30k/40k is probably too modern for the TW series.
Creative Assembly have done ranged/gun combat as a primary focus in Total War games before and with the technology in their latest Total War games I think it might be doable but only with the WH30K setting.
Total war games operate on basis of traditional historical massive unit formations and codex astares does not support this action.
I don't recall Warhammer Fantasy being a traditional historical happening in our history and it's a good thing that the Codex Astartes wasn't around during the Great Crusade and the majority of the Horus Heresy then.

What's the problem with a hundred or so Space Marine in line formation during the Great Crusade or Horus Heresy?
I think it could work in 30K/HH, not in 40K, you dont have small strike teams of 10 space marines but deployments of thousand on one planet, so I think they could move in formations and who cares that assault marines would be using pistol to shoot you from 1 meter just for the sake of staying as melee unit ...
as cavalry you could have bikes, bigger units could be squads of dreads or termies, big units dont follow any proper formation anyway .. and with army of few hundred space marines, no pathethic weakling imperial guard anywhere in sight you could deploy titans as the biggest unit, and it would still look good in TW gameplay..
as legendary lords you could have primarchs, passive bonuses would come from fluff for every legion, alpha legion could have better diplomacy, world eaters would reduce public order while being in province, pert would have shorter siege time while rogal would have it longer ...
planet systems instead of regions and sector of galaxy as whole map, and instead of cities you fight for planets ...
eldars were active during HH so they could be there but nobody wants them anyway ... 6 ork klanz for 6 beasts .. and it could be loyalists/traitors no need to have 18 armies

Well, you see, we're not playing 30k stuff, where they were literally legions.
We're playing 40k, where a FULL CHAPTER is less then half of your average army inWH:FB and literally any single other army, Eldar included, outnumber SM 10 to 1 at the absolute very least.
Total war format is as unsuitable for 40k as Splatoon format is for CoD.

Warhammer Fantasy also has very few videogames and started to sell poorly in regards to GW models compared to Warhammer 40,000 and yet Total War: Warhammer and Warhammer: The End Times - Vermintide sold very well.
I think thats one of reasons why warhammer scifi universe will never be popular all the good stuff is in 30k .. massive battles, tons of titans and giant stuff, primarchs, big E ... all you get in every game is small bunch of some boring space marines fighting orks or eldar in some comical 1v1 match, while what people want to see are titans and giant battles, lot of dakka and shiny things thats what would make this universe popular ...

You have absolutely no knowledge about whether 30k could be a money maker or not, just baseless assumptions.
There is currently a fan made 30k trailer out called Death of Hope and, quite frankly, definitely makes the 30k universe worth of money making.

30k exists literally only as a lightly monetized 40k foundation.
It got no other purpose for GW, who is too busy pushing out new codices for the 40k armies.
You want to know why 30k is unpopular compared to 40k?
Because there are:
-no eldar
-no dark eldar
-no sisters of battle
-no imperial guard(as we know it)
-no inquisition
-no orks
-no tyrannids
-no chaos
-no necrons
Its literally only space marines vs lesser factions, then there is Horus Heresy stuff, which is space marines vs space marines with exactly the same gear, because they just separated and aren't balls-deep into chaos.
There are no 30k games, because its boring AF setting for a game with extremely lacking variation.
You're blissfully ignorant of that and you dare to call me on lack of knowledge? Hilarity ensured.

IIRC xeno armies in Horus Heresy isn't official but that isn't stopping a few people from making unofficial rule sets. The Great Crusade however did have notable conflicts with xeno like Eldar and Orks (although official rule sets don't exist IIRC).

30k has the exact same potential as 40k, GW continues to make stories and 30k tabletop models.
30k is about as interesting as 40k if not more and you want to know why?
Because there are:
Eldar and Dark Eldar, the fall of the Eldar was happening and Slaanesh was being born; a very important and interesting period of time in 30k.
There was the Imperial guard, jesus dude, the Imperial Army was a thing, do you really think it was only space marines?
There were Orks, please check out the Crusade of Ullanor.
There were Necrons, however very few of the empires were awake at time, they are still awakening in 40k.
No chaos... This has to be a joke. The first 3 gods were always present. Possessed marines had shown up during the Heresy as well.
It was not Space marines VS lesser factions, It was a hectic time for a majority of the races. The imperium was fighting corruption from within, the Eldar were trying to save themselves from the god they birthed, the Orks were literally an empire, Necrons had begun to emerge. The entire galaxy was in turmoil.
So yes I 'dare' to call you on your lack of knowledge because it is clearly lacking while you try to borderline insult people on things you don't even know much about.
You call me blissfully ignorant, and yet here you are acting like everyone is a bloody ape for everything they say.
You're condescending nature is as apparent as ever.

It is to modern you are right,. It would be cool to see a grander scale of warhammer 40k. But with the way Total war is set up it is not possible. I laugh everytime someone brings up that they want CA to make a TW WH40k and that it should be easy to do when even CA said thats something they are not comfortable with atm.
My guess is It wont be CA to make a grand scale 40k game. It would have to be someone else that picks up the license. And even then. Id not think it possible to do. And then there is the 40k community that they will have to deal with lol.

30k has the exact same potential as 40k, GW continues to make stories and 30k tabletop models.
30k is about as interesting as 40k if not more and you want to know why?
Because there are:
Eldar and Dark Eldar, the fall of the Eldar was happening and Slaanesh was being born; a very important and interesting period of time in 30k.
There was the Imperial guard, jesus dude, the Imperial Army was a thing, do you really think it was only space marines?
There were Orks, please check out the Crusade of Ullanor.
There were Necrons, however very few of the empires were awake at time, they are still awakening in 40k.
No chaos... This has to be a joke. The first 3 gods were always present. Possessed marines had shown up during the Heresy as well.
It was not Space marines VS lesser factions, It was a hectic time for a majority of the races. The imperium was fighting corruption from within, the Eldar were trying to save themselves from the god they birthed, the Orks were literally an empire, Necrons had begun to emerge. The entire galaxy was in turmoil.
So yes I 'dare' to call you on your lack of knowledge because it is clearly lacking while you try to borderline insult people on things you don't even know much about.
You call me blissfully ignorant, and yet here you are acting like everyone is a bloody ape for everything they say.
You're condescending nature is as apparent as ever.

It is to modern you are right,. It would be cool to see a grander scale of warhammer 40k. But with the way Total war is set up it is not possible. I laugh everytime someone brings up that they want CA to make a TW WH40k and that it should be easy to do when even CA said thats something they are not comfortable with atm.
My guess is It wont be CA to make a grand scale 40k game. It would have to be someone else that picks up the license. And even then. Id not think it possible to do. And then there is the 40k community that they will have to deal with lol.
