They better not. I used to work for GW, and I'm a background nazi. Everything better play as it should do, or I'll go insane.
EDIT : Since reading the interview, I'm feeling hopeful. The 'We can create new units' bit was a bit worrying (OMG TEH NUKCLUER TANKZ0R RUSH!!11oneone) but apart from that, promising.
Let's hope they keep the various units Army-Specific like they should be though. I don't want to see Leman Russ tanks rolling around in Marine armies.
Isn't the original WH played as a TTS? (Table-Top strategy)
In that case I'm gonna love it. I always liked their work, and I sure hope this game is good too <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
wait a sec... they invented a new chapter (with GW's approval)? Doesn't that mean they have to make up a new child of the emperor to be it's founder who probably died during the days of horus heresy? =/
I trust Relic to do something awesome with the amazing liscense they have been granted. They sure as heck didn't screw up either Homeworld, and Impossible Creatures was a great RTS.
Edit: And the space marines and their vehicles look like they scanned the models in or something; it's a perfect match.

There *BETTER* be the restrictions based on Chaos God followed. As soon as I see Thousand Sons marching with Noise Marines & Bezerkers, I'll go Postal on Relic.

Yes those screenshots are drool worthy. Realistic 3D Space Marines. I swear I could of been holding a Land Raider next to my monitor and not noticed the difference.
*gargle* *drool*
They mention teleportation as one of the methods a race use to build a base. That means the 4th race will either be Necrons, or possibly Eldar using webway portals.
I laughed at the pic with marines lying through the air from the explosion.
Anyway, theres bound to be expansion packs for new races <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

They made a new Chapter, not a new Legion.
20 Founding Legions, 9 stayed loyal, each of those were split into Chapters based on their size, of 1000 troops (roughly) each.
Edit: And the space marines and their vehicles look like they scanned the models in or something; it's a perfect match.
