Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.

My act's not for everyone. Whenever I get on stage, I feel like I'm leading you into battle - you're not all going to be here at the end.

The 40K universe and the Imperium is a strong, unique flavour. It's dark and violent, xenophobic and fundamentalist, baroque and hyper-stylised. It is not science fiction so much as space-fantasy, what with the daemons, psychic powers and technology-as-magic. Some people just aren't going to dig it.

If you're not already familiar with 40K, I don't know if you'll enjoy it or not, outside broad extremes of taste. If your preferred science fiction format is bishonen having amusing romantic troubles in between piloting giant mecha against other mecha-pilot bishonen who wear black and sneer a lot, it might not be for you. If at some point in your life you've rocked out playing air guitar and head-banging to 2 Minutes to Midnight by Iron Maiden roaring from your stereo whilst wearing a cape made out of a bath-towel, it probably will.
