Either that or the lore will actually be woven in expertly enough so as to properly introduce newcomers to it. Which I hope it will, because I'd hate to be sucked into buying a nice fat reference book-thick rulebook. I already have two of them from the last two versions of 40K, and while I love the lore to death, the cost would hurt. They ain't cheap.

I hope some people will keep in mind that Warhammer Fantasy really did introduce some concepts IP-wise which were actually taken by others. For example I still hear people after the popular release of Dawn of War complain that it steals from Starcraft. If I have said it once, I have said it a thousand times: Starcraft stole from Warhammer 40,000.

Then again as a 40K lore-junky, it does please me to no end to envision a duel between a 40K Space Marine and a Starcraft Marine. Anyone who knows just a little about the lore and capabilities of both will snicker with me.

EDIT: Devout genetically-enhanced armored super soldier zealot with rapid-fire micro-rockets > Criminal in tin-plated armor with machinegun. Everytime.
