Killing 20,000 troops because they belong to a different regiment who were in danger of collecting more accolades than yours and their commander squeezing past you in the race to that cushy promotion.

... is the most 40k IG

[Rolepgeek]

Killing 20,000 of your own troops on a faulty report that a Bloodthirster was being summoned in that location, that ends up being the final sacrifice needed for the Cultists you're fighting to summon a Bloodthirster is the most 40k thing an IG commander can do.

[pisskop]

thats marvelous.

its a right shame that one of humanity's defining traits in fiction is 'friendly fire'

I think I have to give this to RPG.

Dont forget climbing on basilisk and ordering driver to DRIVE CLOSER, while commander wildly swings his sword.

If the Bloodthirster wears pauldrons covered in skulls whilst an Inquisitor orders exterminatus on the wrong planet, then it's peak 40k

[Kot]

It's peak 40k if he orders the remaining soldiers to affix bayonets and charge the Bloodthrister.
And they kill it because in the grim darkness of far future there's only stalemates.

The skulls will also have their own pauldrons because that's just how 40k works.

[Andres]

It's peak 40k if he orders the remaining soldiers to affix bayonets and charge the Bloodthrister.

It's peak 40k if they take grievous casualties and eventually win, but the Space Marines get all the credit and the survivors all get executed by the commissar because thinking about daemons is heresy.

[Teneb]

I wonder... has a commissar ever executed himself for any reason?

Heresy?

[Grim Portent]

A few have committed suicide rather than be captured or turned by enemies, but that's about as close as you'll get to one executing themself.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Gaunt's Ghosts: Traitor General doesn't have a commissar doing themselves in, but it does have a IG General who joined chaos do themselves in as one last act of honour in dishonour sort of thing
