I've heard the Malus Darkblade books are pretty dark. And the Witchhunter books as well.

From the little bit I've read, Warhammer 40k wins the grimdark war. IIRC the brains of "criminals" are used in their equivalent of robots -- and they
think the brains have no memories of their past selves but aren't certain.
