Last thing I heard was 10th or 11th April anyway.

That's a great idea! That way, if anything goes wrong, they'll have the entire long weekend to not fix it.

Well we did get 'A' GW website update today, even if it was not 'THE' GW website update we were expecting

so you'll need to check each rumour to see if the language is fuzzy enough for that to count

This is great news, now there's even less confusing information and unwelcome social commentary to get in the way of you spending money on fantastic new Games Workshop products!

No one likes discussing their favorite Games Workshop hobby with total strangers, nor actually playing a game against them. Therefore Games Workshop has determined that the best way to protect our valued customers from unwanted social interaction is to remove ourselves from all social media, while simultaneously discouraging gaming at all Games Workshop Hobby Centres in hopes of driving ourselves completely out of business.

Remember, we value all customer feedback, so make sure to drop us a line at... oh, wait, never mind, we just finished severing all lines of communication with our customer base. We don't give a flying feth about your feedback, just send us more money!

I'm tempted to copy that and e-mail it to GW customer service.

Well the day is done, but according to the GW finecalendar™The 7th comes when they darn well feel like it.

They could be basing it on a different time zone (it's only 10 here). Doubtful, but it's a possibility.

Hah! I love on Warhammer world, in "Games Workshop's Displays" when viewing the pics, X takes you to the next picture and the arrow closes the picture viewer .

Nah mate, GW deliberately made their crosses look like arrows and arrows look like crosses so they can own the designs.

Something 'is coming' apparently, GW site into maintenance mode. Or otherwise a coincidence!

Pic for the workblocked.

Definitely doesn't seem, from the image, to be a normal maintenance.

Am I seeing things or is the sprue in the top-right corner a new model? Looks like a power armored guy with a power fist and a storm bolter.

Pretty sure that's the SM Captain sprue.

Wait, no - wrong backpack, right?

I've not seen it before.

Are you confusing it with the new plastic "not-Sicarius"?

It's something new alright, maybe a sneak peek at a special gift for people who order X-amount of stuff in the coming week?

Or something you get to buy at full retail after spending X amount.

Loyalist backpack, so who cares?

Maybe its one of the 12415 SM snowflakes..? There are more than enough special characters, librarians, champions, chapter masters, company commanders, Terminator sergeants, veteran swordbrotherwolflordfathers and whatnot...

Probably the masses of Space Marine players out there.

<-- This guy.

The cape looks like it has stuff all over it. Tiny skull ornaments perhaps?

Exciting! Lol maybe 10% off the first day from the entire store....:/

So it's a terminator chaplain..?

As long as he's not the price of the current Captain.

I'm an Ultramarines player and love the Rogue Trader era UM Captain but the last incarnation breached my price point.

My guess is a plastic Chapter Master.

Perhaps it's a limited edition space marine character as a pre-order bonus for 40K 7th Edition?

Rumors have suggested that (if it exists) it could launch as early as May, so the timing is more or less right. Maybe.

But why does the cloak have fist sized skulls all over it? Not even flat skull decorations. Skulls.

It should be noted that the forgeworld website is up and running at this time.

Plastic sisters of battle. Calling it.

Zoomed in, it actually does look like a Sister.

Our patience will be 'rewarded'...

Way too bulky for a sister. Also, the back of the head looks bald.
