Editing Comedy Marines (section)

==Tactics and Organization==
Small groups of Marines are often deployed to Hive Worlds suspected of [[Alpha Legion]] infiltration. Their jokes keep the locals' morale high, and frequently disrupt Chaos Recruitment Schemes (as it's difficult to get people to join when you are the butt of that many jokes.)

Their greatest elite units are called the Standup Marines, with embedded vox speakers in their [[Pauldrons|pauldrons]] holding nothing but a power microphone, delivering pun after pun at the enemy. They are more feared than the Noise Marines, for even the mightiest followers of chaos can't keep their thoughts in check in this rain of puns.

Their [[Librarian|Librarians]] keep a record of their greatest jokes in a grand Tome of Comedy (or Libris Comedius). This Tome is only ever deployed in the largest and grandest battles, for even the greatest jokes are less effective when you hear them frequently.

[[Eversor]] Assassin-style unit called <s>Biggus Dickus</s>Danus Cookus, trained to be an extremely terrible comedian, is able to use this training to bring great emotional distress to his chosen target. Breaks down all defenses and will of even the toughest opponents. One powerful Danus Cookus is said to be so unfunny that even mighty greater daemons break down and cry in his presence.

However, the Comedy Marines tread on paths that can be dangerously close to chaos. Several great Marines, such as Gilbertus Gottfriedius, and the one known solely as Kramerus, have fallen into the sway of the warp, their once merely hilarious jests becoming hateful and cruel.

Chief Librarian Mikus Winslow, [[Psyker]] of 1000 Sounds, is one of the chapter's foremost Psykers, able to sow confusion and such among enemey ranks by causing random farts and rude noises among them. Among one of his best is his Phantom Vomiting, which can also be deployed with scent for added confusion.

In most Chapters, the 1st Company houses revered [[Terminator]] armor.
The 1st Company of the Comedy Marines is the home of the legendary Ticklewilly Assault Force For You (or TAFFY).
Donning the latest in Tactical Tickling Armor, these brave souls split the sides of Chaos and Xenos alike, with weapons like the Gigglefist, Lightlytouching Claws, and the dreaded Seltzercannon.

The Comedy Marines are the only known chapter to accept transfers from other chapters, and frequently at the extreme dissatisfaction of the local commander and inquisitors.

The Comedy Marines also used to count among their numbers a glorious dreadnought, veteran of many battles, nicknamed 'Blue Genie' for his most amusing impressions. Brother Williamus, unfortunately, left alone to secure the evacuation of a hive, fell after several months of uninterrupted combat against the evil [[Nurgle]]'s marines of pestilence and despair. He is still fondly remembered to this day by his brothers.
