Reply to comment by ThatGuyisonmyPC in [PI] Mech pilots with PTSD often experience a kind of psychosis in which they begin to feel that the mech is an extension of themselves. To them, being taken out of the machine feels like being stripped of their skin and muscle. by fhangrin
I'll be honest with you. I've never read any WH40k books, I don't play the tabletop, and the only game I've played is Darktides.
Why, is it good enough to be?

Kinda the right tone.
In the 40k lore, the big mechs (Titans) are piloted by heavily modified humans, in many cases ones that can't live outside a tank.
If you're interested, Titanicus by Dan Abnett is a great starting point.

I thought those were Dreadnoughts, not Titans?

Dreadnoughts are piloted by mortally wounded Space Marines, essentially it's a life support pod in a big walker think tank big.
The smallest Titan is a Warhound - think three story house. Titan pilots are also (exceptional) baseline humans that have augments.
