Sanctus Reach is something I poured a lot of hours in. It’s a classic tabletop-like turn-based game where you pick units for a set number of points.

I liked Space Hulk: Deathwing. Not sure what the general Warhammer 40k perception is on the game, but its a pretty fun coop shooter that has exactly what I was looking for. Plus its usually on sale on Steam.

Now, I am not a Warhammer superfan. I don’t know any lore except that pretty much everyone commits literal warcrimes on an hourly basis and everything is incredibly aggressive. I know some stuff like the Ultra Marines and a little about humans in the time, but I would say I am so on the outside of the fandom I must look like a casual to a casual Warhammer enjoyer. Maybes that’s why I liked it, who knows?

I really liked Inquisitor Martyr. It’s sort of Diablo-esque. It certainly isn’t amazing, but I liked the art and story and some of the gameplay. I think you can couch co-op it too.

For RTS, the original Dawn of War is excellent. Especially for the time it came out.

Chaosbane is okay but got old.

I played the first Blood Bowl like crazy on PSP.

And then Space Marine is an excellent story with great kill animations. It can be very difficult as well if you want, if you’re into that.

I recently tested Warhammer III: Total War (Don’t remember the exact title), and I would consider it an objectively good game, but:

• It wasn’t my kind of game, so I refunded it. I find that the Total War games for the past 10 years have involved too much repetitive drudgery on the campaign map. In my opinion, it hasn’t aged well. If you like the Total War games, this might be for you, though.
• Expensive business model built around DLCs. Do you like Chaos Dwarves? Be prepared to pay extra.

As a whole I wouldn’t advice against this game, as it is beautiful and well done. But the above two points need to be taken into account.

Boltgun is pretty cool

Vermintide is a lot of fun. The total war Warhammer games are pretty good.

My personal favorite (as an RPG fan) is Rogue Trader (40k) by Owlcat Games. Game is superbly written and the combat and world is pretty fun too. If you hate CRPGs, stay away though. This game really showed me the secret sauce Warhammer 40k has going for it.

I’m excited as hell for space marine 2. We’ll see how that goes.

As mentioned:

• Boltgun

• Gladius

• DoW1+2

• Rogue trader

• Space marine

Additionally I really enjoyed Battlesector, cleaning up Baal after the Tyranids have been repelled.

Total War:Warhammer series has taken up a lot of my time. I suggest Modding it to suit your play style and desired level of challenge.

Darktide, and vermintide, as others have mentioned if you prefer action to turn based.

Dawn of War series are all good games. The second one in coop mode is excellent.

Spacemarine is an instant classic.

I’d skip Gladius. It’s good, it’s fine. Its a cheap copy of better games with a warhammer skin over it.

The 3rd person warhammer game from the Xbox 360 was pretty good. The first person space hulk is fun if you get it for under $10

40k: Dawn of War and the expansions are fantastic.

I couldn’t get into DoW II because I couldn’t keep track of all the little cool downs spread across units.

Not Warhammer per se, but perhaps the Peacescrewdriver series has better games

Space marine and space marine 2.

Tbf idk if 2 is good because it’s not out yet but it looks like it’s going to be good

Warhammer 40k Chaosgate Demonhunters if you are into turn based strategy.

I really like Space Marine. It was my introduction to the series and I even dabbled in the multiplayer which I normally never do. I tried future war hammer games and they just never clicked for me.

I loved Mechanicus. And the music is phenomenal.
