Oh sod it, I'm going to ask. What is the PAN FO?

Pan Fo...

Looks like its time for Waaagh_Gonads to deliver.



A teaser:

INTRODUCTION
Welcome to CODEX : Pan Fo. These pages contain information that the Pan Fo guard with the up most secrecy, all who read this are swan not to revile it to any alien race. The quest for a new home may be long, and hard, but it is in the up most importance. The Pan Fo aren’t evil, or good, they are natural. This does not mean that they are skilled in the art of war, far from it. With this information you will do what is necessary, and no more. Keep it save.

Yes you read it right, they move by farting...

They had the ability to literally swim though air by forcing air out from under themselves creating a area that propel them a small amount of the ground.

The truth will be reviled.

Hurrah?

...wait, who said that?

cough pre-painted space hulk box with new termies nids and even a broolord and tiles for space hulk board cough... who said that?

Given the above slogans and the Heresy books, it would be interesting if it was a Heresy upgrade sprue.....

Ha, that's a funny way of putting it.

Maybe it's nothing. I practical joke by Jervis for all those cruel cruel years of taunting by the online community.

I feel the whole mess is idiotic. I'm not a child, and don't really appreciate a bit of fun at the hands of GW. I know they don't mean it like that, but They need to communicate a bit better with their customers, or not at all.

Its odd, I've played Warhammer for about seventeen years. I have no plans to stop anytime soon, and I imagine I'll play for seventeen more years.

However, between idiotic shenanigans like this, and their monstrous prices, I have not purchased any related GW products in about a year. I do have the luxury of a mountain of unpainted stuff, But I will not be buying anything new from them anytime soon.

Seventy to a hundred dollars for a board game? It would seem to me that's the real surprise.

I don't know, don't most board games (and by that I don't mean Sorry! or Monopoly) go for around that price?

Right. For the last time (sorry to pick on you for this Pox. Isn't personal I assure you).

The mystery box isn't necessarly anything that has been rumoured. The only thing we know is that on 17th August 2009, a new item comes for advanced order. The staff don't know what this is any more than we do. We will not be ordering blind. The second it hits the pre-order section, it will cease to be a mystery.

It is not necessarily Space Hulk. It is not necessarily a Board Game. It is not necessarily something GW have never done before. BolS presented a round of up sorts, selected repeated grumblings from around the Web, none of which are necessarily true or related to one another.

Me, I reckon it's Azhag The Slaughterer.

Let's all cross our green fingers and hope this is true.

Azhag is already presented as the big thing for September in WD 356

Damn.

Well, at least I know he's on his way.


Still, it's probably (hopefully) discounts. In a box.


They've never done it before...right?

Let's try and think about realistic things, before you know it BoLS will pass that one off as truth and we all know what happens then..

Oh dear lord.

And nobody wants that.

Horus Heresy Board Game.

Been done before, I have it sitting in my cupboard - great game though.

It's not like they haven't re-released something as "new"

Alpharius wrote:Anyway, I still don't think GW has 'figured out' the Internet yet...

Oh I'm positive they haven't. Does anybody remember when GW had their own official forums on their website? It was a great place to chat about news and rumors and your favorite armies, but, like every forum in existence, there was a lot of frustrated and negative commentary. I get the feeling that GW representatives like Jervis get all butt-hurt when they get wind of angry customers, so they bury their heads in the ground (by, say, annihilating their own forums and refusing to allow any hints to circulate so they can't be criticized?) They haven't yet reached the maturity to understand that even negative expression from fans is good and generates excited anticipation. It means people care. Yet GW is happily strolling down the road toward effectively preventing us from caring...

Yep, a lot of boardgames are pushing 70.00 to 80.00 right now.

Nope. In the US, Independent shops will be getting them.

Already asked the question and was assured that my shops would be able to order them.

Welp, my bad, board games are that expensive. And I suppose Azhag does make sense, if they're finally going to launch their "master class" range of models. I just don't know why they would release it as a limited edition model.

BrookM wrote:Well, gotta give GW some credit for keeping it under lock and key for so long. I think it goes to show that GW could be intentionally leaking some things after all when they want to.

Of course, if it is Space Hulk then it was leaked, ages ago.

But I suppose it demonstrates that muddying the water works.

Phazer

I will bet a 1 month suspension from DakkaDakka that it is a Special Edition of Space Hulk or Space Hulk.

can i be the one to hand out that suspension if your wrong?
but ill have to agree with you there, bound to be hulk after all this time

(and not to the suspension part, if i get suspended the MOD will die )

Maybe it's an action figure of Jervis Johnson dressed up as Roboute Guilliman

TBD, in that case ill be the 1st to buy one ................... then record the vid as i nail it to an iron halo and burn it

I really don't have a local store anymore... I may need to find someone who'll take a 'mail order' request!

The T-Shirts says something about the "Voice of the Emperor" and having to register.

Doesn't sound very Space Hulk-y.

Hopefully it's the squats. Back for a month then gone for another decade!
