No silly, I am being realistic as to what format would be good for an anime adaptation
>think of when seeing 40K is hyperviolence
Ultimately yes, there is only war and thats the sole important part. Stylish toys killing each other and spilling blood is what 40k as a hobby is.
Stylish toys killing other stylish toys would warrant stylish animation of sick-lookin' freaks killing each other. Simple recipe for success.

Perhaps you misunderstood my choice of words, I mentioned it just because it'd be a foolproof format, since
1) you'd be advertizing ALL of the toys at the same time, shining a spotlight on every model range you could potentially buy from
2) one of the most popular non-tabletop examples of the franchise, Dawn of War + Expansions, was a free-for-all battle royale with a somewhat contrived excuse to showcase all the factions
Will it come at the cost of story complexity? Maybe, but fuck story complexity, 40k was never renowned for it to begin with and my expectations would be low to begin with. But you can't go with well-animated brutal action as well as the "your faction will be in this one, too!" approach
