Well if they do this right it will be superb..and something I've banged on for awhile. The tabletop games are ripe for sensitive PC conversion..making sure what the tabletop players love is in game..like Marine customisation and army painting. As well as turn or wego and tactical. I really hope this isn't a missed opportunity and what we get is some mobile based game or rts. The market out there is massive..and is a source that really hasn't been tapped into by PC games.

Please I implore you make the most of it and produce something that is tactical..replayable..customisable..and looks great and lots of depth.

I want as many games as possible to get on the iPad regardless of you can't afford one are not. So you see it's you wodin that always tries and gets a rise out of someone. When you say I don't want to see this on the iPad simply because you think it's a bad idea I will fight you every single time.

I've no issue sit coming out on mobiles..aslong as the PC version actually uses the extra PC horsepower.Also as long as it isn't Ipad exclusive.

Oh and I'm not the only one who feels this way..so don't just pull me about it please. You've already tried to quote me to look bad over something I never even said today. Oh did VonRocko try and get a rise out of you aswell..give me a break. Go check your threads on richard 3 and a fair few others over the last month..then check mine and see who says is the one trying to get a rise out of people.

We play Warhammer Fantasy, 40K, Board Games of all kinds (Avalon Hill etc). Our membership consists of school kids to senior police officers, IT Professionals trades people, academics and the Great Unwashed (thats me )

None of us are GrogSnobs and play simple to understand games up to mind numbingly sploddy head games with lots of paperwork.

I am exited about this and will be passing on the good news to the members, who will no doubt pass the news on to others.

We have just started looking at Flames of War it looks to be great fun.

As for Ipads it;s the price I hate

Cheers

Jev

They still use their pc's but I think their tablets get more play time now. Probably due to time constraints and convenience. It's sad but I think the decline of the PC will continue....

With splash top I can acces my laptop thru my iPad anytime. I do enjoy playing civ 4 and diablo 2 on my iPad. With iCloud I do find I am using my laptop less and less.

There's also that Space Hulk gaming coming out that looks really good as well. There are so many negative nancies around here it seems , but turn-based gaming is going through a bit of a revival if you ask me, and that's always a good thing.

That Pandora game looks interesting as well.

Status: offline 		A turn based WH40K sounds fine to me and if Slitherine and Matrix put it out I will probably get it. However, the DoW series was one of the best RTS series out there. I'd like to continue to see expansions of it. I just don't think Matrix and Slitherine have the resources to really do justice to a DoW RTS. So my hope is that bigger developers will continue to have access to the license.

The 40k license is no longer exclusive to just one company. What we do with it does not preclude a future continuation in the form of RTS games as well.

Well that actually sounds like an improvement, then, compared to the old state of affairs, if I'm not mistaken. Maybe we will see more diverse applications of the Warhammer world in gaming. Kudos to Matrix and Slitherine.

Actually I'm not a 40k Warhammer fan unless they are going to do some Dark Omen stuff and use graphics like in Tin Soldiers series for the units and of course it's turn based.

Dark Omen is RTS though. Still good game.

Yeah I really didn't like that about Dark Omen that's why I said "and it's turn based." It's one of the main reasons I don't like Warhammer as I got the complete series on Steam for like $9.99 and they all sucks. Wasted $10 but thank god I didn't buy a full retail priced one.

The one they sold on Steam during Christmas this last season the whole modern day Warhammer series as far as I know. I didn't see a turn based in the lot.

The series list was as follows:

1. Dawn of War II
2. Dawn of War II:Retribution
3. Dawn of War Game of the Year edition
4. Dawn of War II: Chaos Rising
5. Dawn of War Dark Crusade
6. Dawn of War Soulstorm
7. Dawn of War Winter Assault
