NEVER PLAYED A WARHAMMER
This is my first Warhammer game. Perhaps, like me, this title will get some people who stayed away a little interested in the lore and universe.

My question is this, marines and heretics...

What Warhammer 40k game (ON STEAM) is closest to this style of gameplay? Ive been eyeing Vermintide 2. I figured I would ask the experts. Thanks in advance!

Darktide. But you are playing as human. You do remember them, it dozen of whom you are killing in this game. So in darktide you are struggling to survive most of time

When you look for a Warhammer Game what is "similar in Gameplay" to Boltgun, then look for Warhammer 40K Space Marine from 2011.

Space Marine is another one, third person, but it's combat focused with tons of gore and a cool story and characters.

Third person :steamfacepalm: ... any FPS mods?

Well, there is Deathwing which is sort of a l4d game in the settings. Fun with people, but repetitive single player with a pretty forgettable story. I think it's ultra cheap rn.

Also Hired Guns is a very janky fps, there is some fun to be had with it as long as you keep your expectations in check.

Also if you like tactical games in real time, Dawn of War 2 is god tier, it plays almost like an action game.

Im not very sure, but i think there is a First Person Mod for Space Marine 🤔

Deathwing is not so bad in Coop.
There are now a few mods for it. Like more enemy spawns, sound and music mods...

Try out Necromunda Hired Gun https://store.steampowered.com/app/1222370/Necromunda_Hired_Gun/ It is also fast paced shooter (more closer to Doom 2016 though) set in 40k universe at Necromunda (one of the biggest and most important hive worlds), however you are going to play not as a space marine but a regular bounty hunter.

this

It may be 3rd person but it's an amazing game and it's very fluid between melee and ranged combat. One of the best 40k games out there. Real Space Marines take no cover.

That’s not what I learned from playing Dawn of War…

I also echo Space Marine as a comparable game with good production values. Dawn of war is a decent RTS that cuts your teeth on the concept of space marines,

Buy space marine, is what happened on Graia before Boltgun and it an amazing action game.

Is not an fps but it is one of the best, if not the best, warhammer 40k action game ever made.
