40K took a ton of influence from 2000 AD comics - guys like Alan Moore being incredibly transgressive and really pushing limits and stuff like that. So there's a ton of crazy shit in there.
Yeah. Dune, star wars, foundation, michael moorcock, 200ad (there are 1:1 rips from judge dredd), starship troopers, aliens, and a bunch of others. Wh40k has very few new ideas and in most cases isan extremely impressive act of copyright violation.
Love seeing someone mention Moorcock. It's been years, I may have to pick them back up again.
There's a newish faction of IRL straw-nihilist alleged anarchists running around using the eight pointed star of chaos as their symbol and I like to taunt them about being GW nerds because how can you take people who actually embraced straw nihilism seriously?
I'd wanted a chaos star tatoo for years. Glad I was too broke and outgrew the idea.
