Rogue Trader is my first Warhammer 40k game and it has enthralled me. What other great games in the 'verse have I been missing out on?

Mechanicus is a great tactics game with a BALLER soundtrack I haven’t gotten to play Deff Skwadron but Shootas Blood and Teef is a real fun sidescrolling shooter, I should revisit it Space Marine 1 and 2 are both great, 2 has a solid community and frequent updates Boltgun is honestly one of the better DOOMclones ive played, up there with Project Warlock I feel like im forgetting some (ignoring RTS per OP), will edit if I remember

Adding on to what was already said, Chaos Gate Demonhunters is a pretty good, if challenging, 40k turn based strategy game.

If you like smaller squad based tactics games then you would probably enjoy “Warhammer 40,000 Squad Commander” which is PSP and DS I believe. It has been a long time but I remember enjoying it back in the day.

Space Marine 2 and Vermintide 2 are pretty decent shooters. SM is kinda like Gears of War and Vermintide is essentially Left 4 Dead.

Maybe Eisenhorn: Xenos is worth looking into? Also, Dark Heresy was recently announced, developed by the same people that made Rogue Trader.

While it’s still under the RTS side of things it’s not really known outside of the fabase so I would suggest overhaul mod Dawn of War: Ultimate Apocalypse. It’s a heavily modded version of the original Dawn of War games and is quite fun. Ever wanted to drop nuclear artillery on your friend who’s chucking mecha at you? How about air dropping what amounts to a Maus but bigger into the rear lines of an AI who’s pissing you off? You can do that and more with this mod.

Dark Tide, Space Marine and Space Marine 2, Boltgun, Gladius: Relics of War for a civ style game, and “Shootas, Blood & Teef.”

So I picked up a couple of suggested ones since making this post and have given them all about an hour or two of play. Mechanicus is the absolute tits. Love my squad of weird little tech priests that I’ve started naming Rush references. I’ll probably grab Chaos Gate: Daemonhunters when I finish, for a different take on “XCOM 40k”. Inquisitor - Martyr: Diablo-style 40k is great so far, even if it could explain some things in-game better. I started with a tech-priest here too, I think the AdMech are my favorite dudes in this universe. But then I found out tech priest skips Martyr and goes straight into Prophecy, apparently? So I rolled up a Sister of Battle to go through the original campaign first. Boltgun: One review tagline I saw called it the best 1994 shooter in 2023, and that’s pretty much accurate. Good soundtrack on this one too. It’s as nostalgic as playing Doom 2, yet buttery smooth. Space Marine 1 is the one I’ve played least so far. It seems very solid, I’ll probably be more excited about it when I get a chainsword to replace this big weird knife. I might need to get a helmet mod, it’s killing me to see this dude running around in full armor with his meat head exposed.

Inquisitor Martyr is kinda like Diablo.
