Yeah. Starship Troopers and the early Bolo novels between them basically spawned military sci-fi. Actually, looking at some of the tanks and heavy weapons in 40K it's fair to say there's some Bolo inspiration in there, hell, just make a Baneblade that runs on AI and you have an early model Bolo. Agreed, now that you mention it there are plenty of weapons and pieces of tech that seem like early versions of the stuff in 40k, the propoganda they show also seems like the kind of stuff the Imperium would use to get people to join the guard, PDF, etc.

Also, whoa man, easy on the h-word, we know that certain mods will get the vapors if they see that!
