Battlefleet Gothic: Armada
While the Warhammer 40K world has received many great RTS titles, none of them have reached this epic of a scale.
Battlefleet Gothic: Armada takes Games Workshop’s classic tabletop game into outer space. There, the forces of Chaos, Imperium, Eldar, and Orks fight against each other in huge battleships. Two more fleets - the Space Marines and T’au Empire - can be deployed thanks to the game’s DLCs.
Battlefleet Gothic: Armada features a grand story campaign, taking place during the 12th Black Crusade. The game offers an extensive multiplayer mode where up to 4 players can battle simultaneously. Moreover, it also enables you to manage every ship of your fleet, both during and between battles.
Battlefleet Gothic: Armada 2

This means you can now control the forces of the Imperial Navy, Space Marines, Adeptus Mechanicus, Necrons, Chaos, Aeldari Corsairs, Aeldari Craftworld, Drukhari, the T’au Merchant and Protector Fleets, Orks, and the Tyranids.
Battlefleet Gothic: Armada 2 is set during the events of the Gathering Storm and the 13th Black Crusade from the Warhammer 40k universe. The title features 3 solo campaigns (the fourth is available in the Chaos Campaign Expansion DLC) and an improved multiplayer mode.
Space Hulk: Deathwing
Now, it’s your time to become a Terminator of the Deathwing, a part of the elite Space Marine Chapter, the Dark Angels.
Space Hulk: Deathwing is a massively engaging FPS based on the tabletop game from Warhammer 40,000 universe. It’s also a worthy sequel to the two classic games from 1993 and 1996.
Your main mission is to fight the ever-growing horde of the Tyranid Genestealers, within the claustrophobic confines of a Space Hulk Olethros ship. With every fight in the solo and multiplayer modes, you get stronger by gaining experience and salvaging destructive weapons and other equipment. The game has spawned 3 DLCs - Infested Mines, Knights of the Crimson Order, and Skulls for the Skull Throne - adding some hefty additional content.
