Any movement on the d20 WH40K front?

[uv23]

I've recently picked up Inquisitor as well as some other WH40K material (white dwarves, index astartes, an inquisitor novel) and I have to say, I'm in love. I've never been so interested in a campaign setting since first reading dragonlance in my youth. I can honestly say that if a WH40K rpg was released, I'd likely play it and drop everything else for good. Inquisitor is labeled a "narrative wargame" but its still really just a wargame.

Anyways enough drolling and babbling. Is anything happening in this territory? And for that amtter, does anyone know where I might find a complete history of the 40k universe? I've got parts here and there but its all piecemeal.

Don't bet on it. WoTC and GW seem to be rather competitive.

WoTC has card games, GW has figure games.
Then...
WoTC (re)releases chainmail, GW releases a WH40K card game.
WoTC releases 3rd Ed for gaming with minuatures, GW releases Inquisitor for miniutures that you game with.

i'm into 40k big time, have you tried the gw oficial site
www.games-workshop.com(.au/.uk/.us)
they have most of what you are looking for.
Also there is alot of background in the 40k rule book.

There was a thread here somewhere in which a couple of different efforts to adapt 40k to D20 were mentioned...

I haven't looked recently, so I don't know if he's updated.
