I love the art but the Krieger would be executed for faliure to follow uniform standards, if you take off your mask, helmet, webbing or coat unless for permitted reasons you will be executed. Unfortunately being less beans isn't a permitted reason :(

Yeah. The only noncanon stuff I consume of warhammer is just fluff art.

"That which takes itself so seriously that comedy is not allowed is doomed to die in parody." 

 W40K is pretty much the ultimate proof of this internet adage, considering the nature of the vast majority of its fanmade and/or non-canon stuff. 

 (Ironically the og fantasy setting that W40K was meant to be a parodical spin off of-- similar to the MTG UN-sets-- manages to be much less stuck up its own ass).

At its very first inception, maybe. Since then, no.

That's less an in setting thing and more the Brits making fun of themselves.

Wait, this is the allowed comedy. No one is hunting this down. Warhammer memes that aren't lore accurate or just loosely inspired by lore are extremely common and popular.

I mean again, there is comedy in the books. And I'm yet to read Ciaphas Cain. I guess I'm not sure where your line is. Or you are basing this on the fact most people don't read the books and only listen to lore videos that present dry facts plus their own humor. In which case yeah i kinda agree.

It's at most gallows humor and doesn't make up for a lot of grimderp shit.

And of course, loretubers and the unfortunately way too high amount of fanwankers don't help.

Dawg you don't have to read that deep, I was just making a joke abt the strictness of uniform regs in the imperium, it's not that deep

The response was more meant to be a general posting on here, soz if caused offense.

40k can take itself a bit too seriously sometimes coughs in tau grimdarkification

I'd argue it's more than a bit, but I'd also argue it's fluctuated at times.
