Some of the very best game sessions I've ever had were ones that didn't use any map whatsoever. It's nice to have visual aids, of course, but I don't think it's always an absolute must-have.
That doesn't work for 40k, to my understanding. It's a miniatures combat game
For reference I mean the 40k TTRPGs like Wrath and Glory and Dark Heresy, not the original wargame.
The cool thing about them is that you already have miniatures you can use (the classes in WtG are mostly tied to existing unit types in the warhame), and you can tie wargame and TTRPG storylines, but making maps is difficult.
