When you think of Warhammer 40K, you probably think of space marines.
Excelling at stealth operations, they’re often deployed when brute force alone can’t win the day.
They’re sneaky, vulnerable, and still very human.
In short, they’re everything a space marine isn’t.
On the other hand, a setting like Gaunt’s Ghosts serves character drama up on a silver platter.
It’s a human lens that, on the game side of things, has been significantly under-explored.
The answer, then, is to branch out from space marines.
Stories like Gaunt’s Ghosts work so well precisely because its protagonists are tiny, squishy underdogs.
With that shift in perspective,you’rethe expendable one.
