Hi people ! So, as pretty much any experienced 40k enthusiast knows it, the 40k backgrounds (and sometimes rules) are rich in internet memes ! I thought it would be funny to share our favorite memes. Here's one that is pretty recent, and that I find quite true.

The one meme that I am responsible for:

That's a classic !

This one always cracked me up, mostly because of the creative use of the missile launcher left hand out of the Tactical kit.

Someone needs to re-do him as a hellblaster for the modern age.

Brand new shiny guns, still risky, still totally worth it.

Love the one from HBMC, never seen that one before.

This is mine:

Not normally a fan of 40k memes, but Ork ones always get a laugh from me.

the (h)armless.

Built out of a mono-pose kit where you'd have to cut and re-pose the left arm, get that hand off the same old Tactical Marine ML, and shave the left hand off the plasma rifle to get that pose. Doable, but much harder.

A person would have to shave the left hand of the plasma incinerator and cut at the right wrist. The rest is just using the tactical marine arms like in the demotivation poster. All that left arm in the poster imagine is the one that usually is used to support a missile launcher. Firstborn arms fit pretty well on Primaris if they aren't trying to hold the same object with both hands (like the picture, chainsword and pistol, etc.), and I always say, "A space marine pauldron hides a lot". I wouldn't say it that much more difficult. Defiantly less difficult than hiding the seam split of the front of a plasma incinerator.

Do trust me that Primaris space marines have a lot more posing and can incorporate First born bits better than you seem to think they do.

Oh, absolutely, I've done a lot of swapping parts back and forth between Primaris and old-Marines (better Stalker Bolters for my old-Marine Deathwatch, Primaris Deathwatch with loadouts they're not usually allowed, that kind of thing).

The thing that amused me about the "plasma weapons" model was that the conversion was done purely by sticking parts from the kit together in a different order, you can do that model 100% out of the Tactical kit with no cutting of any kind, which is not true of the Hellblasters.

Good to hear. I get a little sensitive about people calling many of the new models mono-pose. Because there is a huge different between Primaris which offer some even before mild converting/kitbashing and GSC Abberants which even different sculpts look identical and are fairly difficult to convert without green stuff. The Abberant kit really flies under the radar on how poor it is for options. Even I forgot until I built another ten of them and noticed you can't build all of just picks or hammers with just five since the same weapon bit is used for multiple body bits.

That one.

I think this sums up 40K pretty nicely

As an old school Guard player, I love that one.

Me too. Another one I really love:

This one has already happened to my opponent

I've seen that happen. 2 Drones chasing a Seer Council off the table. 4 Firewarriors defeating an Avatar in melee.

Same game, too. Very embarrassing for the Eldar player.

From one of the 40k meme subreddits.

I don't have the images, but I like Drew Carey as a Drukhari, and I was a big fan of the Sarah Michelle Gellarmorph.
