I imagine you're making everything as precise as possible to the actual roleplaying game.Not sure what actual roleplaying game Massively is referring to: Warhammer 40,000 is a tabletop wargame, not an RPG.
Mark: We're absolutely doing our best. Our character and vehicle modelers, everything they work on they get the miniature to use as their model. In fact, it's a great IP to be working on since Games Workshop has done so much ground work aleady. I mean, I'm a World Designer, so what I do is focus on filling in some of the blanks that haven't been a focus of 40k up to this point. We've got so much detail and specifications to go off of. I think fans of the IP will find that the models generally look very authentic.
I know it's two different worlds and two different companies involved, but is there any connection at all with Warhammer Online?
Mark: None whatsoever. Warhammer Online is EA Mythic, it's two different IPs. A lot of our guys are long-time 40k fans, tabletop players, fans galore, so they've got a very heavy investment in Warhammer 40k.
