I feel so cheap doing GW's marketing for them, but I'm curious to see if it is something random or if it is simply the worst kept secret in the history of GW.

**Cheese Elemental**

As much as I'd like to see Jervis' head in a box with an apology for the CSM codex stuffed in his mouth, my money's on Space Hulk.

**darkkt**

Im actually hoping for jervis's head (on a sprue) - great for conversions! A Bald, not so angry, myopic marine.

**Cheese Elemental**

I wonder if Jervis browses these forums and sees the horrible things we write about him.

If he does our comments don't seem to be shocking him into making intelegent decisions.
As to the contents of "The Mystery box",I vote Spacehulk,unvieled to thunderous indiference.

**ian00107**

I have to admit, I have no idea as to what box you refer to. Could somebody post me a link to this box we are speculating aboot?

I actually hope for a new race but Jervis's head would be a nice consellation prize.

QFT. I agree with this statement. Although it is likely that I will purchase it if it is indeed Spacehilk.

**dietrich**

I heard it's a sprue of the 28mm plastic heads Jervis and other 'famous' GW employees. It includes both the 'short hair' and 'Space Wolf' versions of Andy Chambers!

If it's not Space Hulk, GW has figured out how to have tight lips. So, that means, it must be Space Hulk.

**Emsden**

Space hulk, apprantly there is a plastic librian in termy armour and a plastic broodlord

**Loki_TBC**

IF it is Spacehulk and it IS limited run, I swear by all that is holy I am going to fly to England and cock-punch Jervis.

Space Hulk is a very fun game and to limit it would show that, despite pretending to want to be profitable, they are a bunch of morons.

(Well, it would just reinforce that notion, actually...)

It isn't that hard for Jervis Johnson to find this thread. I know several authors and artists and the like who find a lot of what is written about them online.

He just has to google search his name, and he'll come across this little post eventually.

However, with all of the awful things people say about Jervis, I can see why he would stop reading people's posts. Honestly, most of the derogatory statements made about him amount to "You can't do anything right" and that won't help him make a better game.

As for the Mystery Box, I've heard a lot about it being Space Hulk, but not from any really reliable sources. Either someone made up the rumor and it spread (less likely) or it is Space Hulk and GW people have been leaking it in their own little unofficial capacity (ok, that happens a lot, so that'll be it).

Was there ever doubt? Consider:

1. Release a Deff Rolla sprue without FAQ for a raging debate on the item...
2. Ten years between Codex releases for some armies, six months for others...
3. Continuously raise prices in the face of a global recession....
4. Let Gav destroy Codex:CSM thereby alienating every CSM player (well except you Twin Lash Zerker/PlageMarine types)...
5. For the largest part ignoring their custom base entirely on rules queries in essence telling us to sort it out ourselves...
6. Writing Rules and Codexes without apparent play-testing (or competent proofreading in some cases)...
7. Squats...

**Kyley**

Yeah, give him a break, I don't think he's that bad, It's just some people are veing cocks because he's focussed on the fluff a la C

A...on the CSM on I support the jervis haters though. Also I don't think it's space hulk, I reckon its something emtirely different, I just dont know what, some kind of hobby related thing.

P.S. the overall message in this story was "lets not turn into warseer" just a bunch of old men moaning about GW

**Deff Dread red Edition**

Mhhhh...I wish it was a beautiful twenty one year old that was really into me(a man can dream can't he).

As for a serious answer I have no idea.

**legoburner**

fwiw I only mentioned jervis in the poll as everybody knows who he is, I was going for the se7en angle more than anything. Jervis gets a permanent free pass in my mind for giving the world blood bowl.

**SargesSquad**

I doubt it's going to be a new race, but maybe limited edition casts of something out there...

but my money's still on Space Hulk.

**nyyman**

If it's Space Hulk (which I think it is and hope for) I must definitely buy it. But, as someone already said, if it's a limited edition/ limited run, I will join Loki_TBCs epic quest to hunt Jervis down and put his head on a spike and give it to Abaddon.
Man that would be fun.

**MarkoftheRings**

Wats Space Hulk?

I would rather them make it a limited run than pretend to support it and not. Like they have for everything else besides 40K, WHFB, and (UGH!) LOTR.

**jab4962**

I vote Space Hulk. Does anybody know where the announcement will be when it is announced within the next 1-2 weeks?

**gretar**

Other ..

Im currently using putty to make a *scrambled words*

You'll see

**jabbakahut**

Don't we know that it can't be space hulk? I thought they said that it doesn't relate to any current army?

**greenskin lynn**

space marine helmet toaster/easy bake oven....so they can get little kids interested

**Grunt_For_Christ**

Really, everyone is set on space hulk? I'd actually really like that, but what evidence is everyone using for it?

**jabbakahut**

I would like SH as well, but that runs contradictory to what they've said, unless the information they released was in fact supposed to misdirect people because GW has been complaining about rumors.
