I don't think the Total War engine fits well with what 40K requires.
I could see a great Stellaris type game from the 40k universe.

Yep I agree so much Marcel - for me Dow II is peak real time strategy. So freaking tactical and enjoyable.Only rts where I finished the campaign several time, that's for sure. Shame they went back to the mass combat focus on DoW3 :(
I quite enjoyed Kill Team and Space Marine. An FPS would be fantastic, especially if undertaken by a big established developer that has a love of the series. Hell, give me more Space Marine and I'd be happy too.
I'm down for more indie games and unique creations, but 95% of the WH/WH40K games are all in genres I'm not into.
i think it just gets written off as a gears of war clone when it isn't that at allYeah. I went in with zero expectations and was blown away by how good the game ended up being. Shame about it never getting the sequel it deserved.
played Dawn of War 2 last year, its still peak W40K and peak RTS.
Play it, you can play Tyranids campaign
I didn't know there was someone from Focus Home Interactive here on era! I really can't wait for the new Warhammer 40k game. When can we expect news or trailer of the new game? :DHey, we're trying okay
(just started reading Night Lords trilogy, it's mint)
I just started my venture into the Warhammer series by listening to the Warhammer 40k – Helsreach audiobook. It was fantastic!
I know it's a bit off topic but does anyone have any recommendations for what to potentially listen to next? I really enjoyed what I heard with Helsreach and looking for more.
Doesn't Battlefield Gothic: Armada 2 have one?
My main issue was the campaign, that was the main reason I played DOW2 (and Last Stand of course). DoW2 was practically an action RPG in the campaign.I still don't think DoW3 was that bad and got unfairly piled on by the community because of bunk reasons. It was unfortunately caught in the crossfire of moba-hysteria among RTS fans because it had hero units (which existed before MOBAs in RTS anyway) and in the other direction for being an army based RTS by DoW2 fans which was more of a MOBA.. They really couldn't win.
I think there are a few factors going into the lack of bigger 40k games.
While very popular among the hardcore fans, I am not sure the license has enough mainstream appeal for proper AAA budgets. Maybe the eventual tv series will help?
2. GW seems to prefer working with smaller companies where they are the more powerful partner these days. I think that is a consequence of games like Warhammer Online, where they were much smaller than the lot licensee (EA).I think that was the last time they signed a new AAA level license (Sega came through Relic/ THQ), only working with indie companies or smaller publishers since.
You could play Star Trader and pretend it's 40k.
That's a shame considering it's WAY better than the last two Gears games.i think it just gets written off as a gears of war clone when it isn't that at all

As a fan of both DoW 1 and 2, I was immediately turned off by the progression and monetization in DoW 3 (and then when the game failed, turned off by the lack of a playerbase).
I actually enjoyed the focus on heros/super units (I preferred WC3 over SC or SC2), but the monetization killed it for me (same with Evolve).
One of my dream games would be CD Projekt doing a Action RPG of Ciaphas Cain HERO OF THE IMPERIUM.
I am a huge fan and can wholeheartedly recommend the Eisenhorn and Ravenor novels from Dan Abnett. They are a bit of a spy/ detective/ noir take on the grim dark, and so a great job with the atmosphere and vibe.
I have never done full corruption lol I need to try at least.That's exactly what I'm doing right now XD. Time to replay both main campaigns and go full Corruption for once.
It was a better game than be would think it deserves a second chanceCount me in for a new Space Marine game it was great and had a setup at the end for a sequel!
Inquisitor?What was the name of that action rpg from last year? Am I crazy or am I thinking of something else. Not chaosbane, but something else.
Inquisitor?
I don't quite remember what WH games I've actually played; aside from the DOW games, the only other ones were the recent Space Hulk Tactics (which was way too fucking slow), and a little Battlefleet Gothic

It is next to doom, my most played game EVER (my play numbers on steam do not even include the time before Steam counted play hours. Let alone the hundred hours I put into the beta.

I love the Eisenhorn/Ravenor novels, but they do take Wh40k a long way into hi-tech sci-fi territory (probably because Abnett realized the caveman-tek setting of hardline Wh40k could never actually work without collapsing immediately).
