You’ll also find a whole world of other products featuring Games Workshop’s brands including Warhammer 40,000, Warhammer Age of Sigmar and Blood Bowl. A fantastic array of these Licensed Products will be found in the main Jaguar Hall this year.

No matter your preference, there’s sure to be something to interest you in the Licensing pavilion.

– Try out over a dozen new and unreleased video games on PC, console and mobile platforms, including the new Dawn of War III PC game.





– Step right into the Old World with Vermintide VR, and see if you measure up to join Saltspire and his team.



– Meet the artists behind Titan Comics’ Warhammer 40,000 and Blood Bowl Comics.



– See the prototype for a two foot tall Deathwing statue.

– Discover the future of Games Workshop related table-top roleplay games.

We need coverage of warhammer fest on multiple fronts!

EDIT:
Confirmed new edition of WHFB RP. WIll be showcased at warhammer fest.

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.

Even witch hunters can't stop playing EVE: Valkyrie

That rpg bit is fascinating.

Interesting choice of words too.

"Table-top roleplay games."

Hmm...

Presumably as opposed to computer/console RPGs.....

interesting if that licence is being talked about again (please don't be an MMO if it is this time so there's at least a chance of a release)

Hmm...

It's mostly to make a distinction with the computer. Which makes me think. IF they feel like making that distinction, does it mean that one of the new games is going to be an RPG? I'd be very onboard with it.

Remember that Dark Heresy started out as a GW release. It wasn't until after the initial batch of products were out that everything got reissued with the FFG logo.

I'd heard that Cubicle 9 had picked up the rights for the Warhammer Fantasy RPG, would be nice if they were also doing a 40k RPG. Their "The One Ring" RPG is one of the nicest sets of books I own.

I've said in the past, I'd be happy if GW's plans for the RPGs at this time was just reprints. Keeps the game alive and out there.

Ugh if there is a HH rpg before a generic play anything you want 40k rpg I will gak post for days man. People will be annoyed.

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.

HH is superior.

DoW3 is trash.

If memory serves right I think that was misinformation spread up by Zweihandler, whom were the main distributors of this info. I'm not sure why though.

As someone probably best placed to have an inkling, did the terms of FFG's license allow that?

If my knowledge isn't off, I think it's common that anything created under license ultimately belongs, IP wise, to whomever issued the license, rather than the licensee?

It's Cubicle 7, but yeah this was on EN World awhile ago:

Yeah, you just confirmed my hunch. It's all Zweihandler's fault and misinformation.

Is that just Fantasy, or the 40k games

? What are you talking about?

I was just talking to my RPG group about how the hype train for a new 40K has made me wish they'd give us a new RPG with a system that didn't eventually start feeling like a punishment to play. I'll be keeping an interested ear out on this.

 Kid_Kyoto wrote:

Just fantasy from the look of it, folk on the cubicle 7 form reported the publisher on the WFRP stuff on drive through RPG changed from FFG to cubicle 7(only 2nd ed stuff?),

but none of the 40K RPG stuff changed so they probably don't have that licence

Not exactly. It depends on what the contract says. A smart IP owner will make sure that this sort of thing is explicitly hammered out in the contract, with as little room for loopholes as possible. Otherwise, you could accidentally end up with a situation like Angela in the comic book Spawn.

 Kid_Kyoto wrote:

All that I saw announced was fantasy. Logical progression would be to go to 40K if fantasy does well. We'll see what happens.

Most likely FFG owns the actual work they created, and GW owns the WHF and 40K properties themselves. So GW can't just reprint the books FFG made, but neither can FFG because they don't have the rights to the trademarks or the integral material GW already has under copyright.

It will be interesting to see if they license it out again to a third party, and what form that takes. Another Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay would be nice, but will they instead try to come up with an RPG in the AoS setting - which would certainly help in understanding what the setting actually is.

If someone licences a product from GW and makes a game that you're personally not interested in you're going to gak up the thread to annoy other people here out of spite?

Yeah, don't do that.

It will be nice to get some solid information on Warhammer and W40K licensing "from the horse's mouth."

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.
