From the press release and the information thus far available, it looks like it spans the whole of the power levels thus far released: Dark Heresy to Deathwatch.

Looks great!

Meaning, will it be a bunch of reprinted material from Disciples of the Dark God's, The Radical's Handbook and various entries from Rogue Trader and Deathwatch?

We can assume at least 50-60 pages will be "rule" "repeats" and probably 50-80 pages of character classes, origins, skills and talents.



Oh ye of little faith.

I have a feeling that we're in for a significantly different game...

BYE

The views expressed in the above post are my own viewsunless stated otherwise I do not, in any way, shapeform, speak foron the behalf of Fantasy Flight Games.

Writing Credits so far: The Lathe Worlds, The Lathe Worlds - The Lost Dataslate, Only War, Hammer of the Emperor, Tome of Blood, Tome of Fate, Tome of Excess, Church of the Damned. 


There are no female Space Marines. Don't believe me?

Gender & Appearance
Due to the special nature of the zygotes that make up a Space Marine's geneseed, all Space Marines are male.
- Deathwatch, Core Rulebook, Page 28.

So enough with the Female Marine threads…

I almost guarantee it will go beyond Deathwatch, since even Deathwatch talks about a higher tier.  I predict to at least Rank 20.  If only because that's nice and round.

I can't go into any detail - NDAs and all that - but I can assure you that I wouldn't have spent a significant amount of time and effort on this book if the intent was just to cobble it together from scraps and reprints.

Though I may be considered a biased source, I feel that the work I did on Black Crusade is some of my best, that the team that wrote this book is in my opinion the best writing team that FFG have assembled for a 40kRP book yet, and that the material produced is top-notch. I am extremely proud to have worked on it.

 

 

Perhaps you could give us all an idea of how and why this game came to be made? It seems very soon after the release of DW, which along with RT is still very undersupported imo. As it is, new sourcebooks come out pretty infrequently already compared to the busy release schedules of campanies such as Paizo. Yet we are now looking at another 'standalone' core book, and for a game no one was expecting ... or as far as I can see calling for ... why?

                       I totally agree, really just make ONE 40k CORE BOOK that cost 60 hell add some pages make it 70 bucks, but then stop making us buy the same 30 skills and talents over again just give us exspansion books in the 25-30$ range.  This would give you all an opertunity to fine tune what you already have and still allow for exspanse. If you do that I will continue to buy the books(so far I have 90% of them), if not my support ends with RoB.

Except it's been repeatedly stated by FFG that they aren't doing any new versions, which would suggest they can't go back and change DH/RT/DW now. If you don't like it, you are well within your rights not to buy anything more, but due to the horrific restrictions GW places most companies that use it's IP under, don't expect FFG to change their business model, whether they want to change it or not.

Well as i have always been quite happy with Peacekeepers work his own and FFG this lays a large portion of my worries to rest.

Thx mate
