soldier killed he turned to see the child he was trying to help which had been reduced to a near animal due to their time on Chaos held Gereon holds a discarded Las rifle. Instead of snapping or ordering the boy, he kneels down, reaches out a hand and says, "Here, put that down and give it to me," all with a smile. Before young boy shoots him in the chest. He died never knowing his Son became a Ghost, he died never having talked with Gol Kolea about their relationship and the fact his kids were now Cafs and Tonas. He died doing what had saved three people he loves then more then anything in the universe, acting out of the kindness of his heart to help another in need.

Dermon Caffran was one of the hardest deaths for me because while it was during an assault to take back a world; it wasn’t the enemy that took him from us but a scared child that just wanted to survive and it was done with the ease of breathing. It’s one reason I love the Gaunt’s Ghost series it has amazing stories of triumph and deep despairs of mourn soaked losses.

Don't forget Angron crying begging for freedom... And when Khorne giving it... He gave him peace with death... Only for temporary before he bring him back to once again kill his foes in the name lf Blood god

Angron's fall seems so unfathomably contrived that I can't help but think that Big E knew exactly what he was doing.

A duty, honorably, discharged.

NOOOOO SNICKLE Meanwhile the orks: HAHAHAHAHA

Saddest for me is still: Did you find your love? Yes. I found her.

Snickle my beloved

A true hero 🫡🫡🫡🫡

Don't forget the part where nurglings are literally like little puppies, only to see their friends bloat and die

Snickle's war boss hit him with the most subtle low tier god

i actually shed a tear. he just wanted to be appreciated for a job well done

When I saw the title I knew exactly what it would be

This is why education is important, if he'd been well taught in explosives, he would of known to run.

Poor Snickle. He shall be remembered by us. He don't need Ork boyz

Its It's enough to make a grown man cry

Just more reason to hate the Orks

This made me cry, F

You should look up Star Wars vs. WarHammer40k. It's a really good series, and it's so respectful with the Lore. And the writing is great, And you should definitely react to it.😊 But I do have to say About this series All they did was make anakin more powerful, and more OP😅 Of course in my personal theory He has a connection to the emperor In some way

That's the kind of text that remember us why Warhammer 40000 is one of the Pilars of the grimdark. With his tendency to focus on supersoldiers who can't feel fear and extremely large scale battles, most of the time it looks more like dark space fantasy. Which isn't a criticism, 40K was originally Fantasy in space, the dark fantasy is part of its DNA. But this kind of text remi us that the essence of grimdark isn't the scale of the threat of the existence of abomination: it's tragedy to human scale - or any other sentient being like here - set in a fantasy or dystopian universe.

Reminds me of trying to get a raise in a megacorp

Honestly, it feels so strange how I read that exact passage just a few minutes ago

The most recent tale of Woe & Missery in 40k is the story of the Custodian Chad's being g told some of them have always been girls...how sad for the golden boys.

Ooohhh my heart, f for snickle

They had a timer, the grot didn't need to die The boss just thought it would be funny 😢

"He didn't cry at Titanic!" "Do men even have feelings?!"

Snickle no 😢 #pouroneoutforafallenbrother

'Squad Broken' is another wholesome 40k story.

Wait torgardon is dead?

I don't see it as a sad story since he died happy af.

Mood

That was too far, Games Workshop... poor Snickle didn't deserve that...

I legit remember reading this and being sad

You’ve done Gork and Mork proud, Snickle

He just wanted to be free from bulling. Rip Snickle.

Hundreds of sad stories, which we know

poor snickle

Khrone stopped killing Nurgle cried Rivers, as did isha Slanesh stopped the tourcher in its realm Tzeench gave his honest opinion, no strings attached The emperor shed a necrotic tear

Very good, Snickly. To the side of Gork and Mork with you.

You want sad? A person stands next to a random Servitor on a random space station, recognizes the Servitor and says: ''Dad? It's me. Dad? Dad?''

Ye, well, to be fair it were well funny ta see dat little git flyin in all different directions like dat

“Fall of Angron” implies he could have ever been at a high point in life… and that’s the true tragedy.

How to make fans sad about characters they normally laugh about.

I will always love grots. Had a mob of 30 I took to every game, and every opponent I had learned to fear them; they were the luckiest of lucky charms, whatever I pointed them at they obliterated no problem. Some people have distraction carnifexes; I have distraction grots.

And yet the endless tales of woe and misery make the few moments of joy shine ever brighter

As a World Eater fan that hates Xenos, this hit me harder than it should. Think I need to go to Khorne’s warp gym talk to Kabunga and pet the crocodile while lifting dumbbells that scream at you with each rep

I finished reading Lukas the Trickster yesterday. What you felt in this story I definitely felt after completing Luka's book. I need GW or whoever the fuck is in charge to write up a good comeback for my boy Lukas. Out of all the books I've read so far, and characters that I've come to love only Lukas has brought me to tears. I will die for that man, I will kill for that man PLEASE PATCH HIM UP GIVE HIM ANOTHER HEARD DO SOMETHING MY GOD RRRAAAAAGGGHHHH 🥺🥺🥺😭😭

"Lol" said the ork boss. "Lmao"

"Oh no! Anyway, last week..."

They need a Gobbo revolution faction

The Ork Godz cease punching each other in da face once his puny wretched soul essence flows back into the warp… gives him a nod and a hug. 😭😭

He now stands at Gork and Mork's side

Saw the killteam octarius book and automatically knew what was coming

We love a spotlight on Killteam 2.0, best tabletop game in the War Hammer repertoire

Not gonna lie, I would love to a story where a Runtherd became a warboss and actually improved how they treat Snotlings and it leads to a lot of the small guys from other Waarghs joining his Waargh. After all, if Weirdboys, Mekkboys and even Commandos can become Warbosses, then why wouldn't a Runtherd have a chance, too.

Grots like Snickle is why we need Da Red Gobbo back

Damn, I think that would even make old one eye tear up. Hell, maybe even afew ultramarines or salamanders too.

RIP snickle. This is why the REVOLUTION must carry on! All hail the red gobbo!

Very sad, but I have to say, the story of Garvial Lokan throughout the horus heresy is heartbreaking, especially his ending, I cried hard

The fact the Grot had a name. That is the amazing part. He was special to someone. Grots rarely have names. As Grots rarely live long enough to get a name. If they do get a name. It is because they did something great or good. Or...in some causes. One day, just decided to call themselves something.

For me I always cry at Dante meeting Sanguinius

Makari be like "hope they treat him "well"? The f*ck?"

He got the snickle fritz treatment 🤣

Could you do a short on Celestine when she talked to Hope in her namesake book? Unless you already did one of course.

Kindly asking for the song in the background

I'm truly starting to believe the theory that the Emperor was intentionally self sabotaging at certain points, possibly throughout his entire campaign because there are certain choices he made that were clearly and objectively the wrong choice, and very short sighted, but he's meant to be the most farsighted (hehe) man in the galaxy! Take his treatment of Angron for example. He teleported Angron onto his ship while his brothers and sisters in atms were slaughtered, breeding resentment in Angron towards him from the very start. He could have aided Angron in the rebellion, if not personally, he could have sent one or two of the castodes he brought with him. There are so many points where he almost seemed to be working towards the heresy, not trying to prevent it. Maybe his goal was to survive and for the loyalists to win overwhelmingly, as a means of weeding out and destroying the disloyal legions and their primarchs, but with his gifts of forsight and wisdom, he would have known it would have been better to put out the flame as a spark rather than trying to extinguish it as a raging inferno. Also his decision to keep the existence of Chaos hidden just played right into the Chaos Gods' hands despite it ostensibly being to keep people safe because people would fall to Chaos without even knowing what it is or how to fortify themselves against it. He set so many people up for corruption by keeping that knowledge hidden. And a LOT of his plans ended up feeding an inconceivable amount of power to Khorne! He's a giant beacon in the warp as bright as the sun, and is the source of millenia-and-galaxy-spanning wars. That's essentially like yelling directly in Khorne's face that you've set up a bottomless buffet for him, and then being surprised that he wanted eat.

Okay there's grimdark and then there's this. I have literally just produced a tear for a grot. This is why God has abandoned us. Not because of hatred but because of the fear that we have gone too far.

That was predictable yet extremely sad, up until the last second. Then it became hilarious.

Death Of Torgaddon and Tarvit hit so hard :(

Wasn’t there another story that was exactly this but with an ogryn and not a grot?

You might wonder why he would be given orders to die for seemingly no reason. But if the enemy sees a lil gob sprinting in the opposite direction of their vehicle, they might reslize it's been rigged, and escape themselves. Besides, if the ticking stops and the planter is still alive, that means it's a dud. Better have s guy there to try and fix it, or maybe catch some bullets on the way out.

But when you consider death in this universe is a mercy not all can obtain, it's kinda a happy story.

There is no feels for the enemies of Man !!!

Snickle you've done well gork and mork are proud of you

I love how everone uses archonoffllesh's art for angron its perfect in communicating his tragedy in one image. I am also equal parts ashamed that i can recognise thier art at a glance, if you know you know.

What the fuck? That's actually heart breaking.

I guess Snickle is Boblin the Goblin

RIP Snickle. :(
