Creative Assembly + SEGA = NOPE!
Sure, the game will be good eventually, and I love the structure they're doing with different games having sets of races, and how you can play against races that you don't have if someone owns one of the other games, kinda like how Dawn of War did it, but don't fool yourself Talys. This is a Creative Assembly game. It will be crippled on arrival, and be full of so many bugs (and LIES!) that it just won't be worth the DVD its printed on when it first comes out. Then SEGA will get involved and put a nice bunch'a disc-locked DLC and pre-order bull gak to go with it.
Again, one day it will be good. Maybe 6-12 months after release, during a Steam sale, with all the DLC bundled in, but do not forget history.
Speaking as a company of heroes 2 veteran (veteran in the original sense, as in someone who was injured in the process), your hopes are far too high, HBMC. The game will be merely somwhat playably ballanced after one year. Any major content additions (new armies or even just single units added to the game) will absolutely reliably mess up said ballance for another 6 months minimum. Bugs, disconnects and crashes will be you friends and companions for at least two years and a flood of DLC that even at 75% discount is still too expensive is a given. Some of that pay-me-extra-DLC will be campaign units that were allready in the game at release. There will be no all-in-bundles. Sega is as much of a red flag as anyone can wish for.

I just saw that too. As soon as the guy introduced it I was thinking " huh, sounds cool." then a few moments passed and a lightbulb moment occurred and I switched to my school boy brain and got excited over my favourite thing being on TV.
It's so strange to see the Warhammer brand on TV and in mainstream media because of its personal nature and background.
Being featured at an Apple event may radically change this hobby forever.
It's known as "The Apple effect" and it's been proven time and time again. Those most commonly effected are musicians. A fair amount of artists who were completely unknown had their music featured on an Apple ad and suddenly their career rocketed into orbit. Starving artists, rags to riches... literally and all because of Apple.

I do love Titanfall myself, but I don't think the gameplay here looks too similar (other than having giant robots stomping around).
Oh, sorry about that. Yeah, this game looks cool and all, but I am an xbox gamer. Not tablet etc... and the whole mech/giant robot thing has been done better in other games (IMHO). So when I need my fix of big mechy robot battle, I will play Titanfall.

I dunno. Wouldn't there be some kind of jihad between the Apple cult and the GW cult?
Speaking of Warhammer video games, the new Warhammer: Vermintide is sweet.
I've been a huge total war fan since the original Rome, and was thoroughly saddened with their new business stance in Rome 2. Pre-order factions / pay gating factions, day 1 dlc and the whole 9 yards. It's ridiculous and I hope they will stop it and go back to their old method of Game + expansion ONLY before they release their Warhammer game.
I was interested until I saw it was mobile only and the transfer sheet cemented the idea in my mind that this is nothing but an attempt to sell more knights sadly.

Do you know how well Knights have sold?
Serious question. I see at least one or two get sold every week at my local GW.
