I don't know maybe, what I like doesn't transfer well to other media...

I know its personal but feels like a super simple game with a coat of paint...

I'll admit it looks fun.

But not $80 for a game then another $54 for the cosmestics battlepass season pass fun

I'll just stay in Warframe where its free to play and its battlepasses are completely free.
- Warframe sucks for FOMO though, they could still do a lot better
  
  No? Only things to miss are battlepass and occasional events.
  
  The last big one off event was Scarlet Spear.
40k games??? That’s far too many
- GW: It's not nearly enough, more ~~blood~~ games for the ~~blood~~ games god!
Good 40k games of you don't fancy paying nearly £100 for a game

Boltgun

Dawn of war

Space marine

Battlefleet gothic armada 1+2

Mechanicus

Final liberation
- Shootas Blood & Teef seems to be well regarded.

  Oh yeah haven't played that one. Need more Ork games
- I don't see Rogue Trader mentioned.
- The ARPG WH40K Inquisitor - Martyr is unironically pretty good in its' genre. All the live service seasons are accessible on character creation now, individually, and in offline mode. Pretty solid endgame, combat flow and selectable difficulty are different enough from PoE and Diablo to provide some unique gamer moments.
- Don't forget Rogue Trader. Falls into many of the usual CRPG pitfalls, but is still definitely solid despite that.
- I would say Darktide is good too. Just too similar to Vermintide 2 from what I heard.
- But for the love of God not DoW3.
- It's not 40K, but I thoroughly enjoyed Mordheim: City of the Damned, despite some bugs and rough AI in places.
Games Workshop is publicly traded. The stock must grow, which means the slop must flow.
A couple of my friends jumped right in... I'm asking them about it and it sounds like Helldivers 2 but with melee weapons
- As a big fan of Helldivers, they aren't really that similar. They aren't completely different either, but SM leans closer to a hack n' slash. Definitely space for both in my rotation.
Yo but at least were getting another Guillaume David album! And a game or something idk...
The games that most directly capture the feeling are more difficult to make and balance for fun. The more factions that are playable the more effort it takes to keep everything balanced, which even the tabletop game has always had issues with. The more successful games tend to capture the themes and do their own gameplay.
- If it’s pve it doesn’t need to be balanced
  
  Tell that to the Helldivers dev team
  
  But they had to make it PvP as well so here we are.
