Nurgle was originally based on joy - we're all going to rot away so let's celebrate our short lives.

Modern Nurgle seems to be moving over into despair.

Makes more sense to me, if everyone you know and love is being killed by some flesh eating virus you would probably be in a state of despair.

Nurgle is just the beginning! Things will begin to slowly be more logical! The Space Wolves will be NORMAL SPACE MARINES

I thought that actually worked. Showed how horribly naive the Tau are.

-Dark Eldar "Alliance".
-Inviting the Necrons over for dinner.
-Thinking that they killed Slaanesh.
-Thinking that they defeated a large portion of the Imperiums forces.

I think this qualifies as naive, and are all very good fluff in my opinion

My vote however is for the Ork warboss that drove his bike into a titan cockpit and killed it!

Indeed it sounds completely stupid.

Where does it come from?

What kind of titan was destroyed? A warhound, I guess. Otherwise, the titan's head would have been too high. But still, it doesn't seem to make sense whatsoever.

Phil Kelly's Codex: Orks(the current Codex).

And it was a Warlord Titan that Wazdakka killed by crashing into a Titan Cockpit.

But see, that's far from "completely stupid". It's thematically within the Ork camp. Orks can do anything they believe they can do.

They're the power of positive thinking exemplified. Think Ork!

Isn't all this just the entire history of 40k? How often dose a good rational makes sense story happen? In kill team 1 guardsman is holding off an entire force of tau. And in another book, a small kill team takes on an entire plant worth of Nids.

Quote, the 5th element: "Super green!"

besides, the bike and cockpit story is probably something the orks tell eachother around the campfire. that does not mean it happened that way, or even at all. just like the Emperor protecting his entire race from daemons... *ducks for cover*

I have absolutely no idea what your second sentence says
and Kill-Teams are meant to be anti-Xenos specialists, that and the Fluff marines are far superior to table-top marines anyway...

I'm just saying how often dose a 40k story make actually make complete sense.

Quite often actually.

Just usually not the ones within the Codices, unless they're the full two page or so descriptors of a single battle.

Actually that guardsman gets blown to pieces several seconds after he leaves the narrator's group.
Not sure what the other book is but if it was i think it is then you are mistaken.

WHAAAT?!? A warlord titan? You have to be kidding me! A warlord's head will be 45 meters above the ground. How would any ork warbike (especially a heavier boss-warbike) be able to jump that high?

Anyway, how was the ork able to aim directly at the titan's head?

And how was the warbike able to breach the 6 different sets of void shields and 200 mm of ceramite (that's probably four times the thickness of a termy suit) protecting the titan's crew?

That's insane!

tbh orks like to brag anyway so it probably was just a warhound or even a titan knight!

rule of 3!!



after just having read the grey knights codex...its the sisters story (not to start more Ward hate) but it really was silly..

I already answered this.

The power of positive thinking allowed Wazdakka to destroy a Warlord Titan by driving at speed off a cliff.

Wazdakka read "The Secret". So should you!

The second book was C.S. Goto's "Warrior Brood".

And they pretty much all die, so it goes as expected.

Weren't the Necrons assisting in the defense of a warp-nullifying pylon? It makes sense for them to entrust its defense to the Imperium, at least temporarily...

The fact that CS Groto got to put on to paper

Nope,
"Commander Dante and the 3rd Company battle against the Necrons Legions of the Silent King amidst the dusty wastes of Gehenna. For three weeks, neither side can seize he upper hand, with Dante's tactical brilliance stretched to to limits in countering the time-space manipulations of the Silent King. The stalemate is broken only when a Tyranid splinter fleet enters orbit, forcing the two armies to breal off hostilities and fight the common foe. The impromptu alliance proves to be the Tyranids undoing. Following the final battle at Devil's Crag, Dante and the Silent King go their separate ways, both forces now too batteworn to guarantee victory over the other, and, at least for the BAs, the idea of turning on those they has so recently fought alongside, a rather distasteful one."
Pg 16 C:BA

They sacrificed Ordo Xenos Inquisitor to the Emperor and then eat it for good luck? This must be the most horrifying fluff ever...

I say the same thing about the Star Wars prequels!

On a serious note, I would have to say either The Horus Heresy (the event, not the books), and anything Matt Ward gets his slimy hands on.

EDIT: No wait! I remember this one Imperial Guard commander named Kubrick Chenkov! http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Kubrik_Chenkov Why the guardsmen don't mutiny is beyond me.

Because, he is a scary badass... sorry psychopath not badass.
Seriously though if you were under the command of a guy who could send millions to their death and still sleep well at night wouldn't you have second thoughts in taking him on?
Not only that but he would probably send twice the amount of people at you to take you down.

Space Puppies.

Positive thinking...

There is a big difference between making a bike go faster because it is red and making said bike jump 45 meters high and smash through half a dozen layers of void shields and a ceramite armor plating the thickness of a wall.

Nonsense. Orks are nonsense.

To be fair, there was a cliff but yearh its... a bit much...
read the story and he catches fire from penetrating the void fields and then hits the cockpit, killing left and right. his bike is a monster i might add, easily 3 times the size of a normal one with anti tank guns. but still.... its a bit much.
