GW don't want to make games like that though, they've stated they don't want to take anything away from the really hobby.plus you can't charge £200 for an army online.
most of the fun of playing 40k is having an army to paint, you could never make it translate onto computer

Surely painting and modularly making an army on a PC would be even easier.And not just modding and texturing, I mean snapping bits together, making this bloke have this gun, stick these accessories on him, etc.
It's crap though, the games either control awfully like Blood Bowl, are just generally crap like Firewarrior, or are RTSes which my personality physically can't play like Dawn of War. Or are Space Hulk.
In fact a group of swedish indie game devlopers even made a completely new freeware version of Space Hulk from scratch with the permission, well they told them and didn't object, of the Games Workshop then they got all pissy and sent them a cease and desist. Got it on my harddrive somewhere.

the "making this bloke have this gun, stick these accessories on him etc." is in DOW2 as well

Can you really crudely paint an Ogryn to look like BA Baracus and then kit out a tank to look like the A-Team van?*is guilty of doing this*

Had to, GW found out they never finished paying the original creators before they fired them.A number of their older titles are in a similar legal limbo due
to failure to play fair with past contractors and employees.
Not that it's stopped them from selling and pretending otherwise, LOL.
