I want something new. Playing 18 different flavors of marines is not what I would say is new or interesting. I have Deathwatch and it is one of the greatest rpg's of all time. That and only war is really good.
Edit
DoW 3 lol. That game is so bland.
To be honest, an Horus Heresy RPG could be cool IF it's done like black crusade: meaning you get to combine both regular humans and astarttes, maybe even play as a xenos race extinct since millenia.

No, don't throw in fething aliens, that's not how it works.
One element from Black Crusade that would work well for a Horus Heresy RPG would be conflicting agendas, not knowing where the loyalties of others lie, or even being unsure where you are at yourself, be it Terra or Horus as your master. Ideally it would work best with people who know little to nothing of the heresy itself.
That said, a reboot of the 40KRPG is fine by me, it just depends on what they're tackling this time around. Maybe they'll skip the Inquisition and go straight for Space Marines this time around.

Dakka does have White Knights and is also rather infamous for it's Black Knights. A new edition brings out the passionate and not all of them are good at expressing themselves in written form. There have been plenty of hysterical responses from both sides so far. So we descend into pointless bickering with neither side listening to each other. So posting here becomes more masturbation than conversation.

As for system, I'd be surprised if Cubicle 7 didn't do their own system. T.S. Luikart is one of their designers, and he was involved in the old Black Industries days. I'm sure he has opinions on the subject.
Personally I just buy RPG books for the background material, so they could copypasta GURPS for all I care, so long as it provides more proper WHF(ie, not AoS) fluff.

I never played the FFG one so I don't know much about it.
Did FFG flesh out the world that exists outside of the endless war?
The games interlinked. If you wanted to play A, B, or C, they related. You never played the FFG one, so hold what you have, go to your local store and check a book out, then make an predetermined decision.
Oh, yes? I didn't know that! I'll see what offers the Rogue Trader RPG.
ORK's too. You can play any of them, as a matter of fact. That's what was great about the books, then the ongoing fluff... Each book added more to the game, and the evolution of it was amazing.

At Games Workshop, we believe that how you behave does matter. We believe this so strongly that we have written it down in the Games Workshop Book. There is a section in the book where we talk about the values we expect all staff to demonstrate in their working lives. These values are Lawyers, Guns and Money.

It's Cubicle 7, but yeah this was on EN World awhile ago:
Official INFINITY Tabletop Roleplaying Game Coming!
Through the Breach is a tabletop roleplaying game set in the world of Malifaux.
Both of those RPGs, while they allow the use of miniatures and describe ways to do it and have some official miniatures, are designed as pen and paper experiences rather than miniatures experiences.

Let's just say that a lot of Tau fans were very unhappy about some shades of grey that FFG added to that race, and leave it at that.
Most likely FFG owns the actual work they created, and GW owns the WHF and 40K properties themselves.
But how much of the game setting (i.e. the specific sector) did FFG create? Remember that GW first published the original Dark Heresy rulebook, not FFG. It was turned over to FFG shortly afterwards. Does anyone know who exactly came up with the background to the sector that made up the designated setting for Dark Heresy?

Yeap it's a digital supplement on how to play I suspect they were working on a full supplement book but it was right around the time they got Star Wars and started closing down support on the 40k line. Even had Riptide as an armor you can wear if your GM is awesome enough to somehow let an ordinary Firewarrior get a hold of one lol. Given the crafty nature of adventurer's and the fact that when I played a Rogue Trader game I had master crafted artificer blessed power armor the best in the game and am a Rogue Trader running around with better gear than the Inquisition you can probably do it.

As far as I am aware it was a full supplement. It was the main rules section for The Twilight Crusade, in the same way that The Soul Reaver had a full second section for playing DW characters. This one just had the Tau section.

They had both for a number of years. Their 40kRPGs were fully supported right up until around Imperial Assault and Armada were announced. They were definitely still working on 40kRPGs when X-Wing was blazing through the community.

A new edition of Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay will be launched by Cubicle 7 Entertainment later this year. The new edition will return players to Warhammer's grim world of perilous adventure, and takes its direction from the first and second editions of the game.
Cubicle 7 CEO Dominic McDowall said, "Like so many gamers I grew up on Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay. It's an iconic setting and I'm thrilled to be working on this new edition of the game. Our team have a huge breadth of experience with Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, and I’m excited to be able to bring the Cubicle 7 approach to the Old World. We’ll be revealing more of our plans in the coming months, so subscribe to our newsletter and keep an eye on our website!”

It really wasn't confirmed by Cubicle 7. Grim and Perilious talked about it but we had no real confirmation on the company's side.
In the C7 FB post, several people have asked if this would be Old World or AoS. C7 has been saying it will be Old World, but to stay tuned for at what point it in the Old World.

Subject: Blazing news for Warhammerfest. NEW EDITION OF WHRP CONFIRMED! (And more to come!)
As I said last time this topic came up, I would have preferred AOSrpg. It's not that I don't like the Old World, but frankly, If I want to play in the Old World I already have all the setting material I'll ever need. Meanwhile AOS setting is new and unexplored, and I'd like to have RPG style detailed sourcebooks on it.
Lord Kragon pointed out the hint of AoS getting something too, my guess is GW will be making the rpg themselves. Maybe Hammerhal was just them flexing their muscles?
But yeah, the unexplored potential of AoS' setting for a rpg would be amazing to see realized.
but I will 100% be getting everything they make for this RPG,
Well, I mean, I will if their system is any good, of course!
The enthusiasm backstep of this made my day.

It is only a matter of time before someone pumps out an AoSRPG, so in the meantime, us Old Worlders will enjoy this Old World setting!
Who is to say C7 won't do a AoS style campaign?
Players start off in the OW and play through into the AoS.
Then, C7 releases a supplement setting for AoS.

Dude, that is an awesome idea.
You have the OWRPG, an End Times expansion, and then an AoSRPG.
I'm not a big fan of AoS as I think GW sold their souls and sold out Warhammer's legacy so they could slap a ™ after everything, but even I'd be interested in that.

the Mortal Realms offer just as much scope for adventuring as the Warhammer World did, but I'm not sure I'd want to go from one to the other in a single campaign.
You can do the traditional gritty low fantasy "I've cast a spell and now I've grown a tentacle and gone mad" type of WFRP game if you like, or do some crazy realm-hopping thing with heroes sailing their skyship between floating mountains and lakes of fire, or anything in between.
