So apparently the game has a name...

Innocence - A Warhammer 40,000 Skirmish Game.

November release alongside the smaller release of the rest of the DE stuff.

Nids are getting a January release :-(

Well, I think I'm not the only who would never expect the game to be called "Innocence". Are we sure that's the name on the box?

If that is true at all it sounds distinctly like a working title; distinct, not too long and can go lots of directions in further design.

That's what I was going to say. It's most probably not the final title. Or not all of it.

Maybe on the cover we see: "Inquisition" then below in smaller letters "Innocence proves nothing".

Just to play devil's advocate: Wouldn't that make it too generic?The recent big boxes released by GW have been a bit more specific. Assault on Black Reach, Battle for Skull Pass, Hoo-haa on Blood Island, Debby does Dusseldorf, GrimDark Vengeance...

That kind of title would make it appear generic and long lasting... surely that can't be the plan? [/sarcasm]

Could very well be a working title, but I can see "Innocence" working as well.

Innocence might prove nothing in 40k, but it sure as heck can get you possessed by a gibbering hellbeast quick.

Your insistence on this title formatting sounds suspicious. Very much so.

Suspicious?

I think he thinks Kroot "knows" that this is the title.

Maybe even 'I've seen the box art' knows?

But really, it is just a rather 'famous' 40K phrase...that would make a good title for a 40K Skirmish scale INQ game!

Err, you know. Inquisition, paranoia, suspicion... No? Okay.

Those are all starter sets for 40k and WFB, though. Actual boxed games released by GW have short names; Necromunda, GorkaMorka, Mordheim, Dreadfleet, etc. Either Warhammer 40,000: Inquisition or Innocence would follow that naming convention. Though I would agree Kroot is probably right on the money and It will be WH40k Inquisition: Innocence Proves Nothing. Sort of like the Grim Darkness tagline for 40k.

Exactly, Starfarer. "Assault on Black Reach" is a starter set, not a game. The corresponding game's name is not so specific.

Sounds kind of cool. You know what sounds cooler ?

Getting all the codex updated before releasing side games !

Orks have been waiting how long now ?

But hey lets take time to make this instead of re doing the codex from 2008.....GW is beyond frustrating.....

The one thing people probably shouldn't be complaining about in regards to GW is their current release schedule. A 40k codex every 2 months is pretty insane. Combined with supplements and a rapid string of Fantasy books. Honestly, if GW get Orks out next year (which seems likely) they'll still be 4 years ahead of the previous lifespan of the Ork Codex.

My complaint is newer books are getting redone before older ones. Marines and nids both had newer books than the current ork codex, yet still are getting new things before the orks.

Yes they release things faster, but the order sucks.

Marines always release faster than Xenos. Codex marines get a new book every edition. As for Nids (allegedly) getting a new book before orks? They need it more.

The faster they get all the codexes updated the faster they have to put out Seventh Edition and render it pointless.

Don't get your panties in a bunch.

Inquisition is my flavor, I hope this set is real

I absolutely agree -- and I'm still hoping for a SoB dex one day.

Nids needing it more is a matter of opinion.

Yes, I dont want orks to be the last 6th then have them change to 7th rendering it pointless.

At least SoB got some kind of update.

So the =I= game is back on? Awesome, crank the excite-o-meter back up to 10.

Yeah, I'm sure Ork players would be totally satisfied with a OOP WD dex ...

Orks will get a Sixth Edition update, there's no reasonable doubt of that. And given GW's current pace of releases, it'll be sooner rather than later.

Don't get me wrong, I hope there will be a Inquisitor-type game released. But I don't know if there's a good reason to believe this is real.

QFT, really hoping this is something at least loosely based on =I=

Nids are going to get a new codex because they are still the best selling Xenos of all. They get a codex every edition (the only xenos army for this still to be true).

Come back in another 5 years and complain about orks. You're still only at half their previous shelf life.

On Topic I will froth at the mouth for an Inq. skirmish game. I think it would sell like hotcakes and if they keep it in production will be a long term money maker for them.

So it is ok for an army that got released in Jan 2010 to get updated before an army who got released in jan 2008 ?

I don't have high hopes for a new =I= skirmish game after the dreadfleet game.

Can we get off this Ork side-track? We get it, you want a new codex. Take it to another thread.

If Dan Abnett is writing the background fluff for it then I will literally blow a hemmeroid.

That's quite sick man - I just had Cheesecake with Raspberries in it too

OT - will be saving some money for this, maybe just for the minis though

I don't think that's the approved treatment.
