Why do Imperium civillians look like WHF peasants in space? It's 30k years in the future, even with the Imperium's baseline human supermacist agenda, shouldn't they all be mutted beyond recognition?

You missed the general.

>>96740128

On the contrary. Between genetic engineering of past ages, and most planets being in effect isolated communities, you would have more ethnicities than ever.

>>96740128
They are literally slave golems.

Most of the peasants of 40k and are descended from the men of stone slave caste the technobabarian golden men colonized the universe with. The emerging psyker phenomena is humans returning to the spirited baseline of non slaves

Because if the grim dark of the grim dark grimdark of the grim dark of space, the tax policy is the same

I literally just lost the last drop of empathy I had for humans in 40k
>>
>>96740128
Yeah they should be mostly like orgyns
>>
>>96740128
They are.

The average Guardsman is 8ft tall and can bench press 320lbs.

The average malnourished factory worker is 7'6'' and can bench press 260 without training.

However, everything is so much bigger and nastier that those genetic superhumans only count as S3 T3.

>>96740313
nah, the Men of Stone are the Leagues of Votann.

pre votan that was implied to be the case

You just realized humans are basically the pajeets of the galaxy? Eldar knew from day 1.

That actually happened for a while, but the various colonies got cut off from each other in the Age of Strife and people started differentiating again due to natural evolution. So the Space Wolves for example aren't (entirely) Scandinavian, they're descended from generically tan colonists who evolved to look white due to bring exposed to the same evolutionary pressures as the early Northern Europeans for generations on end.
>>
Dark Age of Technology humans used genetic engineering to assume the superior human form i.e. pure 100% Bavarian phenotype

Schickelgruber's internally.

>space germs become the main human subspecies
that would explain why the DAoT self destroyed and faced extinction until a southern dude teach them again how civilization actually works

Is it even possible to generalize how people look in the setting? I get like 3/4 or even 4/5 planets are hive worlds but isnt one of the bigger things how each world has it's own flavor of being shitty. So you got barbarian types and skinny industry age english people

In all seriousness though i always imagined most Imperial citizens are either some greyish pale color from not seeing the sun properly

You've got it backwards. Because they're all so dirt poor, they've got no mobility. I imagine a lot of planets do have similar demographics to what we have irl, but most Civvies have basically no opportunity to experience life outside the community they we're born to (unless they get tithed).
