I didn't spot a link to this, so posting one here:

Fantasy Flight Games is proud to announce Black Crusade, the fourth standalone RPG in our popular Warhammer 40,000 Roleplay line! This remarkable experience offers players a new perspective on the conflict between the Imperium of Man and the forces of Chaos by delivering the unprecedented opportunity to play as a Disciple of the Dark Gods, whether as a Chaos Space Marine or a human Servant of Chaos.

I for one, am pretty keen to see what FFG do with the forces of darkness. They're a massive part of the setting. And let's face it, playing the "bad guys" can be a lot of fun, whether played straight or for laughs.

*points to the Black Crusade forum that FFG have put up*

I really wish there was a central "40k RPG" forum. Subforums for each game are certainly a must, but there are plenty of topic crossover and I hate having to look at 4 forums to keep up to date.

MILLANDSON: I found it after making this thread. I've bookmarked the individual 40krpg pages and almost never enter through the FFG front page, hence I missed the original annoucement.

deinol: Even keeping an eye on the existing forums won't necessarily catch all of the 40k related news. A unified forum would be one way of handling it!

They even have a sneaky Necron hiding at hte bottom of the page.

At last, they rise from there tombs! Muhahahahaha!

Well, it was nice having life-bearing worlds...

I'm mainly excited for Black Crusade because as of right now (if i'm not mistaken) once a character hits 100 corruption he is removed from play. But this does not specify how. I can see an amazing campaign taking characters through highly corrupting situations, and should one hit 100...well once Black Crusade comes out, he might just be making an appearance once again.
