Sly Marbo is one of my favorite bits of 40k, he's the perfect mix of "badassness" and comedy, something games workshop has really lost sight of. He's just an 80s action flick sprinkled with Chuck Norris memes, no need to "justify the lore" or "make it make sense".
Losing the comical side of things takes away what made 40k special instead of just another fascism justifying generic scifi but with gothic architecture
That remind me of some of the Ciphias Cain books. Those were comedy
I love the Cain books for exactly that reason, sure they can be formulaic/repetitive but they're one of the last bastions of comedy in 40k. Everything else just takes itself too seriously
Seriously you see the orkz? They have all the tools to win the whole setting. Breed extremely fast through spores, love war which for 40k is like a vampire at a bloodbank, some of em can build crazy shit that can only be explained as toonforce. If they actually got organized on a scale like the other factions galaxy would be fucked. Yeah that includes tyranids. But I just can't take em seriously.
If they ever removed comedy from da orkz I'd lose all interest in 40k. Da Boyz are the best part of 40k by far (hair squigs, need I say more?), nothing else even comes close
There was an ork story of the warboss that went back in time to kill himself so he could get a double of his favorite gun
Orkz have some of the best characters, there's that other warboss that keeps getting revived by Khorne since he's so much fun to fight
Thats like a 40k version of Valhalla lol
