[@Rytonic69]

In the Warboss novel, there is a Blood Axe called Da Genrul, and he keeps a caged human officer as a pet. He has given his ladz explicit instructions to not harm or kill this prisoner, and even lets him out for exercise. However, the officer is constantly humiliated, and kept to give tactical information to the orks that massacred his homeworld. The orks don't fight him, if he tries to run away, they catch him. If he tries to start a fight in the hopes of goading an ork to kill him, they just smear his face with shit. The novel has some bits from his perspective, and it's just fucking tragic. He wishes he was like Castellan Creed or Ciaphas Cain and tries to be a hero, but the orks broke him mentally, and he is stuck as their prisoner, a literal tool against everything he holds dear. Orkz are often hilarious, as long as it isn't happening to you

Imagine if you are trying to create a philosophy of unity and progress, and then a bunch of people turn it into a religion. You'd be pretty pissed off too. It's like I can imagine Jesus, if the dude actually existed and wasn't just Buddhism spreading to the Middle-East, would be pretty horrified seeing what Christianity became after he spent his life preaching peace and love. It's horrific because the Tau seeing a religious deity of their ideology means that not only do the Gue'Vesa not get what they are trying to tell them, but they have started to deify the ideology and are creating a Warp Entity that represents the human interpretation, not the Tau philosophy.

The book is a great read. I've understood the passage with the hive mind showing anger to be meant as a warning to what happens when the nids actually gain interests beyond feeding instincts of the hive mind. Pretty sure sanguinius himself spoke to Dante before he put on the mask. My theory is that this distracted the hive mind from actually going for the corpse since they believe sanguinius/his symbol (the mask in this case) is what hurts the blood angels most.

​@@Psychoangel-d23 I mean it's a "please join as a client race or submit to our interstellar law" deal. Their aim is almost always to just diplomatically take your world over time by being nice to you, but in regards to the notion of an Empire, you can't allow other dominant ideologies or power's to exist within your territory, and unless you have significant territory, your Empire won't be able to defend itself from outside (though there is obviously a balance between being able to take and hold territory without expending unsustainable resources). The Tau are pretty much the best expanding Empire you want to run into because the actually give you an option. Unlike the Imperium which will just virus bomb your world clean if they don't like you. The Tau are basically super advanced Roman's in this respect, and their expansion generally benefits the people included in it. But they are still an Empire, Empire's still seek to expand their domain so as to enforce their Pax upon the world and ensure the Empire itself remains the dominant one.

Ok so the Imperium's atrocity is from the book "Deathwatch", and to be fair the planet was a mining world populated by 2 cities only.

For the Imperium? Only if they were useful and easily subjugated like the Jakero which are basically not even sentient. Most were completely wiped out wiped hostile or no to allow colonization of the planet. The only known attempt to diplomatically bring a Xenos culture into the Imperium was Horus trying to bring the Interex into the Imperium, something that the Emperor Himself probably would not have been on board with, and we all know how that ended despite the Interex not really doing anything wrong (they were trying to prevent Chaos from influencing their society whilst Chaos affiliated Imperials like Erebus were manipulating event's).

It was just a throw away line in the Horus Heresy that mentioned that there were Xenos embassies in Terra, pluss the High Lords suggested to Fulgrim to turn the Laer into a protectorate state AFTER they were proven too difficult to exterminate fast enough (and Fulgrim refused anyway) . Either way, there are countless instances where the Imperium killed off peaceful aliens durring the Great Crusade and humans that were working alongside them, so you could chunk that up either to inconsistent writing or VERY special exceptions.

To be fair to the eldar, how many humans would sacrifice themselves for them? When the imperium constantly chants "suffer not the xenos to live" it's a bit bad faith to expect them to protect humans out of the kindness of their heart.

[@deltatea3192]

On the subject of Gazgul, to quote many others "How is that my problem?" Yes the Eldar created the situation that led to Gazgul. On the surface an atrocity. But when you look at it from the Eldar side, they are a dying species. Literally every member is nearly irreplaceable. Meanwhile you have humans who are near limitless in number. What are the lives of a few billion infinitely replaceable beings to a few thousand irreplaceable ones? Were the roles reversed the Imperium and likely the Emperor himself would sacrifice the Eldar in a heartbeat with no further thoughts given. In effect, Gazgul is neither good nor bad. There is no morality to be considered with it. Arguably setting up Gazgul's rise was the right thing to do.

Although 40K lore will provide occasional protagonists we can root for that act more ethically than their peers, EVERY single faction as a whole fits comfortably somewhere on the A-hole spectrum.

YES!!! I love me some war crimes 🤤 also just saying it before I finish the video, I'm gonna say the Dark Eldars worst thing is simply existing

Wouldn't any of the Chaos gods either just respawn or be reborn as a new one in some capacity? For example if you killed Khorne, you'd have to end all war and violence in order to stop that manifestation reforming.

Idk if this counts as an Atrocity but I would like to mention the Invaders spacemarine chapter and the legion of the damned ending a whole craftworld. Tho the Eldar did come back and destroy the invaders chapter almost completely reducing them to 300 battle brothers if I remember.

[@derrickhaggard]

With the Dark Eldar it's hard to tell which atrocity is their worst due to the numerous atrocities they've committed.

[@reillycurran8508]

Worth pointing out that the mere veneration of chaos includes one rule, an unwilling sacrifice is more powerful than a willing sacrifice, ans a sacrificial betrayal is more powerful than a random sacrificial killing. It's actually a big part of why Chaos was so interested in turning space marines to their cause, because every marine on marine kill represents a sacrifice on a scale big enough to give them all a serious stiff one on how dramatic and traitorous and atrocious it is just inherently. So yeah, any time you see a word bearer making sacrificial offerings, odds are good it was someone who A) really did not want to be a sacrificial offering, and B) had actually come to trust the specific word bearer performing the sacrifice wouldn't do it to them. Chaos doesn't just commit atrocity in its own worship, it deliberately cultivates it and compounds it to draw even more power out of it.

I would argue that for the Eldar, attacking Angron and lowkey being responsible for him being the Chaos' greatest champion would be much worse. But in Angron's case, there were so many decisions that could have saved him yet made him fall even deeper that blaming it just on the Eldar would be kinda unfair. But yeah, they were the first stepping stone on his path to damnation

[@AveSicarius]

The Emperor was the lynchpin there, not the Eldar, Angron could have been saved by allowing him to take his world or ended because of the Butcher's Nails, the Emperor chose the absolute worst option instead.

[@DaisyBee11]

@@AveSicarius Oh, I agree that the Emperor being a dickhead and straight up kidnapping angron was the last straw. I am just saying that if the Nukrean's adopted Angron and did not implant him with the butcher's nails, he would not only prolly rule that world, but could also supply the imperium with good warriors once the Emperor arrived. Everything kinda goes hand in hand in Angron's case

[@ericjensen7580]

The shadow crusade deserves an honorable mention (if we're counting heresy era). Hundreds of worlds burning for the sake of causing as much suffering as possible. Logar is doing it to ensure that his brother, Angron, becomes immortal - knowing full well it meant Angron would never be free of their bite. Outside of Calth and the warpstorm there was no other reason for the crusade (and Calth was meant to purge the word bearers of their less useful members). Logar doesn’t even try to disguise it. When asked what the point his, he says the song - a symphony of screaming and suffering.
