    yes, the term grimdark originates from this.
    "Grimdark is a subgenre of speculative fiction with a tone, style, or setting that is particularly dystopian, amoral, and violent. The term is inspired by the tagline of the tabletop strategy game Warhammer 40,000: "In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war." - Wikipedia

    Are there civilians? Yes, most humans in the WH40k universe are civilians. There are all sorts of societies and local government types in the Imperium. Some places people live like primitives, other places they live like hyper-advanced ants in massive hive cities. There are probably even planets where things are very similar to current day earth, where things are peaceful and normal. You can live a pretty normal life in the Imperium, you go to your normal nine to five job, you regularly attend church services, you go on vacations, you enjoy fast food, and then one day you look up into the sky and see a Tyranid hive fleet in orbit, and now you're fucked.

      @@scar445 Yes, there are worlds like that, but there are also worlds that are not like that. The Imperium of Man is very, very diverse, and planetary governments have a great deal of autonomy so long as they fulfill their obligations to the Imperium. Those obligations are usually the provision of manpower for the Imperial Guard, or a share of their industrial or agricultural output. So long as you pay your taxes and don't do anything heretical the Imperium really doesn't care if you're a democracy, a feudal monarchy, a military junta, or a mega-corporation. Even the way people worship the Emperor can vary a lot.

    He addressed this in the podcast he's part of, Adeptus Ridiculous, but the Guardsman are a little more nuanced in their tactics than he sold it as in this series. They win through strategy and tactics primarily, as they're an immensely well organized fighting force (for a force of its size anyway). They have weapons that often are not as effective gun-for-gun with their enemies, and against some of these enemies they don't even have the numbers advantage either. They just apply the force they have intelligently, and when they do win, their tactics are a large factor as to why they do so.
    That said selling it as numbers and sheer firepower also isn't WRONG, as, no matter what anyone says, you can only organize groups of half a million men so well, and at some point it does just become "Shoot anything that moves until it stops moving"

    • @aregulargamer1

      Yeah, it really depends with guard.
      The average tends to be along the lines of competent enough modernish tactics, albeit adjusted for total war across a continental scale with tens of millions of soldiers in the field.
      Above average is straight-up better than what we have today, because you get units of borderline cyborgs that can see through walls and have guns that blast through cover, body armour, and person in one hit. They move fast and hit hard because their homeworlds can afford to give every man the good stuff.
      Below average has shit like literal medieval peasants given laser guns and sent to die in chainmail body armor while waving hundreds of colourful flags.

      @@ChicagoReacts Basically the golden throne is a literally mountain sized mechanism which the emperor acts as a key central component, this massive machine creates a guiding light in 40k's version of hyperspace called the warp and the emperor acts as a sort guide for that light which is used by the ships of the imperium to navigate and reach distant stars across the galaxy.
      To keep the emperor alive on the golden throne takes the lifeforce of over a thousand psykers a day (psyker being a 40k term for psychics) as time passes and more of the ancient non understood machinery fails it takes more psykers to sustain him.
      To create the psychic light of the astronomicon (the big beacon in 40k hyperspace they use to navigate) takes a choir of thousands of more psykers as well as the emporer... think of the psyker choir like a light bulb filament making the light and the emperor as a lens focusing and guiding it.
      While you may think okay that blows why would these psykers agree to this? they dont each and every imperial world hunts them down and imprisons them awaiting the black-ships of the imperium to take their psykers to terra/earth to be tested.... most become food for the throne... the rest become a plethora of things such as
      1, astropaths... only psychic power can allow for interstellar communications faster than light, no astropath means you gotta send a ship and that is very slow to arrive.
      2, sanctioned psykers.... while dangerous psykers are quite literally people who can bend reality with their minds which can make them very useful as, oracles, lie detectors, psychic warning systems and living weapons against other races.
      And many other lovely roles in the imperium require psykers but they are a literal double edged blade that can thanks to the warp cause literally hell to get loose on your world.
      These worlds hunt psykers because the warp (40k hyperspace) is inhabited by literal soulsucking demons and psykers get their powers thanks to being linked to the warp which means the demons can use them as gateways if they can posses them...
      All it can take is a single psyker being possessed to eventually create a literal doomsday cult that can eventually drag an entire planet of billions into the warp and thus transforming the world into a literal hellscape
      So yeah being a psyker sucks

    A bit of "Actually" regarding the soviets in WW2, more than half of the 26 millions casualties of Soviets were civilians, as a result of from German ethnic genocides, something to reference would be General Plan Ost.
    Combat personnel casualties was high due to some factors, one of them would be that the great purge getting rid of many competent or experienced officers, while what is left of them or the newly promoted ones still haven't got the time to get a grip on the job of their predecessors before the Blitzkrieg began; added that the Soviets were illy prepared for a war, German were basically able to snowball it until reaching their full extent of advance by the end of the year.

    The Primarchs are honestly way different than Hordack's clones. Because instead of being a copy, they are all different manifestations of his personality and soul, for example, while Magnus is the Emperor's thirst for knowledge and Psychic power, Guilliman is the emperor's pragmatism. They are also very individualistic and there are rivalries such as with Leman Russ and Magnus. So it's not really the best comparison, if anything the clone army from Star wars is closer since they're more individualist.

    lack of the Arbites makes me sad.
    point of order with the warp travel and astronomicon, it's like a compass. or more accurately, it's like magnetic north, and Navigators are the compass. when in the Warp, nothing is "real", direction/distance/time doesn't exist. Everything changes constantly (chaos), ships are (generally) protected by their Gellar Fields, and remain as points of stability and reality within the Warp, but as you can imagine traveling through such a place is difficult at the best of times. But the Astronomicon is a constant, stable, and "real" fixed point in the Warp. it's Terra. and as long as your Navigator can see it, they can plot a course to where you need to go. It gives the ship a frame of reference to go off of.
    Without the Astronomicon, ships *can still travel* the Warp. they just can't go for distance. They're capable of making shorter jumps, where the distance they travel is within the capabilities of their on-board equipment to calculate and adjust. A big part of the current setting is that there's a gigantic rift in space leading to the Warp that has split the galaxy in half. The part containing Terra still has the light of the Astronomicon. The other half, the Imperium Nihilis, is cut off. However while life sucks even more there, travel still continues.

Mostly all of Russians tried to somehow preserve people and even West beloved barrier squads were in reality SO little and mostly never had automatic weapon, even if they were catching a deserter, first thing they do was to tell him that he is needed to be there, for his country, for his brothers-in-arms and his family.

    Warp is... a manifestation of all minds of the whole galaxy at the same time, mixed together and forever colliding. Laws of physics of the material world don't work there for the most part - time and space are wibbly wobbly. That's why it makes FTL travel possible with careful navigation. Time in Warp can flow forward, backward, or even sidelines, or just stop. There are stories of ships that traveled in time because of that. So how a ship can even survive in the manifestation of all minds of the galaxy mixed together into maddening soup? Gellar field is an answer - that shield protects the ship from Warp, basically creating a bubble of stable physics. Atop of that, there are specially bred mutants called Navigators who have a third eye and can use this eye to gaze into Warp and see how it flows, without turning mad. Thus Astronomican is very important - It's like the only stable thing in a sea of utter instability. Without it, no Navigator nor ship will be able to find the way in Warp.

    I started my WH40K journey by accident.
    I bought a novel book "Space Wolves" for a long bus drive and fell for it immediately.
    Most of that book is about Ragnar Blackmane and his tribe trying to survive in inhospitable island-world where the most iron they have seen is in a normal dagger.
    From that they, if they are lucky, the huge battle they are fought against other primitive tribes they are elevated into a novitiate to Space Wolves. Mystic, 8 foot tall iron clad superhumans come to watch the battle, to judge the most worthy of the warriors to be ascended into the lowest ranks of the Wolves.
    Kind of like vikings in the by-gone era where the best of the warriors were ascended to the Valhalla.
    That one book lead to a series of books, from there to 4 meters of books in my bookstand, to the tabletop army of Space Wolves. I divided the one prepainted, pre owned army in two and invited my friend to have a game with me.
    In one year... 8 of my friends owned their own army, most of them owned two or three, and everyone chose a differend race / Space Marine Chapter.
    THAT magnetic is this universe is.
    ...also, next, I suggest you to watch the youtube video "Astartes", and after watching that through once (only 12 minutes), Take you time and watch it again with analysis. Because that opens the 99,9% of the things you miss in the first view. (astartes analysis with arch warhammer is a good one)

    The Stalinist, Soviet idea of sending masses of people in didn't work. At all. Not even once. There is this thing called machine guns. They don't really care just mow those people down. So yeah. Those people were meant to stall the enemy, so they can produce things.
    Which they also produced in crap quality. They increased the production of T-34s, but most of them stalled or broken down after just kilometers outside of the factory. They had zero visibility from inside of the tank, and due to bad tempering the armor cracked from trees, enemy bullets, or tank shells.
    After the war, some 90% of the man died. The Soviet Union had to reform their industry standards, so everything could be carried and done by woman on long term. Such as taking down bag sizes to 20-25kg. Here the max lifting a woman were allowed in work were that of 15kg. But they did plenty more. Tractors were made so woman can drive, repair and maintain them. Overall a super big workplace development, better for everyone.
    So overall yeah, not a very good tactic.

    melatonin in our skin helps prevent burns and with it skin cancer.
    so the brighter/hotter your home planet, the more melatonin you should have/the darker your skin would be.
    your eyes, because there is so little light would have also adjusted to either being thrown away for other better senses like taste/smell/hearing, or being insanely light sensitive.
    using Fire then becomes your worst nightmare as it would be like looking at the sun from 5 feet away every time you fire your rifle XD
