Bloodbowl was never my cup of tea (the rules are brilliantly designed)

Eh no, when the game basically just ends up either stalling or caging and extremely unbalanced teams it does not suggest that the rules were brilliantly designed.

Well I can't say I'm an expert as I only played a few games, the rules seemed very fun and the games ran incredibly smoothly. I dunno, I've never been a competitive player (of any system) and I don't have a great eye for rules but from my (extremely limited) experience they seemed incredibly fun, just not something I'm really into. I suppose 'brilliant' might of been hyperbole...

Anyway, this topic ain't about Bloodbowl so I best stay on topic.

GW, you now have my attention for the first time in over a year. Don't screw this up.

I will definitely be interested in getting this. Damn. This, and C:SM are going to kill my wallet 7 different ways. I still have stuff for my CD and DA to get too. WHHHHYYYYYY.

I loved this when I first heard this rumor, I love it now. I just hope it won't be limited not so much for myself, but for everyone else. I'm gonna get it as soon as it comes out, no doubt about it, but I'd like to find people to play with or get more models down the line if they're as nice as I'm expecting.

About 2 or 3 years too late for me to buy in, but good news nonetheless.

I really hope there are Deathwatch models in this game. If there are I will transform my entire space marine army into Deathwatch! Burn the Xenos!

I really hope this involves models that are unique and more interesting than the basic 40K ranges. This could be the first time I buy a stupidly expensive thing from GW.

i dont know if this box will be true or not...
but i cant really beleive that GW that is closing Specialist games will make a new skirmish game just after having closed Necromunda...
If this boxed game will be true i expect a limited edition boardgame... something like a Inquisitorial version of Star Quest...
My 2 cents

Well, if it's a skirmish game, I think converting an entire army might be a bit much! Considering a single 1-3 Marines in Necromunda could probably obliterate an entire gang, I wouldn't expect to see more than a handful, if that.

I think it's believable that they'd want to just cut everything and start over fresh. Sucks since I love Necromunda, but not surprising.

Looooook at the dark vengeance plastics. The plastic potential is near limitless. Feeeeeel the desire coursing through you. Now pick up your Wallet. SPEND, and your journey to the dark side will be complete!

I'm in.
I even pledge to paint it all within one week of purchase!

Under this window!

This is the same thing said when folks thought their was no way Allies were going to be allowed in 6th. I think this makes the best sense start from scratch use the new plastic models and go from there.

My sentiments exactly. If the game can be played as an enjoyable skirmish game that's capable of using the swiss-cheese 40k terrain that nearly every gamestore has (and that Infinity is basically incapable of using), I may buy into this game.

And that's from a guy who's been GW free for about 3 years now.

My guess is GW will be destroying remaining copies of these by December.

They keep toying with skirmish games and keep abandoning them. It's like they're trying to quit smoking and relapsing.

Still bitter about Dreadfleet?

They didn't manage to destroy the remaining copies of that Gem the published by the name of Dreadfleet. I have seen several copies of that for sale recently.
*** Doh. Ninja'd.

If it has 40k scaled minis that could be used in 40k/Necromunda/Inq28 in any way whatsoever, it'll sell like hotcakes. Rumor has it that that's kind of the point, so it'll sell.

But only an extremely limited number, to a few thousand people worldwide, and then never again.

I think the thinking is that veterans will be attracted to it, because the models will be compatable with their existing collections, and that newcomers will be attracted to 40k, since they'll already have some models in the box set that they can use in the "main game".

I'm definitely interested.

Now I just need to pray for a Ravenor model.
Please please please please......

I would hope that the kits are diverse enough and the rules open enough to encourage lots of customization and diversity. Give us some basic frames for our Inquisitors and their entourages, and then let us go crazy putting them together. That would get me all hot and bothered pretty quickly.

And if it allowed expansion from outside models, even better. I have a bunch of inquisition themed models that would love to get some action.

This could be the best release by GW in over a decade, or it'll be useless one and done with not enough produced for everyone who wants one.

It is my hope that even if the rules/game is garbage, it will be adding high-quality models to interesting areas of the range (odd-xenos for Tau, HQs for Guard and Grey Knights, Cultists and HQs for Chaos).
I can hope...

I doubt they'll just cherry pick some random dudes for random armies in the game.

No, I mean they'll likely be making some interesting new xenos, chaos, and inquisitor retinues models that will look great converted for, or just added into actual 40k armies.
A couple odd xenos alone would be great for giving more variation to converted/indoctrinated Tau squads.

It's to much of a smart move to release a supported 40k skirmish game that people would buy in droves. GW will simply not do it as they will most probably believe that it will cut into there other sales. If anything it will be a limited release with a set of models ala space hulk I.e not generic models but characters.

i am intrigued, i hope it is Inquistomunda with some nice plastic figures

I'm the lone dissenter. Very disappointed. I would much rather have had a Blood Bowl game. The problem as I see it is that BB lends itself much more to being a one-off box release that can be pumped out and requires little or no after-support whereas something like Inquisition, whilst it can be released stand alone, would seem to require or at least benefit more from continuing support and further releases to supplement the box set and I can't see GW providing that support.

Considering the nature of GW these days, I'd be much happier with a good pump-and-dump over a long running product steadily run further and further into the ground.

Maybe the omnipresence of Inquisitorial warbands modelled and painted in WD has been leading up to this.
