The Warhammer 40k Thread

You can play defensively with Chaos in DoW 1 and the expansions too. Spawn maximum basic marine units and Defilers, prepare the prince and 'Thirster for summoning, then rush the enemy as a coup de grace.

Any good Warhammer 40k pc game?

It really depends on what genre you're looking for, because 40k games are all over the map in terms of genre.

If you're looking for co-op FPS, Darktide and Deathwing are great. If you're looking for tactical turn-based combat, Mechanicus is great. If you're looking for a Diablo-style dungeon crawler, Inquisitor: Martyr is great. If you're looking for silly side-scrolling cartoony co-op fun, Shootas Blood & Teef is great. If you're looking for real time strategy, Dawn of War 1 and 2 are great. If you're looking for naval combat, Battlefleet Gothic II is great. If you're looking for "Doom Eternal, but 40k", Necromunda: Hired Gun is great. If you're looking for third-person action, Space Marine is great.

That's a negative.

Well I did preorder some of the Necron and Sororitas action figures from Joytoy, they look awesome.

Thanks, it's a lot to take. I'm RPG guy who prefers turn based combat so it seems like this Mechanicus might be a good choice as I cannot see any RPG on your list  I don't consider diablo style games (Inquisitor: martyr) as RPG. It's just hack and slash ... but I might give it a go if it's good enough. Is it?

Dawn of war looks interesting as well.

Do you actually go to your local Games Workshop or do you mail order everything?

If you like Diablo, Inquisitor: Martyr is basically Diablo: Warhammer 40k Edition.

Mechanicus is basically X-Com: Warhammer 40k Edition.

I've got a friend who runs a local shop, I buy stuff from his shop or I order stuff online. If it's actual GW product, I buy from his shop because I want to support his shop. For the Joytoy figures, it was cheaper to import them, actually.

Must be big if its 1h long

Ain't nobody got time for that. Although to be perfectly fair, if I were to write a list of what's wrong with 40k it'd be the size of a phone book so maybe it's justified.

Which problems are the biggest?

[[cancerblack]]

IGOUGO, still using RPG stats in what's become a very large scale game, giving things huge numbers of wounds because you made guns that can do huge amounts of damage, rather than literally any other solution with less book-keeping, speaking of books, the rules for most factions being spread across multiple $80 books, and the convoluted mess of "gotcha" stratagems etc that few players can reasonably remember or plan for due to sheer volume, leading to a lot of "feelsbad" moments rather than the fun twists I think they were supposed to be.

I'd say those are the biggest.

Okay, I didn't know any of that.

They need Andy Chambers back, he actually knows what he's doing.
