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? (lemmy.world)

Through a little research, I believe RT is the only RPG currently, which is unfortunate because I think it's a great way to soak up the setting.

I have my eye on Mechanicus, because it looks very XCOM influenced. I like the smaller-scale squad-based tactics much more than the army-scale grand strategy/RTS style.

Any other suggestions? I know because of what the original game is, the RTS ones are probably going to be the majority of the PC titles, but there seems to be some representation in just about any genre. I even saw an Ork dogfighting (planes) game.

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.
