So it seems according to this article, the rethemed Gorechosen, the rethemed LotR game, and the simplified Shadespire game are going to be limited release like we saw with Blitz Bowl at Barnes and Noble.
All three are pretty interesting titles. The rethemed LotR game "stormvault" is notable because it was already a B&N exclusive. I applaud the retheme though. The game is pretty solid and fun, but the fellowship of the ring theme made just about zero sense.
Despite having my own massively rethemed version of Gorechosen already, I'm pretty interested in all three titles.

I would bet they are handling ranged weapons using the example of Fexgor. Basically just an expanded range from what little I can see from the cards.
I wouldn't worry about it. It works fine. Some of the robotic Kaiju in my retheme had to use an expanded range to justify ranged weapons. I haven't had any complaints yet from those that played it.

Sort of what I was thinking, especially with the all-Imperium cast. Marines like to brawl, but I would have been more optimistic if the focus was on Chaos, Ork, Tyranid, and Eldar for a more shank happy approach. But given the GW approach to all heroes, Imperium or not, swords, pistols and power fists will be heavily featured. We will see how ranged combat plays into the system I guess.
I almost wonder how well the system could be implemented for battleship fights.

It's likely another missed opportunity since this takes place on a black fortress.
I'm more concerned by the lack of orks, tyranids, etc. This is just more imperium vs. chaos. And so far, it looks like imperium vs. imperium. Whoooo boy. Exciting.
Back in third ed, Dark Eldar we're known for their multiracial slave gladiator arenas. That idea took me 2 seconds to recall.
Gw had 2 years to come up with a way to reimagine the game into another setting. Missed opportunity seems to have struck again. For both a convincing reason to gather a bunch of cool stuff together to duke it out, and for GW to make money as they did during Silver Tower.
It'll probably still be pretty cool, as it is Gorechosen after all. But the point of the engine's flexibility has flown over their heads like a 747 yet again.

As for 40k, I agree with the sentiment above: xenos is a much, much preferable opponent than chaos.

Everybody always wants more Xenos, but then the Xenos games don’t sell. Black Fortress has Xenos- that awesome Kroot merc and the Aeldari ranger that makes the entire Craftworlds range look out of date.
I really like that they’ve been digging really deep in the lore lately into old Rogue Trader stuff. I’m getting that Dreaded Ambull next week. That seems like a shoe-in for this game too.

Dark eldar are equal opportunity enslavers of racial diversity.
There are easy ways to justify more races taking part without it being a "xenos game".
