Inquisitor Darling: "A Heretic in the ranks is giving away every one of our battle plans." Chapter Master Melchett: "You look surprised Commissar." Commissar Blackadder: "I certainly am sir. I wasn't aware we had any battle plans." Chapter Master Melchett: "Well of course we have! How else do you think our battles are directed?" Commissar Blackadder: "Our battles are directed?" Chapter Master Melchett: "Of course they are Commissar, directed according to the Emperor's Grand Plan." Commissar Blackadder: "Would that be the plan to continue with total slaughter until everyone's dead except for the Emperor, Primarch Guilliman, and his pet Custodes, Kitten?" Chapter Master Melchett: "By Terra! Even you know it!"

Baldrick: Permission to ask a question, sir? Blackadder: Permission granted, Baldrick, as long as it's not the one about where cherubs come from. Baldrick: No. The thing is, the way I see it, these days everybody knows about the Horus Heresy, right? And ages ago, they didn't know about the Heresy, right? So, there must've been a moment when there not being a Horus Heresy went away, and there having been a Horus Heresy came along. So, what I wanna know is, how did we go from the one case of affairs to the other case of affairs? Blackadder: ...Do you mean "How did the Horus Heresy happen?" Baldrick: ...Yea. George: The Heresy started because of the vile xenos and their villainous empire-building. Blackadder: George, the Imperium of Man at present covers over half of the galaxy, while the T'au empire consists of a small dairy farm on the Eastern Fringe. I hardly think we can be entirely absolved from blame on the imperialistic front. George: Uhh, no. No, sir! Absolutely not. ᴹᵃᵈ ᵃˢ ᵃ ᶜᵃᵗᵃᶜʰᵃⁿ Baldrick: I heard that it started when a bloke named Horus Heresy bombed some lorikeets out of his van. Blackadder: I think you mean it started when Horus Luprecal virus bombed the loyalist Astartes at Istvaan. Baldrick: No, there was definitely a van involved, sir. Blackadder: Well, possibly.

Warhammer 40K is based on British culture, and opinions & stereotypes about other cultures. Along with Cain being based on Blackadder, there are two Imperial Guard characters based on Richard Sharpe and Patrick Harper from the Sharpe series of books and films, Colonel Straken and Sergeant Harker. Then you have the Orks, which are based on English football hooligans (probably Milwall fans), and Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka, the Mag Uruk Thraka bit (even though GW deny it) being named after Margaret Thatcher. You've also got the Praetorian Guard, which are a guard faction styled after the British Army in the Zulu wars.

Canonically, the higher ups in 40k made the expy of Blackadder into the HERO OF THE IMPERIUM and determined that, since he cheated death so many times (read, he was recorded as dead so many times because 'nobody could survive that' and still showed up later. Usually after doing something immensely heroic), that he was always to be kept on active service. This specifically included after he died from natural causes. For more information about him and his antics, his first main story was when he was 'reconning the rear' (read getting as far away from the fighting as possible) when he stumbled into an enemy sneak attack and called artillery on himself since it would provide enough cover for him to return to base.

From all the mash ups I have watched so far, this feels like it was made for the W40k Universe... It seems the british empire was the real inspiration.

Is that man questioning the tactics of his superior? What a fool! Clearly he does not understand this superior's line of reasoning. The enemy won't be expecting them to send their men over the top an 18th time in a single day! It's brilliant!

To be fair, the Imperial Guard’s tactics have worked for ten thousand years against an extremely diverse array of species, technologies, and magics. I can see why the Imperium is scared to change them.

If they’ve been fighting for 10,000 years that just suggests that the tactic is rubbish.

The only inaccuracy is that the way to cheer up the tad depressed guardsmen is to have the commisar shoot the most depressed ones.

well, that would work with regular imperial army squads but it would depress the hell out of death corps troups. as far as i understand they are clones that get into extasy when dying for the emperor. just take the role of a commissar: regular troops - kill your own soldiers to uplift morale Deathcorps - make sure that your squad does not get wiped because they march towards the enemy in formation while making happy sqeaky noises

Lol. This reminds of that Blackadder/40K fic I've read. Not a crossover but 40K being the future of the Blackadder setting. In the fic, Blackadder is the reincarnation of the first Blackadder who tricked his fellow shamans into suicide to create a gestalt of sorts and stole their stuff while using the ritual to reincarnate himself and a peasant called Baldrick. The side-effect/punishment of his actions was to be reincarnated but not remember who he is.
