Rogue Trader was the first 40k rulebook and the backround info and rules for creating characters and warbands was quite detailed. (I started with a box of those plastic space orks. Lots of customizing possibilities :) ) I especially like the little quotes and "thought for today" entries placed throughout the book.
Games Workshop just released the 4th edition of Warhammer 40,000, and for the first time, all of the army lists for the previous edition remain valid. (Yay! B) )
I have played the demo of Dawn of War and am planning on picking up the full version this week.
edit: While 4th edition does include some changes to portions of the combat system, basic gameplay remains unchanged from 3rd edition. One of the main objectives of 4th edition was to consolidate all the rules changes and add-ons released over the last few years.
