Man, I hope it delivers, and it's getting multiplayer aswell, I'm pretty excited. I personally have this sort of love-hate relationship with focus home, they always have great ideas, but most of the time it seems nothing more than OK, along with this they are also gonna release an RTS called Etherium and the sherlock holmes devs are working on a Call of Cthulhu game, I hope all 3 of these titles satisfy.

Holy crap i bought the starter set for that game like 15 years ago. Hate to be a pessimist but I'd be very surprised if the PC game turns out better.
When this was first announced I would agree agree with you I thought it was another cheap clone of the base game made for ios like Space Hulk. But after reading some articles the devs are taking the necessary steps to make a video game that can stand on its own. Its game play is very Valkyria Chronicles which is great since that game should have spawned a whole new genre but its just didn't despite it not having a single bad review. I can't believe it took this long for that game to finally inspire the creation of something similar and its Warhammer but I always thought a Valkyria Warhammer clone would be 40k since that game is only shooting.
Just an FYI, you should check out their facebook page oftenly, they showcase new units every week and answer alot of questions regarding the game, they have even started a poll on the official forums asking which warband would people like to see added in the future (so far witch hunters are winning). https://www.facebook.com/mordheimcityofthedamned They also share everything on twitter, if that's your preffered social media: https://twitter.com/Mordheim_COTD
