Heya,
(Hope this goes here with background since it's kind of about it, if not please excuse and move it)

So I was reading some warhammer 40k background stuff and came across Perturabo, the Iron Warrior primarch, who built a giant fortress for the Imperial Fists to take. So after long and bloody fighting the Imperial Fists breach the Fortress... only to find that the fortress was empty all along and basically just another open killing field full of entrenched Iron Warriors. Right there I stopped and thought "Perturabo, what a Troll!" and just imagined the primarch going "U mad Dorn?". This made me think of other Fluff trolls like the Deceiver (who probably trolls people on a regular basis), but especially when in form of a planetary governor (if I remember correctly) who gets stabbed by a Callidus assassin and just absorbs her C'tan phase sword and goes "U mad?" (before slicing her in tiny pieces).

So I ask you, do you know of any other trolls in the Warhammer 40k universe?

Cato Sicarius constantly trolls Sergeant Scipio...

Perturabo is the biggest troll in 40k lore, he is so much successful that his little "joke" left Dorn a broken man.

Calgar is a troll to, doing incredible things from time to time ( like beathing Avatar of Kaine to death ).

We could also count Mephiston here, aldo I think he is just show of ( tearing trough entire Tyranid force up to the Alpha Tyrant using only his hands, also tearing Carnifex in cc with bare hands ).

And then we have O'Kais from "Fire Warrior" who is basically Tau mix of Rambo, Stalone, Arnold and John Mclain.

Black Templars and Space Wolves are constantly trolling Inquisition.

etc.....

Got any details? Not too familiar with Sicarius, though people all over the forum keep calling him a giant d***. I'll have to look into that

OT: Just quickly looked over Lukas the Trickster and he seems to be an ultimate troll (evidence nr.1 "luring a lord of the Word Bearers into making planetfall upon thin ice, resulting in hundreds of Traitor Marines plunging to their death into the Sea of Lost Souls" from the lexicanum), gonna see if I find some more stuff

Some spoilers for the AoBR book and Chapter's Due.

Lucius dies in agonising pleasure, only for the person that killed him to look in the mirror a few days later, seeing their face wearing that unmistakable grin.

I didn't realize that tactical and strategic deception was considered 'trolling'. Quick someone dig up Sun Tzu's body and tell him that he got it wrong when he wrote the Art of War over 2000 years ago!

Hi, my name is eldrad, I'll be leaving now.

What a dick.

I rest my case.

Tzeentch: Just as planned.

Slaanesh. You think she's a woman, then you find out the ugly truth.

Or vice versa.

Emperor's Children. Instead of participating in the siege of terra, they trolled all the civilians.

CREEEEEED!!!
Ruining your tea parties since 975. M41

This is seriously not funny. People died, in worst deaths, by millions...

Thankfully, their horrendous and terrible deaths were all fictitious. As well as the rape, torture, and experimentation they endured. Thankfully, it all never really happened so I can make fun of it.

It is pretty funny to be fair...

Spoiler:

Was it funny when London burned this year?

It kinda was...
You should have heard some of the jokes.
'The Kaiser Chiefs are having a field day with this'
'You turn your back for 5 minutes and then society breaks down'
Also the riots in London were real so it's a touch more serious.

Comedy= tragedy+time. Which means that we've got 29000 years to laugh about the Children.

The Emperor's Children tried to troll the Black Legion, but the Black Legion beat the **** outta 'em and permanently shattered their Legion. So arguably they're attempted trolls. And as you said, Perturabo was a master troll.

Now, this is funny, and true... So, Durza wins a cookie.

Fabius trolled to Black Legion by logging into Horus's account repeatedly

Tzeentch. He even trolls himself.

Just been thinking, wasn't the Emperor kinda trolling Angron? Instead of just teleporting down from his ship and saving Angron and all of his friends, just letting them duke it out and then get to him or just assist Angron from Orbit with his ships, he beams Angron up and says "Lol your friends are now dying and you can't do sh*t. U MAD?"
And what's up with Eldrad? Aren't Eldar way too wanna-be tragic to be trollin?

Draigo likes to trollololol Daemons

The biggest troll in 40k is Lukas the Trickster, cause he trolled Slannesh big time.


Slannesh, the god of perpetual pleasure and orgies, hasn't a single line about his potency anywhere.

Lukas's fluff consists about how he bedded 12 women in one night.


Lukas wins!!!

Tzeentch by far. He has no end game other than to mess with you. Also he might make tentacles sprout out of your head while he's at it.

Fourth edition Necrons trolled us all about the C'tan pretty hard, it seems.

(Asimo, your avatar reminded me of that.)
