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 lotwral 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?

There are many good games in the 40k universe. There are a few bad ones, and there are a couple great ones. If you pick a genre you like there is probably a 40k game that is a 7-8/10 in that genre.

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

Dawn of War and its expansions are awesome, if you don’t mind playing a game from two decades ago.

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.

I loved Mechanicus. And the music is phenomenal.

Hugin ,

My favorite 40k game and my favorite faction.

Vermintide is fun with at least one friend. The total war ones are supposed to be good too.

Darktide is, too, if you prefer WH40k to WHFantasy.

slazer2au ,

I haven’t heard much about it apart from it exists. Might need to take a look if they do a free weekend like Vermintide.

It’s fun for a while but gets repetitive quickly. The banter between teammates is well written and can be funny at times.

I hope they do a spacemarine terminator version. Power fists, lightning claws, Thunderhammer storm shield, cyclone missile launchers, assault cannons, heavy bolters…

Vermintide is really awesome. I love Bardin. The banter among all the characters is great.

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.

As mentioned:

  • Boltgun
  • Gladius
  • DoW1+2
  • Rogue trader
  • Space marine

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

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

Davel23 ,

It's basically modern XCOM set in the 40k universe, with the ship management from Battletech thrown in.

The Dawn of War series is decent. The campaigns and dialogue are solid. RTS gameplay isn’t exactly my cup of tea, but the single player campaigns are fun enough.

Mechanicus is great. Incredible music and dialogue. Fun tactical combat. Story is kinda meh.

The Rogue Trader CRPG from Owlcat is pretty fun. Good story, roleplaying, and character building options. The tactics are fun but not quite as tight as Mechanicus.

Gladius is a pretty fun Alpha-Centauri-like.

The Owlcat one, Rogue Trader, is awesome.

HuntressHimbo ,

Second this, if you like X-Com style combat this will really hit the spot. Abilities stack and are comboable in really fun ways. The only complaint is that there is a lot of text in this game, which can be tough if you’re playing with friends, and six characters can be a lot to level up and equip.

toofpic ,

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.

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.

Kelly ,

Boltgun is pretty cool

RizzRustbolt ,

As is its big brother, Space Marine.
