Sort of old, I feel like this was swept under the rug. When THQ sold off it's assets in auction Sega acquisitioned Dawn of War developer Relic. Creative Assembly who is also owned by Sega and make quite possibly some of the best strategy games around (Rome: Total War, Medieval, Shogun, etc), look to be tasked with the fantasy universe now.

This blows my mind. The gameplay from the total war series would be perfect for warhammer. Thousands of units fighting bloody battles in formations in non-stop war. I don't know if they have also gained rights to 40k but this alone makes me happy for the future that one day they might.

Sounds good to me. Now all we need is a decent 40k FPS.
