History YMMV / Toyhammer

* EvilIsSexy: [[spoiler:The Rose of Slaanesh.]]

* CrackPairing: Michael and Zara, for rather obvious reasons: One's a twenty-something male human living on 21st century Earth, the other's a century-and-a-half-old Eldar Farseer who's only a couple of inches tall. It's saying something when the ''[[AnythingThatMoves Rose of Slaanesh]]'' thinks that it's really strange that the two are a pair.

* CrazyAwesome: [[spoiler:The united 'Order' forces getting their act together in Chapter 19, and kicking serious ass.]]

* MemeticMutation: /tg/ and other 4chan memes are used and sometimes lampshaded by the GenreSavvy characters.

* CrowningMomentOfFunny: Zara finds out about [[spoiler: loli's after Michael complains about the Emperor's trolling him like a character from a Japanese porn game. Turns out even the ''Emperor's''only found out about that stuff recently.]]
** Also: ""I DO NOT WEAR PANTIES!""

** Ishabeth could have easily become one, but she doesn't treat her past trauma as anything but just that - the past.

* MarySue: {{Averted|Trope}}, as the only reason Michael is in this story is because of his [[spoiler:BlessedWithSuck powers of {{Weirdness Magnet}}ism providing the Warp Gate that put them there as a 'path of least resistance']]. Plus, the reason he's able to keep several {{Badass Arm|y}}ies from killing each other and him? [[spoiler:Part of the SuperPowerLottery winnings was that he is able to manipulate people's perceptions. On the normal scale between humans, this means he's mildly charismatic to negate his shyness. On the mini scale, he [[strike:could convince Space Marines]] ''[[BloodKnight convinces ORKS]]'' to cease fire.]]
** Plus, the guy has taken a lot of injuries and has (almost) never been on the winning end of a serious battle. The slapstick violence between him and the minis, however, is about even and what you'd expect from a comedy.

* CompleteMonster:
** [[spoiler:Ryan, both before and after his transformation.]]
** [[spoiler:the Chaos Sorcerer and his treatment of Batel...and everything else, really]].

** [[spoiler:Ryan, both before and after his transformation. Oh. SO. MUCH!]]

* {{Shipping}}: Quite a bit of the fan following ships [[CrackPairing Michael]]/[[HugeGuyTinyGirl Zara]], [[ShrinkingViolet Meliya]]/[[ActionSurvivor Sohm]] and [[SpaceMarine Amadeus]]/[[ActionGirl Samisha]]. Pretty much guarantees this, too, since there isn't much in the way of romantic competition ([[TemptingFate yet]]) and their real problem is that their partner might die in combat, as none of them are non-combatants.

* CompleteMonster: [[spoiler:Ryan. Oh. SO. MUCH!]]
** But it would be rather silly to forget [[spoiler:the Chaos Sorcerer and his treatment of Batel...and everything else, really]].
* CrackPairing: Michael and Zara, for rather obvious reasons: One's a twenty-something male human living on 21st century Earth, the other's a century-and-a-half-old Eldar Farseer who's about a thousandth of Michael's size.

* FanNickname:
** [[spoiler:The Emma-peror]].
** Also, [[spoiler:La Emperadora]].

** PlayedForLaughs in the first Ordo Vermin Omake with Shas'la [[StealthPun Wu'bie.]]
** Ishabeth could have easily become one, but she doesn't treat her past trauma as anything but just that -the past.

* FetishFuel:
** Accelerates the flames of attraction every now and again, otherwise it's there as FanService.
** The Sisters of Battle all dressed in {{Sexy Santa Dress}}es.
** [[spoiler:The Rose of Slaanesh]] is another, rather potent source of this.

* BetterThanItSounds: A reclusive artist, a clueless blond girl and his geeky friend play with miniature soldiers.
