Im just going to weigh in and say that 40k's glory is what made alot of 80s films great. Sheer, unadultrated machismo to the point where it parodies itself CONSTANTLY. 40k is great because it is an insane and unrealistic setting that makes no logical sense unless it plays the usual dance of Sci-fi jazz hands. I've argued the validity of Chainswords for hours on various forums, the weapon alone speaks volumes of 40ks rule of cool.

Fact is 40k is 40k because it takes all this madness, loose and fast fluff, and decides, "No fuck winking over my shoulder, I'm going to play this shit 100% straight and with no godamned care in the world." That at least is MY take on 40k and why I so enjoy everything it has to offer, hell even the Tau are fun once you get over the inital overtly sleek mechy design.
