What don’t get is why people think something like star wars can’t have different tones. It’s a big universe with a big story. Just because the originals were these scifi epics doesn’t mean a different story set in the universe can’t be grounded and dark. Like how 40k can be really goofy and stupid but also really serious and gritty. It depends on the specific story being told within the setting. Not the setting as a whole
And 40k has fungus space orcs that speak in cockney accents and have the power of belief. And yet still manages to have both really goofy stories, and very serious stories. The Ahriman Omnibus being a really serious story, and the infinite and the divine being a goofy story. Both being within the same universe, but two entirely different tones
They have what are called power swords. Which are conventional swords that can be sheathed in an energy field. So basically a lightsaber if the laser surrounded a regular sword

Does 40k have laser swords?
Chainsaw swords, which are clearly more badass than laser swords.

I stand by my adulterous point
