the imperium of man, and here's why: by and large, the imperium are the "good guys" or at the very least "designated protagonist faction". yes, chaos, the nids, necrons and dark eldar are all dark, edgy shit. but they're the bad guys. even in a noblebright setting, the bad guys can still be dark motherfuckers. the imperium, on the other hand, dresses up like a cross between a nazi and a witch burner and commits genocide on a daily basis, all while still being the "good" guys. that's where the true grimdark quality of 40k comes from

Everything made in warhammer has a nice anchor of campiness and self awareness desu.
it wold boil down to whoever didn't read the full story of their decision on the most grimdark. because there is always a silver lining in warhammer I noticed.

people are also very self sacrificing in W40k, hell that's the same with real life. so someone sufffering to be tougher in't all that grim.

but to answer the god damn question - are of course the Eversor assassins. they are pumped with a never ending supply of combat drugs and rage fuel. then put on ice until their next mission so every waking and conscious moment they experience is a literal blood bath always. 100 eversor assassins held off 3 fucking tera chapters with only a single marine coming out alive. they are balls to the fucking walls 24/7. they are one of the harder things to kill in this universe

also they literally ignite into a napalm bomb when their heart stops beating.

>>50179958

I can't believe you are unaware of Krieg, but i'll elaborate, just because i enjoy it.

The basic idea behind Krieg is that long long ago the planet's aristocracy attempted to rebel and secede from the Imperium.

Loyal Colonel Jurten and his men said fuck that, but were vastly outnumbered. Therefore Jurten did the only logical thing. He nuked the whole damn planet until nothing was left but a radioactive wasteland and killed all the traitors.

Fast forward a bit. Krieg is still loyal, fanatically loyal in fact, but they are filled with shame. Shamed because at one point a significant portion of the planet tried to turn away from the Emperor. That they were loyal doesn't matter. It's a stain on their honor. It is determined they must make good this failing, that they must repay their debt to the Emperor.

But what to do? It's a Deathworld now. They can't grow crops, and the planet isn't rich in natural resources. They have only one thing of value. The populace. And therefore it is decided they will repay the Emperor with bodies. And thus the Death Korps of Krieg are formed.

Every soul on Krieg is taught from the moment they are born that their only purpose in life is to die for the emperor. Their life has no meaning, no value except that which it purchases when it dies for the emperor. Only by dying for the emperor can they absolve themselves of the debt of their sin. And die for the emperor they will, until such a time as they are told the debt is paid.

Every single soul on Krieg is beat down, indoctrinated, and drilled from day one. They kill each other in massive battles on the surface to earn the right to go and die for the emperor. They have no names, they have designations. They don't have faces, they have their masks.

They are the Death Korps of Krieg.
>>
Necrons are canonically the most grimdark and evil. This is objectively true.
>>
>>50180148

But how, you ask, can their population sustain this? Surely this cannot be done you say.

Indeed, this should not be possible, would not be possible were it not for the Vitea womb, an Archeotech device found only on Krieg. Nowhere else in the galaxy can you find them, nowhere else are they permitted, and they are permitted on Krieg only because of the immense value of it's Death Korps to the Imperium.

It is the Vitea Womb that bolsters the population of Krieg, sustains this great warmachine by providing it with the never ending disposable bodies that are its life blood. By what process it functions we are not certain, it is known only that by the power of the Vitea Womb Krieg lives, and continues to produce millions upon millions of soldiers ready to die for the Emperor.
>>
>>50178849
I'd have to agree. From the lore I've read, the Ultra Marines are basically inhuman murder monsters and everyone else is a slave to be used up. Oh, and their idea of "boosting morale" is summary execution. I'd rather cheer for the Tau.

First, and only, dedicated Krieg novel i read and they got the shit kicked out of them and lost. Was sad, but i understood what the author was going for. Next couple of books i read to get comparisons, and also to see how other guard regiments and various xeno's were depicted, all had the guard getting the shit kicked out of them and ultimately loosing.

Because Evesor assasins are anti elite soliders. They excell when the people they're trying to kill either attempt to fight back. Or are confident in their skills. However a guardsman regiment will annihilate the evesor. Simply because they can throw enough bodies to keep it occupied enough to take a basilisk canon up the ass. Or to be vaporised by massed hellgun, or plasma fire.

Even though it would butcher the moral of afformentioned regiment. The cost to produce one evesor assasin would not be worth the possibility of breaking the moral of 1 regiment.

You'll also notice that the amputee is way smaller than the trooper holding him, suggesting a juvenile specimen.
Maybe the scene takes place during training and the older krieger is sad that the young one will never die for the Emperor on the battlefield and expy the faultsof his people.

Krieger having memorabilia such as bones from a first kill. That could be some part of their fluff that I just don't know about. Sergeant turning into a woman when it was a he in earlier post. But what I really meant was that they sort of stopped the story like path and it turned into something else.
>>
>>50192954

Gotcha. Actually there is reason to believe the bones may be supported by cannon, though i don't think he would necessarily have the bones of his first kill. In Dead Men Walking a Grenadier squad is assigned a suicide mission. The entire squad bar one is killed. He collects his comrades bones and carries them with him in a box as he rides a truck filled with high explosives into the objective to complete the mission. When asked what his rational is, he states that by bringing their bones he allows them to share in the glory and redemption as they complete the mission. What i found is that while very much broken, and absolutely psychopathic, Krieg Korpsmen were depicted as having more emotion than we often attribute to them.
>>
>>50192982
Ok, thanks for clearing that up. I actually read the book but completely forgot about that part.
>>
>>50192995

So what was your favorite part of the book? I have to say its a tough one, but i think one of my favorite bits was the Colonel. I loved his passive aggression and snark.
>>
>>50192995

oh, here's a quote from the bit where the Grenadier suicides, i thought it was good reference material so i kept it at hand.

May the Emperor be with you, Guardsman,’ said Costellin. He turned and, inadvertently, did something he hadn’t done in almost thirty years. He made eye contact with a soldier under his command, a soldier about to die. The grenadier must have seen the look in his eye and, remarkably, understood it, because he produced his ossuary box again. ‘I have my comrades with me,’ he said, ‘and I will be granted a more noble death than this wretched soul deserves.’ ‘Your sacrifice will not be forgotten,’ said Costellin quietly, and for once he knew he was speaking the truth.
>>
>>50193003
Love how the guardsman was abandoned at the end, with the girl leaving and all. Well I guess I wouldn't call it my favorite part, but it was the part that stuck with me the most. Sorry for the late reply, was on other threads.
>>
>>50193158

Not a problem. Yeah. I admit i love the moment when it went full circle from him musing about how he's no hero in the beginning to what happens in the end, but mostly i just felt bad for the guy. I'm a bit of a romantic and even though the way it ends is perfectly reasonable, honestly infinitely better than a "happier" ending, i was still pretty sad cause for a good portion of the book i had been rooting for him you know?
>>
>>50193180
Exactly how I felt about it.
>>
>>50193193

I thought for sure that he would go with the group that went through the tunnels to sabotage the power plant and that would be when he stumbled across her as a slave to those crazy Necron worshiping cultists, but when that didn't pan out i knew it was over.

Indeed.

‘You agreed,’ said the colonel without lowering the magnoculars, ‘insisted, in fact, that the Planetary Defence Force play a full part in this conflict.’
‘A part, yes,’ said Hanrik, ‘but not like this. Not–’
‘You left the details of their deployment to my company commanders.’
‘Cannon fodder!’ Hanrik burst out. ‘You used my men as cannon fodder, put them on the front lines to be slaughtered. I’ve been listening to the reports, and they… It’s a massacre out there!’
‘They are soldiers, General Hanrik. They knew what to expect.’
‘But they’re… So many of them, the majority of them, they only just… They only had three weeks to train. Even the experienced ones among them, they haven’t faced anything like this before, and they’re under-equipped…’
The colonel turned then, to regard Hanrik blankly through the eyepieces of his gasmask. ‘That,’ he said, ‘is precisely why their value is limited.’
‘They’re expendable, you mean,’ said Hanrik bitterly.
‘If you prefer. You should be proud of your men, General Hanrik. My officers on the ground report that they did their duty. They impeded the necron advance for almost a minute longer than we expected. A credit to your training.’
‘You talk about them as if they were just… They were people, damn it, with lives and jobs and families. Look around you, colonel. Look at the faces around you, every one of them praying for someone they know, someone they love. Just one of your… your numbers means everything to them, and I… How do I explain to them that most of their brothers, their sons aren’t coming back?’ He remembered being told that his own sons weren’t coming back. Three separate messages, eighteen months apart, but Hanrik hadn’t forgotten a single word of them. The colonel said dismissively, ‘The citizens of your world have grown soft. They have forgotten their debt to the Emperor.’
>>
>>50193477

continued

Would you rather it had been my Guardsmen who had died?’ The sudden question took Hanrik aback. ‘Would you rather we had sacrificed them, left the defense of this world to your under-equipped trainees? Because that, General Hanrik, is bordering on treason.’
‘Of course I don’t… Of course I wouldn’t… I value their lives as much as I do any life. I just think your men were perhaps better able than mine to–’
‘If you have a wish to see Krieg blood, Hanrik, you only have to wait a few more hours. We are dying as you speak.’

Chaos.

From almost every source we have on them, they're described in a way for us to take them very serious, which when you think about it makes them very, very grimly and darkly.

Dark Eldar on the other hand, although having definitely their disturbing moments, are often decribed in such a way that their edge comes off as so absurd it becomes comical.

Both can come off as power fantasy, however I would argue that Chaos feels hitting closer to home because they are humans with actual derangement as opposed to Dark Eldar and their overtly dramatised evilness that makes Chaos more disturbing.

And if you're a psyker, they'll eat your mind and turn your body and soul into a squishy flesh warp gate to bring more enslavers into the materium. And then you get to die if you're lucky.

Also they fucked up the Old Ones and C'Tan. There's nothing really not grim or dark about them, and they do worse shit than even the giant space locusts.

What is worst in them is that they have really no point at all. No end game, no sentience

Necrons and Chaos want to control the world, but for different reasons
Orks fight because they love it, they were created for it
Tyranids evolve, feed, devour, perhaps because they are a failed experiment or divine retribution

Enslavers?
They just exist
They just kill you and bring more enslavers
What is going to happen when all of galaxy will be only enslavers?
Where did they even came from?

The galaxy used to be nothing but Enslavers. War of the Heavens sought of that.
Old Ones just kinda birthed the Enslavers with all of their psychic races and other shit and they tore a hole from the warp and took over.

Eldar, Krork and Necrontyr all survived that age

It really sounds like some omnipotent god going "Stop, you went too far" and sending Space-Flood upon them

When Chaos is edgy, most of the time it's to serve their own ends. Occasionally it's for shits and giggles, sure, but the really hardcore stuff (like the Daemonculaba) usually does have a point to it. Dark Eldar are literally edge for edge's sake, which makes them exponentially edgier

What make dark eldar worse than chaos is Chaos doesnt do it out of pure pleasure and free will. Chaos cultist embraced heresy because the Imperium oppressed some so hard they turn to anythig to free them from their current tyrants or to enact revenge.

The Dark Eldar? They can abandon this at any time but chose to stick to this because it is fun.

To be fair, that's not always the case. You are right that once the ruinous powers get their hooks in them they don't really have much of a choice, though.

Your one of those people who thinks criminals aren't responsible for their actions aren't you?

any one of them because it's super arguable.

>>50178725
reminds me of a hell-brute or chaos dreadnought since most chaos space marines would rather die than live in eternal torment inside of one.

>>50178725
Okay, but why not just make regular ass robots? It would be easier than this and be less stupid.

Black Templars and Dark Eldar started the grimdark 40k aesthetics, you dip

>>50200145
Ahh, but robots need Tech-Priests to give them orders and data.

Thallax retain a degree of independance, and are stronger and tougher than even Space Marines. Their guns are S7 AP5.
>>
>>50200145
>>50200196
That, and it's explicitly stated in the Thallax fluff that they're easier to make than the more complex automata that would be able to complete the tasks they undertake.

Necrons.
>Live on shitty planet that gives supercancer
>No warp speed space travel
>Race of pseudo Gods ignore your plight
>Create bodies for star-eating monsters to help war-effort, who then eat your troops until they chill
>Weapons then trick entire species into losing their souls because they were hungry
>Live shitty lives as fodder where most of their memories have been forgotten, sense have faded & unable to act unless told too
>Put into sleep mode for 60,000,000 years because generals wanted more souls to eat
Pretty shit life really

No you fool, it's an Ultraslow Termipoke!

The Commislow will have your head for this heresy!

Oh thank goodness. Go ahead and blame me Commislow. I'll just sit here and wait for a bit. You don't mind if I go about my business whIle you ready your bolt pistol do you?

That's not equatable in warhammer. Some people are in a fucked situation and hear voices every hour. And the ones who aren't educated decide yes ok I'll join.

It's comparing a rich and wealthy serial raping murderer to a Somalian pirate who had literally no other lifestyle.
