Relic

Relic is an upcoming game from Fantasy Flight Games based upon the Talisman game mechanics but set in the grim darkness of the Warhammer 40k universe.

Because Games Workshop are a bunch of dicks always looking out for the interests of 40K players, the 28mm scale miniatures which represent the Player Characters and come as standard with FFG's Talisman game have been replaced by (admittedly nicely detailed) statue-like busts. Obviously this has been done to protect the integrity of GW's core product from the inevitable destruction which would be unleashed by players adding one or two models from the game into their 40K armies, and not at all because GW's all consuming corporate greed is so immense that the idea of 40K players saving a few measly dollars and adding variety to their armies by using said models makes their blood boil. Just As Planned.

After a development cycle of what FEELS LIKE FOREVER, release date has been announced as "fourth quarter 2012" real soon, HONEST!

FFG are now encouraging eager gamers to pre-order the game at their friendly local gaming store, so the time of reckoning must surely be drawing near.
