I think it could be very possible for an FPS with an IG stormtrooper(s) as the main character(s). If anyone thinks that this wouldn't be possible due to IG forces being having to be "cannon fodder" then look at Warhammer 40k fire warrior, a young inexperienced fire warrior is killing hundreds of guardsmen, space marines, chaos space marines, and even faces off and defeats a greater daemon, while in real 40k a fire warrior can barely tackle 5 guardsmen. A video game will always bend the reality of a universe in that way. Even Titus of Warhammer 40k Space Marine had many ways he could have died or taken serious injury.

While I do not disagree that guardsmen die easily, my point is that a game can always be bent anyways. You may sit there and complain about the game not being fully cannon to 40k but in the end you'll enjoy it and continue to play it anyways :p

But at that playing as an IG stormtrooper or Guardsman might not have as good of a story as perhaps playing as an Eldar guardian would have. There are litterally no thoughts of a 40k video game where the main character is an Eldar, and even a Dark Eldar. I could simply imagine the enjoyment I'd get from the game being a Dark Eldar and just dropping my sadistic and combat drugged character into an Imperial city to slaughter innocents and guardsmen. A game such as that might even have a better level up system. You could collect souls to buy new wargear or at your own risk, kill other Dark Eldar for their wargear. And the main character could even grow to be an Archon leading a Kabal from a Kabalite Warrior.
