Obviously you are the only one who remembers the good ol' days where announcing a global event isn't "considered a special web event".

Also, why do we care that you're officially unsubscribed to a thread that was overhyped by people's imaginations?

Completely agree with this Kanluwen.

To be fair the OP said there was to be a big announcement.
If this is what was put up on the website, whether we expected the second coming or a free decal sheet of BA nipples is irrelevant.
This is not a big announcement. Or is it cos I'm getting old, you know, like, back in the day Mars Bars and Wagon Wheels* were so much bigger than now.

or substitute fondly recalled childhood chocolate confectionary of choice.

It might be the first time, but I totally agree with you Kan.

new DK would make more sense than new DE, DG or DH.

It's all a load of Gak.

GW, making the most unimportant announcements in the history of waffle.....

**burning_phoneix**

A mere two sentences announcing something big a mere three days later?

Come on guys, you really only have yourselves to blame for expecting something huge from this.

No, two sentences announcing an announcement of something big.

This is the link which says that there's a big announcement. It just so happens to be on the bottom of the Warhammer Island of Blood launch, which isn't 40K but it still had people on here saying it was DE, Necrons, Nids etc, etc.

I said it, as did other people on here but far more eloquently than I did; for some people this will be big news, to others it won't be because they're not interested, don't collect, don't play.

Moaning like spoilt brats just because it doesn't involve you, that's just silly! Why should it involve 40K when they are launching Warhammer?
