Wargamer has a preview up of WH40k: http://www.wargamer.com/article/3731/pc ... don-awaits
I would've liked a little more meat to the article, but he does mention that the game was stable, which is nice.

This preview is just a generic minimal description of the most basic features of the PanzerCorps engine...it says exactly nothing. [>:]

The gameplay trailer will include the gameplay. Coming soon!

We had to get the final impact explosions in to record that and we only integrated them a couple of days ago

End not everybody does know PzC or hexbased turnbased wargames, so in this regard I think it is an informative article, if you are a WH 40K fan and you liked PzC... well than this is a no-brainer.

Many aspects are different and changed, a lot of new game features introduced, in fact it is a whole new game engine underneath compared to good old PzC, but whatever I say: Grognards will keep on grumbling, so I let the game speak for itself... we worked on this with love and zeal the last two years and I hope it will show.

I think this is going to be one the biggest hits published by Matrix/Slitherine yet (kudos to the developers as well, of course). Warhammer 40k is massively popular, and the Panzer Corps system is something that pretty much anyone, wargamer or not, can enjoy. If you go to places like Reddit, people are starving for a good 40K game following the avalanche of micro-transaction shovelware that has come out recently. I think this one is going to hit the top of the charts on Steam and the iOS store.
