I just saw this on the news and had to look for it online, check out this video news story on the armys new Warhammer 40,000 space marine body armor/robo suits:

The current model more resembles the mecha loader from Alien 2 but a lot more agile. I can't help but think the upcoming suits were at least minimally influenced by WH40K At the end of the video is the protype sculpts of the next gen suits covered in armor,etc.
In the grim darkness of the future, there is only eternal war...
