Good.
Also, have some variant on the title that only has "war" once. "Total Warhammer: Subtitle". Done.

If they are doing this, I hope it has a real story campaign. Not just a conquest mode.

Damn, this will be cool. Warhammer Quest's the other adaptation I can think of, but having a Total War spin on the setting? I'd try it.
Total Warhammer will probably get compared to Total Annihilation by those not in the know.

This has to be their end-game, surely

I love TW games, but I'm not really that interested in CA just doing updates on their older work, so this is fantastic news for me.
Total War and Warhammer Fantasy are made for each other. The two games flow similarly as far as movement and morale mechanics, and have similar unit sizes.
Warhammer 40k is almost a small scale tactical game, though you can throw hundreds of models on a table. There are Warhammer 40k spinoffs that would work in a Total War context, but it would be more Total War than Warhammer 40k.
I'm very excited for this, btw.

No way. There is no way such an amazing thing will ever come to pass.
Not surprising, but can't wait to see what it comes out to be.
Really want a 40K one some day.
Although the sheer scale and violence of 40k battles means we probably don't even have the hardware to render that magnitude of carnage.

It's a separate thing, or i'm reading this from a wrong perspection.

Could've sworn they did this once already.
Anyway, glad to see the fine folks at GW finally got their heads on straight in regards to video games. Looking forward to this

Great news! The Total War series was obviously inspired by the two classic Warhammer games (of course, I'm talking about the immaculate Shadow of the Horned Rat and Dark Omen), so it's great to see it come full circle. I have faith that this is going to be quite a bit better than Mark of Chaos.
You shut your mouth.

Yep. A Warhammer game almost feels like a loss of time before the game we are all waiting for ;p

Yeah, no. I couldn't care less for 40k.

I'm on board with this, though another 40k strategy game is what I really want.

Okay, that sounds freaking amazing. Will this be the first good Warhammer game since Shadow of the Horned Rat?

How far is this into development? The most I've seen is it being mentioned by job postings and what not. It'd be awesome to see something substantial shown this year.
