A 40k horror game.

[zmanbuilder]

We have gotten too used to the warp, give us a look at it through the eyes of a guardsmen or just a imperial citizen.

It is hard for people like me whom are new ish to 40k to understand how powerful a space marine is, if we first do not understand how weak guardsmen and just average people are in this grim dark universe.

Imagine a game with a simple horror plot, guy goes searching for his missing brother after said brother sent him a strange invitation, leading to a chaos cult, that seems fairly normal and welcoming but the more you investigate, the more warp influence you start to see.

Because as far as i know, normal citizens do not know about the warp or chaos.

Pretty sure 40k is such a big universe you could pretty much do any genre of game you want honestly, i could even see a 40k racing game not being out of place.

Tbh that'd be rad as hell. Hear me out, you'd play as an Imperial Guard messenger. You'd have to run across a massive battlefield, occasionally getting a ride where you can. And avoiding fights when you can. Sometimes you reach a scene where you have to survive for a preset time before someone else comes to fight off your foe. Like an Ogryn, a squad, or even an Astartes. Or you find a dropped weapon allowing you to defeat said foe if your lasgun/las pistol isn't up to snuff

I mean, have you tried sprinting at the cultists on a chaos mission yet?

I would recommend an audiobook done by a guy named Weshammer on youtube. Its called "the last ascension of dominic seroff" or something to that effect.

That is a terrific example of what the universe would be like for a guardsmen. That is, completely hopeless and without respite. The guy is a little nerdy but thats what I think is cool about him, lol. Weshammer is a great lore buff. Seriously though that 20 minute story will leave you with chills if you truly imagine it as if you were there.

Nah, a Mechanicus Explorator getting stuck in a awakening Tomb-World and has to escape to get to the surface to tell the surface while avoiding some Wraith, Alien:Isolation gameplay, so they can warn the surface/colonist about the threat and call some back-up.

Or a Genestealer cult (where players would think it was a chaos cult first) in a Hive City doing some shenanigans to get a Tyranid swarm here, only for them to also get recolted by them, while you need to flee.

Or some human (some scavenger/rogue trader maybe?) stuck in a Space Hulk derelict while it travel inside the warp.

Or a Drukhari raid on a Space-station where the protagonist get kidnapped, and has to find a way out of Commoragh with all the crazy sh*t going on there.

I mean, there's plenty to go for a horror themed Warhammer 40K game.

You could even do some funny "simulator" game where you need to clean up or something for the vault under the Palace on Terra, or even be a Necron that have to catalog all the goodies Trazyn has in his Planet-size bank.

There is a 40k power wash game so anything is possible.

Technically not a game, but a DLC for a game.

[Diajja]

There are 400+ books and 30 years of lore and 100+ games. Everything you need to get caught up.

Or a Drukhari

Stop calling them by that new gay name. Just call em Dark Eldar.

Pft, You're not guardsmen in Darktide. You're four named characters with the thickest plot armor in 40K.

that is very different from what I was picturing. I like it

Why not, any WH40k game will be welcome, especially a horror with a twisted plot.
