Definately interesting, wonder if it will be anything like the other Warhammer PC games. I know I had a blast playing Chaos Gate.

Well Chaos Gate was 3d and you could look at each level of terrain. Was a really good game.

I thought Firewarrior was FPS. That is what turned me away from it. I liked controling a squad of terminators and blowing crap up.
