while i realize it is not the comic book forum, is it acceptable to ask about 40k comics in here?

i have a physical copy of Imperial Gothic, which I like, and is fun, but a lot of the comics seem to be GW selling poo poo "oh here's a necron army oh and now space marines are fighting tau too and oh wow theres eldar look at all the poo poo you can buy" and they're kind of crummy in terms of story.

are there any good ones out there?

I really enjoyed the short story collection The Accursed, are there any other similar short story collections?

E: i've read all the abnett stuff I probably should have specified. I do really appreciate the suggestion dude below me.

Are there corporations in Wh40k?

I know there is some level of capitalism at the individual level, people own shops or businesses or whatever.

It seems like goods produced on large scale are produced under the auspices of the state, either directly or through some form of quota system.

Phrases like "subsector trade" are often used in WH40k but is most Interstellar trade operated through the Administratum and its agents? Or is there some sort of commercial fleet?

If it is the latter I guess that implies the existence of multi-planetary commercial entities.

I never got the impression that the Orks believed in reincarnation, it was just that Ghaz needed there to always be a Makari, so there always was. It was his position as the focus of so much WAAAGH energy that allowed him to basically bring him back from the dead, an Orc version of Imperial miracles or Chaos boons

Yeah way back in like the 2nd or 3rd edition of the rulebook it explicitly states that Orks believe their spirits will be vomited back into another body after they die by Gork or Mork.

They probably were literally a child during 4th edition and formed a deep emotional bond with the lore of the day.

I started out in 2003 or something, took a long break, and now my mind just slides right off any Primaris stuff. :v:

I mean "space marines but even more super" is not exactly a thrilling narrative development.

I too would like to see a book of space marines sucking and loving like the knights templar, but has anyone ever cleared up it up whether they actually have genitals? I vaguely remember some sort of assertion that they don't have cocks.

THEY ARE MEMBERS OF THE GENESTEALER CULT AND THE CHILD IS A BABY PURESTRAIN

but also

There are other genestealer cultists in the craft that are members of the Adeptus Administratum so you guessed that part right

Isn't that the end twist of a 40k short story? I feel like I've read it before.

It bothers me when chaos space marines refer to imperial forces as "loyalist." Why would a marine in the word bearers conceptualize their own actions as a disloyalty?

It makes sense since they regard the Emperor as false, therefore they are loyal to a bad cause. They're proud of being disloyal to a false emperor.

You can't be disloyal to a ruler that isn't legitimate.

So in Angel Exterminatus, Kroeger relives the experiences of a soldier named Karl in the trenches of WW1, and I'm just thinking about how Graham had the potential to create the funniest moment in Black Library history if he'd named him a certain little something else.

Its true they should have named him "Chad Kroeger"

Technically those are just other Tyranids that are being carried for the purpose of puking on the enemy. Or spitting out little beetles at the enemy. Or firing penises at the enemy.

All of these are, more or less, real weapons that they have actually had.
