''Important'' is subjective here.

I agree with you. Deathwatch, Ad Mech, CSG, even Harlequins were all huge releases.
Calth was a huge release.
All of these I dare say rival a new edition because many have come with updates.

Na they where medium releases. Things like Escalation, death from the skies and Stronghold assault where big releases affecting how the game was played by all players, not just adding a single codex.

Calth on the other hand was big bot not truly 40k.

While I can see where you are coming from, nobody here uses Death from the Skies or Stronghold assault rules.
They were cute boxes, much like the box with two Knights. But nobody cared and they came and went with a yawn.

That's what I was thinking.

Suprise midnight thing end of November, all the details a week or two later in the Dec White Dwarf

Is the BB thing confirmed?

New edtions have been mid night releases traditionally.

Data cards are on last chance to buy. All, but the newest Jeanstealers.

This. In technicality they're more important, but the faction releases have had much more of an effect on current metas and how people play the game.

I just looked and you are right all the data cards are last chance except Death watch and the pants stealing cult.

I wish I could exalt this post a 1000 times.

But then if there's a new edition imbound, why are they doing this with the data cards only? Wouldn't that be a super jerk move from a company that's beggining to show good signs? Like, "hey, guys, we are about tot release a new edition, so grab these while you can, b/c we will obviously release new ones for you to buy in the future". Something just doesn't add up...

They could just be always intended to be a silent limited edition, to avoid them getting stuck at retailers for example the ork ones are oop for quite a while now.

The way things are going, we're going to run out of edgy grognard buzzwords.

Or maybe data cards won't be a thing with Age of the Emperor.
Besides, if they didn't let people know these are last chance then people who want to stay with 7th edition when AoE drops would complain they weren't warned in time to buy for the armies they wanted.

Back on topic, I thought the rumor was that next year was the big edition drop.

The box will also come with some random Hive monsters, a lost Zoat and a rampaging Ambull.

don't forget the fishmen, yes you read it right, fishmen in 40k

I demand Hrud and them to be of the furry and tailed kind or else *shakes fist*

And when will we finally get a Grox model, huh?

New army? If it's just Warzone Fenris 2 and Deamon Primarch I will be disappoint.

They will release the Codex not Chaos Space Marines with the new Not Chaos Space Marines Space Marine faction.

This Codex will replace the CSM Codex and will then replaced with a new codex CSM in 2017.

You're all wrong, its clearly going to be squats and plastic sisters of battle.

Maybe they're going to replace the datacards with a deck building element :O

Just because no one has yet ....
plastic thunderhawk !!!!

I hope it's SoB.

Thinking about it seriously bloodbowl would be a good choice. If they get a couple of copies instore they can run demonsrtration games. Getting a chance to play the new game a week early would get me to attend if I lived near a store

Winter edition of Age of Sigmar event?

Or new edition.











Of Lord of the Rings/The Hobbit.

Midnight release... Minutes to Midnight.....a reference to End Times 40k countdown? Warzone Fenris 2 and return of the Daemon Primarchs?

Will Blood Bowl even be available in GW stores? Seeing as the specialist games are all under Forgeworld now it seems to be a question that needs to be asked.

Maybe a consolidated edition of the 40K FAQ's?
