That was mentioned as being a pet project of Andy Chambers, who now works for Blizzard and it was supposed to be released right after 4th edition.

Isn't that sort of what turned into the Starship Troopers ruleset?

I think that was the case yes, that and some ancient battles game. I'd check his site but the git hasn't updated it for two or so years now.

Well those rumors on Bell rule out some of the ideas we've had here:

-It is a completely stand alone set that is not related to any race.
-It is something that GW has never done before.
-It is a board game.

space hulk doesn't fit in here at all, it has been done before and it is definitly related to an know race.
But why should GW do something with a new race wich would be interesting for us when they have dozends of already existing ones.

could be though that the new space hulk isn't about marines and nids at all and that a "full plastics" board game regards as something they've never done before.

damn it, let it be august now! :-)

I would actually like to see a new race. Maybe it's going to be like some kinda D&D style game?

Most of the odds based on what information is available seem to be on the idea that this "surprise" product is the reissue of Space Hulk. However, the real surprise to me is that there isn't more definite information about this just a month from the big unveiling. Now THAT is a surprise given the way that information about GW's upcoming products tends to leak out weeks, months and even years ahead of time.

Indeed they are very tight-lipped about this, maybe they issued strong threats in head office?

Well, if they let people know that any leaks would be punished by immediate dismissal "for cause" and fines, that could work...

Its got to be 40K themed Mountain Dew, and you collect "40k Dew Points" to spend on an online board game to see where the fluff goes in 6th Edition.

The flavors will be Ultramarine Blueberry, Ork Nob PowerLime, Space Wolf Runic Mist (to coincide with the new codex), and then they will release a new version of Ultramarine Blueberry with a little something to make it better than the others.

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

Thus, it could be something they've never done before. It would make sense for them to carry the product for a limited time.

The Bell of Lost Souls says that they are rumours not gospel... as I said on the other thread about this I have heard its 54mm and to do with Orks...

Ah, but the masses are good little sheeple.

Interesting!

Spoiler alert!

One thing we know - it'll be expensive like the Spear of Sicarius box set. If it's nothing they've done before, it'll be a cheap new army!

On second thought... no.

Anyone who thinks this is NOT Space HUlk needs to stop thinking so hard.

-It is a completely stand alone set that is not related to any race.

It's not related to any (one) race, It's Terminators vs. Genestealers

-It is something that GW has never done before.

I'll tell you what GW has never done before; Pre-painted miniatures.

-It is a board game.

It's Space Hulk


Dosadi

Dosadi, just a little while ago I thought GW had everyone eating out of their hand based on how well they've built the hype. But now I'm starting to think people will be disappointed when it's revealed to be Space Hulk. The thing ceased to be the "Mystery Box" and became the "Wishlist Box."

If it's Space Hulk, surley the only *new* thing will be the Board itself, as Termies and Nids are all plastic now.

Prepainted minis ?
God, i hope thats not what they mean. Could make sense though....

M@MAX wrote:Prepainted minis ?

And as I've said in every single Space Hulk thread this year, it's something that the studio has considered when they talked about possibly doing a new Space Hulk.

And then every jumps down my throat about how GW games are a "Hobby"(as if that's something that prepainted suddenly stops being somehow) and would never do that ever possibly.

Fishmen??
That would be sweet, especially if they looked like the fish men from the Castlevania Series..

fishmen? they have allready been realsied they are called tau

has anyone read the thread on warseer he later goes on to say that after another chat at his store its not deffinatley a "board game" but a "boxed game"

Most games come in a box of some sort

11 pages of plastic crack wish-list in this thread.

Another 5 in http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/247232.page

22 pages of big fat hairy sphericals. No actual information anywhere.

For the sake of my sanity. SHUT THE F*** UP!

You could just ignore those threads, there's no sense in telling the internets to shut up.

Or maybe as we have four threads on the same subject on the front page, the mods could step in and say enough is enough.

None of the threads are news or rumours, just speculation.

Is there any chance this is going to be WHFRP 3E? From the way it was described in Graham McNeill's blog, it might very well be something that GW hasn't done before (sorta kinda).

It is not a GW product in any way, shape or form. They only sold the rights.

If you're talking about WFRP, then I gotta say you might be wrong. I don't think GW sold the rights. I'm pretty sure they licensed the rights to FFG.

I don't think they're out of tickets to participate yet, but it will probably be counted as community service. Why would you have to pay?

You forgot to add that they'll gossip about a secret Dark Eldar Mystery Juice for centuries, only to stop production because not enough people were wetting their pants in anticipation.

Offensive .. oh that makes me laugh, as apposed to collecting models of Slaanesh that are based on sexual deviancy etc... or killing, murder death and mayehm.

Words in a song ( http://boltthrower.com/lyrics/realmofchaos.php ) are offensive.. Aware of the outside world?
Oh what jolly japes.. best move on before I go into a rant.

Yeah, sometimes the world says one thing and does another. I watched a movie which had a warning at the beginning that someone was smoking in the movie, and then there was a 5 minute long graphic sex scene. So we must warn our kids about a cigarette which appears for a fraction of a second, but no warning that some may be even a LITTLE disturbed ?

A lot more people die from smoking than from having sex...

yes but when you let like 6 year old kids look at that example...euggh

what movie?

And I would definately prefer 65 of his grammatical posts with correct capitalisation et.c. to 777 posts of your 'SPAZ HULK!!!1!!one!!11!eleven!!'.

Did you even read through my posts?

Yep. I only looked through the last 3 pages of your posts, all bar 2 of which are one liners with little to no use. And you forgot capitalisation for the start of sentances and full stops at the end for most sentances.

By the way, there is only ever need for one ! or ? per sentance. To quote Terry Pratchett "Multiple exclamation marks are the sure sign of a diseased mind."

Man that meme drives me nuts.

i've realized something.
Gw has been clued in that the internet isn't a fad, and their search has shown them what will sell.
Angry Marines

knowing GW it's probably a new SM unit -_- 0_o

Please don't use those passive aggressive emoticons. They are annoying.

To speculate, I can't really think of any Marine units left to make, aside from Legion of the Damned. Even then, they've been made before. I heard someone say the new thing was going to be a Bugman's game based around Bugman's Bar at Warhammer World. If that's the big secret release I'll be disappointed.

I know exactly how you feel. There was talk of a word filter for it awhile back, I still dream of the glorious day when that becomes a reality. Or better yet, we treat people who say that like the people who post the DE greens. Ah, sweet serenity...

That's just been anounced in White Dwarf. I for one was disappointed.

Also, I'm loving the idea they'll bring out Angry Marine upgrade packs.

Sorry, that gave me a severe case of the irrits.

On topic: Probably new unit boxes or some overpriced plastic kit of a slightly more overpriced forgeworld resin kit.

It gave me a severe case of the lols! I assumed those guys put 'revile' on purpose.

In addition to the new spehss wolphs, Lemon Russ will be a fieldable character after returning from the warp.

Oh really? It's been a while since we've seen any special citrus characters.

So roughly three weeks to go till Games Day Germany and the unveiling of whatever this super-secret merchandise will be. It's not the "Bugman's board game", that's already being advertised in the latest White Dwarf and it's only available at Bugman's. If anyone has any new information that's on topic, it would be most welcome.

The three inquistions in one book(DH,WH and DW).

Now that's just crazy talk!

It's crazy talk because Chaos Squats are nothing new. They've made them before and they were discontinued along with their Imperial brethren many years ago. I actually owned some and sold them at a GW flea market two years ago.

Three weeks till Games Day Germany and still no good intel on the "secret box". Grrrr...
