Well, I finally decided that the 40k universe is too grimdark for me, so I think I have made the decision, and will be packing up.
You see, I would use 40k as a "retreat" from the real world and politics. Due to an mental disorder called aspergers, I have strong anxieties that will often manifest themselves in political fears, ie becoming slightly suicidal if my political party loses. 40k may seem like an odd choice, but it fufills a rather difficult list:
1. Multi factional military science fiction.
2. Involves aliens.
3. Humans are in it.
4. There are "good" guys and "bad" guys. (Order and disorder are good enough in the case of 40k)
5. At least some humans can be considered "good"/"order"
I think that instead of going to war machine or another series, I will simply create my own storyline that is similar to 40k but without nearly as much grimdark. (I.e. humans are in a psuedo-republic; not as much xenophobic stuff)
It may not have much of a fanbase (probably just myself) but that doesn't matter to me.
