Anyone read/heard/want to speculate on how long it will be approximately till the last of the big 3 promised games for the 40k universe is released, Space Marines? My players and myself are mostly interested in doing a Space Marines campaign and I am aware of the fan-made rules to do so but I am talking only specifically about the official game to do this.

When Fantasy Flight Games took over this line they promised to release 3 games representing the 40k universe. The first was Dark Heresy, covering the imperial inquisition. The second is the Rogue Trader game, focusing on private exploration/plundering/adventuring. The third promised game is one focused on Space Marines, focused on the military might of the imperial forces. But when can we expect this Space Marines game?

Some good questions, but I think they would be better posted in the DH and RT boards.

Yes, wrong board. Having said that, I promise you that they never promised.

I believe it was to be called Death Wing - of the three concepts, it's the least appealing - to me at least.

Actually, it´s name would be Deathwarch, after the Chamber Militant of Ordo Xenos, consisted of specialist kill-teams drawn from various chapters of Adeptus Astartes. I was also little bit sceptical about it, until I read story Headhunted by Steve Parker in Heroes of the Space Marines anthology. It shows, that Deathwatch could provide very intresting Chapter cross-interaction, not to mention possibility of Grey Knights, Red Hunters, Relictors, Exorcists, Dark Angels and other Inquisition-intresting chapters expansions.

When can we expect the SM RPG?

About the same time you stop spamming the same topic in every Warhammer/Warhammer40k RPG forum.

The reason for me posting this in each of the respective Warhammer games forums is to garner responses from fans of EACH DIFFERENT game and not just from one.

Now, back to the topic at hand.

Except that WFRP2 and WFRP3 have very little to do with the 40kRPG in any of its forms, save for a common design lineage. Fans of one are not necessarily fans of another, and those posting in a WFRP board will expect the discussion to be about WFRP.

In a WFRP forum as well? You've certainly thought ahead of time haven't you.

So you only want guesses from people who don't know, rather than answers from the people making it ?
