The Slaan are in 40k or they used to be. In older lore (around 5th ed maybe?) they were a Sanctioned Xeno race that supplied the Imperium, or more specifically the Inquisition, with the little daemon prison cubes. However, those were ret-conned to be Necron technology (like everything else yawn) so I don't know if Slaan are still a thing or not.

For pure introduction, Ragnar Blackmane trilogy is one of the best. It takes a fish-out-of-water approach and follows Ragnar from the backwaters of a feral world into the greater Imperium and introduces everything to you bit-by-bit as it does to him.
Many have mentioned the Eisenhorn and related series. Probably the closest thing to what Darktide will likely be.
The Gaunt's Ghosts series is more grunt-level stuff but the first 3 are pretty good. I felt it got a little bit "same-y" after that.
Forges of Mars is a great series. You get a wide variety of viewpoints. In a similar vein, I really liked the Skitarius/Techpriest duology but I'm an Admech fan.
For an excellent cross-section of the Imperium, I'd recommend the Beast Arises series. It contains chaos and xenos viewpoint characters as well. It's a ways in the past but it covers a cataclysmic event (or two) in the Imperium's history. I really liked it.

meltas are traditionally, on the tabletop, slow and short-range weapons for anti armor. it may seem to fly in the face of actual war tactics, but so does a gigantic two handed hammer that explodes with a thunderclap on impact or a roaring chainsaw sword.
the point isn't to be a realistic tactical tool, it's to be completely rad as fuck
the setting is full of rule of cool, hell some of the races literally work on it lol
distant parcel
well yeah thats how 40k works in general lol
muted shore
Meltagun on table top is actually shorter range than a shotgun
atomic pelican
It depends on the melta
Most 'regular' meltas are gonna be at 12" which is shotgun range
Tho, there are some unique ones, melta rifles and such which go up to like 24"
Marines having the Special Boy™️ gun as is typical
still atlas
and of course going with the xboxhueg multimeltas, especially dreadnought-mounted or leman russ main cannon versions, also tends to increase range notably
but i mean taking a gun and scaling it up like that does tend to give it more range
if nothing else in that it expands the area of effect from 'whatever you have it pointed at' to 'you can pull the trigger when i'm safely over there, behind that house, and the hill in front of it, in this bunker'

Well it's just people saying "they could have shot them" when the swarm were going in and out of a corpse, they were right next to it and they could have easily turned around and attacked them too

alpine ingot
It hurts me when I have to say "fuck cannon, I'll believe my own lore" because the Emperor's back story is so fucking stupid.
storm jungle
The Emperor is one of the most badly written characters in 40k because hes swapped between so many writers with their own takes on lore
"No no he just doesnt understand humans you see!"
Yeah sure lmao
alpine ingot
"he's a tyrant! he views his "sons" as nothing but tools!"
what about the fact that he was building the government of the Imperium to be ran by regular humans, or the fact that he gave Horus a gold ring that was made from his birth region?
there should have been a "writers bible" for the Emperor alone, because my god it feels like there is at least 6 different Emperor's running around during the HH series
I can't even create a decent excuse for being able to link everything he does to the same person, because it feels so jarring personality wise.
and I really do not want to think about Master of Mankind at all because I am dreading whether or not I actually want to read that one because of all the things I've heard about it. let alone the reputation ADB seems to have about him with writing loyalist.

I can't even create a decent excuse for being able to link everything he does to...
I just cope with the idea, that he's very manipulating, so every decent move of him that looks somewhat empathic is just what a psychopath would mimic to get what he wants. Though, I give him, that he tried to build a Imperial Republic, its not that far away to believe, hes just a very twisted being.
otherwise, the whole HH series become unreadable, if you take everything apart and question it, I mean, the imperial truth is the best example "we are right, because we know we are" lul
alpine ingot
but that just circles back to the fact that the Emperor was poorly written, he was meant to be the absolute pinnacle of the human race its guide and its guardian. There was nuance there that they could work with where he could be warm to some and show compassion, but there was also room for him to be cold and distant towards others. I am not going to even go into length about the moments where he is shown to be pretty much laughably incompetent; mainly because my knowledge of those events is second handed and I would rather deal with that first handed.
shadow plover
I was always under the impression that he was a jackass and a tyrant
alpine ingot
depends on your point of view and your starting point I guess.
storm jungle
Yeah the Emperor is still a badly written and inconsistent character
anything else is just excuses to make his character seem deep when it really isnt
Hes always forced to act stupid so that the Horus Heresy can happen
shadow plover
I think he's decently written, he never was this all knowing all capable being even though powerful. Lots of hubris and lies
alpine ingot
To me the Emperor was as I said the "Guide and Guardian of the human race", he did not rule because he wanted to because it's even stated that he had no choice but to take control after the events of old night. He was waging a war against the dark gods all on his own, he was trying desperately to create a universe where the human race was freed from their influence. He knew that he had to be harsh at times to ensure he could reunite all of the human held worlds under one banner, but he never did it because he enjoyed it. There is also the fact that he was constantly trying to tell people that he was a man just like them and was always trying to raise up base line humanity wherever he could, isn't it odd that a cruel tyrant would keep someone like Malcador around if that was who he really was?
tawdry wyvern

knowing his brothers would not be able to topple the tyrants
alpine ingot
I go back to my initial point of the Emperor could have drop podded the fuck out of the tyrants forces and decimated them and secured Angron's loyalty, but no they wanted an easy excuse for why Angron would turn traitor and become what he is in 40k instead of writing an interesting character that was tragically destroyed by the nails.

the in-lore explanation for it so poorly done that its not really worth really thinking about when everyone speaks english anyway for the sake of the audience to begin with

Therefore, Imperium = br_tish

It is explained that low gothic can be pretty much everything, from italian to chinese, and there are actual in lore reason for this

High gothic is poorly explained
barren tapir
No, that is the thing
vapid tiger
inb4 most imperials are feudal turd farmers and most nobility are too busy drinking tanna recaf tea to care
barren tapir
In lore high gothic is the mix of all the popular languages on earth from m2
It is presented as latinised english for players
vapid tiger
in lore low and high gothic are totally alien languages that have vague roots in germanic and romantic languages, respectively
In practical terms low gothic is english and high gothic is latin
barren tapir
Eh, headcanon is kinda canon for WH40K anyway
vapid tiger
By "muh lore" I mean lore
Not my lore
let me edit it
I suppose if you asked gw writers they might say written high gothic if moreso based on actual latin rather than romantic languages but that's assuming they know anything about language development
barren tapir
For low and high gothic GW stated that they present low gothic as english, while high gothic as a latinized version of english, but while the high gothic in lore is quite the same everywhere low gothic is the dialect of the planet and it can vary immensely
ashen lake
low gothic has to be a thing because characters have to be able to communicate for there to be understandable drama. if every time humans from other planets encountered each other they spent a realistic amount of time just trying to figure out how to communicate with even minimum effectiveness it would take a lot of the punchiness out of the narrative
barren tapir
Like, we have even phrases in actual low gothic from some planets
vapid tiger
yeah that's the lore but like
in practical terms low gothic is various english dialects since it's still the same language
barren tapir
"Harakoni tellika regala" is low gothic
vapid tiger
It's the equivalent of "common" in most rpgs
ashen lake
it takes only a few hundred years for language to change dramatically when people are separated by a few hundred miles
in reality 40k language would be all over the place, but then it wouldn't be very digestible as a setting
barren tapir
It's the equivalent of "common" in most rpgs
Indeed, but this just mean that people can kinda understand each other, although not without problems, it is not the same language, it is just similar
Again, low gothic can be italian and chinese too, or mongolian...
vapid tiger
If the story the writers are writing requires that sets of characters from seperate planets can barely understand each others' low gothic then it works that way but otherwise it's best to think of it as english rather than trying to do what I did and apply linguistics to 40k languages
barren tapir
But for the practical term everyone can understand each other, like the common language in faerun
vapid tiger
Again, low gothic can be italian and chinese too, or mongolian...
no i don't think they would be since that would mean characters would outright not understand one another which is not how low gothic is portrayed
barren tapir
no i don't think they would be since that would mean characters would outright *...
That happen too
vapid tiger
At worst, characters can almost not understand each others' low gothic due to dialect
Usually incorporating words from their own local languages into low gothic
barren tapir
no i don't think they would be since that would mean characters would outright *...
Eh, fine, but that is how it is
vapid tiger
So non-english languages would effectively just be "local" languages, like chogorian being not-mongolian
which is seperate from low gothic but also spoken by the white scars
Or fenrisian with the space wolves being not-old norse
ashen lake
much like the population of the elves in fantasy, the characters can understand each other when they need to for the sake of the story, and vise versa
vapid tiger
We're really overthinking it aren't we
ashen lake
nothing wrong with a bit of mental exercise now and then
barren tapir
Agree
vapid tiger
For a setting that's generally more suited for pulpy comic stories than something that should be taken super seriously but nerds do this sometimes

The Armouring of a Space Marine is hands-down the best four minutes and forty-two seconds of gritty Warhammer lore we’ve ever seen.
To craft the definitive vignette of a Space Marine getting ready for battle, creators had to dig through decades of background lore and consult designers from across the Warhammer Studio.
