It's been known for a while now that Creative Assembly is developing a new Total War game set in the Warhammer 40K universe. Despite its many issues I still think that their Total War: Warhammer (fantasy) titles were the best work they ever did. Still, 40K is a completely different beast that requires different approach than standard Total War entry. For fantasy they could rely on what they already had, since in the end you still had your standard troop formations, cavalry, chariots, archers etc. They just had to add big monsters and magic. For 40K there's way more to handle since modern warfare doesn't really work on very large units just charging at each other.

So far it seems they're tackling it really nicely though and addressing some of those concerns.

Yeah TW:W started amazing and it had great ideas and implementation at the start.

However the battles were an issue...they were too slow to be fun in our SC background sense....but way too fast to enjoy seeing your armies battling it out. Hard to explain but at some point it was irrelevant what faction you were picking as simple outmicroing AI or opponents would do it and that killed it for me. TW and specially TWWH was based on that spectable and with every iteration they increased the pace that removed that aspect, be it due to high damage or micro the magic users and that made it worse for me personally.

That is why im not that excited for 40k despite me liking 40k more. Not sure how will they approach it (plus im still scarred from the butchering DOC into monogods in the other one

There are DoC in TW:WH (there are monogods too).

And battles are kinda engaging now. I'm watching more competitive TWW recently than other stuff:
