Trope was cut/disambiguated due to cleanup


* AuthorityGrantsAsskicking: A few factions follow this logic. The Astra Militarum Commanders can hail from privileged families and benefit from superior training since childhood, while the Adeptus Mechanicus' Tech Priests' ranks determines how much technology they have access to, so the higher-ups can have their bodies upgraded into more deadly mixes of metal and flesh. Also Tyranid Hive Tyrants are the ones responsible for leading other Tyranids on the battlefield so the Swarm engineers them to be as tough as possible.

Bishonen is for Asian media only and Angelic Beauty fits better.

** The Blood Angels hail from Baal, an irradiated, mutant-infested, post-apocalyptic hellhole. They seek out similar worlds for training and recruitment purposes, such as an asteroid field orbiting a black hole where quakes can send mountains falling into the void and all sorts of evil nightmares lurk about, which is a thousand miles to the nearest neighboring asteroid. This make the recruits' transformations into [[{{Bishonen}} the most angelic]] of Space Marines all the more miraculous, and may help explain the chapter's preference for shock assaults.

Bishonen is fan-speak only.


* {{Bishonen}}: Lucius the Eternal, before he started scarring his face to commemorate his victories.
** Sanguinius, Primarch of the Blood Angels, was very much a pretty boy and a fairly nice guy for this setting. Fittingly, he was called the Angel, but that was also due to his [[WingedHumanoid wings]].
** Mephiston, Lord of Death has it in spades. Also a Blood Angel, and considered by some to be Sanguinius reborn.
** Fulgrim the Phoenician, Primarch of the Emperor's Children, before he became a Daemon Prince.
** Followers of Slaanesh can be this, but most tend to mutate or become increasingly grotesque as they descend deeper into debauchery.
** Slaanesh itself counts ([[{{Hermaphrodite}} kinda]]) and has such a divine and unholy beauty, that looking upon him with your own eyes would be to forfeit your soul.

Blade On A Stick is a disambig


* BladeOnAStick: A number of Grey Knights' Nemesis Force Weapons come in the form of glaives, as it was their signiture weapon in early editions of the game.
** The Necron warscythe is one of the most feared close-combat weapons in existence-- a glaive that can cut through ''energy fields'' without slowing down.
** The honor blades used by Tau Ethereals. The blades are swung fast enough to become invisible, and are used in bloodless duels to settle disputes. Aun'shi carries one on the battle field, and is skilled enough with it to ''kill enough Orks that they are to afraid to go near him.''
** The Berserker Glaive from the 3rd edition of Chaos Space Marines. Averted on occasion, though, as Daemon Weapons do not always resemble their given description.
