The only real problem with them is that they by and large have also forgotten this and are so focused on the bad and the ugly that the good is often tossed to the side and run over. My thoughts on the Man-Emperor’s plan is that he knows he can’t kill the gods as entities but he CAN kill the personas they have come to know themselves as.
The Ultra Marines don’t have to be super OP. Their name doesn’t refer to them being “ultra” marines. It stems from their home planet of Ultramar. Basically, you’d get the same result calling them “Earth Marines” or something stupid like that.
There are other chapters out there from other legions with other weapons and tactics. But Matt Ward has such a massive hard on for the blueberries that he places an excessive amount of importance on them, to the exclusion of all the other Space Marine legions.
This decision pissed off a lot of fans who felt that their own legions and chapters were being insulted. Matt Ward is basically a fanfiction author who got hired on as an official writer for the franchise.

To be honest, they have to be. If that universe played by the logical rules and actual numbers then there would be no universe cause nids would consume everything.
Games Workshop accidentally made nids into, in lore, the most overpowered thing ever.
I mean, their numbers are actually limitless, not some Stacraft BS either, literally limitless cause they consume and create more units before anyone could kill them. I mean this is a universe where Orkz are a major problem. Nids are basically that, just like 1000x more ridiculous.
What about Gods of Chaos? Well, nids can bent warp, kill chaos beings and are barely affected by mental attacks.
Tau? Yeah, sure. They have problems with the Imperium. Eldar? Too few to do anything. Necrons? We do not actually know the numbers but I doubt they could face the uncountable hordes of the nids.
So yeah, Ultrasmurfs have to be OP. Hell, Imperium has to be at least a little OP, otherwise there would be no Imperium by now. No Warhammer 40k. Nada.
It’s not strictly headcannon. The TTS series explains what is going on in the franchise through a combination of out of character information and in character portrayal. It draws attention to how the Ultra Marines appear to be invincible, which is a satire of how the Ultra Marines are Matt Ward’s favorite chapter and he constantly writes them up to be the best.
There are also many other plot points and lore friendly material in TTS that is presented in a comedic fashion, but is still accurate to the source material.

So basically its headcanon territory. Oki. While I like to laugh at the thing when a new episode comes out once in a blue moon, I was actually worried there for a second that Games Workshop actually said that they accept that as canon.
It’s canon in the sense that it explains the Warhammer 40k lore in a satirical way that makes learning both fun and interesting. The following video gives a quick summary of each deity outside of the Man Emperor of Mankind.
Actually, the Text to Speech series revealed that the Chaos Gods do have elements of good to them, which is often overlooked by the brainwashed masses of the empire. The Chaos Gods are living avatars of human consciousness, and they exhibits both good and bad qualities based on human consciousness. I’m rushed for time writing this, but here’s a quick summary.
As violent as Khorne is, he is still an honorable warrior and demands as such from his servants. Without Khorne, we would have no sense of fair play and honor, and would pretty much use any means at our disposal to achieve victory in battle. Regardless if such means were necessary or not.
As a creature of stagnation, Nurgle provides stability to the universe. Without him, the universe would be in a constant state of roiling change and destruction. Also, in a way, Nurgle is the incarnation of nature, itself.
As the lord of schemes, Tzeentch encourages a higher level of intelligence and creativity in his followers. Without him around, mankind would have no creative streak, or capacity to think outside the box. We’d all be simple thinking robots.
And Slaanesh represents both sides of the emotional spectrum, good and bad. Without bad experiences, we can’t appreciate the good ones, and so the world would become stale and boring. Conversely, without good experiences to distract from the bad, everybody would be totally miserable and therefor would have no desire to continue living.

i made this by using a sprite making program to copy and paste vectors and ms paint to write the letters, i am that skilled in ms paint, later once i am done with reading the first fallout equestria i will try to draw them rather than copy and paste them into ms paint.
