Total War: Warhammer

So, I don't know if this is common knowledge around here yet, or if anyone cares, but the Creative Assembly has finally officially announced it.

Personally, I've never really looked into the Warhammer stuff, and I only have a mild curiosity in Warhammer 40k, but I've been a fan of the Total War series since Rome: Total War, and I've been curious as to what a fantasy-based Total War game would be like, so they it has my attention for the moment.

Thoughts?

Apparently there's going to be a trilogy.

The first in an epic trilogy of titles, Total War: WARHAMMER will deliver hundreds of hours of absorbing gameplay. It will combine with two further standalone instalments and additional content packs to create the single largest Total War experience ever.

Flying units confirmed

This should get more people interested in warhammer.

Which is all part of Mr P's plan.

Well, CA is based in England, so not the most unlikely conspiracy theory I've heard.

Also, when they say Standalone installments....can a man wish for 40K as well? Or is that asking too much?

Space Hulk: Deathwing will be a FPS, if that's what you're talking about.

I'm not sure if CA is really interested in doing anything to do with space, and I'm not sure how a Total War game would function as a 40k game, considering the scope of the universe. I'd see something like Endless Space being a better model for a 40k strategy game.

They're making a 40K Strategy game on the Wii U either that or it's a PC Port

If you're talking about Space Hulk, then yeah, it's a PC port.

All I ask for is something along the lines of the original Dawn of War, but on a larger scale and with unit updates ect ect.

That's what WarHammer does best, strategy, a huge army of Space Marines, include Tyranids! and hell give us the Titans, Warhammer never appealed to me in an RPG/FPS/3PS because it usually focused on a few units/characters ect. That's not what Warhammer is about.
