Of course, one way of getting all these 40k players into ST is to convert their armies over into the ST rules. Use a creative naming scheme to avoid the IP lawyers, and voila.
You can use some 40k armies in ST almost as is, such as Space Marines, Imperial Guard, and Tyrannids, but it's probably better to convert them to avoid confusion.
Once these players get a taste of the rules and other games in general, I'm sure a good number will shift their monthly gaming money towards ST.
And no, Mongoose is not owned by WotC, or at least there's a very little chance it is. A WotC company wouldn't be doing this sort of thing, they've be making some sort of Starship Troopers clicky collectable minis game. They make some D20 and OGL products, but if that meant ownership, then WotC/Hasbro would already be a megacorporation.

i was massicared. Recently i have found no problem betting them. all it took was a new stratigy, some difrent thinking and presto dead chaos demon princes. i think the bigest problem with 40k is stagnation. people pay so much for a army that they never change it. so when somthing new comes along they are ill equped to deal with it. (i'm guilty of it too, my marines only recently changed to fight chaos) :wink:
