Best oneshot for introducing people to wh40k rp

>inb4 "everyone's imperial guard and dies loads of times"

Anyone?

Give us your preferred system Anon.
"wh40k rp" tells us nothing.

Inquisitorial warband raiding some cultists.

time ago I made a oneshot but never actually played it. Can repost it here-
40K One Shot

A commisar on a hive world report a strange disease spread in his troupes. Some members of the inquisition come to investigate.

PCs are inquisition members + commissar + Sister of Battle.

They meet the governor an his son, a Canoness and Imeprial Guard Colonel and are sent into sewers to investigate.

Random scenes with sick people begging for help and drug addicts approaching and trying to sell drugs to INQUISITION.

Deep in sewers they have a fight and is clear Nurgle is to blame.

They are attacked by an overpowered Plague Marine. Slow but immortal. PCs have to escape. Plague Marine keeps saying "MUST STOP".

Above they are called by Canoness and go to command meeting where they realize that 1/3 of a hive is probably infected. PCs have to face a tough decision: torch 1/3 of a billion strong Hive?

Governor and Imperial Army Colonnel participate to the meeting by vox. Commissar has to convince the Colonel to proceed with the plan they came up with. Whatever they decide all Imperial Guard and all Sororitas get to the task

Suddenly noise over Governor vox. and transmission stops. PCs have to go to Governor house to investigate. (Question 2: Son reopens the vox and says.
>"Nothing to worry about father just started feeling sick. No no is not the plague. do not worry no need to come investigate".

(Question 3: Governor stuff is a distraction for PCs to have something to do. Any better idea on how to distract the PCs?)

PCs go to governor house and find him dead. Stabbed to death dead. Fight some thugs full of neon tattoos and battle drugs in the governor house, clearly not Nurgle cultists.
Imperial Guard reporting. Something big green and impervious to bullets breached our lines and is heading for the Sororitas Main Cathedral. Your force is the closest to it.

PCs go to Cathedral and find the Plague Marine inside. Dead. And decapitated. Governor son comes out.
>"Keikkaku I was villain all along. I'm Slaaneshi cultist. Plague marine was trying to stop me. And now that I have done the bad thing I wanted to do you can't stop me".

Boss fight. Son dies like a bitch, mankind is saved once more (aside the torched hive but whatever).

Edge of Darkness is first edition, but it probably still works for second...

Just homebrew in subtlety and disposition.

It may take two sessions if your dudes don't have characters yet.

Narrow it down OP. What sort of games do your group normally play? Do you want something similar or different?

Dungeon Crawls? Political/Social Intrigue? Space Opera? Wargames?

The issue with giving a recommendation on the 40krpg lines is that while they're all based in the same universe, they have very very different playstyles and focus.

So, lets say your group plays a lot of Traveller, and you want to ease them in with something familiar. Go for Rogue Trader. The ships are bigger, there's a half dozen 0s on the end of the cash amounts, but you're in a ship flying around being independent.

If you want something on the (very) vague lines of Call of Cthulhu, play Dark Heresy. 1st Ed if you want to be the dumb mooks who stumble onto Chaotic Horror, 2nd Ed if you fancy a higher level group (and more polished rules)

Dungeon Crawl? Deathwatch. You're Big Guys with Big Guns. The enemy are over there... Crack on.

Only War for good old soldier fun (You can have a lot of fun with the regiment creation rules, everything from Maximum Operator down to you are playing as plate-mailed knights.)

Fancy being EEEEEVIL? Black Crusade.

It all depends on what sort of game your group fancy playing Anon

These were all wonderful suggestions.

We enjoy playing CoC style games the most, so we might try that Dark Heresy.

Mostly I'd just want to have them something that doesn't require too much knowledge of in depth lore of all the races or terminology, so they have easy time joining in.
