Pigs In Space! That was a great routine..........

I thinking of the movie released in 2000 (or thereabouts) where Gonzo turns out to be an alien, but you're right. Pigs in Space was indeed fantastic and has great 40K potential (latter point is sarcasm).

What GW needs to do is release a real supplement for Fantasy, like they do for 40k, ie planetstrike. I'd love to mix things up a bit in the Old World. An updated Warhammer Siege would be excellent.

GW just did, to glowing reviews: War of the Ring!



Seriously, when WFB sells in sufficient volume to merit further expansions, then WFB will get them. Mighty Empires and Legendary Battles were supposed to kick start things for WFB, but don't appear to have gone anywhere.

Apoc, Planetstrike, and Planetary Empires will likely do well, so 40k will continue to get more stuff.

I just hope it's related to something that already exists. When GW releases a little specialist game I just get irritated that they have resources going into something that nobody was asking for, when there is so much that needs to be done for 40k.
I'm guessing that it's something that we've already speculated about, but who knows. It might be another one of their half-baked little gems that dies out after a year.
Dark Eldar release date perhaps? I'd love that, but I know that won't happen anytime this year.

Maybe they'll be announcing Planet Strike. GW's right hand often doesn't know that the left hand exists, so it could happen.

To the guy who asked "what is MMO?" - the answer is Massive Multiplayer Online, as in MMO RPG (Warhammer Online, for example).
Possibly.
In Squat-related news, I happened across an IG Codex from '95 that suggests they are working on a Squat Codex, to be released in the future. So there you go - after 14 years of honing and perfecting we might finally see what we (well, me) have all been waiting for:

Codex: Pan F... I mean, Squats!

they will release a new force of . . . . . . SPACE MARINES

Massive Multiplayer Online.

Usually RPGs since they bring in the highest amount of interactive online crowd within one game invironment.

Don't even joke about that. Though nobody would be the least bit caught off guard if GWs "BIG NEW SURPRISE" was something Space Marine related. In fact, there's probably like a 90% that it will be...

Yeah, maybe it'll be Space Wolves or something.

I just got this from an inside source at GW!

Theyre adding silicone to all their new paints and glues!






That way, when they screw us with the next price hike it wont hurt as bad...

I herd the new race is the MYSTERIONS!

They come in black box with no picture on it and when you open it it looks like there's just bases in there but if you're cool enough then you can actually see the Mysterious and they are AWESOME and MINDBLOWING.

But if you're not cool, all you see are bases.

ZOMFG!! I already have like 20,000 pts of these guys painted and converted to GD standards!

But if you're not cool, all you see are bases.

I have so many of these models it isnt funny. Problem is the people I play with are not cool so they can't see the time and effort I put into it. Oh well, since they are so cool I heard GW will be bumping the price up on these too....

Midget Kit; retails for 299.99 you buy it open the box and he jumps out with a hammer smashes all of your models and rapes your cat. Expect the next 3 years of white dwarf dedicated to taking care of your midget.

Outstanding! So the Emperor has a new set of, uh, I mean a new army!

Vale,

As long as whatever it is gives me the chance to say "PREPARE TO FIRE THE MEGA BEAM CANNON!!!!!", dramatic gopher pause, and then say "FIRE!!!!" as I peg the dice at whatever it is I'm shooting it'll be worth the $200,000,000,000,000 I need to spend in monopoly money on it.

More realistically they are all RPGs because other genres don't survive the incredible amount of latency and lag compensation used in MMOs. They can't make other genres in an MMO fashion without jumping through massive hoops (like creating thousands of instanced zones per server).

Prepare to be disappointed? Super Secret Space Hulk does have marines in it after all. I hope they get the flamer rules right this time.

Double oops... edited the wrong post...
I originally said...
I hope it's Warhammer Quest.

They said exciting, not sickening.



Possible debut of the 40k MMO maybe? Planetstrike is well known, and we already know about the trigon. The thunderhawk is a possibility, though it's bigger than a warhound titan so I still debate the chances of that ever actually existing.

This is GW we're talking about. Of course they might think squats are exciting.

EDIT: It's probably some new codex or something equally stupid to be called exciting.

I think they will make a NEW ARMY called



SPAZE MARIENS!!!!!!

Although I am 100% possitive its not this, i wish they would release a whole expansion for WHFB for Legendary battles... I dun care if they already got rules for em... Imperial Armour books had rules for apocalypse games and they still came out with an expansion for it... BAH, cant believe LoTR got an expansion (kind of) before WHFB... BAH!!!!!

Hopefully plastic grey knights and a new codex... Pretty please!

Another Lord of the Rings game nobody wamts?

Let the speculation commence!

As someone pointed out (I think it was Jeff Hall), what GW considers 'unheard of' has really been heard by everyone with an internet connection. What GW considers unheard is what they haven't officially announced yet.

Getting closer now...

Fixed it for you.

It's on their website now finally.

Special edition pogs for Ultramarines, dark angeles and black templars. More are coming soon.
