If you are referring to the PC game, then that was in place of legal action. Rather than sue the guys, they encouraged them to produce what GW could not.
It's a shame that they couldn't see their way to allowing this with Space Hulk (now having to be renamed to Alien Assault and also have the images etc changed). Although having said that, it probably had just as much to do with THQ having the rights to the WH40K universe when it comes to PC games etc.

And thus the reason for the round of S&D letters, to ensure the trademarks.
Anyhow, this was about what GW is doing to SG right now.
I was following this reasonably closely. FFG is handling GW boardgames however only those that don't include a large component of miniatures, at this stage anyway.....don't know whether that'll change in the future. So boardgames like Space Hulk, Warhammer Quest and Blood Bowl were to remain in GW complete control. I guess GW still wanted to capitalise on/maintain control of the sale of mini's.
