Ugh, TNE. The virus bullshit.

The virus was... okay.  I viewed it as a Deus Ex Machine which re-set the universe.  The Rebellion had painted itself into a corner, ironically with the Hard Times book you used as an avatar.  It showed that nobody was going to win the war and things were just deteriorating for everyone.

Still can't touch the expanse and complete fucked-upedness of the Warhammer 40K universe.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Meh.  Not exactly apples and oranges, but perhaps oranges and lemons - two different flavours of citrus.

WH40K is epic space fantasy.

Traveller is has harder science and is more space opera than anything else.

And while Traveller has largely been pining for the fjords since GDW went under in the mid 90s, that still gave it almost 20 years of development and history behind it.  WH40K hasn't been around nearly as long, and still hasn't equalled the years of creative output and development that Traveller had.

Bah, WH40K'a only been around since 1987, and while Traveller may be crunchier, the sheer brutal and unmitigated horror of the WH40K universe trumps it.
It's like playing in the middle of the cut scenes of Event Horizon:P

I kinda of found 40k silly rather then dark.  It really feels like something aimed at 15 year old boys.  I guess if you are into overwrought purple prose drama, it's okay.  Some of the models are good though.
