The first edition of 40k, Rogue Trader, was very much an RPG that required a GM. It had a lot of character creation like you were recruiting a party of space adventurers to go on secret missions. Warhammer Fantasy was like a scaled up version of Chainmail, the skirmish wargame for D&D. It remained cross compatible with the Fantasy RPG until around 5th. Edition (I think? I started playing in late 6th. for Fantasy and in 3.5 for 40k, well after the games shed their heavy RPG elements).
There are several RPGs set in every GW franchise except Blood Bowl. Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, Inquisitor, Wrath & Glory, Soulbound, and Dark Heresy all remain popular. Inquisitor especially has seen a revival with the 28mm movement, called Inq28.
