Chaos actually won the Heresy and the gods won completely with every goal they wanted completed. That their sacrificial lambs died didn't matter. They never wanted the emperor to die. They reach the best possible results, with humanity not dying but feeding them with the cruelest regime ever.

That Ciaphas Cain is a true Hero of the Imperium, and any ideological wavering will be swiftly quelled. And despite the fact that at this point they are basically key written like romance novels, I want more of them! Moar!

Skaven made interdimensional contact with the 40k universe by use of their farsqueaker.

Unpopular opinion. I dislike how 40k is a human Centered setting. We need more books from the perspective of aliens. Like tau or eldar. Also I want another fire warrior game where you fight black templars, and maybe be heroic!

40k universe is actually better without involvement of the tabletop game. The stories and lore, which is all I was familiar with at first, are far more enjoyable as stories and lore. Also, didn’t know the inquisitor series continued, will be revisiting after I finish the red tithe.

Lorgar was right. To qualify: his discovery that humanity requires something to have faith in to prosper and that this quality is a strength and not a weakness is what he was correct about. We can never know if he would have found a more deserving focus for his faith because of the corrupting influence of his adopted culture. It should also be pointed out that his chastisement was handled in the most ham fisted way possible.

The Tau are an interesting faction that bring a much needed high sci fi contrast to 40ks grim darkness

Quite a lot of Thunder Warriors were not killed at the battle of Mount Ararat and still served the emperor.

One of the missing primarchs was probably killed for just wanting a normal life and being too emotionally human by refusing to be a weapon of war aka the forgotten and the other one was probably killed for seeing xenos as equal aka the purged

It's something you'd made a video about that changed how I viewed him, but Abaddon the Despoiler is still a character that irks me a lot. It's not helped at all that the information about such a central and plot moving character is halfway withheld only being in some Chaos rulebooks that detail his ulterior goals with the various Black Crusades. But there still are some moments that were retconned, like the 13th Black Crusade. I recall reading pretty avidly about the overall racked up results and what was concluded was that Chaos had won the ground war and left the Imperium forces on Cadia confined to a single peninsula, but Chaos had lost the fleet engagement and the Imperium was holding control around much of the fortress world. An Aeldar Farseer character had managed to win out on one of the Blackstone fortresses, but was caught in a trap and had their soul consumed, but the fortress was still left destroyed. I get that GW wanted to move the story forwards, but it felt like such a lame moment of "But that was just the vanguard of the Chaos fleet! There was an even more super-duper fleet coming in behind it!" I know it's Chaos and it's all Timey wimey in there, but in terms of writing: it was a complete ass pull. Dropping the ruined blackstone fortress to crack Cadia open was cool, they could have easily just done that with whatever damaged ships the Chaos fleet had left while the more intact vessels screened for them, engaged in boarding actions against imperial vessels, etc. and then Cadia shattering displaces the more succesful Imperium and Aeldari fleets that are now wildly out of position as Chaos can invade across so many different points with the eye of terror ripping open into the great rift and trying to warp jump back to places that now need defending just displaces forces further and still results in the mess that Guilliman has to try and fix by recalling all available forces back to areas around Terra and other safe zones to launch the Indomitus Crusade. Abaddon could be so much better if they put that information about the Black Crusades more front and center. And did better about thinking through the results of their campaign events. Also I still think the theory of Sigmar being a lost Primarch still works for me as Headcannon.

Weshammer should do more 40k horror stories. It's not an unpoular opinion. I just want more

It's two but tyranids seem overpowered with all the unstoppable things and stuff and it drives me nuts as a tyranid fan and how plot armor works they sometimes give Mary sue kinda vibes like abbadon whatever the rest of his name is.

The emperor does ascend to official godhood and becomes the 1st non chaos warp god. Not like the dark king or whatever he declined, but a warp god with his own domain, where all the loyalist human souls go after death, like a heaven but not really lol, much more grim dark

I think it staying in a grimdark genre cycle where the world never gets better slowly sucks the life from it and the stories it can tell. Also the Emperor should be assassinated and reincarnate.

My unpopular opinion is maybe GW could reprint some of Dan's work so they're no longer £100 each second hand?

The only reason people look fondly back on the Oldcron is because they didn’t overstay their welcome. They were essentially a one trick pony metal version of the Tyranids. If the Oldcrons survived into the modern edition of 40K they’d be groan inducing: “Oh Golly another world turns out to secretly be a Tomb World and the faceless legions of the Necrons march out to annihilate all organic life in the service of the dark C’tan gods, which Guard regiment/Space Marine Chapter is going to beat them this time?”

What's your most unpopular 40K opinion? I'll go first. Ravenor is better than Esienhorn. Esienhorn has more stand out over the top moments, but Ravenor is a smaller more well structured story, it lets us dwell with the cast of characters longer and gives all of them time to really shine. It's a bummer because I have spoken to so many people who thought Dan Abnett's inquisitor series is only a trilogy. In reality it's 9 books long with the final one supposedly on the way. They all stopped after Esienhorn ends and miss out some of the best 40k writing of all time. Then when they do find out there's more there like " Oh the next series is just Esienhorn's apprentice? that sounds lame I'll pass". I will freely admit, I was one of those people, and it took me years to give Ravenor a chance. From Esienhorn, into Ravenor ( brief side trip with The Magos) and then into Bequin, its a series that just keeps getting better and better. If I'm being honest with you, I was and still am more excited for the 3rd Bequin book than I was for The End And The Death.
