@SAMagic 40k has three main inspirations, Dune, Battletech and Starship troopers and is largely an amalgamation of those with a sprinkling of high fantasy.

@joentheamouni3 I can't see it because I'm not massively aware of Roman Emperors, feel free to enlighten me with a brief explanation or link as I'd love to know more. There are certainly heavy shades of Rome (what with the Legions, a galaxy of barbarians to conquer and the names of marines) but I always saw the Emperor as the Judeo-Christian God out to save humanity, with Horus as the Fallen Angel, Satan, who betrays him.
-
@SAMagic The Emperor might look like Jesus, but trust me, that's not his basis. The Roman people were pretty much forced to worship their Emperor as an Immortal god, who did not die, and was the shining light of the Emperor. How the influence cannot be seen is beyond me.

@Truth118 Heretic! :O

@billyboyjennings Yeah, the first one is actually interesting and original, while the other one is simply a made-for-profits rip-off.
-
@Sniffer194 there are some more similiartiies besides that, imo House Ordos is an executive branch of the Guild, i think they actualy are theyre secret force in order to fulfill special tasks.
why hiring some external forces while you can have a private army? besides that you don't have to kill the hired army evrytime after they saw forbidden tech or other heresy related stuff =P

@joentheamouni3 Roman Emperor - how so? I'm curious. The Emperor resembles more the Judeo-Christian God (and Jesus) more than anything, though my understanding of the Roman Emperors is limited.
Dune is the biggest influence on 40K IMO, right down to the novels I'm currently reading - though maybe I haven't read enough variety of other sci-fi universes to see. Googling for "Warhammer 40 Dune" brings up a number of forum threads with other perspectives too.
-
@SAMagic I'm not so convinced about that.... Especially since the primary influence on the Emperor is the Deified image of a Roman Emperor and the fact that a lot of scifi series feature large armies of elite soldiers.

I love Dune. I love Warhammer 40,000. I'm not a fan of Starcraft.

Have you even read the background story for WH40k or Starship Troopers? They have very little in common.
