Best Warhammer 40k game?

[frank]

I’m interested in getting into the Warhammer games but I’m not really sure what game to star with. Any suggestions?

I would say Dawn of War or Dawn of War II. Both great games in their own way, even beyond being great WarHammer games.

Worst? Take your pick of the recent ones. Age of Reckoning has to be up their as well.

If you like classic RTS (building bases and optimising ressources) the first Dawn of war is great.

Space Marine is alright for a third person shooter

Dawn of War 1 collection is really good if you like playing base building RTS style games. Plus you can get a few good mods for Soulstorm to add more fun content to the game.

Dawn of War 2 is a ether a love it, or hate it game for the fact that it isn't a base building RTS. It is more of a cover based tactical strategy game. I haven't played it myself for the simple fact that I'm not sure it would be a game that I would enjoy. However I have seen videos on the game to know what the gameplay is like.

Dawn of War 3's single player looked promising from the gameplay videos I saw. However it ended up being more like a tutorial then anything. I wouldn't have mind that if they would have released more campaign expansion. Sadly support, and content updates got killed off by the community. They felt that the game was way too "MOBA" for them, and review bombed it into oblivion before it even had a chance to get more content.

Space Marine is a fun third person shooter at least for the short time I played the game. I played the PS3 version at a friends house for a few hours to see if I would like it.

As for the rest of the games I haven't taken the time to look into them so I don't have much info about those games. I say look at the first two Dawn of War games, and see if one of them would be something you would enjoy.

Battlefleet Gothic is a very simple rts. Nowhere near the depth of the Dawn of War games, but fun if you enjoy space ship battles.

Spacehulk Deathwing is very linear but has a great 40K atmosphere. 3 terminators mowing down hordes of xenos scum with some crazy ass heavy weaponry.

Inquisitor Martyr I haven't played enough of yet to really give a thumbs up. It's definitely very rough around the edges.
