Dorn making a joke in Saturnine. A super dark joke at that. Sinderman is depressed because he decides he is a waste of resources, goes to the top of the palace to jump off, runs into Dorn, taking a break from the info sphere. Dorn obviously figures out quickly what Sinderman was planning. They talk it out. Dorn reinstitutes the remebrancers with Sinderman as the head. As they are leaving, Dorn says he will meet Sinderman back downstairs in the bastions a parting shot says, "and Kyrill...take the stairs." Coming from Dorn, this is actually quite hilarious and a pretty dark joke about suicide.

One of my favourite moments is when Ragnar Blackmane was a Blood Claw, he went off world for the first time to a planet that had already been infested with orks. He and a small group of allies stole an ork war buggy and dressed up like orks, the armour and helmets being far too big for them. They then accidentally became participants in a war buggy race, and when the nearest ork saw they were Space Wolves, they shot it in the head. They thought they were going to have to fight, but it turned out the other orks racing just assumed shooting was now allowed in the race.

The audio pick-ups brought the sound of splintering woods and crumbling ferrocrete followed by an almighty crash. Daellon cursed without pause over the vox. ‘Report,’ barked Arbalan. ‘Brother Daellon misjudged the load bearing of some internal stairs, brother-sergeant,’ said Telemenus, trying not to laugh. For once he was glad somebody else was attracting the negative scrutiny. There was a chuckle from Cadmael and a sigh from Arbalan. ‘Daellon, can you climb out?’ asked the sergeant. ‘Negative, a three metre drop at least. The floor will not hold my weight to pull myself up.’ ‘No threats detected,’ Telemenus added, his auspex sensors encompassing the long row of huts. ‘Understood,’ said Arbalan. He sounded impatient. ‘Daellon, remain in place, I will signal for an armoury extraction team. Telemenus, rejoin the squad.

There was a scene in the first of the Dawn of Fire books that had me exhale through my nose. When Gulliman is recruiting historitors, one of the main candidates is being arrested for being a little too opinionated, and therefore a heretic. A Logister tells him he either joins the historitors or they throw him to the Ecclesiarchy for spewing heresy. Naturally, he agrees, so the Logister has him drugged to sleep, which he's not expecting. When the needle sticks him he starts to cuss the guy out, and passes out. When he wakes up he continues his thought, which it doesn't say outright, but it implies that he was using "cunt" at least once. Then he realizes he's sitting across from the Primarch himself, and almost shits himself while he tries to apologize, but G man just shrugs and goes, "Eh. I've been called worse."

She can only communicate with her data slate as her vocal cords have been destroyed by her rads. During the final fight, they're surrounded and about to die and the Skit "asks" if the man is ready. He smiles and asks "are you pretty under all that metal?" She is taken aback by that and thinks about her pallid skin, rotten teeth, and perfect bionics. She responds with "affirmative."

Battle for the Abyss might not have been an important book for the HH series but it was quite funny how marines from 4 different chapters (2 loyal and 2 traitorous) work together to fight the word bearers just because nobody told them what's actually going on in the galaxy rn

[@WillMorrey]

I thoroughly enjoyed Battle for the Abyss, and think it was fairly fundamental given that the tide of battle around Calth and likely further into Ultramar could well have turned against the Ultramarines, meaning they wouldn't necessarily have been able to partake in cleansing the Imperium and holding things together in the aftermath of the Heresy. The colossal battleship emerging from the warp and blowing up would likely have confused the Loyalist fleet but they wouldn't have known of the heroism of those that sacrificed themselves. I've always viewed this outcome as being as pivotal as if the Eisenstein had been destroyed at Istvaan rather than escaping to Terra with their warning.

[@lemanruss2491]

The childlike behavior that the Marines showed reminded me greatly of how the spartan-2’s and even some early 3’s from halo acted as well. People also tend to forget that they were taken as kids as well and turned into child super soldiers.

an imperial army commander during the horus heresy asked a skitarii named Transacta 7Y1.. or Tee, during her last stand if she was pretty under her mask. She thinks about how her skin is turning grey, how she’s almost bald, and hardly has anything resembling eyes anymore and simply types to him on the cogitator she was using to communicate with him “yes” - echos of eternity

One my favorite goofie moments is when two space wolves got into a snowball fight out of boredom while waiting to be picked up by their captain.

[@justrollin6734]

My favorite thing about 40k is that while there are plenty of serious “shits goin down” moments, there’s enough humor to balance it out, for every deomnculaba there’s a moment where Trazyn the Infinite goes full Pokèmon and unleashes a hoard of random ass imperials or aliens

Trazyn: "RANDOM BULLSHIT GO!"

[@edim108]

One of my favorite bits of "goofy lore" was the Salamanders squad poking jokes at one of the new guys and even Tu'Shan having a laugh about it. It really shows that Space Marines are still very much human. They make jokes, they have interests outside of combat, etc. They're Humanity+ and not something completely alien. We just don't see it as often bc they're super soldiers in a galaxy that is in never ending war. They don't really have much in the way of free time to pursue personal interests or just take break...

[@CaptainFirespitter]

Personal favourite little bit from the Space Wolf omnibus is one giant guy throwing their Thunder Hammer repeatedly and constantly disappointed retrieving the weapon afterwards, hearing people going “fuck, they’re returning!!!” Great stuff to go read!!!😂

[@jacobwebster2277]

My favorite scene is in the crimson fist omnibus in which a group of veterans are trying to decide how much guardsmen they’re worth. The casualness of it is just so nice.

[@logangrimnar3800]

The irony of space marines being recruited as children is that to them, all other human soldiers are like child soldiers. I use that analogy alot when explaining the difference between space marines and super soldiers from other franchise. Where a generic super soldier is just stronger, tougher and faster, a Space Marine is actually *more* than human. They make even the greatest soldiers look a well trained child soldier.

[@hoovyonlifesupport1129]

I absolutely love the idea of a group of three space marines walking down a hall and one of them nudges his brothers before absolutely slapping the piss out of an over head railing. His brother to the left scoffs and jumps at the next one leaving a massive cracked hand print on the railing Then the last brother with his power fist lifts his hand and DESTROYS a sewage pipe instead of a railing. Turning them from a space marine into a space manure.

[@mackmind]

Bolter rounds with heavy water inside are my favorite. Physically heavy water has almost same properties as normal H2O, so someone there thought that basically a rocket-propelled water gun is an efficient weapon. Impressive

[@madskillz808]

Not sure what the general consensus is for the Ultramarine movie, but the apothecary's response to "the Emperor protects" being, "...and a loaded bolter never hurt either", saved the film from the peter griffin react of "for godsake, someone throw a pie!"

[@dakotasargent8459]

Another of the spears grave markers was a statue of a beautifully handsome man and the inscription read ",when he ascended, the men of nematon breathed a sigh of relief, and the women cried for ehat they were left with" The character we saw in the book and apparently hed suffered a wound recently that destroyed his face completely, it was only with the statue the main character saw what he really looked like

[@hang_kentang6709]

I maintain that the single best book for funny and goofy content is Siege of Castellax. Iron Warriors world gets invaded by orks. Pure fun all the way through.

[@lachlanevans5013]

One goofy moment I had was in the Caves of ice cain book, I don’t usually laugh when listening to audiobooks and reading the physical copies. But this was a big exception. Basically while exploring ice caverns A tech priest is explaining the formation of mountains and how they pop up and down. Naturally no one is really paying attention until Jurgen says “so they are really large carrots” that caught me off guard and I burst out laughing. The best part is that for all we know Jurgen could have been either being very serious about his question or taking the piss at the tech priests expense.

There's a moment in the Mephiston book Blood of Sanguinius that isn't exactly goofy as much as kind of being so serious that it borders on comedic. It's toward the end, after the Blood Angels had finally reached their destination which was a sisters of battle stronghold that was being assaulted by Titsnitch daemons. Mephiston uses some wacky blood magic and essentially makes a warp/blood storm that starts piercing all of the daemons and while that is happening the narrative of the book is being told from Lucius Antros perspective and he had teamed up with a little squad of Soritas and as they come up over some rubble they witness Mephiston in his full librarian/warp/blood magic glory, him being swarmed with insane energies of the warp and in that moment all Antros can say is "The Lord of Death" in awe. It just cracks me up with how dire and serious it is trying to be but that remark just gets to me hahaha

We will have a personal discussion when we return to the drop ship" -proceeds to flame his son and the rest of them for giving into their emotions and chasing needlessly into danger and breaking their way of fighting...
