2023TrailerWarhammer 40,000: Boltgun
Retro first-person shooterPCPlayStation 4Auroch Digital
Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun channels the breakneck speed and chunky pixel art of 1990s shooters into the 41st Millennium. Playing a Sternguard Veteran Space Marine, players strafe and gib through hordes of heretics and daemons with no cover and no reloading rhythm to slow them — just movement, a growing arsenal, and the meaty report of the iconic boltgun.
2022TrailerWarhammer 40,000: Darktide
Co-op first-person actionPCXbox Series X/SFatshark
Four condemned convicts turned Imperial agents fight through the hive city of Tertium in this grim four-player co-op shooter and melee brawler.
2022TrailerWarhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate – Daemonhunters
Turn-based tacticsPCPlayStation 5Complex Games
Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate – Daemonhunters is a turn-based tactics game commanding a strike force of Grey Knights, the Imperium's secret daemon-hunting Space Marines, against a galaxy-spanning Nurgle plague. Blending aggressive, XCOM-style combat with a strategic race to contain the spreading Bloom, it captures the righteous, overwhelming fury of its elite psychic warriors as they purge corruption world by world.
2021TrailerWarhammer 40,000: Battlesector
Turn-based strategyPCPlayStation 4Black Lab Games
Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector is a turn-based strategy game built on the modern tabletop, following the Blood Angels as they hunt Tyranid remnants after the Devastation of Baal. Its signature Momentum system rewards aggressive, chaining assaults, while rules-accurate units please tabletop fans. Steady expansions grew the roster far beyond its origins into a flexible digital sandbox for 40K battles.
2021TrailerNecromunda: Hired Gun
First-person shooterPCPlayStation 4Streum On Studio
Necromunda: Hired Gun is a fast, acrobatic first-person shooter set in the toxic underhive of Necromunda. Playing a freelance bounty hunter with a loyal cyber-mastiff, players wall-run, grapple, and slide through neon slums and sump-tunnels in high-speed gunfights owing as much to Doom Eternal as to Warhammer, chasing a lucrative contract through the hive's lawless depths.
2018TrailerWarhammer 40,000: Mechanicus
Turn-based strategyPCPlayStation 4Bulwark Studios
Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus lets players command a Magos of the Adeptus Mechanicus, leading cybernetic tech-priests into the awakening tombs of the Necrons. A turn-based strategy game defined by its haunting, liturgical atmosphere, it turns every mission into a puzzle of augmetic upgrades, cognition-point management, and the constant temptation to plunder xenos technology before the tomb fully rouses.
2018TrailerWarhammer 40,000: Gladius – Relics of War
4X strategyPCProxy Studios
Warhammer 40,000: Gladius – Relics of War is the setting's first turn-based 4X strategy game, stranding rival factions on a death world where reawakening Necrons and lethal wildlife make every tile a threat. Stripping out diplomacy — in the 41st Millennium there is only war — it bends the entire Civilization-style template toward relentless, asymmetric military conquest.
2018TrailerWarhammer 40,000: Inquisitor – Martyr
Action RPGPCPlayStation 4NeocoreGames
Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor – Martyr is a Diablo-style action RPG that casts players as an all-powerful Inquisitor purging heresy across the haunted Caligari Sector. Distinguished by a cover system and destructible environments, it pairs the genre's endless loot grind with the paranoid authority of the Inquisition, letting players pass judgement on whole worlds from a personal warship.
2016TrailerSpace Hulk: Deathwing
First-person shooterPCPlayStation 4Streum On Studio
Space Hulk: Deathwing is a first-person shooter set aboard the drifting mega-wrecks of the 41st Millennium, casting players as a Terminator Librarian of the Dark Angels. Encased in slow, heavy armour, squads hold cramped corridors against sudden, swarming Genestealer assaults, capturing the specific dread of hunting monsters in the dark aboard a haunted, derelict hulk.
2016TrailerBattlefleet Gothic: Armada
Real-time strategyPCTindalos Interactive
Battlefleet Gothic: Armada adapts the spaceship-combat tabletop into a real-time strategy game of ponderous void warships trading broadsides across the dark. Recreating the Gothic War between the Imperial Navy and a vast Chaos incursion, it captures the lumbering menace of capital-ship battle — torpedo runs, boarding actions, reactor detonations — in one of the few games to tackle 40K naval warfare.
2011TrailerWarhammer 40,000: Space Marine
Third-person actionPCPlayStation 3Relic Entertainment
The 2011 original that made a lone Space Marine feel like a walking siege engine, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine casts players as Captain Titus of the Ultramarines defending a Forge World from a massive Ork invasion. Relic fused visceral chainsword melee with bolter gunplay into a seamless 'fury' loop, trading cover-shooter caution for relentless, blood-soaked forward momentum.
2009TrailerWarhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II
Real-time strategy / RPGPCRelic Entertainment
Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II reinvented Relic's series in 2009, largely discarding base-building for tight, tactical skirmishes where cover, flanking, and persistent RPG-style squad progression ruled. Its Blood Ravens campaign faced Orks, Eldar, and a devouring Tyranid hive fleet, while the co-operative Last Stand mode became a beloved side attraction. A divisive but bold evolution of the formula.
2004TrailerWarhammer 40,000: Dawn of War
Real-time strategyPCRelic Entertainment
Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War is the 2004 real-time strategy classic that defined the setting for a generation. Relic broke from base-building convention by prizing aggressive territorial control, squad tactics, and cinematic melee executions. Its Blood Ravens campaign and a celebrated run of expansions made it a cultural touchstone and established the studio as the premier custodian of the 40K licence.
