Like others, I am still going with space corridors, full set & plastic. No-one makes those yet as far as I know.

You obviously haven't heard of the company who cannot be named in the Humor thread.

oh you must mean litko they make wonderful space corridors and industrial towers

Might be space hulk and space terrain and such.

graboids.......definitely graboids

my guess is a new race......anyone know of anything they have not ripped off for a race ? ewoks in 40k ?

Im sure they will bring more forge world stuff over...

My guess is the super secret project is 6th edition 40k...

That would be nice. Hopefully they fix these idiotic los rules so they're not so obscure and easily argued over. 4th ed los was simple and manageable.

Hope its a revamp of Space Marines and all the off-shoot chapters!

PLEASE, tell me this was sarcasm.

GW is going to transfer it's entire business to the U.S. where it will ask for a bail-out.

Must... resist... closing...



WHEN is this Gamesday coming, so we can put this thread out of its misery?



Soon, right?

Please?

I hope it's GW repackaging their paints line in the new pots that the washes and foundation colors come in already. Though what I'd REALLY like to see is them revert back to the older hex pots that the paints used to come in. That will never happen though. Those pots were awesome! Having agitators included like Reaper does would be cool. Right now my surplus SM heads are doing just that! (It'd be cool to get a random shoulder pad or miniature head as an agitator in every pot wouldn't it?)

I hope the surprise is a price decrease, that would be nice for everyone.

If I get started on all the countless ways 5th ed los rules were nothing but a massive, time-wasting blight on the game, I'll fill 4 pages of subject matter irrelevant to this thread. Suffice it to say that Necromunda (aka 'true') los rules were great in Necromunda because you only had a dozen models and all cover was solid... having to, not only fuss with such los rules over a couple hundred models, but have an opponent who also has to check each one to verify that you're not cheating, which inevitably leads to a million disputes per game? Not so cool... Playing against people using an army of crouching/prone infantry? Neither cool, nor in the spirit of the game. Landspeeders modeled low to the ground like cars instead of using super high bases which made them look infinitely more dramatic and cool? Killing a squad leader just because the model has it's hand sticking up high in the air just above cover? You can see where I'm going with this... I don't even play anymore because the shooting phase became a cumbersome chore that dragged the fun out of the game.
2 things will bring me back: New DE codex and/or going back to the nice solid 4th ed los rules (though a public apology would also be in order, imo.)
But there I go, I'm getting started. I should stop.

Can't wait to see what the Games Day surprise is!

Sounds to me the problem isn't the rules, it's the fact that everyone you play against is a douche.

Ive never had any of those problems in 5th.. Guess im lucky in that I only play against tons of whiners not anal retentive.. Its the opponents, not the rules

People dont *have* to model to exploit, nor do they *have* to argue about every LOS when it really doesnt matter

That's kinda what I was thinking... but maybe it's not them.

I think you've stumbled onto the secret Project.

It is the "There will be no GAMES DAY to disclose the project" project!

While we were slumbering, GW stripped all the GAMES out of the DAY and now it is just "come to a location we've rented out so you could give us money instead of going to a game store to play for free" time... masquerading as an event of importance.

Like the Eye of Terror campaign.

Trust me, it's them. None of my friends play the game, so I'm always paired up against the stereotypical chinbeards whose self-esteem is based on their success in gaming. Even if it means shameless rules-lawyering. I'm too laid back to really care about how seriously they want to take it. I usually win anyway. But winning isn't that fun when opponents constantly accuse me of cheating just because they're absolutely positive that DE are supposed to suck.
Don't mean to derail the thread. Just defending myself. I don't nit pick at the rules, I'm just upset at the way 5th edition los accommodates those who do.

Which brings me back on topic: If 6th edition is announced, the first thing I would wonder is "What change did they deem to be so urgent as to warrant releasing another rule book so quickly?"

I heard they were actually going to start balancing armies, not just try to sell the next one by making it that little bit more uber....

Or, they may be thinking of making a WS4, T4, 2A with Xhw & FC more than 6 points.

Really, it's gotta be Space Hulk IMO

Sounds to me the problem isn't the rules, it's the fact that everyone you play against is a douche.

Here here!!!! I about fell out of my chair with that level of directness heheh. LOS has not been a real issue in most of my games or tourny games. The only time it comes into question is when cover may be involved especially on a big critter or vehicle. Then a laser pointer fixes that real fast.

6th ED are you crazy!?!!?!? It is more than likely a new army or a new box game like space hulk. I am betting on the space hulk.

Not making enough profit on 5th edition....

Touche'

I hope its a midget.

i am not hopeing for this but i have a feeling that they may be releasing the chaos gods don't quote me but just a hunch. If choas and necrons get gods what will everybody else get, marines will get primarchs not sure about other people though

I cant see this happening. It would completely change the entire fluff of 40K. The Ctan god thats rumored to be the Machine God on Mars, Primarchs coming back, Chaos gods actually getting a physical form. This kind of stuff I could MAYBE see happening if GW gets desperate or wants to drastically change the landscape of the game.

I would, however, like to think its the Xeno Inquisition Iv been praying for sense the Deathwatch rules where released.

Massive Multiplayer Online.

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

Thank you!!

If its a new race, Chaos dwarves. If not a new race...

Hollismason, that would be awesome if it was a midget
