Theres the same questions authors always get asked- where do you get your ideas from exactly. I'd say he's answered them a million times already so best to avoid them.
Do you feel there have been any missed oppertunities in the Horus Heresy Series?
Do you think there is ever scope for a 40k novel that doesn't feature war or violence?
How much editorial control does GW excercise over your work and has it lessened as your popularity grew?
The Black library has done an awful lot to bring GW to a wider audience. What more could it do to get it appeal to the non fanboys? In particular to women.
The Orks are one of the biggest races in 40k and have been since its inception. Will there ever be a book with an Ork protaganist or are their thought processes too simple?
How many books will the battle for the Emperors palace last, and who will write them?
How many more books do you envisage their being in the horus heresy series (roughly)
Will the guants ghosts series ever end? (Somehow I doubt they're going to make it to the guard retirement home)
What books have you read yourself recently that you'd recommend?
More Necromunda please.
How much collaboration goes on between writers? Are there any you particularly like to work with?
How long until we get to see Eisenhorn make another appearance?
What, for you, is the toughest aspect of taking on another book?
What's the most compelling aspect of 40K for you?
Are there anymore screenplays along the lines of Ultramarine in the works?

If you could write the script for a second warhammer 40,000 movie, who would you want it to be about? Given infinite budget.
Also, why won't you write some Imperial Fist books?
any new BL space wolf books?
how many books are left in HH?
any plans on eisenhorn returning?
is he doing better health wise? (eating, exercising)
Given your good working relationship with the major comic book companies if one of them got the rights to do a 40K or Warhammer Fantasy comic, would you write it?
Do you have a favorite artist to work with?
Are you doing any more Doctor Who work in the near future (that they will let you talk about?)
I'm thinking it'd probably turn out more like Daleks playing Quiddich. "It is the Potter!! EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE! " (someone I know on twitter)
Do you think the lack of female characters in the Space Marines holds the 40k universe back from appealing to a wider audience?
Individual writers have done a great job of incorporating female characters into their novels, but at its core, the Warhammer 40k universe is a very male-centric place. Do you ever see that changing? Is there encouragement from the higher-ups to include female characters in the lore, or does the increasing female presence in 40k come from the authors?
With the great succes of the 'path of' Eldar series, is there going to be different books from the different craft worlds anytime soon?
will there be another inquisitor book? maybe a new inquisitor? or more of ravinor?
"There's too many men, too many people, Making too many problems,
And not much love to go round, Can't you see this is a land of confusion?"
Were you happy with the end product of the ultramarines movie?
Are we getting a sequel to Triumff?
However the process of robo-insemination is far too complex for the human mind!
