TheSword
Legend
To be fair to them. The warp, witches, daemons and everything scary you ever thought was under your bed as a child IS real and IS coming to get you. It’s an extreme threat that has generated an equally extreme reaction. Hence the distopia being plausible.
What is really clever is that you can see where the good intentions got twisted by mankind’s sins and the sheer logistical nightmare of ruling a galaxy. It’s a setting where Mankind’s grasp definitely has exceeded its reach.
I really like when books like Dan Abnetts show good folks in this setting, doing their best in bad circumstances. They show how things could have been different.
