Welcome to the Official #chudhammer Mythbusting Guide

Through out this thread will be a collection of many myths, arguements and falsehoods that have been thrown around the Warhammer community by Woke activists attempting to subvert the truth of Warhammer.

The aim of this thread is to find truth behind the accusations and provide as many sources as we can as well as debunk any and all myths.

This is not just vetted by me but is an effort of the many members of the #warhammercommunity , #chudhammer & The legion of Unpopular opinions.

1
"Ghazghkull Is A Satire of Margaret Thatcher"

Status: Complete Myth

So lets start with an Easy one to debunk but its a very common held belief that Ghaz is some sort of satire of The Iron lady.

No one truly knows where it started or how it makes any sense whatsoever.

As you can see below one of the OG Creators of 40K Andy Chambers hates this myth and debunks this myth hard on his Facebook account.

Ghaz's name is inspired from Lord of the Rings Orcish lanuage known as "Black Speech"

They were basically going for something along the line "Big Orc Leader"

Some debate that Andys Translation is a bit off but hey ho we're geeks and we get what he was going for.

And hey heres a video link explained by @SecretaryOppai

"Space marines can be female"

Status: Complete Myth

This is a rather big topic to cover as its one of the Wokes favourite arguements to push and comes in many forms.

This is will likely not be the last time this will come up (Probably a lot of myths on this)

Simply put In the Universe of 40K "Only males can be space marines" and the science of the setting declares this to be the case and has been that way since 40K became 40K in second edition.

Pictured below an Article in 1988 WHITE DWARF confirms male only marines.

3
"The Rainbow Warriors Legion are a Support for The LGBT"

Status: Complete Myth.

The Rainbow Warriors were named after the flagship of eco-protest group Greenpeace that was sunk by the French intelligence services in 1985 which caused a major public outcry internationally and especially in the UK, the home of Greenpeace.

Wiki link of the Rainbow Warrior:

@CountDankulaTV's Video on Green peace and the sinking of the Rainbow Warrior:

"The original Creators of 40K were Woke because they were Punk Anarkchists"

Status: Highly Unlikely

We can't say if they did or didn't like Punk music but they certainly were influenced by Heavy Metal as well as some elements of Punk asthetics and a good dose of Thrash Metal with Sword and Sorcery.

(Not to mention Punk back then compared to now are totally different animals)

Pictured below are Photos from an article in Kerrang magazine and an advertisement of WD in the early days of Warhammers beginnings.

Suggestion: Look at the older artworks of 40K and even Warhammer Fantasy alot of it was obviously inspired by alot of Metal albums of the time.

"Oh yeah well heres some Rogue trader FEMALE SPACE MARINES! HA TAKE THAT CHUD!"

Status: Complete Misinformation

Now this is a popular tactic by woke types as pictured in 1st shot of the person in question attempt to debunk "Only men can be space marines".

However there are problems with this tactic.

For a start they were never presented as Space Marines but rather more as an early form of sisters.

You can see this with the shoulder pads matching the later releases of sisters in pictures 2 & 3.

Then you can also see on the models themselves the words Sister written at the base of the miniatures in picture 4.

Also anything from the Rogue trader era of Warhammer 40K which is often referred to as 1st edition is no longer considered part of Warhammer official cannon lore.

However some things have carried over alot of it was scrapped for essentially the rebooted launch in 2nd edition.

"This >Insert faction/Character< is a dog whistle for The Jews"

Status: Beyond Stupid

There is no evidence that these factions have anything to do with the Jews.

This is ussually spurred on by some deep deranged desire to see everything (The imperium of man mostly) as a nazi Dog whistle.

7
"There IS Gender Reassignment Surgery in 40K BIGGOT!"

Status: Fan Fiction

Currently in 40K lore there is no sources that show any evidence of this science in 40K.

Maybe some Warp stuff but nothing Science based

"AAAAHHH BUT! The Lost Primarchs could have been Female!"

Status: Debunked

Ignoring the Fact the Existance of the lost Primarchs is purely mechanical so you can go mad with your own head cannon fanfiction.

The Lost Primarchs have been referred to several times in books as "Brothers"

This Arguement is another attempt to Bring Female marines into current 40K cannon.

Pictured below are times they have been mentioned in lore.

"THIS ARTWORK PROVES THERE WAS FEMALE SPACE MARINES AT GW!"

Status: Artist Misinformed

The 1st picture is an old Artwork from an artist That was attempting to get a job at GW which Woke types try to throw to dismantle a "Only men can be space marines" arguement.

The 2nd picture is his story of him explaining his intentions.

Nothing seems malicious about it just a guy back in 1997 trying to get a job while being a massive Rogue Trader fan back in the day.

Even calls them Sisters of Sin the Pre 40K era name for Sisters of Battle

GW themselves had to inform him that "There are no Female space Marines"

10
"No one is going to take your hobby toy's away or Force you out MAN BABIES!"

Status: Blatant Lies

You seen it time and time again in more than just one Community.

As Conflict is built in humanity some people just can't let people have a fun time.

Many do it for different reasons ussually for internet clout (Likes, retweets, followers and even some cases money or what ever other thing they are shilling out)

Some Do it for an idelogy/political movement they conform to.

And some just likes a power trip of agitating a mob.

& Some people are just out to bully you into submission and make you feel alone and out numbered.

These people will do anything to annoy you off the platform and to get you to stop talking or conform to their way of thinking.

They will typically try to make you out to be a horrible person who must be removed from the community while presenting themselves or their idelogy as a completely clean or Justified Saint.

Do not let these Clowns Bully you.

Use Block/Mute are options if you don't want to see em.

Or if its really bad report them.

And Never stop thinking & speaking for yourself.

"Well Heres an Article from an Early WHITE DWARF Magazine That PROVES FEMALE SISTERS WERE A THING!"

Status: Complete Missinformation & Debunked (Several times)

Ok this is probably one of the wokes most popular ones to throw around for the arguements of why female marines should be a thing.

The Sunstroke Legion (Everytime you see it mentioned take a drink) is an all Female Legion.

These have nothing to do with GW because for a start its not even White Dwarf Magazine.

These are from CHALLENGE Magazine which are part of a US company called GAMES DESIGN WORKSHOP known for hardcore sci-fi games like Traveler.

In the Highlighted areas of picture 2 you can see GDW for the company name and Challenge the Magazines name.

In picture 3 the magazine itself.

This is not an official Article for Warhammer 40K its a fan magazine

And for extra funnies when one of the bigger Wokehammer accounts approached Alan Merret (One of the OG GW crew) asking if these had legitimacy to them in hopes of Allan saying yes well...its in the 4th picture lol.

"SILENCE CHUD! THESE OLD MODELS PROVE 40K WAS A SATIRE OF MAGARET THATCHERS GOVERMENT AND THE FAR RIGHT!!!"

Status: Complete Myth and Missinformation

If the models in these images ever come up, Know that they're the creation of Colin Dixon, and were his personal converted creations.

Not original retail company models.

They're also not even Warhammer 40k, which didn't even EXIST when WD81 came out, but Warhammer Fantasy.

13
"WELL! GUILLIMAN EVEN THINKS THE IMPERIUM IS FASCIST & NOT WORTH SAVING!"

Status: Cherry Picked Lore Qoute Misinformation

This is a more recent addition from the wokes attempting to paint The Imperium as a Fascist state and anyone who supports them as a litteral Nazi through a dumb meme.

The qoute looks legit in the 1st picture but theres a massive flaw with it...Its only a small part of the Qoute as the next words are

"Even as he said it, Guilliman heard the lie in his words"

The Full qoute is in Picture 2 its a lot of words but its damn good stuff and you can see why those who push this meme Don't want you to know the full thing.

14
"THE IMPERIUM WAS NOT JUSTIFIED IN WHAT THEY DO AND SHOULDN'T BE THIS WAY!"

Status: Debunked

The Imperium of man is the biggest evil in 40K to the woke side...Even the Dark eldar...yes them.

This has lead to many arguements of how The Emperor needs to die and The Imperium needs to be destroyed to build it back better...most of you who understand the universe of 40K will know why this is a bad Idea for humanity.

Below is an Interview with the Original Creator of 40K Rick Pristley who pretty much explains the universe of 40K and why it is the way it is.

His note at the bottom suggests Humanity is Justified in what it must do to survive as Humanity hasn't got the luxury of other options.

15
"All The IMPERIAL GUARD Are 50% MEN & 50% Women SO THE SPACE MARINES SHOULD BE TOO!"

Status: Not True

Now when ever the wokes try their hand at making an arguement againist the guard it seems to be even more uninformed than anything else.

The sources are limited with the Male to Female Ratio of the guard but there is one confirmed source here

This is Inquisitor Amberley Vail speaking in "Ciaphas Cain: Hero of the Imperium" Chapter 3.

16
"WHERES YOUR MODELS CHUD!"

Probably the most Hypocritical arguement by the wokes seeing as most of them are Anti GateKeeping & want to push the "You need models to be a fan" arguement so they can act like they have more rights to demand GW for things than you is just dumb

Pictured Below Is all the ways GW say you can be a fan.

17
"THE ENTIRE POINT OF 40K WAS TO BE A SATIRE OF MARGARET THATCHERS GOVERMENT AND THE FAR RIGHT!"

Status: Complete Myth

This is by far one of the biggest pushes for the woke types.

Below is a qoute from Rick Priestly the original creator of 40K in an interview.

In it he claims

"I was Writing a Book about wargames for wargamers and not aiming for literary credibility"

Rick basically has to spell it out that they were really just having fun with everything and trying to make an awesome fictional war game more than anything.

If they had their politics at the time it is not evident that they put them in the game and were proffessional enough to keep it that way.

And those that see it as more than that are decieving themselves.

18
"GW Should not be Thankful to Ronald Reagan"

Status: Very False

Look no matter you perspective of Ronald Reagan and his time as President of the USA.

Games Workshop has alot to be thankful of the man as his policies lead to easier shipping of Warhammer to the United States meaning the USA And probably the neighbouring countries as well saw a massive increase of Warhammers miniatures availability.

This likely lead to a massive boost in Warhammer popularity in the states which helped it to become the biggest wargame company in the world.

19
"THERE WAS A FEMALE SPACE MARINE IN STORM OF IRON BIGGOT!"

Status: Complete Missinformation

Storm of Iron does not, in fact, have a female Space Marine in it

She was a Normal human female.

She was forced into daemonically possessed armor and Turned into a monster, not an Astartes like the woke here claims.

20
"RICK SAID IRONIC! IRONY MEANS THE SAME AS SATIRE THERE FOR WARHAMMER IS SATIRE BIGGOT!"

Status: Complete Missinformation

This is another of the wokes favourite tactics.

Redefining words meaning...or rather twisting them.

This is ussually a move done to change a situation going wrong for the wokes into something that favours them or paints your words in a worse light than they were meant for.

Its a very desperate tactic for the most part and if you're paying attention you can see it a mile off and call it out for what it is.

2nd picture is from vocabulary .com describing the difference between the words.

21
"THE SPACE MARINES ARE NOT A BROTHERHOOD OF WARRIOR MONKS!...AND STOP SAYING BROTHER ALL THE TIME!"

Status: Complete BS

I don't honestly get this one myself but I believe its some attempt to distance Warhammer from religious vibes? (Mainly Christianity).

And it makes them very mad when you refer to people as "Brother" or "Battle Brother" to other community members with some mild roleplay...Guess not fans of fun?

So heres an example of a wokey getting mad at folk saying "Brother" and a fan explaining in the 1st picture

2nd picture The new 40K art book about the First Founding chapters reaffirms that Space Marines are in fact, a brotherhood

3rd Picture 9th Ed, Core Rulebook, pg28 - note reference to monastic lifestyle.

4th Picture Repeated references in core rulebooks from 8th edition basically describes them as Spiritual Brothers and Brothers-At_Arms AKA BATTLE BROTHERS!

22


"KRIEG ARE NAZIS!"

Status: History Failure

This is probably the most famous example of Historical ignorance or just plain intentional misreading to spread moral panic for clout (And honestly its a red flag if you think Krieg is a representation of the Nazis).

To keep it brief the Krieg are basically inspired by World War 1 and the armies that fought in it.

For a full break down of the Kriegers Uniform check out Janovichs video link below



Or You could also check @AirACE1918's video which explains why they are not nazi and explores the different soldier types uniforms as well



23
"THE BLACK TEMPLARS ARE A NAZI FACTION AND THEIR IRON CROSS IS A HATE SYMBOL!"

Status: Complete Ignorance of reality, history & Factually wrong.

Alrighty time to jump into this one as its a big subject kinda.

1st The Black Templars Cross is not the Iron Cross...it is the Maltese Cross.

Both of these crosses history can be tracked back to the Medieval ages of various Knights orders.

This is also the same cross used by many Medical institutions such as hospitals or even schools.

Wiki link Maltese Cross:

2nd Black Templars are more to do with Christian Crusader Knights.

The Nazis don't even factor into it.

if anything the Templars are a mix of many Knights orders from history.

3rd The Iron Cross is not a hate symbol.

It was commonly used as a German Medal of Honour for awarding its bravest soldiers starting back in the Prussian empire and its creation as a symbol dates all the way back to the teutonic order of knights of 1190 which are still active today.

The only reason it gets this reputation of hate is because when the Nazi regime took control of Germany in the 1930s they took many of the old Prussian military Honours and used them for their own propaganda ussage to motivate the soldiers (they also slapped a swastika on them and called it Hitlers cross).

It is this factor alone in the Crosses history the woke mob tries to use to push a narrative that the Iron cross is and always was a hate symbol combined with a hatred for christianity.

And the woke mob is always looking for a reason to come down on someone even if they know their case is hollow and false.

Wiki Link Iron Cross:

"YOU LIKE THE IMPERIUM? NAZI!"

Status: Extra Credits level Stupid

Ok this isn't anything new the wokes are trying.

In fact its been a pretty common tactic they've employed in their crusade againist pop culture communities.

Its them basically attacking the Idea of escapism and implanting the idea that everything is political and has some deeper meaning.

And its all just Mental Gymnastics.

So in the terms of warhammer its pretty much "Imperium is bad and if you like the Imperium then your bad and want to be just like em"

You can easily tell this when ever they criticise the Imperium of man they will ussually talk of the Imperium of man away from all the factors that threaten them and remove it from the 40K setting entirely.

They will compare the Imperium to the modern day we live in.

I'm sorry but in the modern day we're not gonna have some unsanctioned Psyker suddenly turn into a gateway to hell for all sorts of demon madness to come through.

They also get mad at you for enjoying the HERESY! PURGE THE XENOS! Memes.

Hell they get even more mad about this with the likes of Bolt action players who play germany...You know...World war 2...one of the major powers fighting in that war...WHICH THE GAME IS BASED IN!

Yet they never mention the Japanese...or the soviets hhhhmmm...

Hell even now the topics of Fictional Racism causes Real Racism is a current thing they are trying to push.

Just look at their hatred of this in say Fantasy Dwarfs

Its basically gone a full circle back to the days when Crazy Conservative Christians made claims of Violence in video games make violent people or Metal Music is for Satanic people and it was all proven to be nothing but a BS smear.

So if you see this happening just tell em to stop trying to the next Extra Credits.

(If you don't know what the Extra credits thing was about heres a link)
