Add that to the power weapons, chainswords, chain axes, Inquisition, the interstellar transport system built around a dead Emperor's tomb, the undead overlord using poorly-understood technology to drain the life essence of his most loyal subjects in order to live again, the Bisley Joe Pineapples MK.2 body, and so on, and so forth.
