[edit] Image:Warhammer40kPromo.JPG
Per discussion at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion/2007 July 16#Image:Warhammer40kPromo.JPG, this image is to be replaced by an image of the box cover when the game is released. Please be sure to take care of it at that time. Once replaced, Image:Warhammer40kPromo.JPG should be tagged with {{subst:orfud}} so that it can be deleted. howcheng {chat} 17:15, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Cancellation?
Could someone please verify whether or not Dark Heresy has been canceled? I've looked on Black Industries website and nothing seems to be there about a cancellation or the publishing house closing. A reference to such a press release would be ideal... Raveled (talk) 12:54, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
- It's announced on the website, and on the official BI forum. Only the releases noted as "forthcoming" (upto September this year) will be released as printed books. It's hoped that BI might be kept as a working division to at least release the remaining sourcebooks for download, but last I looked (a couple of days ago) there was no confirmation on that either way.
- As for references, nothing that would pass WP:Cite, because GW has a habit of not mentioning bad news, and I have no access to RPG mags. Darkson (Yabba Dabba Doo!) 17:58, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

- No, it's being transferred to Fantasy Flight Games. Canterbury Tail talk 00:01, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

- Yeah, though to be fair no one ever said the line had been cancelled, just that BI wouldn't be releasing any more for it after the next few books. It was obvious someone would try and pick it up, it was just a case of who would GW be willing to license it to. Canterbury Tail talk 14:01, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] RPG info ??
I know this is a radical [heretical ??] idea and all, but can someone actually write something about the game - beyond it's done by BI, and it's now cancelled ??
As is, the article is almost pointless
193.243.227.1 (talk) 16:53, 18 February 2008 (UTC) Yes it is dead for now, GW is loosing money on the lor stuff and so they are cutting other things, to make up for it, Agian GW does nto look at their customer base and give them what they want,

- It's not been cancelled, it's being transferred to Fantasy Flight Games, along with WFRP. Canterbury Tail talk 00:01, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
- Though for the weeks between BI dropping the game and FFG picking it up again the game was for all practical purposes cancelled, at least in the eye of the public. CapnZapp (talk) 12:04, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
- As requested, I have expanded the article to include more about how the game actually plays. I have added a short section on the basic premise of the game (acolytes working for an inquisitor), a brieft overview of the mechanics of how actions are resolved including a list of characteristics and a brief overview of how the career path system works. I didn't go into too much detail of the backstory as the 40k fluff is available on other pages.
