40k is a pastiche of Science Fiction (Dune, Star Wars... looking at you Inquisitor Obi Wan Sherlock Clouseau, Judge Dred, Alien and so on), history (Vostroyans - Imperial Russia, Valhalans - the winter war, Catachan - Vietnam War, Armageddon - Operation Barbarossa, older history for the space marines, either roman legionnaires or chivalric orders, along with aesthetic choices like the gothic architecture, space ships based on 17th century ships of the line, etc.), Fantasy (as many concepts were carried over from the other pastiche of WFB) along with some fictionalized political commentaries of the day (Clockwork Orange, Brave New World, 1984) and while it does wear it's inspirations on it's pauldron it plays it straight and rationalizes the choices, decisions and the state of the world. If there is parody and satire, it is behind the fourth wall. PS: if the contradictory, fractured, decrepit and ossified nature of the imperium, ruled by opposing groups of interest, with it's 10000 year old stacks of laws nobody even remembers, the overbearing bureaucracy and redundant and superfluous hereditary, semi-hereditary and anti-meritocratic positions of leadership, all of which in the name of an absentee and near powerless (politically) head of state is parodying something it is not the revolutionary systems of the mustachio-man in Germany or Russia. It is a parody of the BRI'ISH EMPIRE!

Wow dude you should be the one making a video you are very well versed in the influences 40k has. Certainly the earlier the model was released the more likely you can figure out what they used as a base, same with the lore. Being that all GW stuff is made by some English men if the imperium of man is based on anything it makes sense that it would be based on the British empire. Is there an east indian trading company stand in there somewhere.

@@Forsaken.Wanderer Place is oversaturated. With people that are not that dumb. I wouldn't add that much. Besides I thought this was kind of obvious.... And I don't like how my voice sounds. There are EICs. And all other companies. They're called Rouge Traders. PS: The armagedon thing was from a thread where someone posted a the map.

@@MrAnihillator I don't know about that, there may be too many people making videos like me, but there are very few that know what they are talking about haha. What Armageddon map are you talking about? A map of the planet?

@@Forsaken.Wanderer There are a few maps of the planet with the hives. In short Hades is Leningrad, Acheron is Moscow and Tartarus is Stalingrad. There is even a small peninsula in the south splitting the sea.

@@MrAnihillator Ah yeah I just compared both maps and I see what you mean, they took Russia and squished it slightly. Now all I can think of is Orks in half tracks assaulting snowy hives across the endless planes.

Technically the word satire would of been more appropriate but in any case 40K is neither of them. It's a serious setting. It's a right leaning setting.

If it's a parody who is Yarrick a parodying I am waiting for the 5th book I still need to read the 4th book yet is it good I count survivor as the first although it's a 40 page short story.

Yarrick is a pretty great commissar. Tanith first and only is another popular one. Horus Heresy is my fav. If you like WFB then Gotek and Felix is my fav fantasy series of all time. But like you say, where is the parody, where is the satire, what part of it is meant to be a joke? Are we really meant to sit there and read for possibly hundreds of hours and all we are reading is "haha nationalist socialist party is said to be bad in current day west haha".

My thoughts as well and I doubt even GW would be willing to say that about it's baby even now.
