Hey mods or whoever edited the title. Pls do not edit my post without making clear that you edited it. I don't mind it if you change the title, but I do mind if it looks like I changed it while I didn't.

I have had correspondence with GW itself and I can confirm that I was specifically told a person (who was named named in the exchange) was hired and had "interesting ideas about restructuring" the sisters of battle. I will not name the person or the person who wrote me. I know the bs/salt applied/made this up moniker will be applied. But I tell you what I have passed along is exactly what was written to me as I have been harassing them for a long time over correspondence to get the Sisters of Battle updated. Hope this helps, although hope is the first step on the road to dissapointment. Especially for SoB players.

Inb4 Sisters of Battle are reorganised as a Chapter of Space Marines descended from one of the lost Primarchs

Not a sisters player, but I am really hoping that SoB come back in a big way. They are a really important part of the Imperium. To ignore them is an injustice. Not to mention, some of the most hardcore 40k fans on here have been asking for plastic sisters for over a decade.

it would make sense, I've alsmost finshed a small SoB force, so now we get plastic sisters

People asked for lots of things for an awful lot longer. You'll just have to wait and see if Mother GW decides to throw you a bone.

Mehrines are the only iimportant part of the imperium, everything else is just a supporting role.

Someone mentioned to me that BB was a forge world release and will not be sold in GW stores at all.

If that's reference to sisters of battle old news and discussed in other threads. And VERY unlikely to be the 25th november release.

Based on that video, though, I would imagine Fenris 2/1k Sons will be the November release.

There is zero chance it's not being sold in GW stores. Just because specialist games comes under forgeworld management has no bearing on which sales channels it will go into.

So could the midnight secret be the beginning of the End Times for 40K? It's the only thing I can think of for GW to do something for a Midnight opening for such a grand event to happen.

Anything less than that would be so lack lustre.

It's been the End Times for 40k since about 1980.

Strange since 40k came at the end of the 80's

It's been steadily downhill since Laserburn.

Oh god, the sisters chat makes in into here as well.

I really struggle to understand the rabid fandom!

Apart from lack of change nothing is zero chance. SG games haven't been in GW stores in a long time. Just because they bring them back doesn't mean they will be selling them in stores.

Yeah, sure, GW will definitely not sell the most anticipated game they've made in years in their own stores.

Maybe at the start but no quarantee forever.

Look at the history. When was last time SG's were on stores? Go on. You have to look preeeetty long time back.

Well yeah, there is no guarantee forever on any of their products. Luckily that isn't the prerequisite we have here, we just want them sold in stores at all.

Of which we have no information. Maybe they are, maybe they are like month, maybe they aren't. So far GW's track record with SG's in their stores has been pretty bad though. And total zero for FW products despite demand.

Nice attempt to move the goal posts. Initially it was said it would not be in GW stores AT ALL, now you're saying maybe but not forever. At which point did i say Blood bowl will be in GW stores for ever and ever and ever and ever ?

When was the last time a GW boxed game was sold in a GW store? Right now, and there's been a bunch of examples in the past year alone. Just because BB was a former specialist game doesn't make it a special snowflake (according to you so special they won't even sell it ), it's a boxed game.

I work in a FLGS in Denmark, and was at the Forgeworld open day this summer. Through both of these channels we have been told by the designers of the game, that it WILL be available in stores. And not only in GW, but in any gaming store that has an account with GW and wants to stock it.

The plastic teams in upcoming releases will also go to general release, but the resin upgrade kits will be Forgeworld Only, and the same is expected for the Resin star player miniatures.

Apart from actually having an emali from GW that they are ready to ship them to us, it is as certain as anything can be, that yes indeed, these are going to general retail. They will not be limited to Forgeworld.

So, on this particular count at least, no the sky is not falling.

I think the last time they stocked specialist games in store (at least the starter boxes) was around the time right before they originally scrapped specialist games.

I expect the Blood Bowl game proper will be remaining on store shelves until they release a new blood bowl starter set.

So if Blood Bowl is not the secret release what is?

The same team that does BB did Silver Tower and BaC so I Think it's pretty safe to assume it'll be in stores.

I´m still fairly sure it´s Blood Bowl.
Just because it´s not secret as such, doesn´t mean they can´t try to surprise a lot of people who don´t necessarily follow Dakka/Faeit or similar sites for their rumors.

It may of course still turn out to be something else, I would just be surprised if it wasn´t Blood Bowl, since this month is the Prospero box, and they´ll need something big to drop before christmas.
And since GW has not had a history for big releases in December, I´d assume that Blood Bowl is their November big box release.

If you are going to try and make someone look foolish, please at least get your facts properly.

Fair, me not looking up the release date of Rogue Trader is about as foolish (if not a little less so) as the doom saying, complaining, and other assorted negative terms that are attached to anything people mention about a '40k end times'.

You know, since technically, the 40k setting has been in the 'Time of Ending' since the beginning.

Of course, you won't be bothered to actually acknowledge any unnecessary doom and gloom on your part, will you? Just attack the more irrelevant part of my post. Typical.

Thing is, I am not doom saying. Why wouldn't you even consider when I said End Times, with a capital E and T I didn't mean it as advancing the story? I have made the mistake many times assuming and got myself into trouble and made an arse out of myself.

Wasn't the story in Fantasy called End Times and that is why I said it that way. I should have explained it more and guess I assumed again people would have understood what I meant.

So couldn't this just be a story like that. No way am I saying this is the end for 40K, that 40K will be scrapped or be changed into something else and be changed. All I am is asking is this like a story event? Something major and something so unexpected from GW that an event like this advancing the story so Hugely, it deserved a midnight store opening to celebrate an major even with their customers and make it special.
