Interview and more pics can be found here.

If this turns out to be good, it'll be a first for a game based on the Warhammer 40K franchise. You better be able to play something besides Space Marines and Chaos Marines. I want my Dark Eldar, damnit.

Starts off with Space Marines, Chaos Marines, Orks, and Chaos Orks.

Expansion sets should include different races.

Er, Firewarrior? That was a 40k-base game, I thought.


Anyway, this looks kind of interesting. I was in a crash course as far as Warhammer goes over the summer, and it's all rushing back. My God, that rule book... I would love a videogame (better than Firewarrior) that included all that knowledge I had to cram.

The GW worlds are really, really cool. I hope this game is good.

Indeed, Firewarrior was 40K based. I nevertheless stick by my claim. It was horrid shit, but I will grant you that it was a step above the godawful turn based strats that preceded it.

Can't wait to see what some of the more specialty characters look like. Yeah, they got the Marines down right, but hey, bring on accurate models of the freaky ones, I'll be all over this.

And pst- I hate the Dark Eldar.

That second shot is sweet. Is there a release date yet?
