Inquisitor @ 28mm is becoming a popular choice.

What is Inquisitor, exactly?

Inquisitor was a 54mm miniature game GW came out with around 10 years ago. It's like a miniature and role playing game hybrid. it was part of Fanatic and then Specialist Games until GW completely removed all support for it.

Another option for 40k is Aetherverse. It has a troop builiding system. You can find info in this thread:

There's a poster on Dakka looking to release something called Planetfall later this year.
Looks promising.

This... this looks very interesting. It was a very good call to put those Predator models on the front page

Edit; Also loving the Aetherverse stuff. Screw factions, I'd take troop construction any day. Definitely gonna take a look at all the other options here

It's also quite rules heavy. I read through it and it seemed unplayable, but some folks really enjoy the granularity of the system. Also, the depth to which you can develop a character is impressive. Lastly, the rulebook itself is gorgeous. I picked up a used copy last year, just to have the pretty pictures.

If you like the setting, but not the rules, check out the "Inquisimunda" rules in my earlier post that put the Inquisitor setting and factions with the rules from Necromunda.

warpath by mantic? might take some rejiggering of the existing factions depending on what you play in 40k, but from what i've heard it is a pretty solid ruleset...

I will agree with that

I'm pretty sure lists for every 40k army already exist as well.

checkers/ chess mebbe?
