A Modest Propsal for 40k

I present to you a modest proposal for preventing the lore of 40k from being too grimderp for the more rationally-minded lore enjoyer, and for making it palatable to the wider public.

As we can see on this very sub, some people are very unhappy with various elements of 40k's lore, because they just aren't rational or logical enough. They make suspension of disbelief impossible. And these peoole are right. Something has to be done, otherwise the setting will become farcical.

So, I say we get rid of corpse-starch from the setting. It's silly, it is an inefficient means of producing food, and it's just there for shock value.

This notion that most of the Imperium's population lives in grim, brutal conditions? Nonsense. That's just not realistic at all! People would rebel! They wouldn't keep reproducing!

The Imperium being presented as inefficient and corrupt? Even as wasting resources due to stupid bureaucratic practices? An empire wouldn't survive if this kind of thing was so commonplace!

As to the shape of some of tanks???? They just aren't realistic at all! Some of them are literally WWI-style, and this is meant to be the far future...

And why don't airforces dominate every battlefield? Space Marines are ridiculous when you think about it, when a jet plane could just hit them with a missle.

And having Imperial ships rely on manual labour to load their macrocanons? Ridiculous. So inefficient. Why would they do that when they could use auto-loaders instead?

Building on that point, why on earth do the Ad Mech stifle innovation? The Imperium should be constantly improving their tech if they want to be victorious. Cawl should be the norm, not an exception.

And Titans! Oh, lord, Titans. They can't be too big, or they just wouldn't make sense structurally! The ground would collapse underneath them!

As for chainswords... they make no sense whatsoever. Scrap 'em.

Actually, you know what, let's just scrap close combat all together. It's so illogical for armies to be dashing into the enemy's fire to try and kill them in melee, especially when there are so many powerful ranged weapons.

Orks? Giant fungi hooligans? So stupid. Scrapped.

Eldar? Elf knock offs. Squats? Dwarf knock offs. Let's get rid.

And the Warp? Inconsistent space magic? No thanks. Not in a military scifi setting.

You know what, why don't we just get rid of all of the nonsense, and just have a realistic, contemporary focused military wargame based on current military capabilities and doctrines instead? That would be much more sensible, and produce believable lore.
