Why would Orks even care if something is or isn't nicely said? Practical as they are, the Orks tend to keep themselves busy with more important matters, such as infighting and exciting new ways to prepare squigs.

I saw an excerpt of the New Ork codex of them looting a Necron Tomb world and it was hilarious, I want to see what kind of tech they can make with looted Necron stuff.

Orks have an innate reason to fight, for they are Orks. It is their purpose, their philosophy and their religion.

I wonder what Cain did during the months of Blindness after the 13th Black Crusade. Knowing him he probably accidentally defeated a Daemonic incursion on Perilia. Maybe throw in some feral orks.

Cain's desire for an uneventful career was frustrated from the very beginning, it seems. He never asked to become a Hero of the Imperium, but his fate dodging skills simply were not strong enough.

In Dark Imperium it is said that Cato Siarius has an ego. It's on page 65, where he's chatting with my favorite primarch while he's suiting up.

The book says:
"Sicarius approached the arming cage with the easy swagger of a master swordsman. Captain of the Second Company, Master of the Watch, Grand Duke of Talassar, Knight Champion of Macragge and High Suzerain of Ultramar, his titles fitted his ego."

Here's something that's part of TTS. It's not a cringe compilation, it's Nostalgia's TTS segment. Watch the beginning and compare it to the passage, and all those titles are pretty similar:

Guy Haley probably watches TTS and its related spin-offs.

I think I read an idea for an anime that was kinda like this. A girl is born as a protagonist (complete with pink hair, to signify she's a protagonist) and tries to avoid her destiny by angstily avoiding all the cliche anime protagonist-making scenarios she comes into contact with.

I remember thinking "Wow, that might be an anime I might actually want to watch" simply because it sounded ridiculously meta.

Pretty much anyone who knows anything about 40k knows about TTS, if only slightly. Even I vaguely knew about it before I was even a 40k fan (though it took this thread to introduce me to it, which I am very grateful for because it's fucking amazing).

Wow, Cato Sicarius is really being modest today.

Also I'm pretty sure Guy Haley has confirmed watching TTS on Adeptus Podcastus.

If he did the same thing, he probably would I think. I don't know that much about the warp other than that it likes to look at people and is filled with demons.
