What will the next Total War game be?

So earlier in the month Creative Assembly put out some info saying that they would be announcing the next addition to the Total War franchise at EGX on the 25th of this month.

EGX has just announced they will be revealing our next Total War Title at their show in London on the 25th-28th of September! This unannounced title joins our ongoing ROME II content development and the previously announced ARENA F2P project.

Near the start of the year both Creative Assembly, and the creators of the Warhammer Fantasy and Warhammer 40k universes, Games Workshop announced that CA had gotten the ability to make games under license for Warhammer Fantasy. And just shortly ago CA had been looking to fill an Associate Producer position for a Warhammer Fantasy game on their site here.

An exciting new role for a Warhammer Fantasy Battle enthusiast. Joining our new team working on this IP, your deep understanding of the Warhammer universe will be critical to the project's success.

So being the Warhammer fanboy I am (both 40k and Fantasy) I am REALLY hoping this is a Total Warhammer game. I mean can you think of a better setting for a non-historic Total War game? The entire basis of Warhammer is that all of these different races and nations are at a continuous state of war with each other for all time! Most of the armies fight using melee weapons, though there are some firearms and magic at play. And really the magic is where I see the biggest problem being. The closest thing to magic we have in Total War games are the different commander abilities you can use on your different units or against the enemy troops.

Back in 2006 Black Hole Games released a Warhammer Fantasy strategy game, Mark of Chaos. Mark of Chaos seemed to borrow the actual combat from the Total War series and was very similar to what you find in Rome and Medieval but the campaign itself was so on rails that ultimately you felt like you were being led by the collar and wasn't very fun. If what CA are going to announce is going to be a Warhammer Fantasy Total War game I have faith they will create a much better game than Mark of Chaos.
