  • 1,000 per day. Every day. For Ten. Thousand. Years. So you know, just a drop in the bucket, no big deal.

    3,650,000,000 psykers are sacrificed since the Emperor went on the Golden Throne. That’s just over half the population of Earth.

    Writers have issue with scope. 1,000 a day seems shocking until you compare it a 1,000 out of a galaxy of trillions or whatever comes next. It is a literal drop in the bucket.

    I think the 1,000 was picked cause it’s high enough of a number for our brains to be like “That’s terrible!”


  • GW constantly pushes Space Marines and to a lesser extent the Imperial Guard as a majority of time as the protagonist. People don’t have the media literacy to understand that protagonist does not equal the hero. The protagonist is just the main character of the story and they can be evil or good or anything in between.

    I feel like the satire is being washed out to support the line that shall always go up.

    But hey, Space Marines goes “Pew! Pew! Pew!”
