Imperial guard used to employ penal troops fitted with explosive collars - the latter was not only a disciplinary measure, but the handler could detonate the collars to turn the convicts into suicide bombers.
The Blood Angels once “borrowed” a suit of Terminator Armour from the Ultramarines and painted it red. Now the armour is cursed, and every Blood Angel to wear it dies horribly, chipping away more of the red paint.

A little more than that. Canids also hold officer-status, meaning that striking one is equivalent to assault on an officer, and so is accordingly the punishment.

I imagined doggo in commissar uniform barking at guardsman.Who would harm a doggo?
Eldar defecate crystals They also require repeated copulations at specific stages to successfully procreate. The males needs to deposit new genetic material at each stage This is both the reason they can't recoup loses as fast as humans/t'au but also why they make poor host organisms for Genestealers

"Levi." The bolter's magazine was tiny in comparison to Levi's power glove, but he had no trouble in sliding it home. There was a click and the bolter's catch held the magazine. Levi shook his head, working the helmet seals carefully into place. His suit was battered and scarred and badly in need of repainting. It wasn't even in the proper chapter colours, having come from the Ultramarines armory a generation before. Bare metal showed in several places. Levi, like many of the suits previous users, had refused to let the Techmarines repaint it. Every time it's Ultramarines colours had been hidden, the suits wearer had been killed. Levi maintained that the suit knew it was only borrowed, and even the techs had come to believe the same. They had given up trying to persuade him to have it repainted in the proper colours.

You know dark eldars.... They are just weird. But still taming daemons is an achievment.

I dont know if its true but some time of they greater days they copulated more like rabbits (and i mean A LOT) so no wonders why they have problems with that. But like i said im not sure about this part.
Second thing: imagine Eldar having diarrhea. OUCH

Maybe its true but he dont want to die. He killed every enemy of mankind from Carnifexes to Administratum desks. He suffers from blood hunger but he is rather ok with it.
Sisters of Battle were used for sexual gratification purpose.
That was before they were "Sisters of Battle" IIRC though. What was they called under Vandire ?
Brides of the Emperor. And before Vandire they were called Daughters of the Emperor.
I always liked that it took 200 years for the Admech to sanctify/certify the Predator Annihilator, and by then the Marine Chapters had been using it for the past 190 years.

I'm not sure about "Ok with it" he states time and again, that his service has been long and wishes it would end. He doesn't take his helmet of in public anymore. (Coz so old) I think its more about recognition that the symbol of Sanguinius's face provides the Imperium with reassurance, and he will not shirk his duties.
Necron Warriors were the citizens of the Necrontyr while Immortals were originally the standard foot soldiers.
The Grey Knights sent about 200 (or close to 1/5 of the chapter's total manpower) to fight Angron and a hoard of Khorne deamons. Less then a dozen survived and this single event eventually sparked a small war between Inquisition and the Space Wolfs.
You can recharge a Lazgun's ammo pack by throwing it into a fire.
A disk of Tzeentch is actually multiple screamers melded together. The act of creating one usually kills the summoner.
Ironstriders cannot be turned off so herds of them run around Mars. When needed they are put on giant treadmills until they are released into battle.

Squats and Orks used to be friends.
Squats are the reason they went from MKII to MKIII.
Lictors are not multiple creatures, but a single creature with multiple bodies. It is an hive mind within the hive mind that for some reason can control all its bodies at a far greater distance than the hyve fleets.

Spoilers from Devastation of Baal:
Spoiler:
Dante is clearly depicted as looking for a way to end his duty, and is quite displeased when he gets saved from death's grasp after duelling the swarmlord.

You are not wrong. But idea of space janitors is really interesting! I mean someone must clean up those bodies after invasion.

To clarify - this was during the "First" War for Armageddon, where Angron and the World Eaters invaded the planet.
After Angron was banished by the Grey Knights, and the Chaos forces retreated/were driven off, the =][= wished to use its traditional means of covering up a Chaos invasion - eliminate all the human witnesses. Logan objected to the soldiers which fought with him being murdered out of hand, and that is what sparked the conflict between the Wolves and the =][=.
Right now, there is a small Waagh! of orks who fight every day against the Daemons and every night are resurrected by Khorne as they serve as an eternal source of entertainment for the Lord of Skulls.
And it's totally not Orky Valhalla, not at all! (Good god the Orks must be the size of stompas!)
Not sure how 'trashy' this is, but the door to the tomb of Sanguinius on Baal opens when Commander Dante sticks the flesh of his hand/arm into the lock, and the lock shoots needles into him to test the genetic make-up of his blood and flesh.

I like the fact that the Tyranids only came to the Milky Way because of a specific Night Lords vs Ultramarines battle that took place before Horus reached Terra during the Heresy.
Angron the World Eater's Daemon Primarch was named after the landlord of a nottingham pub GW staff used to goto at lunch. He was called 'Ron' who was always Angry - Angron.
Attack bikes and Eldar Vyper jet bikes were released at the same time.
You used to be able to punch a hole in scenery to fire through it. Coins were used as a size guide.
4 Lascannon predators were called predator annihilators (prob still are) and could only be taken by space wolves
one of the few rules Khorne Berzkers used to have was they armour of khorne which game you a 2+ save instead of a 3+.
You used to be able to fire a terminator's cyclone missiles in one 12 missile salvo, it created a 3" template, which at the time was huge and scary. If you terminator had and assault cannon and you rolled a tripple on it's jam dice that terminator blew up as assault cannons were considered 'new technology'
Latro_ wrote: Attack bikes and Eldar Vyper jet bikes were released at the same time.
When they were released during 2nd edition, aye - the Vyper was completely plastic, while the Attack Bike was a plastic/metal hybrid. However, there had been a metal Attack Bike in Rogue Trader.
Dark angels green was/still is the shade of British racing green because one of the studio liked it and/or had a car that colour (maybe jervis?)
chaos marines don't have plasma cannons because the technology was 'new' in 30k, only bulkier things like deads could support the power suppluies which were bigger at the time. Plasma weps in 2ed were even less reliable on chaos
As noted by those previous pictures, Space Marines used to have access to antigrav speeder bikes - always wondered why they got taken away?
Also, Dark Angels originally had black armor. A miscommunication with the artist for the cover of the Space Marine game (supplement to the Adeptus Titanicus game) gave them their green colors.
Wazzdakka Gutsmek's main base of operations is Scalex VI.
The chapter master of the Crimson Fists is named after a playtester of Rogue Trader- Pete Cantor.
The cover model for the 2nd ed SOB codex is (supposedly) based on John Blanche's ex-wife.
There is a typo in the (4th ed, 5th ed?) Cities of Death book that is missing one important word. It now reads "Every man is but spark in the darkness".
Thousand Sons Thrall sorcerers once had toughness lower case "L". Plus the Rubrics had two wounds, so the army had a lot going for it.
Dorothy and Toto are the only beings to have successfully navigated Tzeentch's impossible maze.
All of the Dinobots were mounts in the old Lizardmen book. The Lizardmen also had their version of SETI, called XETI.
Ultramarines were originally a third founding chapter before concerning back into an original legion that created all the chapters with the book. Tigerius was originally half eldar because eldar were space elves and and everyone knows elves do magic better I mean my totally not space elves space eldar do my not magic psychic powers better.
Leman Russ was originally an extremely skilled imperial guard tank commander hence the leman Russ battle tank.
The first land speeder was a repurposed deodorant tube.
And I am just going to make a blanket 5e Grey Knights codex fluff that was eyebrow raising how over the top ridiculous weird. Like how murdering Sisters of Battle and bathing in their blood somehow made the most frantically pure and uncorrupted Space Marines ever even more pure and uncorruptable. Because yeah murdering your allies and bathing in their blood totally isn't a Khorne thing at all...
The standard Codex practice of having Sergeants marked with red helmets was originally a punishment in the Ultramarines Legion.
Legionaries who had committed an infraction were marked for censure with these red helmets, but when the Betrayal at Calth went down, it was the unconventional combat tactics of these 'Red-Marked' which was invaluable, especially Sergeant Thiel. In honour of their skill during the Heresy, Guilliman decided that the red helmet would be a mark of honour, not shame.
I thought the dark angels green thing was because of the second space marine paint set. They didn't want to put black in two consecutive sets? It seems there are multiple stories behind that one.
Word Bearers used to have almost no possessed because they saw lesser deamons as exactly that: "lesser" servants of the dark gods which were unworthy of possessing anyone (This was in 3.5 as far as I know).

The Word Bearers started off as dedicated fully to Khorne, together with the World Eaters. Rogue Trader Slaves to Darkness days if I remember correctly.

Nope. WB were the summoning army back then. They could have more troop slots than anyone else and could take Possessed just like all the other legions.

I was talking fluff-wise But yeah, they used lesser deamons as canon fodder, but refrained from letting the deamons possess them
I have no source to hand, but if I remember my 2nd and 3rd ed fluff correctly the Leman Russ hull is actually a re-purposed farm tractor. It's part of why you can run one on anything from Prometheum to raw lumber.
I also have no source to hand, but Terminators were originally repurposed maintenance suits used to do repair work on active fusion reactors.

Um, no. They were third founding because they replaced fallen first founding chapter (and were given its arms and gene-sperm reserves, that's how seed was called back then). And that wasn't Tigurius, that was Illiyan Nastase, who was Dark Angel, not Ultramarine, he was only later assigned to Ultramarines as an Astropath.

Except that was the case in 3rd edition of GK book, too, people just didn't turned their brains on and asked themselves 'wait, where GK found these bones of the saints and vials of holy blood they use to ward off daemons'. All 5th edition GK book did was spelling it out (and unlike 4chan morons would tell you, making Sisters more pious, holy, and resistant to corruption than GK was praise, not insult). Not that it matters, Ward could be second coming of Tolkien and you'd still see hatedom of whatever he wrote
It is likely that the Zoanthrope is reconstituted Eldar, the Biovore is a reconstituted Ork and that there is a Tyranid genus based off space marine DNA, but I forget which (Lictors?).
Squigs were the results of the Hive minds first (somewhat failed) attempt to convert Ork DNA, but the Orks “rescued” them from the Tyranids.
