The Great Heresy Hoax
In the top panel, Homer Simpson confidently declares, “I’ve read all the Horus Heresy books,” as if this is something any mere mortal can accomplish. He sits there with a look of blissful ignorance, completely unaware of the sheer insanity of what he just claimed. Any Warhammer 40K fan immediately knows this is a lie, not out of malice, but out of pure human impossibility. The Horus Heresy series is not just a book collection—it’s a literary black hole, constantly expanding, never-ending. Even veteran readers, buried under their mountains of Black Library novels, wouldn’t dare make such a statement. But Homer does, and now he must face the consequences.
The Ultimate Lore Reality Check
The bottom panel delivers the truth with surgical precision. The skeptical expert, looking utterly exhausted from dealing with similar cases, coldly shuts down Homer’s delusion. “No, you haven’t, Mr. Simpson, nobody has,” he states with the authority of someone who has seen too many souls lost to the madness of Warhammer lore. His face tells the real story—he once tried, he once believed, but now he knows the truth. Even the most dedicated lore-masters tremble before the sheer weight of the Horus Heresy’s endless tomes. It is a war of attrition, and Black Library is winning.
The Eternal Struggle of Warhammer Fans
This meme captures the grimdark reality of trying to keep up with Warhammer’s ever-expanding lore. Even if you somehow finished all the Horus Heresy books, the Siege of Terra series would still be waiting for you like an unfinished war campaign. Then, by the time you finish that, new books will have appeared, ensuring that you are never truly done. It’s a joke that hits too close to home because every Warhammer fan knows the pain of their ever-growing reading list. The grim truth is that in the far future of Warhammer 40K, there is no completion, only backlog. And that is why this meme is both hilarious and a little too real.
