My local GW has a 25 nov top secret midnight release. Anyone any idea what it could be ?
Could it be the return of Necromunda ?

Is it the Burning of Prospero box game?

Uh oh... Is there a precedent for this kind of thing? Maybe a choice the local manager made, as I haven't heard anything mentioned elsewhere.

What makes you think its Necromunda?

I would love a surprise "big" release. I feel like GW has had an amazing year, and their rebuilding-year, and efforts to start rehabilitating their reputation has been pretty strong. It would be wonderful to end this year on one more fan-friendly note.

That said, the last time someone hyped a GW store, secret release, it was for a random exclusive Captain model. :-p

New edtions have been mid night releases traditionally. I don't expect it to be that. It could be the new 30k board game, but would they really make that THE top secret event ?

Well, considering the Custodes issues of White Dwarf is also November, that really implies that this is what the event would need to be.

I doubt GW would cut off that game's moment in the sun, for an even bigger release.

There's a Blood Bowl event at Warhammer World on Nov 26/27th - does that game have a release date yet?

Necromunda will be AFTER Adeptus Titanicus according to Atia in the War of Sigmar comments. She also pointed out the currently available info is Blood Bowl in Nov/Dec 2016 and AT in Feb 2017.

This sounds more like Blood Bowl. With 'Burning of Prospero' before and Fenris II afterwards.

But those 'GW dates' have often led to wrong assumptions in the past...

It is the last Friday of the month which in November is the 25th. Top possibilities are blood bowl or Magnus which are both due out around that time. It will not be the Horus heresy board game as that is in the preivous White dwarf.
Edit it is also the last white dwarf with a free gift which may be related.

Surely it's for the burning of Prospero.

Burning of prosperous will be released late October or early November. It is in the November white dwarf which releases at the end of October.

Generally midnight releases have been new editions. But reliable rumours have 8th ed as coming next year.

The return of the primarchs would certainly do that. My money is on Magnus.

Convenient when you can attribute multiple of the most stupid suggestions to a thread asking for a serious answer to one person.

Anyway considering the OP is not in the US , I do not think it would be "Black Friday" related though it has infected other parts of the world.
I do not think that Necromunda or Blood Bowl would be worth a midnight special release or event though both are great.
We know that Prospero is on the cover of the November WD, which leads me to believe that it will be released the first week of November with pre-orders of course the week before.
So my only suggestion would be the Fenris II Campaign and the first wave of Daemon Primarchs.

I can assure you that black Friday isn't a thing around here. Some shopkeeps try to import it, but it doesn't really catch on.

Agreed.
The return of the Daemon Primarchs especially will have a huge impact on the game and the balance going forward.

Blood Bowl and Prospero coming for x-mas from what I understood, the chances of them throwing out a third huge release are.... well who the hell knows, GW dun gone crazy this year... we'll see!

That is what I figured.
And I figure Games Workshop is under the notion considering how international that they are.
Now...I will say that if it is something good I am glad my store does a special Black Friday discount lol.


Has anyone thought that it could be the return of The Lord of the Rings?

Never seen an important release in 40k other than a new ed.

It's probably Daemon Primarch Magnus. We know he's coming before the end of the year (confirmed by Sad Panda), plus his model existing would mark a huge shift in the narrative and Games Workshops' willingness to delve into their lore for inspiration.

Burning of Prospero is in the November White Dwarf which indicates that it is an early November/late October release.
