PROJEKT X?
Employer: Role: Description: Status: In negotiations, but if it happens this is probably the most exciting thing I've ever been involved in.

BFG
GW has shelved its plans to print a 2nd edition ruleset for Battlefleet Gothic, although I understand that it will still be available for download on the Fanatic site as pat of their living rulebook project maintained in the vaults. I am not engaged for any work on BFG at the current time and I don't know if that will change in the future.
