Warhammer 40k fluff thread VI: They see me Ward'en, they haten

[Zorg]

Well... yes. I do tend to trust these figures rather more than those that are mathematically, demographically, and economically impossible. I'm wierd that way.

If you're not willing to accept the ludicrously impossible, then 40k is probably not the right universe to be trying to get a handle on

Says the guy who happily discards the setting's most recognisable tagline.

I don't discard it, but I do regard it as a bombastic and overblown marketing tool / propaganda, and can point to sources that prove it to be so.


Edit: Necromunda, like all hives, relies heavily on imported food - its own production is not self sustaining.


Edit edit: Working in a mine doesn't mean you have a terrible life... it means you work in a mine.
The main character of Dead Men Walking is a shift supervisor in a mine, and we see him out at dinner with his girl, he's thinking about proposing and various other "normal" things. Of course it all goes rather pear-shaped when the Necrons wake up, but if they hadn't been asleep down there he would have had a pretty good life.
