Didn't GW just kill off specialist games and Necromunda along with it?GW is about to enter the skirmish scene with the release of
Warhammer 40k: Inquisition
Inquisition is designed for 2-4 players and each side will use custom cards and dice. Army sizes consist of about 5-10 models per side. A whole new set of models drawn from Blanche artwork will accompany. The game should be flexible as you can make and design your own Inquisitorial retinue. As for rules complexity that is anyone's guess, but the general marketing goal for Inquisition is a gateway game into the greater Warhammer 40k universe.
Beyond that GW, seems to be taking cues from Kickstarter projects like Sedition Wars and home-brewed rules like Inq28 for Inquisitor. This also might not end up as a limited edition run, but that all depends on sales, and if any support is continued will be done through digital expansions and updates.
Coming soon - A 40K Skirmish Game???

Will believe it when I see it......BUT I WANTS TO BELIEVE!!!
If they make it so you can use anything from any race in it
AND
If they have an alternating phase/activation system (like B.A or FUBAR)
AND
If it is fluffy as fluff.................
You may very possibly see Spevna take a brief hiatus form his stance.

Hum. Like Spev, you can color me cynical. Seems just a teensy wee bit too good to be true. And I will eat my shoes if it has xenos support in it. Imperial aaaaaaall the way to the bank, methinks.
