It is fascinating, the story around the Men of Stone, Men of Iron and Men of Gold.
They look like they're from the old Warhammer Monthly comic Black Library did.
As for the Votann, I'd say they were either originally part of the first Iron Men or more likely an evolved version of the highest form of STC database that were also AI.
No, they're not the men of Stone.
The Men of Stone are, according to L.J. Goulding, a form of Cyborg that had silicon-based circuitry as part of their brains, hence the 'Stone' reference and allusions to them having half-lives when viewed by Warp-entities.
I believe he got that from Alan Merrett.
This is how I acess Bluesky.
But 40K Spaceships do it all the time! They even have a special name for it "Orbital Strike".
And then there's Exterminatus.

I don't care if its conscious, I care if it's a moral machine.
If it isn't then it is an Abominable Intelligence like out of Dune or 40K and will probably be psychopathic.
The Ostara Marines are coming to deliver their chocolate eggs in the name of the Emperor.
If I remember correctly Mike Brooks' novel Rites of Passage (2019) has a non-binary character that uses they/them pronouns.

40K is a satire of the types of guys who would use a phrase like "woke people" to label normal folks.
ALthough the humans in 40K are xenophobic, they are not amongst other things racist, anti-pronouns, misogynistic, transphobic, homophobic, or anti-LGBTQ+.
Just like the Southpark version of Christopher Reeve.
Emperor's Children Jetbike Chariot, a kitbashed vehicle for Horus Heresy.
Well if you ever do Horus Heresy you can always give the Ultramarines a Jetbike version of that chariot.
Tracy Wills had the wedding every Warhammer 40,000 fan dreams of - family, friends, petting zoo, and a functional Ork power klaw from the groom ⬇️

Is it a certain Gladiator, known for being a husband to a murdered wife, father to a murdered son, and now your new miniature?
I wonder if you could get a copy of that Roman Miniature to try painting up Rogue Hobbies-style?
How about a story set around Anderson?
I've been enjoying her guest starring in Azimuth.
That's the point.
They're so alike in many ways that Death is a mirror darkly reflecting Dredd. Well except for Death being an undead psychopathic serial killer.
This Coteaz, as old as it is, not only looks like a normal human in power armour (snazzy power armour at that) they look like an actual Inquisitor to boot.
By comparison the plastic one looks like an overweight, 7ft tall space trucker wearing power armour that's chonkier than a Primaris Terminator!
I'd have thought that the Knights (and some what the Titans) were more Mechsploitation.
The "Thrones" they use to link with their Knights brainwash them and the pilots of Chaos versions merge with theirs.
And that's before you get to the "Machine Spirits" of these Mechs.
An interesting little time capsule of Andy Chambers doing a Q&A in 1996.
His discussion of constant errata is very interesting considering how things have changed since then.

With DW they were claiming it had all gone "Woke", unlike the original series.
Quite a few of them went into full denial when I pointed how "Woke" the original series had been, and that 1970's The Green Death is still considered the "Wokiest" DW story ever.
Do you know why?
It's because no one has ever seen a Purple Ork!
I used to see this kind of thing from "Whovians" during Jodie Whittaker's time as Doctor.
Every time I'd see one of them being nothing but negative about an episode I would ask them to tell me something they found good about it.
Cinematography, locations, etc.
They just wouldn't or couldn't.
You should hear what other colours do for them.
Looks like the Italian police have upgraded to new interceptors.
Was also available for the Amiga 500.
Though I had a copy that worked on the Amiga 1200.
How I arrived on Bluesky!
Salamanders technically do not have Chaplains.
They have something, else instead.
