The Discovery of the Scroll of Truth
The comic begins with an adventurer, a small green character wearing a wide-brimmed hat and carrying a backpack, who has finally found what he has been seeking for 15 years—the legendary Scroll of Truth. The setting is a dark, mysterious cave filled with glowing crystals, evoking a sense of excitement and discovery. As he triumphantly pulls the scroll from its resting place, he declares its name with joy, believing that whatever knowledge it contains must be of great significance. This moment is presented with dramatic energy, setting up the punchline to come.
A Divisive Truth Revealed
As the adventurer unrolls the Scroll of Truth, instead of revealing some profound or ancient wisdom, it displays a screenshot of a YouTube comment and thumbnail, which reads: “The Tau are RUINING 40K!” The image features a shocked Tau warrior alongside a bewildered content creator, clearly taken from a Warhammer 40,000 discussion or rant video. This moment is a humorous jab at the often exaggerated and polarized opinions in the Warhammer community, where certain factions—like the Tau—tend to attract strong opinions, either as beloved underdogs or as lore-breaking newcomers. The Scroll of Truth, instead of offering wisdom, delivers a meme-worthy moment reflecting online discourse.
Rejection of the So-Called Truth
Rather than accepting this revelation, the adventurer reacts with immediate frustration, exclaiming “NYEHHH!” and angrily tossing the scroll away as he storms off. His dramatic rejection of the statement mirrors how some fans dismiss certain opinions outright, refusing to entertain viewpoints they strongly disagree with. This adds to the humor of the comic, as it pokes fun at the way Warhammer 40,000 discussions—especially about factions like the Tau—can spiral into passionate debates. Ultimately, the comic cleverly satirizes both online gaming communities and the intense, sometimes over-the-top reactions people have when engaging in fandom discourse.
