Can anyone fill me in on the Warhammer Lore about The Imperium of Man and why fascists seem to like them so much?

  • The difference between the empire in Star Wars and the Imperium is that the Imperium is essentially inescapable.

    It has endured for 10,000 years, it has a million worlds. Non-human intelligence is mistrusted at absolute best. Separatism is not tolerated, Alderon was just Tuesday morning, and probably literally a quadrillion people thought they deserved it anyway. Communications and travel can take hundreds of years depending on the conditions, so a response fleet might not even arrive in your lifetime, or your children's lifetime, but it will come, and even a low estimate of the Imperiums levy would mean they command around a trillion soldiers.

    Basically the Imperium of Man is a suffocating, unstoppable, grinding hate machine.

    It is human society twisted into eternal, nightmarish, inescapable horror.

    • So Games Workshop just published a "40k is satire, nazis pls leave" statement. What do you nerds think?

  • Lore was updated to make the Tau suck.
