** Newbies to the canon tend to interpret Goge Vandire claiming "I don't have time to die, I'm too busy!" right before he is executed as a joke. Those were indeed the canonical Vandire's FamousLastWords.

* UnintentionallySympathetic: Magnus in the Board Game special. The others call Magnus a "Bad GM" and accuse him of railroading them. However, the comments are full of sympathy for Magnus, with many pointing out that Magnus never wanted to be the GM in the first place and actually went along with the increasingly ridiculous shenanigans of the party for 90% of the game. Even when they end up facing the Gorger Lord, an opponent that they cannot possibly hope to defeat, Magnus tells them that they have the option to run away and even offers them the opportunity for a fresh start when the campaign has gone completely and utterly off the rails. While he does become a KillerGM, it feels more like he simply boiled over in frustration with the other cast members being bad players (many of the cast fit classic "bad player" archetypes) as opposed to him being a bad GM. Some comments even point out that this neatly mirrors the events that lead him to throw his lot in with Tzeench, trying to do the right thing but eventually pushed over the edge by the actions of others.

** The Emperor playing Paradox-Billiards-Vostroyan-Roulette-Fourth Dimensional-Hypercube-Chess-Strip Poker became downright prophetic when [[Literature/HorusHeresy The End and the Death: Volume III]] [[spoiler: has, among an array of other battles across dimensions, the Emperor and Horus duelling with decks of cards]].

** The Emperor's account of the sacrifice of Ollanius Pius (he really was a Guardman, but a Space Marine and Custodes also sacrificed themselves to avoid being upstaged by a mortal human) becomes this with the release of the final novel of the Siege of Terra, which reveals that this was roughly how things played out in canon (Ollanius was a Guardsman but also a perpetual, and he [[spoiler:was guarded by the Custodian Caecaltus Dusk while desperately begging the Emperor to wake up]].

* HeartwarmingInHindsight: The fanfic ''If the Emperor watched the Text To Speech Device'' has the Emperor and the Primarchs watch the series (up to episode 20), and ''Horus'' is [[HeroicBSOD horrified by the realization that not only he caused the Heresy]], [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone but that he killed Sanguinus]] by seeing the ''intro'' of the second season. The brothers took their arms against Horus, but Sanguinus personally defends him, saying it hasn't happen yet. With the information set by this series, the brothers went out to ''personally'' prevent the Heresy from happening.

* EvilIsSexy: Going by the comments, Lady Malys definitely has the [[ArousedByTheirVoice voice]] and [[EverythingSoundsSexierInFrench accent]] to qualify.
