Man, FF are hard to keep up with, I had no idea this was coming! I need to keep a closer eye on them!

I gotta say, I was expecting FF to eventually bring out a new edition of WHFRP, but I thought it would be mostly a case of new artwork and a few rule tweaks here and there … but Cards? Special Dice? 4 Rulebooks?
Some how this doesn’t seem like the direct successor to the D10/D100 based system that Fantasy Flight took over from Black Industries a few years back (which I own a lot of the books for), this looks like a whole new system…

The special dice have me very intrigued according to the site there’s: Characteristic dice (blue D8), Reckless dice (red D10), Conservative dice (green D10), Fortune dice (white D6), Expertise die (yellow D6), Misfortune die (black D6), Challenge die (purple D8). It’s hard to make out from the pictures but they seem to be marked with all kinds of Warhammer-y symbols (skulls, comets, hammers and swords), But what do they do? And where’s the D100?

I have a feeling I will be buying this anyway for good or for ill
