In general I hate the hero worship that goes on in 40k as of late. In a setting where millions if not potentially billions die in a single planetary battle and there are weapons that can destroy all life from orbit. It just seems off having these named characters who always seem to be at the important set piece battles and are unbeatable except by other highly important named characters. A plasma gun, melta gun, lascannon, plasma cannon, railgun, etc doesn't care for your plot armor and if it can melt through the armor of a battle tank then its good enough to put down whatever Mary Sue character who isn't even wearing a helmet while leading from the front like an idiot.

This. It's a problem I've had with 40k for a long time. It clashes with my dudes. It's also downright silly in contrast to every time a special character gets obliderated on the table top.

I think the worst part for me is the way that the religious parts of the imperium gets only a token mention.

There is alot of potential in exploring the faith and interpretations of the ecchlisiarchy, but Games workshop never seems to do anything with it.

Maybe they dont want to touch religious themes more than absolutely necessary.

Have you read the 4th ed rulebook? Every single page has a
piece of the Imperial creed, prayers or propaganda on it.

Edit: The fluff generally was more religion foccused back then as I recall. If you're really intrested in that stuff check out fantasy flights dark Heresy roleplaying games
