so astartes are sexually infertile but, theoretically, are capable of having sex. that's what i thought and thanks for the info :)

the worlds of 40k aren't all grim-darkness, just the overwhelming majority of them. there are worlds which will be similar to ours in terms of quality of life, but in an empire of a million worlds they are the very privileged few. plus 'nemesis' is set in 30k when the general quality of life for imperial citizenry was markedly higher - it was the golden age of the imperium, with a still-living emperor and his sons, but that empire has taken quite a pummeling in the 10,000 years since, and is a much bleaker place...
