** Speaking of, Slaanesh up to this point has been portrayed as a LaughablyEvil TooKinkyToTorture god([[AmbiguousGender dess]]) with an ExtremeLibido. ''[[MoodWhiplash Not when summoned by Russ]]''. The rhyme she gives as she approaches the Dark Eldar makes it ''very'' clear [[AndIMustScream what is in store for their souls]] when she gets her hands on them, and as the rhyme continues, you hear screams in the background grow louder and louder. It almost makes you feel bad for the ''Dark Eldar''. Almost.

* InUniverse example, but apparently "[[Literature/InquisitionWar The Inquisitor]]" is such a ''[[DarthWiki/SoBadItsHorrible bad]]'' book that it's equivalent to ''torture'', and gives anyone who reads it hallucinations of the warp.

** Proprietus's reaction to Boy telling him he'd met the Emperor in the flesh is... not friendly at all. Not only does he "censor" Boy by taping his mouth shut, he also threatens to kill him and his whole family for daring to even say such a thing. Needless to say, Boy ''snaps'' and beats him within an inch of his life with his vox-caster and his legs, mortally injuring him in the process. Then Asshailer arrives and manages to momentarily stop Boy by shouting so hard he makes his ears bleed. If it wasn't for Karstodes' timely arrival, Asshailer would've killed Boy.

** Four words seen mere seconds before Russ falls asleep both ratchets up and perfectly encapsulates the horror of this sequence: "Slaanesh enters the materium." The [[HellIsThatNoise distorted sound]] that plays as Slaanesh does so really sells the moment.

** When the Tyranid figureheads, the Norn-Queen and the Swarmlord, are both onscreen, it becomes clear that they aren't simply animalistic abominations. The Norn-queen nearly kills the entirety of Death Watch without raising a talon before Kryptman manages to break its psychic assault, and then after that reveals it had used their time writhing in agony to summon defenses to its chambers and outnumber them. Meanwhile, after the Swarmlord takes the field, all of the effects of killing the Queen are ''immediately'' undone. And when the Marshall challenges it in close quarters, one expects it to leap at him, tear him apart to prove itself as its own one-man army and begin its own rampage... [[ItCanThink but it doesn't.]] It just stares at him before commanding a Gargoyle to do the job. The Hive Mind's strongest arms are also among its smartest, and they know they're too valuable to risk a direct conflict, and if the Ultramarines hadn't broken the frontline and allowed Calgar to challenge it directly, the Swarmlord would likely have never suffered a scratch short of complete Exterminatus.

* While it is still full of awesome and BlackComedy, the entire battle between Chaos Undivided and the Imperium forces in Episode 26 Part 1 is a horrific one-sided slaughter in the Daemons' favor. Seeing the various Order leaders, who proved themselves to be competent in the fight, getting massacred along with their forces shows just how powerful and merciless they are. Even [[MemeticBadass Kaldor Draigo]] is ineffectual for most of the fight, due to [[RandomNumberGod bad rolls from adhering to the tabletop rules]]. They would most assuredly have been wiped out if it wasn't for the Star Child fusing with Fyodor right at the end.

* The ending of Episode 18 has Lucius and his Noise Marines slaughter an entire Imperial Guard garrison whose screams can be hard over Lucius' daemonic cackling... [[MoodWhiplash which is interrupted by his phone ringing.]] Too bad it does nothing to make him less horrifying.

* In the fifth special, Asdrubael Vect's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ows47yrO8CU&t=3m50s cup-bearer, Timothy]]. He looks like the hybrid spawn between E.T. and a scrotum. If he was ever human, [[UncannyValley he barely looks like one now.]]

* We finally get to meet Bellisarius Cawl. In canon, Cawl's mind is made up of numerous copies of itself working in tandem. And the series ''hasn't forgotten this''. The Cawl we see in TTS is a Bi-polar maniac that is capable of some very dangerous mood-swings due to the differing minds [[VoiceOfTheLegion all speaking in unison]]. Worse yet? The fabricator General seems to have him as a hit-man, setting him loose to kill Kitten and the Custodes after they discover the Proteus protocol. And given how ancient and powerful they are in the canon tabletop, this mental state makes him infinitely more dangerous. Even to someone like Kitten.

** The Emperor is known to have a CompellingVoice that can being peace of mind and confidence in his charisma to anyone, especially those devoted to him. Helbrecht's vocalizations as he's winding down from having it used on him make it sound almost like the hate-fueled battle craze is trying to ''actively resist'' the compulsion. The Dark Angels hatred is so strong, even the Emperor's word needs a moment to get past it.

** While there is something absolutely ''hysterical'' about killing the Drukhari with kindness, the sheer calm and serenity that the Star-Child shows while he does so is absolutely unnerving. Vect and his forces are ''melting from raw emotion'' right in front of the Star-Child, and he doesn't seem to ''care at all''.

** While it's mostly cheerful, this episode proves conclusively that the Skaven do exist in the 40k universe since the ''Great Horned Rat itself'' tries to crawl into Boy's room and tempt him to worship. While Boy banishes it with contemptuous ease, the fact that it could do this proves how scary-powerful it is to manifest in the Materium. It also shows that the kingdoms of Intelligent Rats under the surface of Holy Terra were not just a Mythology Gag about the Skaven, they're ''actual Skaven.''

** Terrifyingly, Boy implies that there are [[RatMen intelligent rats]] with an empire under the feet of those on Terra. Those who know their ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}}'' lore can piece together that ''Skaven exist and their kingdom exists on Holy Terra itself.''

As [[DeconstructiveParody funny as the series gets]], one must remember this is still a parody of the originator of the term "Grim Dark"...
