WH40K nerds, in my experience; are more likely to be slovenly and socially awkward than your average run of the mill pedestrian nerd.

Which is weird given that it's a social game

When I was reading that book, I just kept thinking, "aren't these tyranids"? But no, I guess not.

Giant slicey bug monster gets used a lot on 40k (and other media too).

I didn't mind the Fulgrim book. They did some neat stuff with Slaanesh, although supposedly-badass Ferus Manus gets clowned twice in a row like a dork.

And for those of us who DIDN'T have prior knowledge of the DS massacre...

Wow spoilers

Not sure if you were being sincere or not, but I added tags either way. My bad. Hope I didn't ruin anything.

Lol I was just joking I've read an embarrassing amount of 40k books. It's not a bad idea though there's always new people getting into it unfortunately for them.

I have no evidence, but this feels revisionist. And it doesn't explain all the other slaughter.

I'm actually reading the Magnus book right now and part of their mentality is that psychic presence WILL happen so it's better to intentionally bolster it in humanity so it can be used safely. Of course, that's just Magnus' view.

Spoiler related question re: Garviel Lokken Just a "yes" or "no", but do we ever see him again after Istvan? The last book I read he was on planet but had survived(?) the virus, fire, and traitor legions.

Yes

Little known fact, while former president Donald J. Trump is often depicted as the Emperor of Mankind, he exclusively fielded Slaaneshi Chaos space marines at local tabletop games.

He also claimed to paint all his figures himself but anonymous sources say they were offered "large sums" to paint his armies for him (and never received said payment).

Checks out tbh

Being corrupted by Nurgle might turn you into a tentacle monster but it also stops you from feeling any pain so it's actually a pretty sweet deal.

Exactly how tall are the biggest Titans? I knew they vary in size but it seems like the average one is only around 100 feet tall, which seems kinda meh. They be hiding inside buildings and stuff. But then you look at any art of them and their absolutely enormous, bigger than a mountain with an entire university as a hat. And the books usually refer to a very small crew, just a handful, but it seems you'd have dozens working it. What gives, GW?

Realistically they're however big and powerful the author wants them to be, as with most things in 40k lore.

Hmm. Can orks be corrupted by Chaos? I've never heard of Chaos Orks.

Just one more reason orks is best.

Don't believe so. I think it has something to do with their gods iirc, they apparently beat the poo poo out of the chaos gods.

Are there any other instances of Games WOKEshop doing more lore reveals or retcons on things like what's happened with the Custodes?

Is any of the fact that they're non-binary explicitly in the lore, or is it discussed ever or is it just only mentioned in how Orkz reproduced and biology in like the codex or something?

e: grammar

They retconned the necrons and C'tan but not quite the same way

I remember the first iteration. I think 3rd edition? I started playing right as the Necron codex was released (and took a very looooong hiatus a few years after). The new lore is much better, I think.

Specifically though, I was thinking more like any crazy gender reveals or anything that outraged some of the bigger losers in the fandom for being too "woke".

There was a black space marine on the cover of the first "Guilliman is in charge now" book which I think caused a mild stir and they also acknowledged the existence of the sisters of silence. That's all I can think of off the top of my head.

Which honestly kinda sucks since we already have Guilliman to be the boring generic Big Good Boss for all that his coming back helped settle the worst of the flat character accusations.

Lionel over here simply removing half of the already pretty thin on the ground dark angels story hooks ain't a huge amount better.

There's some semi-informed speculation the Russ is on deck so they could probably do something to make him a foil to the other two. Especially Lion.
