Actually I consider this rather good news, more video games based on Warhammer is never a bad thing. Shadow of the Horned Rat, Dark Omen, Mark of Chaos, all decent rts/rpg strategy games, now the makers of some of the very best strategy games get's the license, it's a match made in heaven.

It's almost too perfect.....now I'm nervous, this better be for pc.

Im eager to see what they do with it. Apart from the Relic games, Games Workshop licenses have seen a lot of hit and miss.

Good news to start my day :D

I hope it will be more Total War-like then Alien-like, although that seems obvious!! :D

It has to be a strategy game, because you know, its Creative Assembly and Warhammer is best known for the war game, but I always wanted a full computer RPG based on the timeless Enemy Within campaign for Warhammer Fantasy RPG. Best campaign ever, in any PnP rpg.

I've always wanted to see a Wahammer: Total War since I first played Shogun. This is great news.

More Warhammer is good for everyone. I'm excited.

As a once avid player of the tabletop fantasy game who no longer has the time or drive to slave over a painting bench, I'm thrilled. If they just reskinned Shogun2 and added some options to color your own troops, it would be an instant buy for me.

That being said - have more vision than I do, devs! Make this great!

I've never played a 40k game, however I love the TW series so I'll be giving it a try... that is assuming it's a game made in the same vein as TW.

40K seems like a vast universe with a history that looks like you need a doctorate in to fully wrap your brain around. That's kinda bad... or problematic anyway. There's something to be said about a universe where the player enters on the ground floor learning everything as he plays as opposed to starting off fealing like there's such a mountain of history behind every faction and unit that they all might as well just be abstract markers on the playing board.

Total War always covered various ages and cultures in history. 40K seems like a pretty good scifi universe to explore a similar product release paradigm that spans the 40,000 years of the game universe.

One word. YYYYYYYEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

Can't wait to see the Warhammer franchise evolve through the use of the Total War system. This is going to be fantastic!
