There's an introductory text on the first page of Warhammer 40,000's first edition that's been rewritten for various contexts since, with phrases like "there is no peace amongst the stars" and "the laughter of thirsting gods" becoming cheerful taglines for the series as a whole. Now it's the trailer narration for the upcoming 11th edition, and it still goes as hard as it did in 1987.
It's cool to see so many shots of The Emperor himself, in varying states of decay. Maybe they depict his mummifying over the course of the 10,000 years he's spent sat on that thing, or maybe they're different versions of the way he looks based on whether you're a true believer in the God-Emperor, or a heretic who thinks he's a false corpse-god on a throne of lies. He sure doesn't look like he's having a good time either way.
There's a metal-as-anything glimpse into the Warp as well, with the Ruinous Powers and a couple of other gods showing up to the party....
