No, I didn’t forget those, but I was specifically referring to games that are in the 40k Universe and use the same scale. Blackstone Fortress uses the same scale but has very specifics miniatures to it, which is why I left it out. We could also go with

– the burning of prospero

– betrayal at calth

Though I’m not sure these 2 are still sold – great boxed sets, both of them.

As for Adeptus Titanicus, it first came about during Rogue Trader era, before second ed 40k even – come to think of it Epic Space Marine 2nd Edition also came out just before 40k 2nd Ed, so they were already in play at the time the OP was gaming in the 40k universe.

There was also Space Fleet at that time, though I think briefly, and Confrontation (which I mentioned above, also predates 40k 2nd ed, IIRC)

I’ve always thought of the different scaled games (AT/Epic/Aeronautica and BFG) as complements to the universe. Well, in my case, 40k stuff is a complement to my main game which is Epic) – Me and my brother have an ongoing campaign that has games of all of these systems, including betrayal at calth and even Space Crusade, mixing and matching for a grand narrative. So we’ve had games of literally all this stuff to paint a really nice picture. We are even thinking of including our other, not so 40k-inclined brother by using one of the RPG systems 🙂

And nice tip on the Star Breach project! Didn’t know about that one! I must investigate further! Thanks!
