It's genre pulp, like Mills & Boon, or the annual Sandford or Grisham releases.
Also, we fans have a pronounced tendency to descend rapidly to "Waaaggghhh! MAKE IT ORKY!"

Yup. One of the good examples that 40k isn't just about Horus.
Plenty of Heresy to go around.

Dethklok?
Now imagining "Batmetal Forever" with Big E instead of the Joker. Rise, rise!

Be aware that there is a lot of content outside of the direct Horus Heresy series.
It covers an amazing breath of the Galaxy of the 41th Millennium beyond just the Legions. Orks, Space Elves, dark space elves, blueberry communists, Military and its Commisars
Ad the Heresy series goes on, the continuity control amongst some of the authors can slip, and we see the same events told repeatedly (A thousand sons and Propero burns, for instance).
Also, in attempting to take itself seriously, it can take itself too seriously at times.

Two thoughts:
-
A breakdown of "Liquor" would be nice. I guess that that's like, Scotch, Gin, Sambucca, etc.
-
I read that as "Hand Sanitizer" and thought, wow, there's brand preference?

Only some 40k nerds, although it does do a pretty good job of "the horror of the warp".

There were parts of the Illiad that hit me that way, too, when I was playing it at 1.75 speed.

Are they going to ban their Astronomers from using JWST data?
Apparently not - just force them to use the acronym.
Oh No! Anyway.

Tolkien's Ents is one example: Quickbeam, treebeard.
Another might be based on events in their lives "Struck-by-lightning", or "Carved-by-human"
It'll never be what they actually call each other, but a rendering so that your readers can identify them

Reply to comment by ChihuahuaJedi in I have forgotten something. There are objects that follow in Jupiter's orbit around the sun. Not moons, but asteroid satellites that follow behind and in front. What are they called? I had thought it was Jovian Satellites but that seems to just mean moon. by EmpiricalBreakfast
Don't ask your wife about what else Jupiter took.

I'd love a VR/AR app for sticking post-it notes on random surfaces or constructing murder boards.
