Well everybodies holding a freaking hissyfit about the new space wolves codex. Do you think that could be it. Oh and squats are disgusting. Why the Emperor lets them live is anybodies guess.

The plot thickens....


From the Bell:

Think this is Space Hulk? My thought is a limited ed. of the Blood Bowl game for the Consoles that will include the Blood Bowl board game as well. Could just be talking out of my a$$ though........ I could see the Marketing team at GW thinking this is a grand idea...

FINALLY!! Trolls in the Pantry will be re-released!!

It's Hungry Hungry Tyranids, where each player plays a Tyranid and Squats are the food. This game will get kids that are even younger into the game (start them early!!!) as well as put to bed any complaints about the Tyranids eating the Squats.

So tha rules out Space Hulk, perhaps it's a reasonably priced figure.

Maybe it'll be game where you have to come up with interesting and inventive ways to punish Jervis for all the crap he's done to 40K in recent years.

A sequel to Trolls in the Pantry perhaps, Fools in the Studio.

Its going to be a hardcover of all 3 expansions, its as simple as that.

When you say "it's going to be a hardcover of all 3 expansions," do you mean, "you think it is, but are totally guessing," or "you heard it is from a reliable source?"


And the 3 expansions, you mean Cities of Death, Apocalypse, and Planetstrike, right?

And when you say, "its as simple as that", do you mean "I don't care that the release says 'boardgame'!!!!!!"?

Yeah! I mean.....that's what I meant to say!

C'mon guys, we all know it's a rerelease of Talisman.

I'm sticking with Bommaz!

...it's a re-release of Talisman

Talisman was already re-released last year through FFG.

Space Hulk seems a good bet for the "mystery product", though I was hoping for something else in addition to Space Hulk. Since the Space Hulk rumor's been around for months now, it would be nice to have another cool 40K surprise on top of that, like a new large model kit. If it's Space Hulk, that's not really a big surprise at this point, though it would still be a welcome release for many 40K fans.

If it's Space Hulk, that would be odd that they won't print more.

That is one thing that is surprising... So many people would want it why limit the sale?

I would like to see a new race just for kicks and giggles.

Maybe it will be blood bowl as a board game?

(pure baseless speculation)

That already exists:

Oh, I can see why they would do it, and all their justifications are completely in like with their business model, as well as being bloody stupid. For one thing, they're forcing people to buy it NOW, no time allowed to reconsider. Second, they're not letting you shop around for the best price, thus injecting more cash into their retail stores.

actually there was a thread almost 3 weeks ago on warseer but it got closed due to immature jokes about michal jackson and another thread got started at a later date.

i hope its a diarama of clagar and uriel ventris getting shafted by a bunch of grots and an offical statment of there deaths.

No its "Oi! Dat's My Leg!"

I used to have this way back when, the tape with the songs was insane.

Well if it's "something they've never done before" can it actually be space hulk? It makes me think Plastic Thunderhawk. But they've made a metal one before so...

Hm it's a toughy. Hope it's worth the wait when we find out though.

Maybe it will be a price adjustment.

Wait, it's something that GW has never done before and they do that every year.

Maybe it's savings on large boxed sets like The Spear of Sicarius over buying the components individually.

Hold on that's not a board game.

I hope it's Space Hulk with plastic terrain but my guess is that it will be a new game where space marines face off against space marines.

Im a bit skeptical its something totally new.. GW isnt known for branching out

GW will need to sell a lot of these to justify the tooling cost for such a large kit.

Now, if it's in a numbered collector's box, I guess that could command some premium.

Maybe if it is the Plasic Thunderhawk, it'll be like the AOBR Plastic Defkopters (as far as I'm aware you can't get plastic versions outside of the box. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.)

Actually, with all seriousness, wasn't there once a rumor/comments about a 40K advanced rules set? That would something new.

Maybe it's been completely disavowed bu I thought some GW higher up brought that up a Gamesday or two ago

I forget if it was posted here or on Warseer, but someone pointed out they could easily do a limited edition version, perhaps with a special character, then re-release a regular version a year later. Apparently Axies & Allies (I think) did that with their anniversary edition or something?

As for it being something GW has never done before, I like the theory of having electronic watches for the players rounds (or some such) !

..Mostly I just want it to be space hulk!

Btw. do people on Dakka already know about Fantasy Flight's new Warhammer board game?

http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/edge_minisite.asp?eidm=84&enmi=Chaos%20in%20the%20Old%20World

Yeah, but GW doesn't sell non-GW merchandise.
