well i would say i have a vested interest inthis particular game but have GCSE coursework over the hill so i must make this short, WH 40K was never IMO gonna be better than fantasy, though i agree that the 3rd edition rules sucked, i haven't played this yet and it looks good but I think to be honest most warhammer pc games suck... though i haven't played them all. the reason is say a game costs 30 quid, in a games store, they make a small profit by selling it to me. However they make a far larger profit if they sell me 2 tactical squads of plastic models 30 quid as well iirc, so after blowing about 150 quid in second hand shops to acquire my army i've given up on GW, it's too expensive. they make a lot more money selling models than they ever will selling computer games.
