* When Rogal tells the Emperor what he did after the Heresy, he sounds distressed (or as close to distress as Rogal Dorn can be) and the Emperor notices it, he is constantly trying to cheer him up or trying to "absolve" him of any perceived guil the Primarch has. But it comes of as caustic, because the fact the Emperor talks with his Text to Speech Device, instead of a struggling father trying to comfort his distressed son.

* Why does Kitten [[RunningGag persistently refuse]] to turn off Roboute Guilliman's life support? ''Because he isn't stupid''. If he does this, the Ultramarines would be out for his blood -- and he'd be a dead transhuman walking, since [[ComicallyInvincibleHero no force in the galaxy]] would be able to stop them.

* Facius Bile managing to COMPLETELY recreate Arhiman's psychic sorcery into an unfinished clone that straight-up managed to [[HorrifyingtheHorror scare the warp-crap out of Lucius the Eternal, High-Champion of Slannesh!]] Even those who know the lore of Facius's dark ambitions to clone the Emperor but is dumber than a warp-tainted plant does not spell well for the galaxy's heath. Considering the Emperor is accumulating all the psychic souls of the Imperium and is dueling all 4 Chaos Gods, having an unstable clone of him with said magic may straight-up completely ANNIAHLATE all the souls in the galaxy as well as dooming Chaos a rapid and extremely painful death that even the Chaos Gods do NOT wish to partake!!!

*** Given that the Commissar tried to have a Son of the Emperor executed, he would probably be disowned. Sure he didn't realize it, but the Caiaphas Cain series shows that if a Commissar goes berserk, they can be charged with treason and turned into drug enhanced suicide soldiers.

** For the other interpretation, see the Frdge Brilliance entry above. While motive does matter, the Emperor can claim that the Dark Angels were right for the wrong reasons and exonerate them. How the Mechanicus react will depend as many of his subordinates are shown to not like him.

Critical Research Failure is a disambiguation page


* During the second [[TabletopGame/YuGiOh Paradox-Billiards-Vostroyan-Roulette-Fourth Dimensional-Hypercube-Chess-Strip Poker]] special, players of the actual card game would notice that there seems to be an intentional yet crucial moment of CriticalResearchFailure, namely the infamous "MST Negates" mistake.[[note]] Many new players mistakenly believe that using Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy a spell or trap in response to it being played negates the card, when in reality it simply destroys it and, unless it was a continuous spell or trap, does absolutely nothing due to the fact that played spell or traps go to the graveyard on resolution anyway.[[/note]] It seems odd that the play wouldn't be ruled illegal... until you remember they're dueling in the [[ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve Warp]] and Kitten barely knows how to play the game. The reason it works is because Kitten believes it does.

** Magnus doesn't play, but his deck for "a card game that is actually good" is [[TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering Red/Blue]], representing the intersection of fiery passion and thirst for knowledge, which represents well his goals in life. And in terms of playstyle, the combination's strategy is usually heavily based on blitzkrieg-style bouts of spellcasting both destructive and disruptive, which fits Magnus' own, similarly destructive psyker powers well.

* While the lack of Elves among the party seems minute trivia due to Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay's human-heavy nature, the fact that many Imperium characters had shown skepticism against Eldar--Warhammer 40k's Elf equivalent--might also reflect their choice with Rogal's character being a Dwarf being given a pass due to Squats--Warhammer 40k's Dwarf equivalent--being tolerated as Abhumans.

** As for why the Custodes would be weak-willed in general? Consider the Emperor's greatest flaw: his pride. [[NeverMyFault Any order he gives, anything he says, is either completely right because he knows better, or wrong through no fault of his own]], so his closest companions[=/=]soldiers, the Custodes, would, in his mind, have no need for a strong will of their own since he'd be there to command them.

** In addition, the Star Child says he'd be right at home with Fyodor. At first, it sounds strange until you realize that he doesn't mean it sounds exactly like traits he sees in himself. Quite the opposite; Fyodor is the perfect vessel because, like the Throne Emperor, he has thrown his compassion aside. It'd be exceptionally roomy in there.
