to:

* BadassCreed: As [[SergeantRock Justicar Alaric]] [[CrowningMoment/{{Warhammer40000}} said]]:said:




!!Tropes connected with The Emperor's Gift are:
* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: Lord Inquisitor Kysnaros is liked by nobody. It's implied that Joros only helps him to gain political clout and the rest of the Inquisition support him as an excuse to act on their long-standing feud with the Space Wolves. Other Grey Knights openly disapprove of Kysnaros' orders, [[spoiler:to the point that some Grey Knights and Inquisitors conspire to assassinate him before the conflict with the Space Wolves worsens.]]
* AllForNothing: Hyperion invokes this as one reason why the Space Wolves are outraged [[spoiler:the Inquisition]] intends to purge Armageddon's population, since it renders the sacrifices of all the Wolves who died fighting [[spoiler:Angron]]'s army to ensure the people would be spared worthless.
-->'''Hyperion''': When seen in such a light, the Wolves' actions - already noble enough - takes on another layer of righteousness. They've lost warriors, too. How many of them died in glory, only to learn now it had all been in vain defending a doomed population?
* AmazonianBeauty: Inquisitor Jarlsdottyr. Both Hyperion and Bjorn take notice.
* BattleInterruptingShout: Bjorn delivers one to the Space Wolves and [[spoiler:Grey Knights]] fighting it out aboard the ''Corel's Hope'', causing all present to fall to their knees before him.
* BigRedDevil: A Bloodthirster spawns on the ''Frostborn'' to fight Squad Castian; [[spoiler:it ends up killing Sothis]]. Later on, the great threat that the Chaos Gods have been hiding on Armageddon turns out to be these; specifically, [[spoiler:Angron and his twelve Bloodthirster bodyguards]].
* BodySurf: Hyperion and Malchadiel do this on a serf on Terra to ring the Bell of Lost Souls for [[spoiler:Sothis]].
* TheCavalry: Inquisitor Kysnaros summons the ''entirety'' of the Red Hunters Space Marine Chapter to act as this [[spoiler: both so the Space Wolves can't claim the moral high ground by claiming their actions speak for all of the Adeptus Astartes, and so he no longer has to rely solely on the Grey Knights, who have made their disapproval of his methods plain]].
* TheCorruption: Chaos, natch. The taint surrounding the demons invading Armageddon is so great that it’s enough to corrupt even inanimate materials like the metal hull of a spaceship.
* CurbStompBattle: [[spoiler:Angron]] slaughters his way through scores of Grey Knight veterans in Terminator armor as he [[NoSell laughs at their attacks]]. It's only when his sword gets shattered by Hyperion that the Grey Knights finally turn the tide.
* CurbStompCushion: Both Hyperion and Malchadiel are thrashed in seconds by [[spoiler:Grimnar]], showing the difference in abilities between two young Grey Knights and a very old and experienced [[spoiler:Space Wolves Chapter Master]]. Hyperion, however, is able to stop him from killing Malchadiel and even nearly destroys his axe before the fight is interrupted.
* {{Determinator}}: One of the Cheth palace guards gets his body blown up from the stomach down due to Squad Castian's ambush but he's still able to fire his lasrifle at an unsuspecting Annika. He dies when Hyperion blocks the shot in time then burns him alive.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: Inquisitor Kysnaros believes the best way to finally force a capitulation from the [[spoiler:Space Wolves]] was to blockade [[spoiler:Fenris]] with an Inquisitorial armada and threaten to perform Exterminatus on the planet if they didn't stand down. The plan doesn't work, [[spoiler:and when Logan Grimnar and the entire Space Wolves fleet, having learned what is happening, emerge from the Warp ready for battle and howling for blood, Hyperion actually asks Kysnaros if he thought the Space Wolves would react any other way to such an action other than with extreme violence]].[[labelnote:Spoilery explanation]]In Kysnaro's defence, he admits to having never dealt with the Adeptus Astartes before and the few on his staff to advise him that have weren't dealing with a Chapter as independent as the Space Wolves.[[/labelnote]]
* DiscOneFinalBoss: [[spoiler:Angron]] is this for the first half of the plot as it details the Grey Knights' involvement in the First War for Armageddon. Once he's defeated, the book moves on to the War's aftermath, the Months of Shame involving the cold war between the Space Wolves and [[spoiler:the Inquisition]].
* DistantFinale: The ending takes place decades after the Months of Shame, [[spoiler:with Hyperion now a Prognosticar and Malchadiel returning from Mars so they can finally ring the Bell of Lost Souls for Sothis.]]
* ElectronicEyes: Inquisitor Jarlsdotty'r blue bio-optics, used for taking pictures among other things.
* FatBastard: Kezidha the Eleventh, the Chaos-corrupted Imperial Regent of Cheth. Hyperion attributes Kezidha's grotesque physique to the regent's weak mind.
* FemaleGaze: Hyperion recalls sharing a shower with some of Inquisitor Jarlsdottyr's warband, who verge upon being an AmazonBrigade. Being completely asexual, he notes that they state how 'impressed' they are, though he doesn't understand the reference.
* GoodIsNotNice: Invoked by Hyperion as he duels [[spoiler:Grimnar]], telling him that the Imperium of Man isn't a fabled empire of joy where the most moral course of action is the best but a brutal place that is constantly under desperate siege within and without. The Grey Knights, as the Emperor's Gift, know what they have to do is often horrific but the alternatives are worse and they will not stint in their duty.
* HeroKiller: [[spoiler:Angron]], who along with his daemonic honour guard slaughters his way through over a hundred Grey Knight Terminators like it was nothing, [[spoiler:including some of the main characters.]]
* HeroicRROD: Hyperion falls unconscious shortly after using all his full psychic might to shatter [[spoiler:Angron]]'s sword at Armageddon. It happens to him again not too long afterwards when he wakes up then carelessly uses his psyker abilities to search for his squad amidst the mountains of corpses from the fight, in spite of his previous overexertion. He brings Malchadiel back to the ship with little trouble but starts tl black out once he decides to head back to the fight. The ''Karabela'' crew has to lock him in stasis just to save his life, putting him out of commission for more than four months. An Apocathery even tells him that he would've died had he not been immediately placed into stasis.
* IDidWhatIHadToDo:
** The [[spoiler:Inquisition’s, and also Hyperion’s,]] excuse for slaughtering the civilians and guardsmen who took part in the campaign to retake Armageddon. They argue it's better for a few thousand potentially corrupt souls to die than risk having to potentially slaughter millions of innocents in the future because they let the thousands live.
** The Space Wolves resort to using teleporter technology to escape their enemies when the armistice goes awry. Traditionally, the Space Wolves despise using it as it is very dangerous and inaccurate.
** Inquisitor Kysnaros' view of why he is prolonging the conflict with the [[spoiler:Space Wolves]]: in his view, not bringing them to heel runs the risk of the Imperium sinking into a civil war on a par with the Horus Heresy.
** Grand Master Joros advises Kysnaros to open fire on [[spoiler:Logan Grimnar]]'s fleet, in the hopes of either forcing [[spoiler:Grimnar]] to capitulate or taking him as a hostage to force the [[spoiler:Space Wolves]] into compliance. He even admits this when [[spoiler:Grimnar]] confronts the Inquisition forces, stating his actions were for the greater good. It results in [[spoiler:Grimnar burying a power axe in Joros' chest]] and the [[spoiler:Space Wolves]] [[TheGlovesComeOff effectively declaring war on the Inquisition]].
* IdenticalTwins: Sothis and Malchadiel. The two are distinguishable thanks to Sothis's many scars and bionic augmentations, [[spoiler:though the many wounds Malchadiel sustains over the course of the book start to make him resemble Sothis more by the end.]]
* IncorruptiblePurePureness: No Grey Knight has ever fallen to Chaos. According to Hyperion the Grey Knights themselves are uncertain why this is, although most think that their gene-seed’s [[TheEmperor source]] has something to do with it.
* JustFollowingOrders: Hyperion's defense when Annika chides him for doing nothing while the population of Armageddon get sterlized by [[spoiler:the Inquisition]]. [[spoiler:A chat with Kysnaros changes his mind.]]
%%* KnightTemplar: The Inquisition, of course.
%%* LadySwearsalot: Inquisitor Jarlsdottyr, a given since she's Fenrisian.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Every Grey Knight has this done to them before their training begins. Also the fate of anyone who actually sees a Grey Knight in the flesh, assuming they aren’t simply murdered outright.
* LongDeadBadass: Many of these are witnessed by Hyperion when he passes through the Dead Fields on Titan, where the fallen Grey Knights are laid to rest.
* TheMagnificent: Hyperion is given the epithet 'Bladebreaker' by the Space Wolves after he psychically shatters [[spoiler:Angron’s [[{{BFS}} Black Blade]]]].
* MasterSwordsman: Dumenidon, the best swordsman in Squad Castian.
* MightyGlacier: Tactical Dreadnought armour is heavy, lumbering and very restrictive, sacrificing mobility for defense. Taremar has every Grey Knight of the Ragged Brotherhood outfitted in Terminator gear to increase their survivability for once they teleport right in the middle of enemy lines. Squad Castian tries to object, finding the armor cumbersome, but Taremar reasons that every second a Grey Knight survives is of the upmost importance when they're going up against [[spoiler:an army of daemons, among whom are several Bloodthirsters and a Daemon Primarch]]. The armor helps the Grey Knights endure the attacks of lesser daemons but [[spoiler:Angron]]'s {{BFS}} cuts through them like cake. However, [[LightningBruiser Logan Grimnar]] is still able to act and fight faster and more effectively than those in 'normal' Power Armour. He moves so fast in his suit that he was able to draw his axe, swing it and kill another Terminator-clad character before anyone else in the room could even react. Hyperion notes, however, that Grimnar's armor was breaking because of being pushed to its limits.
* NoSocialSkills: Hyperion repeatedly mentions that he finds reading normal people’s expressions and understanding their motivations extremely hard. This also means that his few attempts at telling jokes fall flat.
* NoodleIncident: How Inquisitor Jarlsdottyr reformed Clovon from a cult leader into a member of her warband is left ambiguous.
* OffWithHisHead: Happens to [[spoiler:Lord Inquisitor Kysnaros]] at the hands of Logan Grimnar.
* OhCrap:
** The daemon-possessed Imperial governor of the planet Cheth and his Chaos-corrupted court's reaction when an entire squad of Grey Knights teleport into the room and Inquisitor Jarlsdottyr orders them to kill everyone in the room.
** Squad Castian have two moments of this themselves: first when they encounter a Bloodthirster while escaping from a Space Wolves ship; and second when [[spoiler:Angron senses their presence and psychically tries to kill them]] after Prognosticar Torcrith helps them psychically probe Armageddon.
* OldShame: InUniverse: The Grey Knights refer to the months spent hunting down and slaughtering the [[spoiler:fleeing guardsmen (and the billions of innocent people who came into contact with them)]] the Months of Shame. In fact, it's not just the Grey Knights calling it this. That's the ''OFFICIAL'' GW name for that event.
* PaperTiger: Grand Master Joros of the 8th Brotherhood. Hyperion describes him as one of the Brotherhood's finest duellists, often able to analyse an enemy's next blow before they make it. [[spoiler: Logan Grimnar sprints across a hall and kills Joros with a single blow from his power axe before Joros can get his sword halfway drawn]].
* PeaceConference: Bjorn is able to negotiate a peace deal between [[spoiler:the Inquisition]] and the Space Wolves, allowing both sides to save face. [[spoiler:The terms of the deal are: in exchange for the Space Wolves standing down, no Inquisition ship will ''ever'' appear in the skies of Fenris again, on penalty of immediate destruction, and the Space Wolves who had learned of the Grey Knights should not be mind-wiped as was normal in such cases, but instead Hyperion should personally explain the Grey Knights' mission and its importance to all of the Astartes within The Fang, so that such a conflict should never again occur due to misunderstanding and ignorance of the Inquisition's mission]].
* PraetorianGuard:
** The Cruor Praetoria who accompany [[spoiler:Angron]] to Armageddon are comprised of the twelve strongest Bloodthirsters of Khorne.
** The Wolf Guard for Logan Grimnar.
* PreMortemOneLiner: Squad Castian gives one to the governor of Cheth before they slaughter every heretic in the room.
-->'''Galeo:''' In the name of the Emperor of Mankind, we do judge thee ''diabolus traitoris''. The sentence is death.
* PureIsNotGood: The Grey Knights fight against Chaos and are incorruptible, but they also actively take part in the subsequent purge of [[spoiler:Armageddon]] and the system-wide Exterminatus operations in pursuit of [[spoiler:the Space Wolf-aided guardsmen]].
* {{Protectorate}}: One of the first things Logan Grimnar does when he meets the Grey Knights and Inquisitors sent to Armageddon is make it explicitly clear that the guardsmen and civilians there are under his protection, and that he will brook no purges of them after the battle is over. [[spoiler:When the Inquisition initiates a purge anyway, it sets the stage for the war between the Space Wolves and the Adeptus Terra.]]
* RainOfBlood: The battle at the river between the Grey Knights and [[spoiler:Angron]]'s daemonic horde takes place in the midst of one.
* RavenHairIvorySkin: Inquisitor Jarlsdottyr. Hyperion notes that her black hair is actually rare for a Fenrisian.
* RobotDog: Merrick's cyber-mastiff.
* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: Logan Grimnar and, to a lesser extent, Inquisitor Jarlsdottyr. Hyperion reasons that the Space Marines, bred to be warriors first and foremost, would see it as a smear on their honour if they prevented a greater evil by allowing a lesser one to occur. The Space Wolves themselves outright state this is their reason for fighting [[spoiler:the Inquisition]], arguing that the men and women who fought so valiantly to defend Armageddon from [[spoiler:Angron]]'s daemonic horde deserve better than to be quietly eliminated so [[spoiler:the Inquisition]] can more easily sweep the truth of what happened under the carpet.
-->'''Hyperion''': You've made your point, Rawthroat, now stand down.\\
'''Bran Rawthroat''': We're not making a point, Bladebreaker. We're doing what is right.
* SecretTestOfCharacter: Brand Rawthroat accompanies the ''Karabela'' to escort a ship containing survivors of Armageddon. [[spoiler: When Hyperion follows Joros' orders to destroy the ship, the Space Wolves take it as a sign that they can no longer entrust any of the refugees to the Inquisition.]]
* ShipSinking: After a half a book of ShipTease between Hyperion and Annika, the ending makes it clear that it doesn't work out between the two, [[spoiler:as they end up on opposite sides during the Months of Shame and their final meeting years later ending as an unpleasant one.]]
* SitcomArchNemesis: A one-sided example with Clovon to Hyperion. Hyperion finds it difficult to tolerate his presence since Clovon was a cult leader before joining Annika's warband.
* SmallGirlBigGun: Downplayed with Annika and her custom Mk Vb Godwyn pattern boltgun. The Inquisitor herself is tall for a normal human; it just so happens that her boltgun is scaled for the much bigger Space Marines.
* SpaceColdWar: Between [[spoiler:the Inquisition]] and the Space Wolves after Armageddon. It turns hot after [[spoiler:the Inquisition]] fires on the Space Wolf flagship under the guise of a truce.
* TheSpeechless: Galeo who can only communicate through telepathy as a result of his injury.
* SpotlightStealingSquad: Arguably, the Space Wolves. Though mostly about the Grey Knights and, in particular, the rise to fame of one of their number, the book goes to great lengths to show the Space Wolves as being the nicer, more honourable and generally more tactically savvy than the protagonists in nearly every scene in which they appear. Having said that, this IS the Warhammer 40,000 universe, so concepts like "nice" and "heroic" are vague at best.
* StopWorshippingMe: Bjorn the Fell-Handed constantly tells the Inquisition and Grey Knights to stop kneeling before him.
* ThisIsUnforgivable: Logan Grimnar ordered his forces to never return fire during the campaign to shield the loyal guardsmen from [[spoiler:the Inquisition and the Grey Knights]], and was even willing to attend an armistice to discuss terms of de-escalating the conflict. All of this goes out of the window when they fire on his flagship during said armistice, after which Grimnar vows to fight to the death.
* ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks: At Armageddon, Enceladus and Galeo throw their swords at a daemon's wrist in an attempt to help Hyperion. [[spoiler: Unfortunately, said daemon was Angron so it didn't work, and [[{{RealityEnsues}} since Galeo no longer had a sword to defend himself with, he's subsequently hacked to pieces by daemons.]]]]
* TrainingFromHell: The book opens with Hyperion's harsh training as a Grey Knight initiate.
* TranquilFury: Grimnar makes it clear during his meeting with Kysnaros that he's pissed that [[spoiler:the Inquisition]] opened fire on his flagship in spite of their armistice. [[spoiler: When Kysnaros demands that he surrender, Grimnar and his retinue proceed to swiftly kill the Grey Knights Grand Master who allegedly ordered the attack on his ship and then several Justicars.]]
* UnskilledButStrong: Hyperion. He only recently became a Grey Knight but his potential as a psyker is immense. [[spoiler:He shatters Angron's daemonic blade with a desperate psychic attack at Armageddon, and then becomes a Prognosticar by the book's DistantFinale.]]
* WeWillMeetAgain: Though the conflict between both sides ends in a (albeit grudging) peace deal, both the Space Wolves and [[spoiler:the Inquisition]] know they will likely end up fighting each other again sooner or later.
* WhamLine:
-->'''Prognosticar Torcrith:''' Ready yourselves to shed a [[spoiler:primarch]]'s blood. The [[spoiler:Lord of the Twelfth Legion]] awaits you on Armageddon.
* YouAreInCommandNow: Following [[spoiler:Galeo's death and Enceladus' coma]], command of the ''Karabela'' falls to Hyperion.

* LightningBruiser: Tactical Dreadnought armour looks as though it should be heavy, lumbering and very restrictive, however most of the characters who wear it are still able to act and fight faster and more effectively than those in 'normal' Power Armour. Most notably Logan Grimnar, who can move so fast in his suit that he was able to draw his axe, swing it and kill another Terminator-clad character before anyone else in the room could even react.

Squad Castian tries to object, finding the armor cumbersome, but Taremar reasons that every second a Grey Knight survives is of the upmost importance when they're going up against [[spoiler:an army of daemons, among whom are several Bloodthirsters and a Daemon Primarch]]. The armor helps the Grey Knights endure the attacks of lesser daemons but [[spoiler:Angron]]'s {{BFS}} cuts through them like cake. However, [[LightningBruiser Logan Grimnar]] is still able to act and fight faster and more effectively than those in 'normal' Power Armour. He moves so fast in his suit that he was able to draw his axe, swing it and kill another Terminator-clad character before anyone else in the room could even react. Hyperion notes, however, that Grimnar's armor was breaking because of being pushed to its limits.
