is it 40k? or warhammer? GW must be doing really well out of all these franchises, and its sometimes kind of amusing bashing all the noobs who claim its just wow ripoffs.

No, it's not a 40K title.

Here is the story:

The Story

Over a year has passed since the Great War, during which the brutal Chaos armies swept across the Empire lands. Many fierce battles still rage across the Old World.

Portions of the defeated Chaos armies have retreated to the distant Northern Wastes, while others have fallen to hostile groups. Among these tribes, new Champions rise up in an effort to reunite the Chaos forces, yet eventually all fail. None can match the power of their fallen leader, Asavar Kul.

The united Empire and High Elf forces hunt the Chaos hordes from the Empire territories, still alert because danger lurks around them in the form of smaller enemy warbands that loot the settlements of the border lands.

Now, four powerful armies – Empire, Chaos, Skaven and High Elves – along with other “dogs of war” including Orcs, Dwarfs, Vampires and Goblins, clash amidst breathtaking scenery in an epic battle for land and power.

Good to see Eureka 7 on the list, hope Bandai release it into the UK, although i think i may have a long wait as they haven't announced the UK Anime release yet.
