Soooo.... Space Slann, in other words. You want Space Slann.

(Hint: It is NOT by constantly complaining about them on Dakka.)

Look I've been peeing in the corner of the local GW for over six months now and they are still stocking space marine stuff...

Funny enough my brother managed that years ago. I´ll always wonder how he convinced her to let him drive. He was lucky that the phone relay he smashed was due to be removed

On the new race discussion I´ll go with Emo twylight looking marines, there is a big market gap there that GW needs to cover ASAP

I suppose this is where we end up, 9 pages into something that is in reality most likely nothing...

They've already got that in CSM, though.

Oh feth, what if they do that with DE? Not that it'd be much of a stretch...god, can you imagine Edward Cullen leading a kabal, god. Way to kill my enthusiasm.

Not even just CSM though.

Blood Angels used to be defined as that general "Woe is me, I'm doomed to look this good!" category.

Heck. Dark Angels are pretty emo when you think about it too...

I can´t wait for the new "Why-me?" Archons and the "Heavy-on-Kohl" dyed wytches.

Hopefully it will be the Dark Angels codex Update... where they will add all that FAQ nonsense about your opponent having fun vs you having fun, into our codex.

Yeah Old Ones would be awesome . . . 1500pt battle . . . one Old one . . . and you would still win =p

And yes working for GW has it's benefits, but not as many as it used to. The studio and HQ have really been clamping down on who knows what.

I really don't get why this thread is still running. There is no new race being announced. Yes, there is a big secret to be revealed, but GW says it's something they haven't done before. So no update to an existing codex.

OK, GW definitely deserved that one...

Dropping prices?

Yeah right.

My 2 cents is Id love to see the Space Skaven, or Sprats as was mentioned earlier.

And for the slann/lizards are we not forgetting how cool Trandosians in star wars look? Lizards with big guns.

But i have to say, its going to either be a) nothing, b) Space marine chapter, or c) if were lucky AdMech.

The sad thing is this will probably happen.

From the Amsterdam Red Shirt: they don't know anything but look in the rulebook and codex books for new stuff, but whatever you do, DON'T go apeshit bananas over every new bit of art or scenery.

So, basically, just keep guessing?

I think it's all a setup anyway.

I hope it is a new S&M chapter.

Sprats are a kind of fish in the UK.

I just got an email from my purple-shirt source at the GW HQ in Dubrovnik. The new army is going to be Space Uruk-Hai for 40k, they're supposed to be like meaner and stronger orks that aren't green. They're pretty excited about it too because it's their first 40K / Lord of the Rings crossover army, kind of like star wars transformers where they took 2 things that just don't match and somehow made it awesome.

I think a codex: Xenos would be nice. Bendies, demiurg, more kroot options etc. with the ability to be inducted by Tau or played as an individual force. There is a lot of room in the fluff for this idea and It would have the added bonus of making the anime fan tau players quit whining.

BoLS posted their round up of the rumours on this mystery release on 5 July. Nothing about a new race.

-Product announcement on 15-16th August, with a ship date in September.

-August/september they are selling a box set for around £50. (@$70 USD)

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

-It is something that GW has never done before.

-Some local stores are only getting one shipment; when that sells out it will no longer be available.

-You can't advance order it. You have to be there on the day to get it.

-It is not Planetary Empires.

-It is a board game.

-Very limited GW people know what it is. Blueshirts have indicated what they know and the Blackshirts avoid questions.

-Likely to be 40K related, but not definitely confirmed.

Yeah, that pony has been beaten to death some time ago.

maybe its the barghesi?

Gallifreyans?

From the Amsterdam Red Shirt: they don't know anything but look in the rulebook and codex books for new stuff, but whatever you do, DON'T go apeshit bananas over every new bit of art or scenery

The Imperius Dominatus (big space map) speaks of a race named the hyper-violent Barghesi. Some one already suggested them but I think they could be supported since they also come from the eastern fringe like the Tau (asian market).

Why are you still guessing? Srsly you guyz, it's not a new race.

Fired up the PDF rule book when i got to work to have a look at the map. Theres also the Thexian Elite.

Could be a new Guard regiment, seeing as several rather obscure regiments were introduced.

But GW has done that before, haven't they?
