What is the most secretive of colors (or colours)? Well Ninjas are without a doubt the most secretive, however Ninja isn't a color. Ninja's do wear a lot of black so we can reasonably assume the secret color is infact black.
Now add our secret color to a Space Marine codex and we have...Black Templars!
The announcement will be heralded by a great swarm of locusts with Lions heads blotting out the mid day sun. As a cacophony of voices read lamentations from Debate and Discussion threads on hating Games Workshop in E Minor.
Then a long line of nonbelievers their naked emaciated bodies bound with chains made of pewter from melted down Squat figures will drag a stone ark from the sea and as their eyes brim with tears as they are forced to light the funeral pyre of all second edition codexes known to man announcing and heralding the great rebirth of the beast known as Jervis Johnson.
As the great Stone Ark doors opens the foul bloated form of Jervis will emerge atop the backs of the few female wargamers his bloated distended stomache writhing with the hidden masses of genetic creations that Gamesworkshop developed with price increases over the previous years.
His mass will be laid upon the beach and as he squats he will birth the first slayer of man the Genestealer from his elephantine quivering stretched anus signaling the end of all mankind.

If I lose it is because I had bad luck, if you win it is because you cheated.
I'm hoping they'll reinstate Andy Chambers, sack Jervis, and leave 40K in Rick Priestley's hands. Then maybe we'll get some variety and colour back into 40K.

And so, due to rising costs of maintaining the Golden Throne, the Emperor's finest accountants spoke to the Demigurg. A deal was forged in blood and extensive paperwork for a sub-prime mortgage with a 5/1 ARM on the Imperial Palace. And lo, in the following years the housing market did tumble and the rate skyrocketed leaving the Emperor's coffers bare. A dark time has begun for the Imperium, the tithes can not keep up with the balloon payments and the Imperial Palace and its contents, including the Golden Throne, have fallen into foreclosure. With an impending auction on the horizon mankind holds its breath as it waits to see who will gain possession of the corpse-god and thus, the fate of humanity......

Andy works for Blizzard now, good luck getting him away from that golden crack joint.
Squats
Albion (c'mon - Druids in WHFB? Awesome!)
Firmir (remember them?)
Nippon
Norse
Slaan (for 40k, I mean)
Either that or they'll just bring back 'Man o' War' hahaha!
p.s stop arguing about the english language or you'll all get a smacked bottom - British, Americans, Canadians, Australians and New Zealanders - we're all bro's. We ALL share the language. Innit?
Automatically Appended Next Post: p.p.s will SOMEONE please explain what/who 'Pan Fo' are?
I'm out of the loop on this one....

Lines went off their on-line catalogue on Sunday. Various people from the tactical command and warseer forums contacted ForgeWorld yesterday and got the same response. Anything that has gone from the catalogue is now out of production. Other lines will stay on the catalogue while they have stock, and callers were advised to buy now. They were then told that Forge World are reviewing the entire epic line to see if its finnancially worth continueing, and some staff hinted that they thouight this unlikely.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
Anyone know more?
so the answer is.... they are redoing EPIC (total conjecture on my part)

Congrats.
You are TFG!
At Games Workshop, we believe that how you behave does matter. We believe this so strongly that we have written it down in the Games Workshop Book. There is a section in the book where we talk about the values we expect all staff to demonstrate in their working lives. These values are Lawyers, Guns and Money.

Pho indignation *IS* the tastiest form of angry!
Oh man guys, one time I met all these Americans, they were so abusive to languages, I had to call the language abuse hotline! Then they went home and ate McDonald's every day and it was just like the show Friends! Then they tried to tell me they invented the Internet and Mathematics, but 95% of them couldn't even find a country on a map! They all loved George W. Bush too! Surprise! Man, silly Americans are so dumb and abusive to languages, and they just don't get irony!
I bet the Geheimsache will turn out to be Space Hulk though. Brimstone is a pretty smart dude, after all. I bet he even gets irony all the time.

Likely, it'll be well received but, seemingly on a whim, GW will shelf the project, only to turn around and license the name to FFG, so they can put out a superior product as a faster rate, and still make the game fun.
That's what *I* think will happen.
