I posted in a thread a whiule ago about the new 40k RPG and how it was so soon discontinued. Well good news is that it has been picked up along with all GW's old board and card games. See article below:
see the press release on table top gaming news:

Fantasy Flight Games and Games Workshop jointly announced today that they have reached an agreement for Fantasy Flight Games to become the exclusive publisher of board games, card games (including collectible card games), and roleplaying games based on Games Workshop’s family of renowned intellectual properties including Warhammer Fantasy Battles and Warhammer 40,000. Additionally, the deal will grant FFG the exclusive rights to publish new versions of the classic board and card games titles published by Games Workshop over the last 25 years.
Additionally, a second agreement between the parties will transfer the publication rights and system of the Universal Fighting System CCG, formerly published by Sabertooth Games, to FFG. “We are just so thrilled to partner with Games Workshop in such an encompassing deal,” said Christian T. Petersen, CEO and founder of FFG. “Not only will we be able to continue the publication of some phenomenal roleplaying, card, and board games currently on the market, but we look forward to creating new games for the popular GW universes.”
For those not in the know Fantasy Flight BGames are an excellent games developer having created descent, doom and soon to be starcraft miniatures games.
News is good indeed. Especially as this will mean fantasy RPG will now get a much needed boost!
