FABIUS BILE: GODS ARE FOR THE WEAK. I AM NOT WEAK. | Warhammer 40k Lore

“Win or lose, the gods feast on our deeds. A man pets a stray, and his small pleasure in the act of kindness feeds Slaanesh. A woman strikes her crying child and that awful moment of elation she feels feeds Khorne. A Munitorum drone considers suicide. Nurgle grows fat on his despair. A merciful strategist devises a plan for bloodless victory, and Tzeentch is content. The Word Bearers think the gods crave worship. But the gods care for nothing save filling their bellies with our sorrows. Intentionally or not, we are all meat for the beast. Even you.”

Chaos Gods manifesting in real space. Fabious Bile: "Aurora Borealis."

Listening to Fabius and Cawl talking to each other is one of the most surreal yet oddly humorous things you could hear in the 40k setting

Bricky: "you are referring to Fabulous Bile" DK: "AH, FABIUS BILE!" Notice how DK DIDN'T fall for the trap and did indeed say his name right when Bricky baited him. DK truly did know his name

Let's remember everyone: Fabius' Atheism is so strong that demons are weakened in his presence.

I imagine trazyn and fabius being like kids trading pokemon cards “ill give you my PSA 10 fulgrim if you give me your limited edition emperors children gene seed”

Fun fact, a big reason the Blight was such a big deal is a ship carrying most of the Emperor's Children Geneseed vanished. This happened because Trazyn stole it. This whole thing was Trazyn's fault.

I cannot believe that you didn't even pause at how hard of a line "I think therefore I am, they do not therefore they are not" truly is Not only is it just cool, but it also encapsulates WHY Fabius doesn't believe in the chaos gods - Chaos is just an amalgam of mortal emotions and aren't sapient beings in their own right, demons do not think for themselves and are just driven by the emotion they are made out of. That's why, to Bile, magic and demons are logically explainable phenomena, because the warp is its own "universe" with its own laws (which is explicitly molded by the thoughts of mortals), and as a result, the chaos gods (and demons) are equivalent to, like, gravity and magnetism To him, people are "corrupted by chaos" in the same way an alcoholic is corrupted by alcoholism - it's just a personality flaw (or a dedication to being angry). Which, with how chaos works, is kind of the case anyway

I love the image of Slaanesh looking directly at Fabius Bile, and in response he just chants “GOD NOT REAL” and chugs every sedative known to man, and several that aren’t known

"Nuh Uh" Fabius Bile, chief apothecary, and general commander of the III legion, as his organs are shutting down from the strength of the ruinous power's gaze

Fabius Bile. The only Chad in 40k Chad enough to look Slaanesh in the face and go: “Nuh-uh.”

"Gods are cringe" - Fabius Bile

Im upset Brickford didn't expand on the Spider thing Fabulous Williams spider arms have come to life through Warp nonsense and occasionally lay eggs. The thing that bothers Bile the most about this is he has no idea what the legs are mating with to produce eggs

DK: I almost said semen. DK, my guy, the hungry man thinks of bread

Bile would collect Skaven miniatures

Don't forget that Fabius Bile straight-up looked Slaanesh in the eye and denied its existence. Edit: I'm glad Bricky brought it up. It's a great scene.

The Fabius dressing up mice in costumes bit is likely a reference to an 1800s mini terrarium from France that featured two preserved frogs in human-esque posture and garb, frozen in a dramatic pose dueling with rapiers. Just goes to show they had memes long before the internet, and Fabius would 100% be the kind of guy to note that

“Ok, we need to talk about this shit your doing, Bob. It getting out of hand.” -Lucius the Eternal When Lucius is being the sane and rational one, a line has been crossed.

Fabulous Bob is the kind of atheist to get stared at by a large chunk of Slaanesh, have his organs crushed or start failing by the act and go "nope, just galactic phenomena, nothing there but the wind"

Bile was in no way panicked when Slaanesh was judging him, the gaze of the god however put such a massive toll on his body that his armor, by itself, decided to pump him full of enhancing drug to keep him ... well ... alive. One of his heart even stops in the middle of it. He is not scared, he is defiant.
