54mm is the scale of Inquisitor.

It's an Inquisitor scale Grot.

Could be a revival of one of their ancient board games with large scale miniatures that they used to sell in blisters. A bit farfetched though.

For those of you thinking you are going to be popping into your store for a 'mystery box' - it's ANNOUNCED in August for SALE in September.

If they announcing it as a Mystery box then GW has officially gone bonkers. They would have finally stooped to the depths of shock value.

Its probably the resin indomitable fortress, either way though once the sucker is popped open or leaked that will either make you want it or not.

Personally I dont really give a crap because Canada wont see it since when anything like this comes by we get the yanks leftovers.

Orkquisitor ???

GorkaMorka in 54mm??

The mind boggles.

54mm and Ork?

Count me out. I don't want a game that isn't compatible with 40K (ie. not on the same scale).

And I have to say that I side with Yahtzee when it comes to hype like this - it's more likely to make me suspicious than excited.

Being in Amsterdam, I'm sure that there's other reasons why they could all be sharing that particular look...

Well, the Red Light district is several blocks away and the staff has a strict policy of only hiring non-smoking straight laces, so they've got be struck by the slow.

It is a Games Workshop store Brook. I don't think any of them were ever 'struck' by the slow. It came along with them.

Funny you should mention that! Sought a little clarification from my local Manager today. Now, pinch of salt on hand for this as ever, though kudos to Ramon for being the first to confess this is only what he's been told, and may not be accurate at all!

It is up for pre-order as of the 17th of August, when all will be revealed. So until we can order it, it's a mystery. As soon as it hits the Website, we'll know what we are ordering.

Personally, I suspect we might be seeing a splash re-release of Warhammer Quest. No real reason for this like!

Maybe it's an Imperial Guard deserter kit.

Depending on how you read those clues, it could be Space Hulk. Really hoping it's not something inquisitor scale, even if it is orks.

I'm thinking that Mad Doc has the right of it - the 3D terrain for space hulk will be limited to this first wave, then whatever after will be cardstock terrain.

If it's some crazy stand-along board game, then I'm down for that too.

Christ I should just start selling black boxes on Ebay that say GW mystery box and see how many suckers I can get.

People used to do that with Yugioh cards. "When someone wins this acution, I'll roll a 6 sided die. If it comes up 5 or 6, I'l send the super awesome mega thing everyone wants, if it's 3 or 4 I'll send the second most awesome thing everyone wants, and if it's 1 or 2, I'll send 10 super rare cards!" Of course anyone bidding found it to always be 10 of the crappiest super rares available. It's probably a GW version of Chainmail. Why? Because noone asked for it.

FYT

You are swan to secrecy!

Maybe it's a LE of Space Hulk with models for Space Corridors and Industrial Towers? To compete with that other company that makes them?

I doubt it is a new game or such since FFG seems to be doing those.

I'm guessing a 54mm ork trophy of somesort. Like those goofy vinyl marines from some years ago.

IIRC, FFG have the license for non-miniature based games. GW retained the rights to the ones where the Mini's are an integral part of the game?

yeah,
Replica weapons...? which would bore me...
Limited Ed. Clothing?

Something like DarkFuture, but set inside the 40k universe?

'The bomb is dropped' kinda still means it's something we will want....
SpaceHulk is the only option, or am I blind to other ideas by my want!

Panic...

Everyone knows that it's going to be a set of microscope slides...

with pieces of Jervis' head on it....



(A guy can dream, can't he?)

yeah,
'The bomb is dropped' a realm of battle board tile that's one big crater...

Panic...

Actually its grab bags full of items nobody has wanted for years or have been sitting in the bitz boxes and they cant get rid of. They have never done it before, its not race specific, and it will be filled with old Inquisitor stuff, WFB, 40K necrumunda, etc... Hurry and get your before they are gone!!!!

Inquisitor and Necromunda stuff I can dig, if it's piles of unsold DE on the other hand..

I'm telling yeah, it's going to be Warhammer 40k Quest and it is going to be frick-en SWEET!

Doesn't Talisman use minis? Would Space Hulk be a mini game or a board game? Hard to tell.

Talisman uses minis, but it's not integral to the game such as BB or SH. Black Industrie's version came with cardboard cutouts so they weren't too interested in pushing the hobby aspect.

Well, that would make absolutely no sense at all. Seems worth a try...

Generally expansions see a drop-off from the original product. If SH sells 100,000, SH Expansion 1 would be doing great to sell 90,000, likely to only sell 50,000... There's people that buy it, play it once, and never look at it again, people that love it but just can't afford a copy, extra sets bought if the bits are useful for 40k, etc.

Justifying molds might be difficult. (Although I think if they can make the molds dual-purpose for Space Hulk and CoD/Planetstrike it'd be a win-win.
