Which is better about WH40K and why?
Automatically Appended Next Post:
I personally vote Awesome since it was what made WH40K originally. That and Grimdark was cool originally but after a while it just gets kind of boring. Example: Guardsmen fight Orks on random world, Chaos shows up, Guardsmen crap their pants from demonic presence, exterminatus, repeat... Not to forget that in Awesome, crap gets done most of the time.

Grimdark. It's what sets 40k apart from many other scifi universes. And in a truly Grimdark galaxy, there is no Draigo.

I think Draigo is grimdark enough, hes an epic individual that would makes a huge difference but for one small problem...hes trapped in the warp! Very grimdark imo

Fighting an endless battle that he literally has no way of winning for all of eternity is grimdark as hell. It kinda rules.
40k has the right blend of stupid, awesome, grimdark, and downright silly that make it so endearing. It's a bit of everything that makes it special.
