The main reason that the Wh40k games are rated 18+ is because of blood and gore.

For the Dawn of War games( which are real time strategy games) it is because when engaged in melee combat units get excuted when they run out of health

and in Spacemarine(a thrid person shooter) because you excute enemys to regain health and enemys gan be blown in to tiny pieces, cut in half, ect.

So in short the only reason that the newer Wh 40k games are rated 18+ is because of blood and gore I own all of the ones menioned and that is the only "adult theme" in either of the games that I mentioned.

Also as a side note necrons don't suck out souls, they just don't have any, that is the providence of some champions of chaos, and greater deamons.

Also taking away gore from warhammer 40k game would make it less in line with the warhammer 40k universe as depcted in the lore.

A way around that would have a game where it is just necrons fighting necrons which I would find very interesing and probably buy.

But aside from that I don't think that taking a blood and gore would be a good Idea as it would upset a good chunck of the fan base. (mabye have an option where you could turn that blood and gore off as an compromise)
