I have kind of stopped keeping track of 40k. I came to 40k pretty late, somewhere in maybe 2013 or so, and I burned through a bunch of the lore. It felt really vast to me and as bombastic as it was there were lots of absolutely fascinating characters and places. A lot of the lore I read was copied pretty much directly from Imperial Armor and the Horus Heresy Black Books from Forge World and I grew to really love the tone, ideas, and style of Alan Bligh. I really think he was a massive loss. One of my favorite Warhammer RPG supplements was Disciples of the Dark Gods, which he co-wrote with John French. I still go through those books every now and then - Fantasy Flight put out a lot of great supplemental stuff for their 40k RPGs.
However, I am a sucker for Titans. So much so that I have seriously considered buying a full size Warlord more than once before regaining my sanity. And the ruleset for Adeptus Titanicus is badass - the God-machines really seem to come to life using that ruleset.
Here are the Hero Twins flanking Painal. If you are curious about Painal, do yourself a favor when you search it and type this in: "Painal Aztec God" - just trust me on this, especially if you are at work.
Anyway, I don't have the lore all fleshed out yet, but these guys definitely look at combat as if it were a ballgame with the Lords of Xibalba.
