WH40K bois help me out.
What’s the average life expectancy of the average grunt units in the Imperium of Man? In a grimdark world where apparently every single thing in the universe is out to kill you, how does anyone ever get to adulthood much less veterancy?
I could assume that it’s possible through sheer number of population alone, to basically outpace the mortality rate. OR, dead (or otherwise severely wounded and maimed) people come back either through magic or science (or just magic. Let’s be honest, the science and tech feel like magic with fancy hard-surface futuristic props)
If I’m going by the population number alone…that’d mean the birth rate in especially hostile and deadly worlds has to be exceptionally high.
Which means, at least, in the WH40K universe, people get a lotta actions. Silver lining, and all that.
