from france
you are spending your time doing math for every action, especially fight
you average noble get bankrupt by buying a coffe in according to economical system the way it is described
you soldier raise on a death world with a background that create a pure warmachine that will put shame to a gangrel in vampire
you universe is so "daaark" that in compare the ravenloft demi plan look like the world of barbie
they are so many oddities in weapons that you want a rewrite
your garden world is always the target of tendrils of the nids/orks/necrons/eldar/chaos while you are here to rest

I think you've been accidentally playing Paranoia this whole time...
That's the kind of game I want to play in
-The commander of a Land Raider Crusader (armed with twin linked heavy bolters, two sets of twin linked lascannons, hunter-killer missles and the like) wants you to drive him closer so he can "hit it with his sword!"
Never let anyone say that Warhammer 40K doesn't let manliness to get in the way of practicality

(Sorry....taking stuff from the mini's game and an internet meme for this one)
Your spaceship pilot, who ferries you across the galaxy, and frequently engages in ship-to-ship combat is completely blind.
Your parties cleric, once drove spikes through the ears of his entire congregation so they couldn't hear the voices in his head, and he is the sanest person you know.
Your chief engineer and mechanic has 5 mechanical arms, one of which is an industrial mining drill; he is also your doctor.
+ ... when player new to the universe is suprised that his character is shot/eviserated/immolated by others without second thought if the situation requires it.
+... use phrase "heartless machine" as insult to your tech specialist, and he takes it as compliment
+... meet worm-that-walks and it tries to eat you!
a run-in with a daemonhost and perhaps more of such stuff to come!
+... when there are two players, one of which want to play a male Sister of Battle and second female Space Marine!
+... and of course, scenario prepared by GM is about undercover infiltration in techno-mercantile circles...
+... dead people are parts.
+... when your cleric needs to roll on the shock table when drinking alcohol
+... and not murdering the group´s psyker
+... or go to battle in anything else then a red dress
+... armed with a two-handed power AND chainsword
+... that he is more likely to cut himself with as the vile mutant he is facing.
+... the cleric has more mutations then the mutant he is facing
+... if he knew that he would have to roll on the shock table AGAIN.
+ your rank one feral world human guardsman has a higher life expectancy than a level 20 half- celestial elf paladin, despite the guardsman facing daemons more often than the pally
+ it's considered socially acceptable to scour a key agri world of all life on the off chance that one man was a heretic, but it is a grave sin to admit to knowing how to read a dead language.
+ everyone in the cell knows that their inquisitor is a secret heretic who is sending them on missions that will bring all the traitor primarchs either back to life or out of the Eye of Terror.
+ everyone in the cell is unaware that the other cell members know
+nobody knows what to do.
+ nobody sees the irony in this.
+ You seriously debate whether eating is more important than ammo.
+ nine times out of ten, you know that one of you is going to die when your inquisitor is smiling warmly.
+ the tech priest, who is 70% machine now and has carved out the parts of his brain that process emotion, is considered to be the most humanitarian person in the group.
+Your feral guardsman (who worships chaos) has to split up you priest and enginseer AGAIN because they gpt into another argument about the Big E and the Omnisiar.+
+When Hatred is a good thing
+Paranoia is not just a talent, its a survival skill
+Everybody stands near the psyker rather then cleric, cause they're afraid of when he frenzy's
+said Cleric killed three nobles during a shoot out cause they were armed and between him and cultists, and no one complains
Last gaming sessions debacle...
"Good Guys"
"Bad Guys"
... the party scholar is in danger of being put down for doing his job.
... the ends justify the means, except when the means come from the wrong end.
-You're allied with the main villan because he has heretical tech.
-The main bad guy is an Inquisitor, your boss is an interrogator
-The Noble born scum is the most deadly person, not because of his own abilities, but because he can recruit whole armies.
-Your assassin ends up killing an eldar on accident
-Your the only member of the party who realizes the biggest threat to mankind is religion.

May I add your quotes to my signature?
When to kill a few cultists the easy answer is to viral bomb the planet.
When it quickly becomes the ONLY option as you keep playing.
While demons are feared monsters you've fought the same demon so many times you're on a first name basis and both agree to stop for food before fighting.
- When a player's pc is founded in stasis pod with a name Chaos ( spell like haos ), who just want secretly to destroy universe.
- When said psyker takes dark pact, which gives his laspistol to couse perils of the warp on target when the number of roll is odd and when anybody other wants to take that las pistol from psyker. Result: near wipeout of acolytes, major daemon incursions.
- When said psyker is too paranoid and keeps living through at least 6 campaigns while his collegues who either fail/die or are killed by the same psyker.
- When said psyker become sorcerer, gets possessed, exorcised, mind cleansed and ascended to primaris, throne agent, gets assigned to investigate a case and be a leader of simple acolyte cell. Cant talk normally because his fellowship is below grox, so orders his hummingowl familiar to fetch paper notes to acolytes.
- When said psyker uses Telepathy (power) with Warp Corruption (arcana) broadcast in 6 km range in mountains where rebels hide because it is easier than to find them.

- When bribing a planetary governor is a mundane side quest.
- When you offer the party psyker the power "Summon spacehulk" If they kill the party in the name of chaos.
- When a simple side quest ends with the purging of thousands of innocent civilians, and is considered a success.
- When your party assumes every bad guy they face is terrifying enough to kill them all, and to be fair, they are probably right.

WOuld like to hear how that power works
When you believe your gun has a soul but the dozen or so people you just killed with it were soulless heretics.
When you kidnap children to ship them off to have their souls drained away in agony and call yourselves the good guys.
When massacring an entire family because one member might have possibly read a forbidden document is fine but farting in church can get you flogged.
You know you're playing Dark Heresy, ...
- when you make your armed henchman 'assume the position' so his cranial implant can substitute for a receiver dish to call in an air strike against heretics and mutants hordes...
- ...just fifteen freaking yards away from your position!
- when your Adeptas Sororitas group member is more often below half wounds due to self-flaggelation rather than combat.
- when the word 'Exterminatus' is more often spoke out loud than 'parley'...
- ...or 'mercy', for that matter.
- when plans start to get formed to overthrow, and then assume his or her identity, you governing inquisitor...
- ...at the latest by the second session.
- when players are chanting litanies of hatred rather than combat plans while killing filthy xenos scum.
- when one player at least tries to sneak in a young male character, and throws him into the thickest fighting in hopes of becoming Adeptus Astartes.
