Warhammer 40’000 is all about violent action and it’s something of a wonder that its rich universe hasn’t spawned any decent action games. I haven’t played the 2003 title Fire Warrior, but the word is not in its favor. Relic has been very good to the licence with its Dawn Of War series and I greet the news of them doing an action-RPG about the Space Marines with fanboyish excitement. The trailer is really very good.

I am still left wanting for a modern strategy game take on the franchise – Dawn Of War is too wrapped in RTS tropes to really scratch that Total War itch I have. I’d settle for a turn-based version, I think.

I dream about getting to make a great Warhammer 40’000 videogame.

    Recently I finished Dawn of War II and gotta say I LOVE IT, and seeing the game going into action even gave me the heat to play it. The trailer looks kick ass, but hope the game play will be with unique ideas and actions.

    For the part of making the gaming goes more widely on strategy I wouldn’t agree a lot, specially it has its unique style, other games has the same typical style (thanks to Blizzard) they all do copy cat stuff. So keeping it in a unique style for me is better.
