Have you ever used the Warhammer 40,000 System for any tabletop games? If you've played Dark Heresy, Rogue Trader, Black Crusade, Deathwatch, Only War, or Wrath & Glory, you've used this system or one of its derivatives. Wikipedia says the following about it:
As I've said before in the other threads, the D20 System is the undeniable favorite for tabletop RPGs today, but there are plenty of options out there for those who don't like D20 or might be looking for something different. My goal in these little surveys is to highlight the different systems and options available to tabletop fans...we aren't here to bash anyone's favorites. So! If you've used the Warhammer 40,000 RPG System, I'd really like to hear about your experience. What did you like/dislike about it? What games did you play? And if you've never played it or one of the many successful games that use it, what's stopping you? I'll collect everyone's votes and give the system a "grade" from A+ to F, just for fun.
Grade: B-
Of those who voted, 96% have heard of it and about half (52%) have played it.
Of those who have played it: 21% love it, 33% like it, 25% are lukewarm, 21% dislike it, and 0% hate it.

Warhammer 40,000 Roleplay is a role-playing game system with multiple source books set within the Warhammer 40,000 universe. The first game using the system, Dark Heresy, was created by Black Industries, which closed soon after the initial release. Official support by Fantasy Flight Games was discontinued in September 2016. The license was later acquired by Ulisses Spiele, who published a new game, Wrath & Glory, in 2018.
For Fantasy Flight developed material, the Warhammer 40,000 Roleplay system is explained and used with small differences in a series of five independently playable games. Each has a different, narrow focus and multiple supporting books of its own.
When the Warhammer 40,000 Roleplay license was transitioned to Ulisses, the system was re-designed. The first campaign under the new developer is Wrath & Glory, which allows player characters of many different races and backgrounds, and implements a card deck system that is used alongside traditional dice rolling.

The "grade" is calculated as follows:
The grading formula:
GPA = Σ(PiVi)
where:
Key
Over 3.75 = A+
3.51 to 3.75 = A
3.26 to 3.50 = A-
3.01 to 3.25 = B+
2.76 to 3.00 = B
2.51 to 2.75 = B-
2.26 to 2.50 = C+
1.76 to 2.25 = C
1.51 to 1.75 = C-
1.26 to 1.50 = D+
1.01 to 1.25 = D
0.75 to 1.00 = D-
Under 0.75 = F
- Votes from people who have not played it will not affect the grade.
- "I love it" votes are worth 4 points. The highest score, comparable to an "A" vote.
- "It's pretty good" votes are worth 3 points. The equivalent of a "B" vote.
- "It's alright I guess" votes are worth 2 points. This is your basic "C" vote.
- "It's pretty bad" votes are worth 1 point. This is considered a "D" vote.
- "I hate it" votes are worth 0 points. The lowest score, considered an "F" vote.
The grading formula:
GPA = Σ(PiVi)
where:
GPA = "grade-point average," the grading score used in the Key below.
Vi = percentage of votes in each category (Love, Like, Meh, Dislike, or Hate)
Pi = corresponding score for that category (4, 3, 2, 1, or 0)
