+++ Any person who speaks ill of the Emperor, the Imperium, cites his loyalty to any entity besides the Emperor, defaces holy artifacts or buildings, incites heretical thoughts or actions, talks openly about forbidden subjects and generally behaves in a manner disrespectful to all that is holy and good will have his extremities removed and left to bleed to death, for the Emperor's pleasure. The body will then be burned to ensure no taint remains. +++ The Imperial Infantryman's Uplifting Primer, Art 6741/09a +++

Heresy must be regarded with the appropriate seriousness.

In the most basic WH40K sense, heresy is the most severe accusation the Imperium could accuse you of which is mostly punishable by death. Heresy is mostly willingly consorting with Chaos, which the Imperium gravely forbids and anyone guilty of merely saying anything good about Chaos will merit a fist-fuck of Inquisitorial proportions. The other popular form of heresy is the defamation of the Emperor and the Imperium, which is basically saying anything remotely bad about the Emperor or the Imperium. The others are basically anything against the Imperial Creed which is pretty much everything not related to the veneration of the Empra.

What IS heresy?

It's all around you

The Imperium realizes that Heresy is a serious matter that must be explained with great detail from the lowliest servant to the highest Commander. And so with the aid of the most wise Inquisition and holy Ecclasiarchy, they have defined what is heresy in the eyes of our immortal God-Emperor:

  • EVERYTHING IS HERESY
  • EVERYTHING HERESY!*BLAM*

The trials for heresy are broad, but the majority of them occur like this, or this.

If you are not sure if something is heresy, it probably is. Play it safe and report it so that it can be properly blammed.

What do they do with heretics?

If your heresy was serious but you are repentant, the church may strap you to a horrific war machine called the Penitent Engine, which is a bit like a Space Marine dreadnought except it's designed to be really painful and humiliating for the pilot. What's creepy is that it's an entirely voluntary way of seeking absolution (obviously, since strapping someone to a war machine against his will is NOT SMART).

The Imperial Infantryman's Uplifting Primer says that a heretical guardsman should have his extremities severed and left to bleed to death. At the discretion of the commanders, he may just get moved to a penal battalion.

On remote Imperial worlds, minor heresies naturally spring up all the time because the Ecclesiarchy has a weak presence, so visiting preachers may try to take a softer approach with these things. They may even tolerate some fanciful unorthodox beliefs as long as they don't offend the core values of the church.

Extra heresy

Furries, the most common source of extra heresy

Extra heresy is a decree recently enacted by local Commissar Fuklaw. While we're still a bit sketchy on the details, it is clearly mentioned that Xenos love is Extra heretical (that just makes it even more appealing) but it is a well known fact that anything remotely related to furfaggatory is extra heretical.....weeelll unless you're one of the Space Wolves, anyway. After all, they were just badass space Vikings until a certain update and string of model releases ( We're looking at you thunderwolves and Canis). Punishment is still the generic execution by your local commissar... those dic*BLAM* -Most virtuous and excellent officers of the Emperor. Actually, if the Emperor saw all this shit, he'd have a single manly teardrop from his eye.

Matt Ward and his Khornate Knights are, without a doubt, Extra Heresy. Just get out of Games Workshop you... You... DOUBLE HERETIC!*BLAM*

What isn't heretical

The Imperium's patented heresy detector.

Much like the whole Rule 34 and Rule 35 gig, there are a few things that aren't heresy. Here's a short and general list:

  • The immortal God-Emperor of man
  • Veneration of the immortal Emperor
  • Dying for the Emperor in the most awesomesauce way possible.
  • Monster Girl Quest... wait what!?
  • Brutally torturing and slaughtering heaps of xenos, mutants and heretics, for the Emperor. (If you can live long enough to fire that flashlight that is--)
  • Building gigantic cathedral's of worship the size of sky scrapers for the Emperor.
  • Rendering said cathedrals spaceworthy.
  • Praising of the Emperor.
  • Hailing to the High Lords of Terra/Administratum/Ecclesiarchy- Er, Emperor. Harder this time.
  • Why are you still reading this instead of venerating the motherfucking Emperor?! You must be a heretic for having doubt! Die heretic scum! *BLAM*
