Interesting. And its different from the Titan game announced a few days ago

Something i didn't see from the other 2 sites but should have occurred to me, with the THQ bankruptcy, GW is no longer constrained to one publisher and is handing out license's to different developers based on a case by case basis.

this related story presses the point of the new attitude at gw concerning video games, i like it and i think it makes it easier for a potential necromunda PC game

RPS: How did you end up doing Space Hulk? Did you go to Games Workshop or did they come to you?

Thomas Hentschel Lund: It’s a funny story, actually. At GDC last year, I was standing in a hotel lobby, warming myself at an open-pit fire they had there, and this older guy was standing right next to me doing the same. We were saying “nice cold weather here, blah blah blah” and he asked me what I did. So I said “yeah, I have this small indie studio, and we’re doing digital board games and trying to keep turn-based alive.” So he says “hey, I have over a thousand board games in my basement.” We kept chatting back and forth, and he asked what kind of games I would really like to do. I said “I want to do Space Hulk, it’s the game of my dreams.” Then he hands me his business card, and it was Ian Livingstone. So here I am pitching, without knowing, to one of the three founders of Games Workshop.
