Personally, I was reminded of that one bear that some Poles adopted in WW2.
A quick google-ing found this

Nanomachines inside their bodies enhance and regulate their abilities. Genetic control. Information control. Emotion control. Battlefield control. Everything is monitored, and kept under control. Core has changed. The age of deterrence has become the age of control. All in the name of averting catastrophe from weapons of mass destruction. And he who controls the battlefield, controls history. Core has changed. When the battlefield is under total control, war... becomes routine.

Just to contrast with a few posts from this thread...
I enjoy the stories of Warhammer and 40k both for their relatively realistic mirror of human nature and history. 40k goes a little over the top, but then it's an over the top setting. Fantasy drives a little closer to home.
The Empire in particular pulls a lot of our own cultures and histories in Europe. We have religious zealotry, piss-poor and oft-plagued peasantry, intense caste structures, venomous politics, and constant war somewhere or another. You also have legions of poor bloody infantry lining up under a banner and fighting to the death to protect their homes. It was a struggle just to live in this period, and the same could be said for this fantasy setting.
The point of that is, it's not a pretty setting or a pretty army and I don't think GW, through rulebooks or Black Library, has portrayed them as such, at least not in many years.
If you're looking for an army of moral absolutes, I'd go for Lord of the Rings. I love the fiction of both, but know what you're getting into/

Gosh, having to spend my days dancing, banging on a drum as loud as I want and having all the fish I can eat. It does sound downright abusive.
