LFG Warhammer 40K, ideally RT

Experienced RPer who's less experienced with the 40k setting looking for a 40K game of some sort; ideally RT though I'm willing to try any of the others. Schedule is very flexible.
Time zone? Tone of campaign (lighthearted and fun, grimdark and gothic)? Could you narrow down your 'very flexible' schedule? If it includes Monday evenings from 7pm-11pm, I'm interested in playing DH1, DH2, or RT.
Pacific Time Zone (UTC-08:00), either ore, and I truly mean very flexible.  Basically whenever is needed, I can make available.  I'm an insomniac who works from home on his computer so yeah, I can be free when needed. xD
I'd be interested. I work in IT overnights, so I'm free Saturday, Sunday, and Monday nights each week, sometimes more than that. I'm in GMT-7, and free on those nights from 4pm onward. I have the whole collection of 40k RPGs from DH1 onward, and I'd like to see an RT game actually work (so far I've only seen RT games that are collections of special snowflakes that fall apart within 2 sessions). I have Skype for voice as well. I've done a lot of GMing in the setting (grimdark and gothic, but still internally logical and generally not gonzo) but I don't have anything prepped and I've been on a dry spell for campaign ideas for a few months, but I'm open as a player. PM me.
Yeah, that always is the trick with RT and having much the same problem with my current real life sessions right now where I was nominated the RT and have a crew of special snowflakes who feel the need to argue the captain at every step.  The irony being the captain (me) is really not a special snowflake.  Was 8th in line to the head of the household and got there only by a warp accident, served unspectacularly in the navy, etc  Which for a RT is pretty unspecial given RTs by nature tend to be special snowflakes. I'd prefer to be a player but if ---really--- needed I could try my hand at GMing the setting. As said my schedule is super flexible so it depends more on any others who chime in.
Most of my experience is with Dark Heresy 1st ed, with a bit of Deathwatch and Black Crusade here and there, most of it in the same sector with the same history and group of players. Sadly, we've all but disbanded due to various familial or financial obligations to the point that we can't muster a proper group anymore, so that's around 7 years of Dark Heresy history that is largely gone now. The only thing I have partly developed is an Only War game with a twist - the PCs are all Adepta Sororitas. Would be set during the retaking of a shrine world from the Tau Empire, with a good helping of various Tau auxiliaries for variety (tau, kroot, vespid, gue'vesa, etc). That has a very narrow scope by comparison to a Rogue Trader game, given that all PCs have the same origin, faith, even gender, and the combat would likely feature heavily given that it's Only War. I personally just want to see a successful RT game at all - I've been in about 5 RT campaigns that have all had a failure to launch in some form, but I want to really see the setting shine. I just don't understand sandboxy games well enough to try to make it happen myself.
Like I said, if we can't find another GM I can try my hand at it.  The one I'm playing in person is interesting in the sense that it is more OW with RT stuff added on rather than just RT. It pretty much eliminates tiers so far though which I've yet to figure out whether or not that has any actual detrimental affect beyond career paths and such but as careers also become not a thing this way beyond what you start with; we'll see. Either way, I agree with you.  I played one other campaign and it was a DH campaign and it ended very abrubptlly for some sort of RL reason I can not recall; ever other RT campaign I've tried to get into never even got off the ground so it'd be nice to see one play out.
