* KingMook: The [[spoiler: Elder Beringel]], which takes all of Team RWBY on at the same time and even gives Aethon's squad a hard time as well.

* UncannyValley: Per WordOfGod the Faunus are this [[https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/for-those-we-cherish-40k-rwby.408155/page-3#post-24136825 to the Lamenters.]]

* CoolHorse [[HorseOfADifferentColor of a Different Color]]: The Bosphorian Cataphracts, an Imperial Guard cavalry unit accompanying the Lamenters, ride a beast called a chai-rusid, which is described as what is basically an alien T-Rex. They've been known to eat Grimm, completely ignoring the supposed inedibility of Grimm flesh.

* TheCallTwinksYou: As part of their attempt at fostering Imperium-Remnant relations, the Lamenters decide to give the Remnant hunters (Team RWBY being chosen for this) gifts. They let the girls have their pick of the Imperial Guard's wargear, considering that they have more gear than they do people to wield them. Astartes wargear, as they are considered holy relics, are off-limits.

They let the girls have their pick of the Imperial Guard's wargear, considering that they have more gear than they do people to wield them, but the Astartes gear are off-limits.

* HypotheticalFightDebate: Taken completely seriously for once. Everyone involved hopes it ''remains'' strictly hypothetical, but Brother-Captain Theoseus asks Aethon for his threat assessment of Teams RWBY, JNPR and CFVY after the second arc in the event that the (so far, highly positive) relations between the marines and the locals should take a turn for the worse. [[spoiler: Aethon concludes that it would take a full tactical squad of ten marines to reliably defeat a team of four hunter students without the marines suffering casualties.]]
** That said, they acknowledge that they don't fully understand Aura and Semblances. As well, each side's understanding of war and all that it entails differ greatly (see ButForMeItWasTuesday, for example).

* GrumpyOldMan: Venerable Dreadnaught Vespasian.

* ImTakingHerHomeWithMe: Ruby's reaction to seeing Venerable Dreadnaught Vespasian in his Ancient Contemptor Dreadnaught chassis.

** The Imperial Guard, normally all about shunning abhuman scum without a second thought, issued an updated primer for Faunus interactions that instruct the Guardsmen to be polite, for all that it seems to be rather awkwardly and hastily done. There's also a bit regarding ''friendly'' androids (like Penny).

** [[spoiler:Chapter Master Malakim Phoros]] relates to Jaune how the Lamenters spent the lives of many of marines extracting the chassis of a slain Imperial Knight because they felt that the enemy should not be allowed to defile the knight's memory.

* InstantWebHit: A reporter takes a pic of Aethon after he's just rescued a Faunus woman and her siblings. This becomes a trending video and makes him famous.

* InterruptedLoveConfession: Jaune was about to give Pyrrha a LoveConfession while under Astartes-grade anesthetic, but he conks out before getting even half the words out.

* BlackKnight: The entire Lamenters chapter has painted their armor black in penance.
* BreakOutTheMuseumPiece: As Dust-technology is theorized to not work outside of Remnant's atmosphere, Librarian Saphriel lends Eveline Magnolia an ancient Polaroid, the likes of which Eveline hasn't used in years.

* FantasticRacism: A very downplayed example. While the Lamenters are wary of Faunus, they lump them alongside the Remnant humans and otherwise act as usual.
** The Imperial Guard have an updated primer for Faunus interactions that are mostly about being polite and then reporting yourself to the regimental commissar.

* HopeSpot: Jaune was about to give Pyrrha a LoveConfession while under Astartes-grade anesthetic, but he's knocked out before he can say it.
* ImTakingHerHomeWithMe: Ruby's reaction to seeing Vespasian in his Ancient Contemptor Dreadnaught chassis.

--> '''Cyril:''' "That's frakking adamantium."

* SmallStepsHero: The Lamenters salute this trope. Although they don't hesitate to acknowledge that TheNeedsOfTheMany outweigh the needs of the few, they also won't hesitate to make ''themselves'' the few who are sacrificed if it means saving more innocents.

Thrown from the warp during their penitent crusade, the Lamenters Space Marine chapter and the disparate regiments with them stumble upon Remnant. Isolated from all they know, they throw themselves into the familiar roles of protecting humanity in ways only the noble sons of Sanguinius can do.
