Oh, BoLS has a rumor...

4 Assassin models in the box, one for each temple.
Various non-imperial opposition models.
A board game in the general style of Space Hulk.

[i]Holy gak, Larry Vela is firing all engines today with this hard-hitting rumour.

Is it me or does that artwork make him look friendly....

Cutting edge, hot off the press breaking news. Wonder who his contacts are...

</sarcasm>


I'm debating whether to get this. Not sure if it'll be worth it, it's another boardgame that'll be warming my shelf and I need funds for Salute. Typical of GW - too short notice, so I think this'll be a pass for me unless I can miraculously magic more cash together. I'm hoping to see Hawks Dropfleet Game or previews and need funds for anything available...

wait wait wait wait wait... At the end of the video, it says "25 April in your Games Workshop stores"?!?!

What does that mean LOL. GIMME.

Pre orders are moving to 10;00 Saturday AM.

Lets hope these are actually models and not assassin shaped tokens/busts a-la FFG's Relic game.

This is GW, there will be plastic minis in it. I know people love to be downers about stuff, but I highly doubt they'll do something like that.

Brook's right. It'll have minis. It's a GW game after all. FFG's stuff can't have minis because that's their deal with GW.

Placed a blind pre-order with my FLGS, something I hardly ever do these days. The rules may suck, but we will be getting good minis (updated assassins at that!) and another great tile set, which is good enough for me.

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.

No. Eldar go on sale in GW stores this Saturday.

As I say this Saturday.

Stick with me pup, I'll steer you right.

From what I've gathered from my FLGS, it's just Eldar this weekend, nothing else.

Sure, it'll go up for pre-order then.

Hey, this is straight from a friend of a friend who knows a Manager.

That is pretty much the definition of a wargaming dead cert.

Manager from a GW store..?

I feel the illustrations of the assassins are way too cartoony and bright…
Am I the only one?

It's the style one of their freelancers uses, can't remember the name, but also does a lot of art for FFG in that style.

T-Shirts for a board game is what they did for Space Hulk in 2009 at Games Days before the game was even announced and in the stores during their preorder week. Makes sense as it will create some buzz

Not like putting martial arts fighters and AAA models into Spandex suits to do promotions in-store but it should do the job



There were also big Space Hulk dice and game parts in some stores during the SH week - in Spain I think

Although I've got both Eversor sculpts (in metal ) I'd be up for getting this so I could have the other 3, presuming, of course, that the models end up better than the current iterations.

The Evesor better have a big grinning skull like the current model does.

If the new art is anything to go by, yes they will still be the same designs you negative Nancy.

And here are the contents:

A brand new co-operative game for one to four players who control four Imperial Assassins, as they attempt to assassinate a Chaos Sorcerer and end a dark ritual, which will destroy a star system.

It contains everything you need to play to defeat the Chaos Space Marines Sorcerer. The game comes with:

- 4 brand new multipart plastic Imperial Assassins – a Callidus, a Cullexus, an Eversor and a Vindicare
- A Chaos Space Marines Terminator Lord and familiar (existing 43-12)
- 3 Chaos Space Marines (existing 35-31)
- 15 Chaos Cultists (existing 3x 35-34)
- A rulebook, board sections, cards, counters and dice
- A missions book

Oooh EDIT: No new models for the adversaries :( That's a missed opportunity

Were is this from, Brook?

Stores should be getting their info packets for the upcoming pre-orders today.

Yup. Trustworthy well informed chap too.

Sufficed to say he suggested that I swing by before/after Salute.

Okay well, only new Assassin's then

It makes sense though, if prior rumours are to be believed, that after a few months the assassins will go up for sale as individual blisters. No need to redo Chaos models when there's already a range of snapfit models out there.

I apologise, I've been having a crappy day.

I appreciate info is new but is this suggesting/confirming the chaos models will not be new then? The numbers are not familiar to me.

The numbers are their corresponding item numbers.

edit.

Also, see my earlier reply to Warhams-77.

cheers.
