Peter, this doesn't have anything to do with any supposed similarity between
E40K and W40K, this has to do with GW's facination with "short range" combat!
The basic weapons range in Space Marine is only 50cm, and there are plenty of
units that move faster than that as it is. In fact, if anything this example
is very DISSIMILAR to W40K, where basic weapons ranges (36") tend to be much
farther than the average troop can run in a turn (8").
