* TakeThatScrappy:
** An interesting case of this used by the protagonist himself, with both him and Leandros being of the Ultramarines chapter, which is widely regarded as a CreatorsPet. Titus does not shy away from telling Leandros that there are benefits to thinking for yourself rather than blindly following the Codex Astartes, telling him in the end of the game that it is not the Codex that makes them Space Marines, but how they choose to live with the rules in it. This coming from one Ultramarine to another, a chapter widely known for their massive devotion to the rules set in the Codex Astartes, [[RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap has opened up some people's hearts to the chapter]].
** Ironically, in the Age of Darkness anthology from the Horus Heresy series, Roboute Guilliman, Primarch and progenitor of the Ultramarines, and author of the Codex Astartes, specifically tells the then 4th Company Captain that while the Codex is an exceptional repository of strategy, it should not used as a end-all, be-all guide that replaces the Marine's own capacity to act in the field. Essentially, all of Titus's views are completely in-line with what Roboute originally intended before the Ultramarines earned the worst of their CreatorsPet status.

* FridgeBrilliance: After [[spoiler: Sidonus']] death, Titus and Leandros have a brief discussion about [[spoiler: Titus' resistance to Warp energy.]] Titus says that if [[spoiler: his resistance comes into play during his battle with Nemeroth]], then "so be it". Leandros then looks away and says "so be it". You may think he's agreeing with Titus at first, but he's not; [[spoiler: Leandros is accepting the fact that Titus is probably a heretic and should have his ass turned into grass by the Inquisition for it.]]
** Why do [[spoiler: Drogan's]] own defense turrets target him? [[spoiler: Because he's already dead.]] He either set them simply to kill everything [[spoiler: shortly before his death (the daemon possessing his corpse claims this)]], or [[spoiler: they recognize that he isn't him.]] 
** Similarly, one of the audio logs says that Drogan is keeping his recordings locked until his death to prevent others from hearing them and interfering in his work. You, of course, can listen to them because [[spoiler: he's already dead.]]
** If you look at it, the Psychic Scourge device looks surprisingly similar to the eight-pointed Star of Chaos. [[spoiler: Now, remember that it was reprogrammed to open a rift in realspace to allow the forces of Chaos to invade.]]
** Imperial Guardsmen can perform field repairs on their equipment, like the Basilisk, because situations like in the game happen so often that they were forced to illegally understand how their machines work and how to repair them. They apparently even made a field manual for that.
** Drogan's armour is generally scuffed and damaged, but both the Aquila and the Inquisitorial emblem on his chest are almost completely bisected. It could just be isolated damage, but [[spoiler: daemons are hurt by symbols of faith and devotion, thereby hinting at his possession.]]
*** In a game that is [[{{Gorn}} not shy about showing blood]] and despite wounds to his torso that even the Space Marines think are serious... Drogan isn't bleeding. His armor, though seriously torn up, appears to be perfectly clean. He ''does'' try to {{handwave}} it with "My psychic powers are controlling the bleeding", but even when his psychic exhaustion catches up to him in Chapter 8 he doesn't leak a drop of the red stuff. [[spoiler: That would be because his heart isn't beating.]]
* FridgeHorror: If you've played Warhammer 40k before, you knew the Orks were brutal, but they were also kind of funny. This game ''really'' drives home how unfunny the Orks are to everybody who isn't also an Ork. Audio logs from civilians recount stories of their sheer terror at watching Orks dismember children and defenceless adults and ''laugh'' as they do so. Other logs reveal stories about hospitals and shelters being forced to bar their doors at the overwhelming influx of the maimed and dispossessed, and later choosing to [[MercyKill systematically euthanise everyone under their protection]] when it becomes apparent Orks have gained entry to the facilities.
* GoddamnedBats: The Renegade Militia, who either continuously lob grenades at you or [[SuicidalOverconfidence think they can take you down by running up to you]] and [[PistolWhipping rifle whipping]] your {{Power Armor}}ed ass. Very annoying.
** Actually, that's their ''[[ItGotWorse least]]'' annoying feature. Every single second they ''aren't'' throwing a grenade at you is spent {{Beam Spam}}ming with their lasguns instead. Despite the game's tagline of "[[TakeThat Cover is for the weak]]," taking cover when fighting Renegade Militia is ''mandatory'' if you don't want to [[DeathOfAThousandCuts get slowly shot to pieces waiting for your armor to recharge]].
