There are some differences betwixt the universes. As far as I can recall cloning happens in
40k but certainly not very much. In Dune there is an entire group of people that specifically do cloning for various different reasons. The Tleilaxu are genetic manipulators and gene growers that would make Fabius Bile look like he was putting square pegs in round holes.
The Fremen, oddly enough, were originally non-combatants, and refused to fight. Generations later their society changed internally and after learning how to close quarter combat with the best of them, they were then taught the Weirding Way of fighting. They could literally alter reality around themselves and appear to teleport. Eldar Warp Spiders wish they were that good.
There are so many more things that I could go on about beings as I read much about
40k, all of the Dune series that both Frank and his kid wrote based off of Franks notes. I see more differences than I do similarities.
Not to disagree with you just to disagree, but if the rumors about the death korps of krieg are true there's actually a
hell of a lot of cloning going on in the imperium, it's just kept
very secret and done in a "mass production" basis...
