There is some new content available for peoples viewing on the Total War Youtube channel. A short video highlighting the Demigryph unit and an in-engine trailer highlighting Karl Franz, as well as showing off some other unit types like trolls, giants, hellblaster cannons and a mage.
The next release of video content is planned for the 30th of July. I believe it will consist of the video they showed at E3;  a scripted battle sequence showing units fighting each other.

There is some more information available on the forums as well. A brief biography of Karl Franz as well as various other bits and pieces of information scattered about. There is also a useful topic explaining the differences between in-engine, in-game and vinematic trailers as it stands for Creative Assembly.

I know they say that the Total War engine is the perfect engine for Warhammer, but for 40k my vote would be Eugen Systems Wargame engine. That would be epic 

[umiman]

Mrm....

I dunno about that. I love the IRISZOOM engine but I've never seen it do any sort of complex animations... especially human-related. It's just really good for vehicle based wargames like Wargame, Ruse, and Act of Aggression.

With Warhammer it's all about the massive-close-up infantry carnage. I highly doubt IRISZOOM can do that. I haven't even seen it do blood before.

Its gonna have to be a new engine cause 40k broughts alot of Dakka and Total War Engine would be lame for projectiles.

By projectiles, you do mean magical orbital bombardment comets and controlled tears in the fabric of reality, right? Because they've done cannons and stuff already. Worked fine.

I'm pretty sure they're leaving the Space Marines at home for this one though. Probably. Hopefully. WHFB is in a pretty messed up state right now though, so anything's possible. As long as it earns GW money, anything could show up, lore-be-damned. They can just write a short story about it afterwards and it'll be fine.......

not even close to enough dakka. I want my screen covered with bullet tracers.

From your posts it seems you think this is a 40k game. It's fantasy battles, there is no dakka.

Im still carrying on the conversation above me that was about 40k

[sambojin]

There is dakka, but not enough. And it's in a rather sad state of affairs where only 'umies and stunties realize that strapping more guns together makes stuff better.

Heh, Strapped together guns.

They are just stuck with such small thinking, Ogre's realize that rather then strapping guns, you just go Bigger.

And Ogre Hellblaster cannon would be a beautiful thing, wouldn't it?

[sambojin]

Orcses don't have to compensate for anything.

At least with WHFB lore they've got plenty of places they can go to, to keep the hype. Xcom's boobsnakes probably aren't going to be able to keep up with anything Slaneeshi or DE.

Grimdark thought for the day: There are Chaos Ogres.

[sambojin]

Not so grim or dark thought for the day: Women in Marienburg may hitch their skirts and show ankles if wanted, for the Empire is becoming to all.

And, ummm, continue the hype. It's not my fault that I'm a death of threads
