So, it is probably Space Hulk and it is LIMITED?

Huh?

Though the "For now there are no plans to sell space hulk in more than 1 print - this is limited edition" thing is a bit of an 'out clause'...

Still, huh?

Limited could mean a special first run with extras, such as two metal models. Further runs could be the same only minus the metals.

That's what I've been led to believe and say for a while now.

I hope I'm wrong but .. sadly, I don't think I am.

Love to be though.

Looks like everyone's going to try and order three boxes now.

One to play with, one to keep for later, and one to sell on eBay for $120 USD.

yeah,
Just one to play with for me, I think!

Now can I be bothered to sell off my second edition now?
or just keep it for the extra 'nids...

Panic...

whats the date again? and is it only going to be sold at GW stores??

Hah. So everything we've been told... was true all along? That's some weak performance.

I hope this is available on GW's web store too...

Otherwise, this will get real ugly, real quick.

It would indeed make the Tshirts rather stupid, and take the credibility away from their new rumor department on the site before it's even up.

Way too go GW

And for that price, will we get Black Reach quality Terminators? Otherwise the 2x Terminators + Genestealers box leaves little value left for the terrain. Or will it truly be a bargain and will it be the normal miniatures + 2 metal figures and quality terrain for the 90 euro/50 pounds?

Idk, unless the terrain is really really good it looks like this will save me some money.

Except that when eBay gets glutted with a bunch of these all at once a lot of people selling them are going to be disappointed in the considerably lower amounts of money they are making than what they had hoped.

I'm guessing one of the metals is the Broodlord green we saw a while back?

Which might mean the other one is a Terminator Librarian?

Well all the talk over at BoLS's new 'Lounge' (can we call it Warseer Mk.II and be done with it?) is pre-paints.

Not good.

I doubt it's space hulk, if anything I'd expect something like pre paints since it's supposed to be something they never did before

Prepaints? Utter crap

I was in a GW store today and the sales guy told me that GW was releasing "a new game" at the end of September. blah blah blah

Grain of salt.

Why is it that every time I've said that they're considering this for Space Hulk since January, everyone jumps down my throat and says that it will never happen, but once it comes from Taco BoLS, it's suddenly news?

Sheeple are easily led by the big names. In their eyes "small fry" don't count, welcome to the club.

whats the release date??????????????????????????????????????

So...I'm still failing to comprehend the whole t-shirt thing. Do they seriously think they're all that clever or what?

Seriously...I have the same thought. Why the T-shirts?

"Why the T-shirts?" Again, the T-shirts are promoting the GW website and have nothing directly to do with the "Mystery Box" any more or less than any other GW product.

Yes, I think that's been established.

Lets move away from the T-shirts!

Or is it just more misdirection? OOoo... The plot thickens.

Careful! Don't complain too much about the t-shirts. Next they'll just have hairy guys staffing the stores, shirtless, with "Seriously, you shouldn't have complained about the t-shirts" shaved into their chest and back hair.

Funny, and disturbing!

Anyway ... everything you have been told is a lie. Dark Angels worship the chaos gods.

Had a quick chat with a blue shirt today.

It's an empty cardboard box with brown wrapping over it and a felt tip question mark drawn on it.





But really, he did say a couple of things.

He was saying it's not space hulk or the thunderhawk.

Believe that what you will. He did however repeat the 'its a brand new game' line but the actual possible 'new' information is.

They will have a couple of copies of the game in the store on August 17th and people will be able to play it. He also added, he was only told that on the phone on Tuesday

So that really does suggest to me at least, that it is a game, so at the very least HQ are phoning around to say, "hey, leave your calendar open for games that day."

My own theorizing says, it's probably "The Space Crusades of the Necromundian Inquisitor Kill Teams attacking Tyranids on Gorkamorkan hulks."

In other words, probably a kind of LOTR SBG style 40k

The T-shirt is what makes it a limited edition that sells out as a single run.

Like the Collectors 40k rulesets.

Yes, but I think you are missing the point.

They have those Tshirts to promote their website, including their supposedly new(?) news and rumors section, and they are using the slogans "Everything you've been told is a lie" and "The emperor (aka their website in this case) is the only truth" in an attempt to lure people from sites like this one to theirs because according to them the only truth can be found at their website.

In other words: everything we've been told (on sites like this one) is a lie and they are the only credible source.

But IF the mystery box really is Space Hulk then they have been the ones lying, and the rumor sites have been right all along, which would obviously make the whole idea behind the Tshirts quite a mockery. Thát is why the mystery box is being linked to the Tshirts.
