History Fridge / Warhammer40000

** As well, the Baneblade is orders of magntude larger than the Abrams, and appears to run headlong into the same problem as the multiturrets of the 1920s and 1930s - namely, that you could have a freakishly huge tank with lots of firepower or lots of armor if you forewent mobility, but you could never have both. A Baneblade-sized tank that stripped off all but the turret in terms of firepower and maybe a heavy bolter on the front hull could have significantly more armor. However, given how frequently the Baneblade gets thrown against things that outnumber them, it's possible that the armor was deemed "good enough" and multiple weapon turrets a requirement.

** The most common reason being they same reason they can move any body part in the armor, they are both already super soldiers. Plus, the armor itself is also like a second skin to them--designed specifically to increase their strength further while allowing them to stay just as mobile as if they where wearing less heavy armour.

* Remember Tuska the Daemon-Killa? The one played for fun? The one who sailed into the Eye of Terror to find daemons to bash and quickly became Khorne's favorite plaything? Think about this. He fought endless waves of daemons, and when he died Khorne revived him and his friends to fight some more. And when Orks fight and kill enemies, they become bigger. So, after a few thousand years in the Eye of Terror, Tuska and his buddies would become the BIGGEST, most ferocious Orks. And since they released spores, they made a constant stream of NEW ORKS who would also become GIANT. Now I wonder if Khorne had any plans for these dudes... perhaps created a giant army of giant Ork size of the Beast or greater with the experience of a Daemonic Prince (and perhaps blessed with a whole lot of power and mutations from the Immaterium), then put them on a space hulk and smashed them on some random planets.... Yeah we are fucked.[[note]]]In reality, this wouldn't happen; Daemon Worlds don't operate on natural laws, so both the spore-breeding and the "get bigger through fighting" elements of orkoid physiology would be suspended. Khorne's wrathful, not an idiot.[[/note]]

* A case of AccidentallyCorrectWriting caused by society marching on with the Orgyn's increasing intelligence. But it would make sense as the increasing calories intake given to them by serving in the Imperial Guard combined with massive evolutionary pressure for intelligence on the battlefield would result in more and more calories being used by the brain for the sake of survival.
