TBD - they were having a laugh with the younger more gulible lads. They were trying to say GW would set aliens (like in the movie) loose and you would have to buy a hand scanner if you wanted to survive.

edit - Just noticed that on the GW advance order site there's a picture of a couple of dice with explosion, bolt and another symbol on - more evidence that it's SH or has this always been there? (click on the advance order page and it's on the heading 'gaming' at the head of the advance order menu) http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/landing.jsp?catId=cat1290031&rootCatGameStyle=

**BrookM**

Aren't those dice from Epic or an older version of Necromunda when they still had sustained fire dice?

**covenant84**

They're not epic, they were green (have loads!) and the symbols are different to the old sustaind fire dice and the jam dice.

**ungulateman**

My local GW store's employees reckon the whole point of the Mystery Box is to shut down the rumour mill.

They failed spectacularly, as I think you'll agree.

**Sirius42**

Well I dont know what is in it but it will cost £60. Speculate away.

Did they shut down rumor mill so we'll have one more very much needed reason to buy the advertisement pamphlet they called White Dwarf?

**Niccolo**

You don't have a mystery box if you are trying to squash rumors. You have one to generate more talk. If you want to beat the rumor mill, you just announce it. If you don't want to draw attention to it, you just slip it on the release schedule without fanfare. If you want people to notice your release and generate buzz for you then you go to the mystery box. They seem to have succeeded.

I'm hearing AUD$200.

So, all Australians, buy it overseas where it will be 30% cheaper. And that's not at discounters, that's just GWUK or GWUS.

**Cheese Elemental**

What kind of discounters are you talking about, H'?

**Flachzange**

Well, on the german boards people are saying that it`s "just" Space Hulk. Box is supposed to be quite a bit bigger than the regular ones

http://www.brueckenkopf-online.com/?p=6867

Meine “Agenten” berichten, dass es in der Tat die Space Hulk Box sein wird!
Es gibt offenbar keine weiteren Infos, auch den Preis offenbar noch nicht. Bestellbar ab morgen und auf einige wenige Exemplare pro Laden begrenzt (er meint, 10 oder 15 Stück).
Die Kiste soll größer sein als die normalen Grundboxen.

This ones rather vague about it.

Meine Bekannten sind auch gerade in Köln und haben es aus erster Hand wie man so schön sagt.

This one says that he got aquaintances that are in cologne right now and theyhad the info first hand.

As long as I dont see pics though ... those should come up tonight.

**Alpharius**

That's right!

Trot out the infamous "Pics, or it didn't happen!" line!!!

And you're right - until we see confirmation, who knows?

**H.B.M.C.**

The Dude on Warseer is saying its Space Hulk.

My "agents" report that it really is gonna be the Space Hulk Box.
Appearently there are no further informations and no price yet. You can order tomorrow and there should only be a few per store (about 10 to 15).
The box is suppose to be bigger than the regular starters.

Added translation on the first one.
Second one was already translated.

**Kilkrazy**

As per Babelfish:

My “agents” report that it will be indeed the space Hulk box! There is not obviously no further information, also the price obviously yet. Order bar as of tomorrow and on some few copies per shop limited (it means, 10 or 15 pieces). The crate should be larger than the normal basic boxes.

Officially also not until tomorrow on-line will be. My acquaintance are also straight in Cologne and have it from first hand as one say so beautifully.

:( I really didnt wanne, I honestly didnt.
But this is the interwebs. Cant trust anything beyond your router.

GOD LORD. I really cant believe that people still resort to babelfish. Your cat would produce a better translation Im sure.
Nothing against you KK!!

Thanks mate

Actually I used to be pretty good at German but without a dictionary I can't understand all the words.

**Howard A Treesong**

Why limit Space Hulk? Another genuis marketing decision by GW to lose themselves money.

**Flachzange**

Like I said, it has nothing to do with you

The babelfish translations just arent worth crap. It`s horrible.

Okay, maybe to get a sense of whats going on, but even that is borderline

Anyways.

BTT

**LunaHound**

Its space Hulk! taking bets now!

And he's correct as well.

cardboard tiles old school goodness agogo.

**BrookM**

Basically all that is said that yes it is Space Hulk and that it will be available in limited numbers only. No price or anything is known as of yet. The box will be bigger than the current line of starter boxed sets.

**Lockstock**

When are we going to know for sure?

**NAVARRO**

No cool plastic tiles?

**H.B.M.C.**

Cardboard tiles?

**LunaHound**

Maybe the limited ones are gold plated.
the size of the box probably have something to do with the game board its going to be played on.
( so something large yet not able to be easily folded? )
