So just a few months or so from Fantasy Flight Games losing the license, Games Workshop have sold it to Ulisses North America who are already hard at work creating Wrath & Glory.
What we know so far:
- The Dark Imperium events of 40k 8th edition will form the central backdrop of this game
- This system will use d6 dice pools instead of FFG's d100 rolls
- They have hired Ross watson, lead developer of FFG's Rogue Trader and Deathwatch
- The core rulebook will be released next year with future expansions planned

Looks like it could be fun, but there's not really enough information yet to say for sure. Still, who's up for a forum RP when they release it?
