I feel like I've seen this somewhere, but...I can't have.
This is going to drive me fricking nuts.

Tomorrow is the FW Open day (technically today now at time of posting) so it's unlikely to be anything too high profile that's linked to the GW Main Studio, which tips it more towards a FW or SGS release I expect.

If it's FW open day...my guess is now more on Necromunda, but maybe not the GW prime boxed game I was expecting. If GW does the old school Necromunda approach - I think (as someone mentioned here before) they'd have to do resin...sadly.

I seriously fear for GW doing a Necromunda game. I believe that the depth and amount of upgrades will be SEVERELY restricted, from essentially whatever one wants, to the contents of a plastic box.

While I understand people being reticent, if we get a new Necromunda it should be coming from the same guys who did the new Blood Bowl and with a similar level of investment, so in theory it should just be a tweaked version of the classic ruleset with multiple plastic gangs and resin expansions/characters.
Specialist Games seem to have a reasonable amount of autonomy, and I think their handling of Blood Bowl, while not perfect, has earned them some benefit of the doubt.

I wouldn't worry too much. The specialist games section is deliberately separate from the main studio and has a different philosophy. If you look at bloodbowl, you have rules for teams that do not have miniatures yet and there was a whole series of videos about how to convert minis to field those teams.
From what I have seen from the Adeptus Titanicus previews, they are not shying away from a little complexity.
The whole point of doing Necromunda in addition to shadow war would be to provide players with the classic Necromunda experience.
Edit ninjad by Yodhrin. I agree with them.

If it is part of the forgeworld open day, sometime between 10am and 5 pm UK time. If it is on the community site some time between 3 pm and 7pm UK time is normal.

Wonder if hive gangers will get rules for 40k as well as Necromunda? Would be kinda fun I think. They wouldn't be particularly powerful, but it'd be nice if gangers got stuck in too.

I don't see why you wouldn't throw in ganger-style cultist rules for Imperials. Maybe not separate per type of gang, but just a generic Imperial Hiveworld Gang unit entry, etc.

Hive Gangers are usually pressed into service after being plucked off the streets, given a shoddy vest, and a lasgun, then pointed in the general direction of the enemy.
Also known as conscripts. :p

If I remember correctly, Armageddon actually had rules for Hive Cultists with pistols and CCWs...so not always are they given anything from the Guard itself.

That was because the Orks were right on their doorstep, wasn't it? The defenders didn't even have time to line up all the new recruits and hand them an official lasgun; they just pointed them out the door and told them to shoot everything green with whatever weapons they already had.
On the other hand, Imperial Guard troops recruited from hive gangs were often above average, not crappy conscripts.

It wasn't even that--the gangs came out of the woodwork and just fought.

Depends on the context really.
