Yeah, and 40k isn't really about individual characters; there's very few individuals that could survive adventuring in the 40k universe on their own, and the majority of them are Space Marines or Chaos demons.

It'd be fun if you could play as any one of those. Inquisitor, Space Marine, guardsman, colonel, tanker, CSM, assassin. etc.

[PTTG??]

Half-Life 3.

That's a game I wish existed.

[itisnotlogical]

It's been a long time. I'm starting to fear that it might be like Duke Nukem Forever, assuming they're actively working on it and not biding their time for something else.

Except no.
Rogue Traders, Inquisitors, lot's of random mercenaries, etc. While they indeed do have retinues they could proably fend off for themselves.

Now that we're on 40k talk, I would love an empire building RPG based on Rogue Trader. Bring your family name to the edges of the Imperiums light and build your own trade empire across multiple sectors. Hire former Guard and Navy personnel to staff estates on all your local imperial worlds and to man your fleet. Trade in alien artifacts; most Tau and Eldar goods require good relationship building and weapons/tech require........creative trade ideas. Find chaos artifacts, immediately be contacted by the Inquisition and be given an offer you can't refuse. Amass your personal army and navy towards installing your distant cousins as planetary governors so you can build factories to produce weapons and armor to smuggle to civil warzones on unstable planets.

Inquisiton is good, but not that good.

If you made a game of it you could just control a large amount of guards using something similar to the swarming of locusts.

I like the Prospector RL system, that uses away-team memers as hitpoints.

Actually, it would be much funnier if that was one guardsman. You would die a lot, that's for sure, but with incoming promotions and better gear (if you live), possibly even getting to drive a tank or something, your chances to live would incerase, up to the point where you would have to be really unlucky to die. It would really give a meaning to what you have achieved because you need skill and insane amounts of luck.

It actually reminds me of "All Guardsmen Party" and "Darwinian Character Creation". That's how I would want my Imperial Guardsmen game.

[itisnotlogical]

I want Super Mario Maker, but for the classic id software FPS verse (Wolf 3D, Doom 1 and 2, Quake 1 thru 3). Make small levels using pieces from all the games, play and rate others' levels.

They'd probably have to compromise on some mechanics in order to make all the pieces play nice, but modern Doom WADs are so removed from the original that you might as well just play Quake anyway

wh 40 k analogue of battlefront

[Akura]

wh 40 k analogue of battlefront

There's a Source mod in the works, at least.

Unfortunately, the human side is the bloody Smurfs. And it doesn't seem too active. Although the most recent update was today, the one before that was in May.

Actually, the "human side" is now Blood Angels AFAIK. You can easily change that with skins that are on the page tho. Also they hold games like every day but any meaningful number of people (6+) is on weekends.

I always wondered how an entire faction of unmodified squishy humans who would die if sneezed at by pretty much any other unit in existence, suddenly acquire a strength on par with Power-Armored demigods and Orks just by being promoted to a Comissar or Commander. This is entirely judging by the computer games, I have no experience with the fluff or the miniature games.

[Niveras]

It's not really that, it's the wheat from the chaff. In the early days, what passes for a commissar now may have been a proto-space marine, genetically speaking. In terms of potential anyway, prior to all the augmentation.

Besides, how many millions of Imperial Guards die before you notice a noteworthy commissar? I mean, I don't think the commissars even really fare all that well against anything else in the galaxy, they're just up a step above the rank and file IGs.
