Games like Warhammer 40,000 (Fifth Edition)

Looking for games like Warhammer 40,000 (Fifth Edition)? It rewards players who think several moves deep through tight, interlocking systems — built on asymmetric powers that make your side play unlike any other and pushing your luck against the roll. This page rounds up 12 of the closest alternatives, scored on mechanical overlap with the original (45%), complexity match (35%), and player-count fit (20%), then weighted by BoardGameGeek community ratings so every pick is one players genuinely rate. The strongest matches come first; the further down you go, the more a game trades exact overlap for a fresh take on the same core appeal.
