Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Warhammer 40,000 at Free against Warbits's $0.99. Warhammer 40,000 also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (48K vs 644). Warbits's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 20) and ads (none vs shown). On rating and device support there is nothing between them.
