Because that's not really grim or dark.

40k may have once been like a ridiculous joke setting but I think it's reached the point where like a canon breech of the whole mood would cause the entire thing to come crashing down.

So your saying it has to stay grim-derp or it'll simply stop being fun?

I mean it's not in your face about being a comedy, but the style of humor the books use is perfect for poking fun at how derpy the setting is without making fanboys reeeeee over their precious grimdark being made fun of.

Because fuck you and your shitty humor.
Some of us want 40k to be grim, dark and serious.

Because GW has their heads so far up their asses that they forgot 40K used to have a sense of humor

This.

Maybe OP should have bothered to look before jumping to conclusions. I mean, its only one of the big BL series outside of Abnett and/or HH.

And how does a comedic book/movie change that? It'd be a single product surrounded by many grimdark versions, you can just ignore it if you dislike it

Not OP

Fair enough

Aren't the Caiphas Caine books very much tongue in cheek (the commissars internal monologue certainly is), no matter how much his Inquisition ladyfriend disagrees with it.

It's also pretty seriously starship troopers, but if you want a game where you ride a drop pod down to a planet's surface from your skull-adorned ship, strap on a flamer and jetpack, and fight endless waves of aliens for a cause that very clearly doesn't hold up to scrutiny, you can play this. It's also a very fun game.

Also, look at those walkers. And those ships.
