I've just been told that the project has been canned. WO will not appear as a finished product.
You heard it here first.
I was looking forward to that aswell, read some articles and expose about the creators. looked very very good :(
is that what they used on that bbc2 program battle commanders (or what ever they called it)
no rover, thats the "total war" series of games
lol Games Workshop games normally "look" good but then you play them...
Dawn of War has to be the only one i actually enjoyed.
Firewarrior was just ****, oh yea 20 boltgun rounds to the face of an imperial guardsman and he is still running around... either his 6+ armor save dice is loaded or something sucks...
It's... alive! Run! Before the zombie thread devours your brains! Ruuuuun!
Ahem.
Anyway, Warhammer Online is being done by Mythic (http://www.mythicentertainment.com/warhammer/) (Dark Ages of Camelot) people now - it's just the intellectual property though, they're developing an entirely different game.

agreed, but WO actually did look good when climax entertainment were building it (yes that is a real software house) i was party to the odd screenshot as my brother was working on the AI for the game at the time.
i also know that climax fell of their chairs when they saw firewarrior - i'm not saying the team that made firewarrior sucked, but they were the suckiest bunch of sucks that ever sucked.
what killed WO at climax was a healthy mixture of politics and mismanagement. unfortunately games workshop continually meddled with the project in an unconstructive way. Relic/THQ resisted such meddling with DoW which is why it a) got finished and b) was/is actually quite good!
theirs an expansion out for DoW in the next couple of months. Lets u play the imperial guard and the story line is fighting over a lost Warlord Titan (hmm sounds familiar...) but still... should be good.
