I have been waiting for something like this for years. Please, don't be a let-down.

My first thought was "Oh look, another game that gets the scale of 40k all wrong"
Those windows are fucking massive, as 40k ships are kilometers long.

That said, it's very pretty, and yes, BFG was a game just waiting to happen!

I'm going to be generous (and play Devil's Advocate, always fun) and say that those aren't normal-sized "windows" they're just sticking with the "Gothic Cathedral IN SPACE!" theme of the ships.

At any rate, please let this actually work.

The naming is rather odd, and it makes me wonder if we won't see a lawsuit or two.

Fantasy Flight Games just released Star Wars Armada. I wouldn't normally think much of that, "armada" being a rather basic word, but FFG is currently licensed to make 40K products in addition to their Star Wars line. Given the similar titling (Star Wars: Armada versus Battlefleet Gothic: Armada) but the games being very different, I wouldn't be surprised if some lawyers are scrambling around.

GW's use of the name "Battlefleet Gothic: Armada" predates FFG's game by over a decade.

My concern here is that we've yet to see actual game play and I don't recognize either the developers or the Publisher so I can't say how good they are (unless Game's Workshop is the Publisher)

This is only the developer's third game - the other two being Stellar Impact, a spaceship MOBA, and Etherium, a sci-fi RTS.

The publisher is also the publisher of the Blood Bowl games, which is not a point in their favour - their handling of expansion content has been downright abysmal.

There is already a Star Trek Armada game so if anyone has a bone to pick with in the video gaming front, it would be them.

Well, the beta is here. Seems tolerable.
