Black Industries has just announced that there will be a Warhammer 40k RPG! What's better is the fact that it's actually three games rather than just one.
===Quoted from the Press Release===
Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy will be the first 40KRP game, allowing players to take on the role of an Inquisitor’s retinue. Their task is to uproot the taint of Chaos in Imperial society, to smash dark cults and foil sinister plots. It’s a game of investigation and will be an ideal introduction to the dark and gothic universe of the 41st Millennium. Dark Heresy is just the beginning, however. After this basic game, two further games released eighteen months apart will allow the players to progress and explore the universe first as Rogue Traders and alien pirates, and eventually experienced players will be able to roleplay the devastating warriors of the Adeptus Astartes Deathwatch.

I can't wait. :D As if setting suspected heretics on fire isn't good enough, you get to eventually play the 8-foot zealots of the Adeptus Astartes Deathwatch.

That should be interesting. GW came out with a pseudo-RPG miniature offshoot called Inquisitor. Unfortunately, that didn't click with the locals.
Sadly, I got suckered and bought an Artemis model. LOL!
Damn, this is going to rock so hard~
BTW, posted a link to some spoilers on the Exalted 2nd ed book in my blog. Thought you'd be interested!

I liked the Inquisitor figures! I felt they were pretty damn cool. :D
Needless to say when it shows up I'm definitely looking to get a copy. The new Warhammer Fantasy one was fantastic.

Wow... colored Yeddim goodness! Me likey!
I love how they finally have illustrations for the weapons, armor, and animals! Wheee!!!
The models are nice, true dat. And therein lies a new problem.
Inquisitor models are scaled larger than 40K obviously. And running an Inquisitor campaign would require a LOT of production terrain, which SHOULD be in scale with the model line.
After I bought the Artemis and the excitement subsided, I was like, "Ah sh*t, who the hell do I play with?" The price tag on Artemis alone would've gotten me a Blood Claw squad box back then LOL
