If you're a fan of tabletop war games, you're probably hotly anticipating Cyanide's video game adaptation of Games Workshop's classic fantasy-football mash-up, Blood Bowl. You are also probably pretty old, and have a large, curly beard. Likely a gray or white beard, due to the aforementioned elderliness.
We've got great news for these senescent war game enthusiasts -- in a recent interview with Eurogamer, Cyanide's Antoine Villepreux explained the developer would be glad to tend to Games Workshop's "forgotten IPs that we think deserve video game adaptations." If the words Inquisitor and Mighty Empires bring haste to your old, old heart, a table-to-TV adaptation of your favorite Games Workshop franchises might be within the realm of possibilities.

Adeptus titanicus + Epic wh40k please!
Oh, and WHFRP. (warhammer city in particular)
Oh, and a sequel to Space Hulk - Vengeance of the blood angels would be nice.
What was that space combat game they had? Gothic? that might work well too.
Then of course there was Battlecars and Chainsaw warrior... and Runequest, and Talisman... but i don't know how many of those they have the right so.
Stormbringer was a brutal RPG...

Inquisitor is fairly recent, and supplanted by Dark Heresy.
Mighty Empires was kinda, well, crap.
If they made Necromunda, Mordheim, or Man o' War, then we could talk.
At the very least mass playtesting of Mordheim by people with no reason to "play in the spirit of the game" would force SOMEONE to fix the armor rules.

As cool as it would be for a specialist game to be made into a video game, GamesWorkshop would still keep them dead. They are just as greedy as Gamestop.

Space Hulk and Necromunda!!!! Seriously, an XBLA/PSN head to head competitive version of Space Hulk would be great.

None of the customers at my town's Games Workshop were particularly old, we did have some strange ones though. One guy dressed like Van Helsing all the time, while the manager for some reason had the strangest condition or something that gave him two rows of front teeth, like a shark or something.

GW manager with two rows of teeth? The company is from the U.K.....(or maybe it's infectious)
