40k This mech is a church.
And this cathedral is a warp capable starship
Imma turn into a church now...
Does 40k actually have machs?
I see no reason why they wouldn't, I've just never heard of them. But then my only engagement with the setting has been the Rogue Trader crpg and the occasional video.
The Imperial Knight Houses, Chaos Knight Houses, and Titans for your stereotypical mechs.
One could argue that Tau Battlesuits, Space Marine Dreadnaughts, Chaos Dreadnaughts, Hellbrutes, Killa Kans, Deff Dreads, Wraith Lords, Paragon Warsuits, Mortifiers, and Penitent Engines are just smaller mechs.
Wraithlords probably don't count on the basis that there's nobody alive inside it, not even in the half-alive space marine dreadnought sense. The pilot is full-on dead and the stone containing their soul gets put in the wraithlord so they can control it. It's more like a giant haunted suit of armour, in my opinion at least
Eldar titans, on the other hand, actually do have living pilots (and often dead co-pilots), so we've still got space elf mechs
