We'll know when it's midnight in the UK.

Just 4 hours then.

I'm on the edge.

The owner told me that he was told by the GW salesrep that Nids IS coming in dec, and that the news mail (to the shops) will go out this monday. "

Stop playing with my emotions people!

New box art and horm/term boxes briefly appeared when I went onto the GW site.
Gone again now.
Screen cap:


Please let me know If I'm wrong and these have always been like this.
I'm just average Joe sat at my computer, but I got pretty exited when I saw this.
Can anyone confirm if these are new?

Look normal to me...

Don't recognise the Warrior box art either.
Anyone confirm if this is new?

If they were to update the box art, I'm sure they'd use the generic gradient backdrop that the new Eldar and Space Marine boxes have, instead of the old scenic backdrops with special effects for gunfire, etc.

Pretty certain those are the old boxes.

Doesn't the head look like the old "screamer killer" rather than the current one?
Also, I've been told Horms and terms used to be sold together in 5th ed?

Maybe we are just seeing old images from previous editions, but why would they be on the GW site?

EDIT.

Ok, people seem to be pretty sure these are just old images, sorry if. I got anyone's hopes up.
I must be grasping at straws in my excitement.

Carnifxes is definitely the existing box.

TO confirm, for instance, look at Dark SPhere, which has the old box art:

Re WArriors, who knows, but I'd be pretty certain it's not the harbinger of something new. Although we live in hope...

All of the Warrior, Carnifex, and Gaunts/Termagaunts are from existing editions.

The Termagants and Hormagaunts used to be sold in packs of 8 and 8. That's the old boxart for the Carnifex and Warriors.

Nuts, sorry guys.
Not trying to troll or be a jerk, just got a little over exited as we are expecting updates by midnight. Thought I got lucky, I should have been more careful before I posted.

Apologies.

Melonmelon practically retracted his statement immediately after shah posted about his LGS. saying he's been "tricked" before by his retailer, then linking to a post where he predicted blood bowl in the 3rd week of November.

Looks like pretre needs to add 2 "FALSE" marks to melonmelon's record.

I need pizza, watching this thread is more interesting than sitting here making ice bases for models.

Link?

I just checked Google's cache of GW's images folder and there are no new images of Nids in there so if its going on the site they have not pre loaded anything.

Why is everyone so adamant that GW is planning on releasing a teaser video tonight or tomorrow?

When the Dark Elves were teased in a video, it was released on September 25th. Pre-orders went live on September 28th, only 3 days later. By this logic, we may not even see a teaser trailer for Decembers release until the middle of next week, possibly Wednesday.

Because we are eternal optimists.

It's always the second last weekend in the month though isn't it, or am I mistaken?

Launches are usually the first saturday of the month.

Not usually, pre-orders go live 1 week before release and the trailers and product codes sent to retailers typically are released only 2-3 days before then.

With pre-orders being posted the Saturday beforehand, and a teaser video appearing on the Monday preceding that. It is a bit odd, however, that GW has not updated the White Dwarf Daily yet today, this usually only happens on a day when pre-orders go up, or some other big announcement is made. Maybe their changing the normal schedule to avoid making the announcement on Black Friday here Stateside?

That's only one false. I added it to his log though. 7 True, 1 False.

Space Marine teaser video went up on August 27th, Tuesday before pre-orders were made available.
