I wouldn't expect "one of each" kind of potential HVT for an assassin target.
I would expect it to be a kind of story box, with one opposing force to the assassins. Chaos is a great bet, since it can be anything from an apostate cardinal to a daemonically possessed governor.

Ah so this is what the manager at my local was being so secretive about! All he said was that they had received special T-Shirts some new release and that was appearantly a big deal these days - AdMech didn't warrant it for example.
Whethe it's this or something else (Dreadfleet 2nd Edition anyone? ) It's definitely on sale this Saturday so I'll swing by on the way home from Salute as take a gander.

But Chaos just makes me feel meh the recent Codecies(sp) were rather bland? Again being rather Legion Neutral and only the black legion supplement had any theme .
As far as I understand only a single Assassin would be deployed vs a high value target 4 Assassin's 4 targets?

I more excited about what kind of villains make an appearance than I am the actual assassins. I'm sure the assassins will be cool, but there's a lot of awesome potential xenos HQ characters or one-off, RT type baddies they could make like Cult Magii, Apostate Cardinals, Dark Mechanicus, or Rogue Psykers.

As much as I want them I honestly doubt we will see anything other than a chaos lord and some goons.

GW board games are a great value. A couple of nights at the movies with the kids, one nice date, one sports event ticket, two video games (or one with DLC ) are all comparable in price and most offer fewer hours if entertainment.

I'm starting to look forward to this one. Really curious how the rules will work and there could be a lot of potential there if GW decides it's more than a limited release. Having the assassins face off against various factions (besides those in the core set) could give the system some legs.

I'm very excited for this, looks like we could be coming up on a new age of mini games! I really see no reason why GW can't devote their resources on several boxed sets of games. Come to think of it, a return of Battefleet Gothic style game with plastic models of various factions may be a huge hit, considering the popularity of X-Wing.
They sure are shaking things up this year!

Yeah, and maybe they're drop their prices in half, fully embrace digital technology, start giving out codex and rulebook rules for free to encourage model sales like other companies, and stop suing people for using the adjective "space" in front of the noun "marine". Hey, since we're just throwing pennies into the pool, I figured I'd list my nickel's worth.

Is that a rumor, guess, or joke?

Probably intentional to try and pull in some salute money and distract from the event
I doubt it ever factored in, only FW have cared about salute for a while now. Lots of people who might have pre-ordered if they hadn't gone overboard on deals from Salute itself.
Still, if this turns out to be a decent game I might get it, I like both Space Hulk and assassins.
