With dozens of years of lore and dozens of writers creating that lore it's not surprising that Warhammer 40k is full of little gems. And by gems I mean bits of lore that make 0 sense and should genuinely be purged.

Also consider the fact that his whole plan COMPLETELY relied upon him surviving against four reality bending deities and 20 sons that TOTALLY are 100% loyal to him...Yeah he dumb. Had no back up plan if he ends up dying. If he hated the Chaos Gods so much, he really should have embraced being a deity, get all the worship, overpower them, and there ya go. Also the way he handled some of his sons (Like Magnus and Lorgar) are perfect examples of his stupidity.

I think the dumbest thing he did was fucking up everything with Angron I mean the guy has nails in his brain was a slave for all his life and just got free and met his god dad but then the guy kidnaps him ,stops him from dying with his friends and let’s all of them get massacred by his slavers and allows them to join his imperium. I mean he should have wanted to kill those dicks just on principle for enslaving his son

Also erebus is a fucking weirdo and we should have a heart to heart with lorgar about that religious stuff soon".

@@PoorManatee6197 To be completely fair to the Ultramarines, the Battle for Macragge was one of the first times the Imperium had advance notice that the Tyranids were coming and had some time to prepare. Also, as you might suspect, most of the combat was waged by the Imperial Navy, not to mention a metric assload of Guardsmen, with the Ultramarines themselves dropping in wherever they could to triage the situation. And even then, the Ultramarines lost most of the Macragge system, and only managed to hold Macragge itself with the wholesale loss of their entire First Company. I'll grant you that there should've been more long-term consequences to the loss of the First Company, but I blame that on the scrubbing of the Tyrannic War Veterans (the original answer to that inquiry) from the canon when they stopped being a playable unit. I'll also grant you that Devastation of Baal was stupid from front to back, no qualifiers there. The only remotely positive legacy of that entire debacle was that competitive Tyranids started coming back when it became possible to field five Flyrants in the same army. Yep, that's where that came from.

Battle of Macragge: Also, the emergence of Kraken, Leviathan and other fleets make it seem that Behemoth was "just" a scouting fleet, and this would explain the relatively low casualties of the Ultramarines. The original fluff also made clear mentions that the Titan and PDF legions that assisted the UM took heavy casualties, and the thing that finally turned the battle to the Imperium's favour was the sacrifice of the Imperial Navy flagship... So even with the loss of the 1st and damage to other companies, the UM got of lightly because of the sacrifices of others. Compared to this, the data provided for the Devastation of Baal seems... About as believeable. I haven't read the novel or anything beyond the 8thEd Tyranid Codex, but reading the description on the Fandom wiki seems plausible even though the summary says "Hive Ships" when it is clear they should say "bio-ships". Facing the amount of actual Hive Ships as the summary claims absolutely wouldn't be possible with the ships mentioned, even with the Chaos intervention... Though I don't think Guilliman's crusade fleet's ships are included with the numbers of barges and strike cruisers, and I would assume that fleet to be about the biggest in history? Still, with the actual text specifically referring to just "bio-ships", this seems to be an error in the summary and thus beatable with the forces and deus ex machinas mentioned. As I've been out of touch, why is DoB considered stupid? Are the issues with fluff, rules or events, or a combination of aspects?

Granted my favorite faction has been and will always be the SoB, I agree the Penitent Engines are a ridiculous idea and just a waste of resources from literally all points. BUT to keep them and make them less stupid, GWS should put the heretics on the BACK of a Penitent Engine (still exposed) and not as mindless. -They turn to flee in battle, get shot in the back easily by the enemy. -They turn their guns and saws on sisters or other allies, remote switch or mental switch that floods them with a cascade of drugs that will make them wish they were dead. It's not a perfect change or solution, but it keeps the sisters with a lore friendly dreadnought style unit and isn't as stupid as hell.

Actually, these had explanations fellas. But it probably wouldn't help much with your current stances from a year ago for the first one (This is speculation) The Big E knows that the chaos gods are... Let's just say not very compliant when it comes to time because, why would they? And it'd only take his sons and the rest of humanity to know of their existence. Which was something the Big E did not want considering feint ignorance was probably the best way to combat them in terms of the bigger picture (Which, is kind of a double edge sword looking at it now) but also the fact that he had made some sort of deal with them and kind of violated his part of the deal to make the primarchs and just like a scammer you'd probably only have so much time before the authorities (or in this case the four chaos gods) to caught up with you. Meaning he had to dip half way, stupid on his part but he had a habit of wanting things done quickly. Second (again, probably speculation. I've only heard this from majorkill himself) The Big E didn't tell shit to his sons because of... You know, tzeench learning the webway project by the primarchs as a final solution to the warp. Which, seems smart in hindsight and again, plays onto the fact that the Big E loves using feint ignorance against the warp as a weapon

In defense of the penitent engines: The Ecclesiarchy is as we all know an amplified version of multiple facettes of the history of christianity. In the middle ages one major motivation behind most of the punishments like building walls around nuns and burning people (if it did really happen for religious and not for political reasons) was to save their souls, not to be cruel just to be cruel. Same goes for things like penitent engines. From a military point they are just weird and not very practical but from the point of a religious fanatic who thinks your soul can maybe redeem itself and be kinda saved by putting you into the engine it makes sense. The pilot is exposed to serve as a warning to everyone near him and the few rags they´ve thrown over him as "clothes" may have the same function as the rags they´ve worn back in the times and that muslims should wear today when they´re in Mekka. It´s a symbolic way to express that no matter who you are, who you were, how wealthy or poor you are: We sinners all the same in the face of God or the God Emperor. But I would agree that an over-sexualised version like it´s so often to be found in fanart and maybe the model (although I think the model isn´t that much over the top) just serves to please the basement-dwellers fantasy.

The only well known burning that comes to my mind right now was the one of Giordano Bruno 1600 a.d. and therefore after the middle ages. Other ones like even Jan Hus in Konstanz were executed by political powers like the HRE. But you know how pop cultre works.

The Imperium has UNCOUNTABLE worlds which all produce one thing or another. Like ENTIRE WORLDS that produce nothing but food or Imperial Guard gear and yet I'm supposed to believe that there's always a damn shortage on pretty much everything everywhere and that most people just barely survive on recycled scraps and wield piles of rust with a bit of weapon in them that were falling apart when their grandfather used them? Like, does ANYONE at GW have a basic understanding of large scale production capacities and logistics, or the sheer amounts of goods our SINGLE world produces per day or could produce per day if all our resources were, for example, delegated towards providing regiments of IG and their wargear?

The short answer is no. GW was founded by game designers and artists, and is still mainly run by them. That's why their designs for armour, both personal and vehicular, rank right up there for "stupidest designs ever". The longer answer is that, for one example, we produce enough food to feed well over ten billion humans right now. Despite that, there are places that are experiencing food shortages. For that matter, the current pandemic led to a shortage of various products, if only in the short term. Supply chain disruptions happen. Now multiply by freighter carrying millions of tons of stuff that take years to get from A to B.

The shortages actually make sense. Production capacity does not automatically remove shortages, and it's actually a pretty common realworld mistake to focus on production to try to solve shortages. A nice example is Germany in Russia during WW2. Despite having a couple of thousand Pz IIIs and IVs in depots in Germany and I can't remember the exact figure but hundreds of thousands of tons of fuel reserves and ammo reserves, while they went in to Russia entire armies were going without fuel or ammo and without replacement men or vehicles some times for months, despite there being the production capacity, due to a huge variety of problems (ie improper bureaucracy, a shortage of trucks, theft if you can beleive it (entire trains stolen)) etc. And that's just shipping things a thousand miles largely by train.

Entire forge worlds, hive worlds, frigging planet-crossing manufactorums all over the place on MOST Imperial worlds... Uh yeah even if they were operating at 50% efficiency (which the Imperium would never tolerate btw) and assuming they lost 50% of goods into the warp (as in lost for good, not delayed), the shortages STILL do not make any damn sense.

@@RuSosan Like I said earlier, production does not mean supply. It's a common mistake to make. Higher production without the means to distribute that production actually leads to less supply reaching the destination (as staging areas for the supply have to expand some of thier time and resources dealing with being overloaded). So even if all the worlds in the imperium are dedicated to war production unless you have the right amount of resources for every step in the supply chain then the supply chain stops working. And this is in the real world where you don't have to deal with the astra telepathica not communicating directly but through easily misconstrued imagery. Or with the way that warp travel doesn't work reliably, not just losses but time and destination errors. Additionally because it's "grimdark and corruption everywhere" even if the supply system would be functional in ideal circumstances, every step of the way theres a corrupt X or a chaos Y or a genestealer Z aiming to disrupt it.

I thought of a neat idea when you mentioned the problem with the Swarmlord. You can beat the Swarmlord. Once. Then the best you can do is hope to outrun his respawn timer. Alternatively they could pull the whole sandbagging rout later down the line. Come to think of it, the Swarmlord is either the only or one of the only named entities in the setting that has no reason to fear death, so that could actually be a feasible strategy. The greatest warrior of the supposed new galactic threat allows itself to be defeated again and again, abusing the fact it can’t permanently die to study the galaxy’s greatest combatants and learn their tricks. In fact, to make it even more interesting, make it subtle (and like that I’ve removed any hope) have a pattern start forming that goes something like “The villain of the week killed the Swarmlord. Then we defeated him. We went to hunt down his followers only to find out they’d already been eaten by Tyranids. Funny, they were doing so well against them before.”

I have a feeling that the Space Wolves were created back when WH40K was more satirical and meant to be tongue in cheek than the grim dark seriousness it is now. So I could see someone back then thinking it'd be funny to name everything they had with wolf as a running joke and the newer writers never understood that it was supposed to be so kept with the theme.

*The Doom of Malan'tai:* While I agree with the sentiment, the details are not quite there... The Farseers probably DID see the destruction of their Craftworld, but according to the lore in the Tyranid Codexes, they misplaced the cause: "... the Aeldari did not at first realise that the true threat lay not with the towering Tyranid monsters rampaging through their home, but with the unassuming creature left relatively unhindered to feed on Aeldari souls." Ergo, the Eldar kept shooting at the big ones and swarms and overlooked the malformed Zoanthrope-thing that became the Doom of Malan'tai. Though from my Tyranid fanboy viewpoint, it *IS* still silly that a single injured hiveship could take out a Craftworld, even a small one, by itself. It is also stupid that the Zoanthrope/DoM could feed on the souls of the Infinity Circuit to become stronger... There is no basis for that in other lore, as the psychic Tyranids simply seem to channel the power of the Hive Mind, not drain psychic power from other sources like leeches (though this could be a new, experimental bioform). While there are Tyranids in lore that do digest minerals those are part of the process of devouring a world, though it has been suggested that these could be Screamer-Killer 'Fexes or variants of large burrowing creatures like Mawlocs or Trygons repurposed after a world has been fought into submission... But nothing in the lore has pointed to Zoanthropes being capable of doing something like that, nevermind that eating a spirit stone would likely only net the Tyranid organism whatever material the thing was made of, and the soul AFAIK would be released, ending up at Slaanesh's doorstep... As for how come this thing has never been seen again... As I've read, GW wrote a lot of the 5thEd Tyranid characters out in 6thEd because they forgot to copyright them and other modelmakers came out with models before GW could, or something similar (though it seems unlikely considering the rabidity of GW and copyrights). DoM was mentioned in 6th, but it didn't have any stats as I recall so it just became a part of fluff. It could be surmised that the 8thEd Maleceptor is the current incarnation of the DoM concept-wise (though definitely beefier) but it hasn't been verified in any fluff connections I'm aware of, possibly because GW realized how stupid DoM was... But as long as they don't officially retcon it, it'll stay on the internet timelines and wikis. =/ *Speaking of stupid things:* How about that time Catachans fought a Tyranid horde planet-side for seven years before beating the swarm, their 'Nid-hunter specialists drenching themselves in Tyranid innards and becoming "invisible" to the Tyranids... It seems clear that this wasn't a full-blown Hive Fleet invasion though as the Tyranid fleet would be bioforming the world with feeder organisms that wouldn't care about eating something that seems like a dead Tyranid organism to be digested and repurposed (More 'mass for the pools!), nevermind the airborne toxins and spores which would also make such a guerilla tactic extremely unlikely to work, at best, in such a case. Still, they do mention Lictors which very much should be able to pick up on all the human scents (NVM urine and feces) the Catachans would still be emitting and leaving behind amidst the drying&decaying Tyranid ichor&guts (which as I recall are somewhat poisonous in and of themselves)? Or did they just pack all of that up and carry it with them for safe disposal? Does the body oil Catachans use absorb their BO and work as an antitoxin as well as protect from bullets and lasers? =D Though to be honest the details are mostly vague and seem to indicate that there was a larger Catachan army present, and a "Tyranid horde/swarm" without reproductive&bioforming creatures or space support probably could be fought off... Still, both trying to become immune to Tyranid toxins (which can overpower _Space Marines_ according to fluff) and avoiding Lictors for any length of time both seem exercises in futility, given what is known about these topics, though a lack f Synapse oversight (as the details suggest) might account for lack of efficiency among the Lictors. Catachan Codex, 3rdEd, page 6: "Catachan XVIII 'Swamprats'". At least the more recent "Stonetooth" Harker story about crushing a Ravener's neck with his bicep is obvious "propaganda" even with the insistence it isn't, as Harker was the sole survivor of that outing and I doubt many would openly accuse Harker of lying to his face. =D Still, both DoM and the Catachan examples belong to the same category of issue that GW has probably repeated in pretty much every Codex before and after: Writing about some impossibly cool victory as an attempt to drum up exactly how great and awesome said army is, but said story being literally impossible with the usually meager facts given when you consider most of the accepted fluff and backstory. That's something GW _really_ needs to get rid of (or make clear in writing style that it is likely propaganda), because as stated, it cheapens both armies. While it could be argued that in-universe most other races/armies put a positive propaganda spin on the stories told about them in their Codex, that just doesn't work with the Tyranid as there is no reason for it to colour what has truly happened and thus this underlines the stupidity of the Malan'tai story. Necrons would be another faction that probably wouldn't need propaganda. *Marneus Calgar:* I'm hoping a specialized Lictor assassin-form hunts down and kills his OP ass sometime soon... Though given how many enemies he and the Ultrasmurfs have effortlessly bested during the years, there's probably a queue for that position. xD But yes, there definitely would be need of something with such dramatic impact to make the Ultramarines less of the Gary Stu joke they've been.

Am I correct in saying that the Chaos faction can literally will resources into existence within the warp? Something about the Chaos Gods being able to create new worlds with just a thought or something. And time within the warp is like the time chamber from DBZ where a day in our reality is a year in theirs. So when the Chaos faction can create theoretical insurmountable amounts of ammunition and supplies within technically a single day, how do these guys EVER lose battles of attrition?
