Grimdark realistic should be an oxymoron. Something can be realistic and grim and dark and gritty or whatever but warhammer 40k's old tagline should mean so rediclously dark it becomes stupid to the point of self parody and even further beyond to where everyone has forgotten the joke.
Welll, I've heard people call it both grimdark and realistic. It's not really either. Bad things happen but it's not grimdark just sort of brutal. And it's not realistic either, it's just as much high fantasy as say LotR or Dragon Age. Sure nobody goes around chucking lightning but it still has mghty aristocratic heros clad in jewel encrusted armour. What separates it is that the heros are on both all sides.
