It is not a starter. It is a board game.

I THINK it is not a starter, I'm PRETTY SURE it's a board game, BASED ON RUMOURS.

Lol your the one who was coming across as terse and angry, hence the bolded text  , and 100% means nothing, as he could still turn out to be wrong, I suppose what im saying is, don't correct the other fella as if the rumour is fact, it isn't, it's a good source, but we don't know yet if it's accurate.

Course it can. Models could be used for 30k or even 40k if you so wished. Ultimately you can use the models for what you want. You could use the marines as basic tactical, tac support squad, vet tacticals or heavy support squads. Huge flexibility especially with the amount of stuff on the sprues.

Just hedging my bets, no matter the source (unless I get it direct myself) I always take it with a grain of salt, for example the contents of the box may not be exactly what is rumoured, so I am not going to plan out my army until I see the box itself, fair right?

No! If it is a board game, the figures must be used as such! And do not dare use tactical squad marines in sweet MKIV bling as sternguard in regular 40k games!

The problem with the 'vote with your dollar' response is that it doesn't take into account why we're not buying the product. I want to enjoy 40k enough to buy back in. It was my introduction to traditional games, and there was a time when I enjoyed it very much. I want to buy 40k, but Gamesworkshop is doing their very best to push me away, and simply not buying their product won't tell them that.

It mimics the style of the Forgeworld Heresy books.
Just cheaper and not as good, but given they are £72 each its understandable.

The rumor is there are already two boxsets planned, but the "book one" makes me think maybe they're going to do the boxsets as a serialized approach progressing and marching along with the FW... so like a box set for each FW book or maybe one a year.

I don't recognize the art on the back of the one card...whether that makes it more or less legit, I can't say but I don't recognize it at all.

That's official art on that card back - I've got it on a poster for Book 1 of the FW Heresy series (betrayal). The full scene is a contemptor and a land raider with a fire raptor overhead and a lot of drop pods coming in from above.
*edit* Ninja'd.
Looks pretty legit, I have to say. Can't wait for some more pictures.

That rule book despite not looking like FW quality still looks great. I don't remember seeing a GW board game with that kind of quality cover on a rule book in the past. I am hoping the rumours of a stand alone game based around the HH from GW are true I am loving what I am seeing so far.
