An Early Look At Warhammer 40k Online *Update - Fake*

[Warp]

UPDATE:

Apparently these pictures where fakes. Someone stole them from the original artist and posted them as concept art. Sorry for the disappointing news. Next time I will try to verify any "official" updates, news, art more carefully. Thank you.



original post:

Kotaku has just posted 10 pieces of concept art from Warhammer 40k Online. They are from the early stages of development but look amazing. Based on the photos it looks like we will have air/space craft, land based vehicles, and mechs. Hopefully all will be player controlled but we will have to wait to find out for sure. Here is a link to the article on Kotaku:

I just want to clarify a few things since this is all out there.

None of these images are concept art. None of these images were released by THQ or GW. They are not screenshots or any kind of in game-engine imagery. They are model renders from an artist's portfolio. These images were stolen/leaked and irresponsibly published on a public forum (Kotaku) without any knowledge or consent from THQ/Vigil or Games Workshop. They in no way reflect the MMO stylistically or content wise. Some of the images are personal work of the artist and were not done in connection with THQ or any of their Warhammer 40K licensed properties and should only be considered in the context of an artists personal work and subsequently should not have been published and misrepresented as anything else.

But I'm sure Luke Plunkett and Kotaku couldn't care less about context or the implications for the artist resulting from the publishing of this material.

So I see... Thanks for letting us know... I guess its back to waiting for the real thing once again.
