GW is about to enter the skirmish scene.........

40K was originally a skirmish game (it there are still faint traces of this origin in the current rules). GW made a quite deliberate decision to kill off the last vestiges of their old (and frankly very good) Skirmish games a couple of months ago so it seems odd that they will be creating a brand new one, although I expect it will be their usual 'limited edition and no post release support' model.

At least this game (if it exists) seems to be moving away from the (very) tired old WHFB mechanics that have been dragged around for nearly 3 decades now. It may even be good but I have extremely low hopes.

28mm Eisenhorn and Arbites? Yes please!

I suspect the space battle game would be made to the same scale as X-wing so we can play across IP's!

Please...just no. I'm not up to date on the current length of GW ships, but if I saw thunderhawks dogfighting with X wings I think I might suffer some kind of WTF induced brain aneurism. Star Wars ships cram even more unbelievability per square meter into their setting than 40k does (something the same size/smaller than current fighter jets with a functional hyperdrive, automated self repair system, 4 laser weapons, and one missile rack that is a threat against substantially larger craft? Why are they building anything else than swarms of X wings?)

I hope its not blood bowl. I really hope its not blood bowl. This inquisitor game, though, seems interesting. Hope its that. Just not ever blood bowl again, ever. GW doesn't know American Football and the premise of blood bowl is terrible. Save your money and buy last years version of Madden.

Could an more detailed inquisition based game not step on the toes of their existing license with FFG?

If that was the case then I would be dubious about this rumour.

I'd just like a model for that awesome tech priest guy with the massive drill for an arm that would turn you to paste if he scratched you with it.

At least if its 28mm and the rules are pretty good we can just get a copy of them and play the game as long as we want. But blood bowl is utter crap.

I think this is a more detailed version of Necromunda than something along the lines of Dark Heresy and its other ranges.

If this even hints at Necromunda i want to see a 28mm model of the Redeemer.


SCOURGE AND PURGE!

Sounds great... as long as its 28mm anyway... any other scale would be madness, thats why Dreadfleet failed.... no conversion possibilities. Its that simple.

I'm curious what you specifically don't like about Blood Bowl, I personally have good impressions of it and it is quite popular in a store I visit.

My understanding is it's a mix of rugby and football (American), but it always seemed to me to draw much more heavily from the football-side. Plus with the zaniness the game gets into its not hard to see how it doesn't follow perfectly, but I always loved seeing teams parodied on NFL teams (i.e. Orkland Raiders) and felt the concept came along well enough to call it "fantasy football" (which always throws people for a loop!)

Sounds interesting. A cross between necromunda and inquisitor but easier to play...

For me this is a more exciting prospect then blood bowl.

When have previous mystery boxes been released? September? With preorders in August?

There was also the Limited Edition Black Library version.

Also Brook, there already WAS a 28mm Eisenhorn(also courtesy of Black Library):

Right, knew I forgot something. I always ignored those overpriced limited edition vignettes from BL.

Heh, check out that quality casting right there. I like the bent over spikes and the wonky pole on that staff. Ah well, that's metal for you. Hard to cast and worse to work with. I assembled 2 vespids and swore to never have anything to do with metal models again!

Also, is he supposed to look like he has 4 horns on his head? I own the Inquisitor rulebook and I do not remember that feature, you'd think with all the staring i did at the amazing paintjobs on those oversized minis I would have.

Have you actually played Blood Bowl on the tabletop? Jervis has said before that it could have been GW's third "core" game since it's actually very popular, especially in Europe. And who gives a goddamn if they don't "get" American football? It's a different (if similar) game. I don't care about Blood Bowl, but a lot of people play it and enjoy it.

I played blood bowl for a season and enjoyed it.

WHAT!!?!?!!?!

H-how did i not know about the Redeemer model? I must have him. I neeeeeeeed him. A pox on you GW for no longer producing him.

Of course though typical me, find out about the model i've wanted for ages only after it's been discontinued. To ebay it is then.

Bloodbowl or inq. either works for me.
A small game of 5-15 models that i can convert until my hearts content and ill be happy.

I can actually justify spending £20 or so per model for something like that to make my own team/warband.

Hmm. Salty.

I have/had high hopes for Blood Bowl, I was hoping a resurgence in interest in people would prompt me to get back to work on my Chaos Stadium, decorated in the decor of the 4 gods of Chaos which teams from each god pit against each other...a sort of monsterball game if you will.

In his words, "If it doesn't hurt, it doesn't count."

If it comes with good cheap terrain ala necromunda, then great. Or if it could be expanded to gang level fighting, also a good thing. I however would prefer a newer version of bloodbowl. Love the game, it's the only GW thing I still play. If they revitalized necromunda I'd be all over that as well. But just small scale 40k.....I can live without that.

Loved that game

Seriously, same boat as a few people considering we see theses Inq war bands pop up in the WD and giving SG a bit of the boot.
There is a lot of ideas that GW could do......and it will never be what everyone wants. Look at Apoc.....Khornemower

I'm a bit more worried about it being based off the Blanche artwork. I realize there are lots of people out there who like his stuff but I'm definitely not one of them. For me, the Blanche Black Library art book was an instant sell whereas the Goodwin one was a definite keeper.

I have to agree. The last thing we need is a bunch of scribble-art inspired 40K models that don't fit with regular 40K models.

Of course that'd be just like GW - Release a one-off game with models specifically incompatible with regular 40K and then wonder why people are unhappy.

i could not disagree more...
i have been a Blanche fan for 25 years, and i'm in this hobby for the minis...
i will be pre-ordering this box (if it happens) just as fast as i did Space Hulk...

i would love some Inq. 28 minis...
i have that BL vignette, and it is a horrible sculpt...
i doubt i will ever be able to bring myself to paint it...
the 54mm one is one of my favorite minis, though, so it's cool to have a Mini-Me version...

cheers

I haven't seen any hate for it yet. It's just not what people want to see from GW from this release.

Try harder. There are several posts above that simply rip on gw for no real reason.
