GW are converting 40K into a roleplaying game using Warhammer Fantasy
Roleplay basis. Just like Imperium!

Or maybe not.

Its coming out in different sections. Inquisitor focus first, followed
by pirates, aliens, and marines. So instead of getting a tomb-like
plethora of information like you do with Imperium, you will get a
flimsy rulebook and have to wait at least 'eighteen months' for the
expansions to come out!

Also, what happens to GMs when their Inquisitor gets arrested on a
barren world somewhere and forced into slave labour?
Or if the Astartes notice your young character in training and wish to
place him on the path of the Marine?

As a former employee of Games Workshop its great to see them branching
out into pure 40K roleplaying games, even if it is only as a means to
extract more money from you.

You know what the best thing is?
Its WHFB based. Which can only better the true 40K roleplaying game,
Imperium.

Cheers Mr Cowen for a truly quality game.
