If you are new to 40k RPG or if you are looking to GM, and most particularly if you are looking to play 40k RPG online over skype here are a selection of what I have found by far the best tools to be in four years of GMing Dark Heresy, Rogue Trader, Deathwatch, Black Crusade, and Only War.
Deathwatch Character Generator
The Essentials
- Excel Character Builder/Sheet by Memetix
Hands down the best tool for building a character. It handles Dark Heresy, Rogue Trader, Deathwatch, and Grey Knight characters, and supports all rulebooks. If you are working on your character any other way you are working too hard. This will handle all calculations and options for you for those systems. Memetix is a great guy and can be reached on the FFG forums in this thread if you have issues. - PDF-Xchange Viewer
The only pdf viewer you should ever use on windows. I can't recommend this product enough. It is by far the fastest pdf viewer out there, including foxit, adobe reader, etc. It also has tabs just like a modern browser making switching back and forth between lots of PDFs a breeze. Seriously, between the speed and the tabs, it will make you love PDF's when gaming! And of course almost all 40k products are available as PDFs now from.. - Warhammer 40k RPG PDF's From DriveThruRPG
I love owning the physical books, but they are far less efficient when it comes to pulling up information quickly. Furthermore it's often very useful to be able to easily copy text and images from the books into your own documents/maps or to send to players.
Online Tabletop/40k RPG Simulator: Maptool + Wolph42/BTS's 40k RPG Framework
- Overview
This is the tool that I have used to play 40k RPG for years. It has made it possible for me to play skype games so easily that I now use it to play in person games as well. A crew of delightful maniacs led by Wolph42 have assembled a gigantic system for implementing virtually every single 40k RPG rule from all the settings. - This means you can play a game with your friends where you have a virtual tabletop that you can create maps on, add tokens/miniatures to, and have the computer correctly handle all of the rules and rolls. Each token represents a character and with a couple clicks you can roll skills, simulate complex attacks including lightning attack/dodge/parry/full auto/cover/unnatural toughness/etc, use psyker powers, engage in vehicle and starship combat, and do pretty much anything 40k RPG allows. It does have a bit of learning curve but it is well worth it in the time it saves you and the fact that it frees your brain to tell the story rather than remember vast charts of modifiers and rule specifics. There is NO other online tabletop that even comes to 1/100th of the rules implementation and power.Layout options (Acrobat only, not Adobe Reader): To print comments using a different layout, click the Comment pane on the right side of the document window. In the options menu, choose Create Comment Summary. Select options and click the Create Comment Summary button. Acrobat opens a separate PDF of the pages and summarized comments.
- It is an evolving project so there are some bugs but it is in active development and nothing spurs them like new people using it. You can also get involved and I've worked with them before to add things like faith powers and new psyker powers. Very cool people.
- Download Maptool
Maptool is a java-based online tabletop program, so it runs on windows and mac. maptool-1.3.b87 is the one you want. To get this to run properly you need to make sure the stack size of at least 5. In Windows: Right click the file Launch MapTool-1G-Memory.bat and choose edit. Replace the contents with:
'C:Program FilesJavajre7binjavaw' -Xmx2048M -Xss5M -jar maptool-1.3.b87.jar run
If you have Java 7 64 bit (its faster)
'C:Program Files (x86)Javajre7binjavaw' -Xmx2048M -Xss5M -jar maptool-1.3.b87.jar run
If you have Java 7 32 bit.
Double click the file to run. I recommend LogMeIn Hamachi if you are having problems connecting to each other.

This is quite out of date, but maybe with more attention it will get brought up to speed.
Mapping
- Spacehulk Tilesystem
Want to create your own spacehulk maps using great looking artwork? This tool makes it easy. Quickly create a space hulk map using tiles from the impossible to get a hold of official Spacehulk games and export to JPG or PDF. Awesome. - 'Token' Images

- 40k RPG Master Bestiary
A list of all 1400+ npcs, vehicles, and starshps from all the books with book name and page number. More details in this other post - Official Errata & Free Extras
Each system has an official support page with errata (must have) and free extras for the published books. Often very useful extras, but the errrata are critical for GM's. For example, the Deathwatch errata completely rebalances all weapons to reduce the number of dice you need to roll.
Dark Heresy | Rogue Trader | Deathwatch | Black Crusade | Only War - The Official Forums
Each game has a set of official forums on the Fantasy Flight site, including subforums for GMs. Tons of great advice, house rules, adventure ideas, world discussions and more are packed away in here. - The Official Fantasy Flight Rules Question Form
Submit your rules question here and they will answer it. Give them a break and do some googling/searching the forums first, but they will answer this! Usually takes a couple days though. Get answers from the guys who wrote the books.
40k Universe Information
Two huge wikis with all the information on all the parts of the universe. Fantastic resources. They often cover info introduced by the 40k RPGs too.

- Rogue Trader Ship Generator
Missing some items from Hostile Aquisitions and a bit out of date but a great place to start if you aren't using the newest books. - Space Hulk Generator - Requires Ark of Lost Souls I threw this together at some point to save on rolling.
Misc
- AnyDice - Simple Dice Probability Calculator
Need to figure out what the average damage is between two weapons? How DH psyker powers scale compared to Black Crusade? This awesome tool makes it all simple.
Final Note
That's all for now, probably a good start. If anyone else has some suggestions, particularly in the areas of mapping resources, generators, or other tools to make the GM's job easier, please let me know.
