Could this be something to do with the 6th edition of 40k?

There is very little in the thread and the document lacks detail. What do you think?

I'd really appreciate some sort of alternate linking or hosting for the work blocked.

It's a table on a piece of paper talking about a 14th July 2012 release, presumably of 6th edition.

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

Sounds very strange.

**Deathly Angel**

The fact that the teaser period begins only a couple of weeks before the actual release is typical of GW I guess...

But at least we have some guess as to precisely when 6th comes out, though this could in all likelyhood be a hoax... I don't know how they could have been able to photograph and leak this without being caught.

"Go loud"

What does PoS mean

**Ouze**

for the workblocked

**Valhallan42nd**

PoS is point of sale, i.e. a store. GW TV is likely their internal vid casts. I doubt they would buy more tv ads.

**blood angel**

Seems legit.

Interesting.

**Chibi Bodge-Battle**

Has to be a fake
It says possible "Go Loud" Period TV ad

As I said, that likely refers to their vidcasts they've done, with the ever inspiring Allen Merrit snoozing you through what should be awesome. The man has the charisma of pudding.

**Conrad Turner**

PoS = Point of Sale.

Basically, things like Standees, shelf edging. Otherwise known as "Stuff pointing to the stuff you're trying to shift"

**JudgeShamgar**

July 14th as release date is on a Saturday, so it would fall on the correct day of the week.

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

I believe the alternative they had originally was "Go Ward or go home!".

**Chibi Bodge-Battle**

You ninja'd me Valhallian

Is possible. Good thing is if it is one of those cheapo vids then we can safely ignore it

I fell asleep during the turgid DF vid.
It needed more fleet and less dread(ful)

BTW I know what PoS means and also a possible alternative meaning which midly amused

**SlaveToDorkness**

Didn't we know it was Summer '12 anyway?

Seems legit. Not much else to glean from it.

**GamzaTheChaos**

Interesting. it seems to follow what many were speculating

**theunicorn**

Well that actually looks legit. It obviously is dealing with store merchandising and layout. It looks to start the official announcement on June 30th with the release date being july 14th, that would keep with standard GW nonsense.

You gotta love that the Advertising dept has singled out "cut & Paste" FaceBook posts

**Absolutionis**

This seems like the easiest thing to fabricate. Only the GW TV adverts are the surprising thing.

...that and 6th edition's potential release.

**Ouze**

Seems legit to me. Too boring and specific to be a hoax; in my opinion warhams hoaxes always show a lot of wishlisty type stuff.

Plus it's fairly credible that a GW marketing campaign for their biggest release would fit on one side of A4

**Pacific**

I suppose this means GW will still have its detestable 'marketing' (cough) framework in place as of summer next year? 2 weeks build up for the companies biggest release, one which they must have spent millions of pounds on, since 5th edition came around? You couldn't make this gak up..

But as someone commented on the other thread, the 'marketing department' has been replaced by a 'punishing department' instead.

**astrocat**

It looks painfully authentic.

Funny how it seems to suggest starting 6th with a new army may be high on their sales agenda, never could have seen that coming. In a million years. With a million eyes.

Hrmh. Interesting.

It's almost like they're finally trying to do a real marketing campaign.
It's still a relatively short time of warning, but at least it's a step in the right direction.

The "remerchandise 40k section" one is the most interesting. It reads less as "Insert a new army!" and more "Group the battleforces together near the Rulebook, and see if you can hook someone with a new army."

**CadianXV**

Seems a tad sparse though. Still, it could well just be 'summary' document the source in question typed up.

Any ideas as to what GW will change for 6th? I quite like how 5th works, although I'm aware others would be glad to see TLOS leave.

**Pacific**

I think it's probably the one aspect that will almost certainly stay, considering that 4th edition was the only version that didn't use it and was an anomaly in that regard. The developers have gone on record and said it made to much of an abstraction for the players.

**Floris**

The only change from 5th to 6th edition is that you will need to use dice with your army logo in place of the six. Obviously the dice are finecast and come 6 in a box. That is 6 random dice in a box.

...and a hole for the one.

(Well someone was gonna say it)

**Samus_aran115**

GW TV ad? LOL

Sounds pretty cryptic. I see a lot of things that would hint to a new edition though. Launch CD? What? Since when?

**Flashman**

Hadn't noticed the "New 40K, New Army" part of the campaign. Well I am instantly inclined to rebel on that aspect of the launch.
