Is there any 40k media which goes into more detail about civilian

No. "there is only war" and all that.

Civilan life is depicted, to various degree, in some books, but it's always marginal.

It is more of a problem since 40k rpgs ware first created, since such material would be very useful.

All of the imperial related books seem to have some mention of normal civie life.

If you read enough you'll get a decent picture of it. Basically no matter which world you live on it is expected that you will work hard. There are classes and most people toil without much hope of a better life.

There is different foods relative to each planet and different customs.

You won't get a full book about civie life because it's boring.

Abnett writes about it, when there's an opportunity. Ravenor had a short sequence from the pov of a club bouncer, where his biggest concerns were selling some drugs on the side and getting better vat-grown muscle grafts. Pariah has a decent bit dedicated to an art studio in an Imperial World city.

The Inquisitor-themed novels usually focus on it fairly heavily, at least when the Inquisitors themselves are the focus, rather than just being plot-contrivances to begin the Space Marine bolter porn.

The Calpurnia books are from the POV of the Arbites, so they have quiye a bit of civilian life and street-level detail in them.

The Carrion Throne had a decent amount of civilians. They were Terrans though, but still.

The Cain books tend to have nice glimpses into civilian life, especially for the nobility or other such upper-crust people.

Also the beginning of Necropolis shows a little bit of civilian from different POVs

Dark Heresy

I don't know if Master Imus's Transgression is available in any format other than audio short, but it's half decent.

An accountant sees an impossible number and reports himself the to Inquisition, like any dutiful imperial citizen would.

dead men walking is more then half about the life of a mine overseer trying to get away with shagging the governors daughter.

it can be grim and dark on a farm or it can be grim in dark in a city

Titanicus has a bit on a dock worker, he and his wife are able to save up enough to transfer their lives to a slightly less shitty planet and have plans to improve their lot from there too

Do they actually make it to the less shitty planet and improve their lives there, or are they only set up as sympathetic characters so they can get horrifically killed by daemons?

I believe the youtube series "40 facts about 40k" might touch on this to varying degrees. They helped my friend get more into his Arbite character in our DH game.

What about in the Space Wolves books where Ragnar goes to Terra?

Ive kinda wanted to do a 40k RP version of civilian life for some time. Mostly using DH. But i havent got enough material to make it interesting.

Heres what ive got:
1.) players are all friends from school.
2.) they all work different jobs but meet up at a pub to keep in contact. None of them are allowed to have much money.
3.) Concurrent themes are the danger of muggings and abductions. Both of which are being downplayed by the authorities to not cause panic.
4.) Then there is the curshing workload and the upcoming selections for citizen first class and citizen second and third class. If they fail to make citizen first class they might end up slipping further into poverty and chaos.

But thats all ive got.
