40k This mech is a church.
Does 40k actually have machs?
I see no reason why they wouldn’t, I’ve just never heard of them. But then my only engagement with the setting has been the Rogue Trader crpg and the occasional video.
The Imperial Knight Houses, Chaos Knight Houses, and Titans for your stereotypical mechs.
One could argue that Tau Battlesuits, Space Marine Dreadnaughts, Chaos Dreadnaughts, Hellbrutes, Killa Kans, Deff Dreads, Wraith Lords, Paragon Warsuits, Mortifiers, and Penitent Engines are just smaller mechs.

Scythe is diesel powered mechs.
Battletech uses fusion. Their issue is heat management.
diesel guzzling? I thought battletech mechs used fusion reactors, unless they changed that at some point?
You are right, fusion reactors are used.
They overheat so hard that their fucking ammo cooks off even if it is stored in the extremities, i do not want to stand anywhere near a diesel-powered Mech, or even worse, pilot one when it fires a PPC Salvo.
Yes, most mechs have fusion reactors, but there are certain types of mechs (generally called “primitive”) which may use internal-combustion engines.
I mean they are in the setting but rarely used. Unless going by the start of the blackout age not ever really mentioned
I think is cause the style more than the actual tech that it has.
Alternative that one of my pilots shared the other day
A really dumb mecha book is NecroTek by Jonathan Maberry. Because we needed undead giant robot pilots fighting the elder gods of the Cthulu mythos. Ok, that actually sounds awesome, but the writing is fun but meh. The elder gods don’t actually show up, they just send armies of shoggoths piloting transforming combiner mechs.
Jokes on you. I’m Horus-pilled and my favorite mech media is…

Hey nice to see Titanfall getting some love. I personally really enjoyed Titanfall 3.
Titanfall 3 was definitely my favourite game of 2023, it should’ve gotten GOTY.
