I hope it's good and people like it

But I gotta confess I don't really "get" Warhammer 40k.

"There's only war! Just anger and fighting! Factions whose members aren't there by idealogy but merely due to where they were born dedicate their lives to wiping each other out in an endless conflict that cannot ever resolve."

Well that's just boring.

You can't fight and be angry all the time. At some point you gotta go take a break, paint the house, go swiming with the kids, meet a nice lady.

Constant anger and war is just as boring as staring a blank wall if that's all that ever happens in the world. It's impossible to get invested.

I mean can you imagine a character in 40K whose job is that they make sandwiches and then deliver the sandwiches to the soldiers? And then they go home and read a book?

If the answer is no, then your fantasy world sucks.

I can imagine that in LOTR, I can imagine that in Mass Effect, I can imagine that in Star Trek or Babylon Five or Signalis.

Sort of similar to how I can't really get immersed in Dark Souls. If the "cycle of nothing but entropy and death" is eternal then nothing anyone does matters.
