Unfortunately no, not really.
They have a sad tendency to suddenly give up on games which do not sell "good enough". However, Warhammer will doubtless sell well, and therefore should be "out of danger".

FFG does create quality products. However, I'm concerned because they have put time and effort with the slightly vaporware-ish Anima RPG that has marketing elements of D&D. If that anime-based piece of crap ever gets off the ground, I fear for Warhammer's well-being taking into account its lack of lucrative peripheral support. Anima looks highly marketable and would appeal much more to a younger crowd of gamers than Warhammer ever would, as well as being better suited to FFG's style of marketing. Any RPG that is not D&D or WoD is never "out of danger" anymore. This brings up a shadow of a possible conundrum. Will future RPG releases simply act as supplemental for card games, video games, and miniatures? RPG's are most definitely not where the money is at. I see this especially in the case of D&D. They are streamlining RPG rules likely to allow the miniatures game to run more parallel to the rules as a whole. With simpler, more similar rules, it's likely many D&D players will see no reason not to use their miniatures for a skirmish (especially in the all-to-frequent case of not having all the players show up). Sales for miniatures, especially with more integrated support from the RPG itself, will very likely increase tremendously as a result. Warhammer, because of Games Workshop's deep focus on its overpriced, complex miniatures line and little else, is simply too much of a stubborn beast to achieve similar results as D&D. Because of this, Warhammer RPGs will always be in danger. If the Warhammer MMO manages to really get off the ground (and I think it will), I wonder how this will impact the RPG. More security I hope. I guess we'll see. By the way, Arkham Horror RULES.
