It's Space Hulk
It's not Space Hulk
Limited release
Not a limited release
Something GW has never done before
Not something GW has never done before
If you bitch and cry because the rhumour says something you dont like you are a complete idiot who has a masochistic penchant for "owning oneself".
Official release information "for teh win"
But thankyou BoLS... my issue is not with you bringing the "news" as I love your site, my issue is with the toddlers crying over it ;)
Not if I have to cut my fellow hobbyists throught to get my hands on it.
Not if there are so few in circulation that no-one else knows the rules.
I don't get to play 40K often these days, Space Hulk would be the perfect remedy. Easy to transport, shorter playtime, more focussed rules to keep in practice with, and still be able to use my beloved Red Scorpions minis!
Please GW, don't do this to us!
Or at least tell us if there will be an unlimited version later in the year...
It fits all the qualifications for not being race-specific and something GW has 'never' done and still fits into the 40k environment. This also helps jump-start the Rogue Trader RPG that is coming out soon.
I will be slightly upset if I'm right and this is not Space Hulk.
It will be even more disappointing if the miniatures are not 28mm, but inquisitor scale, thus being incompatible with anything useful.
I would be bitterly disappointed if the mystery box IS space hulk as that would mean it is a one off, and not to be supported with extra stuff. (and it would see a massive ebay fight to get the few copies that exist)
Personally I see a lot of people trying to get their hands on photocopies of the rules and board sections if it is limited.
For being so secretive, it seems odd that everyone knows it's Space Hulk. I think the mystery box might be these minis, but they'll also do Space Hulk in the future.
WOOOOoooo!
-=silence=-
er...
Bah! Read some of the other post.
Unfortuanatly, Squats seem to be like Marmite...you either love them or hate them.
Although I agree it would make things a lot easier to paint.
Pity, I lost contact with him, because is not GW anymore and move out the country.
I would laugh so hard, 'cause everyone's popping boners over this 'mystery box' like it's the second coming of Christ.
if it is something like that, I think a LOT of people will be disappointed!
freakin squads LOL
You mean Squats 0.o
And no its a Demiurge, Squats are gone and just the mentioning of their name could bring the inquisition down on y.....
40k player wont buy dwarf or troll knockoffs...
if they wanted to...they would play fantasy
looks like this is going to be a spacehulk kind of game
with dwarfs vs inqusition
Dissapointing!!!
if they wanted to...they would play fantasy
All the squat-hate since then is mostly manufactured. Attempts at being fancool combined with the bleating of the herd.
just giveing them a stormbolter does not make em an alien race in 40k.
Translation is possible...but then you wont have the axe swinging berseker dwarf anymore. I don´t think people would buy that. If you look a the Squats figs in 2nd ED they looked laughable...nothing like fearsome warriors. Back then GW claimed that they would be worked on & comeing out soon...but they never did.
GW is clearly testing out the market with this X-box. They are aware that dwarfs are no cifi charackters.
Orks & Eldar have been around for a bit & do mix in with the 40k fluff. Along with SM & CSM orks + eldar are the main races of 40k. New races have never been exepted that well from all of the 40k community. Also should new races not really be new races...??? instead of fantasy translations. Look at Nids or Tau they are both more successfull than Necrons or DE, becaus they were NEW races when they came out.
If Squats find enough fans they might make there way to the 40k millenium... but lets hope not! xD
With what codex then... there never was a Squat codex as far as i know.
and as for what codex? his own, a bunch of us helped write and playtest it for 3rd edition based on some
old bits and pieces mixed with a fair amount of common sense and we have since updated it for each
new edition, changed and tweaked stuff... an while it is just a set of rules and not a book that hides its rules
in short stories, it only took us 2 months to sort it the first time around from scratch then a week to redo
it per new edition. If we wanted to fluff it out into a "Codex" then that could have easily been done during
the 2 month initial writeup.... which leaves us wondering why GW are so damn lazy when it comes to codexes.
Thats a fair way to do it... just wright your own codex. But you will be doing loads of conversions &/or casting.
Still i don´t need dwarfs in 40k.
besides most of his force are first edition squats ^^
throw in a few tamiya apc kits and so on and jobs a good 'un
I've got the Dwarf with it in as well as the black and white "multi" codex that came with 2nd edition and had Squats in as one of the many armies....including the original Sisters of Battle
Why can´t GW do Renegade Militia or more of the Adeptus armys or just something complettly new and inovativ. If Squats do come..whats next
space-lizardmen,
space-vampires,
space-beastmen
space-ratmen
space-woodelves
space-BRETONIANS ?!!!
besides... they owuldnt need to release "new" races as there are many in the 40k universe that dont have models and stuff ^^
Theres a reason why the Nid-cultist and Squats got droped. GW is a bissunes they sell what ever brings profit and that what doesn´t gets droped.
and if space elves and living fungus beasts can play with
tanks and titans then why not vertically challenged people ;)
Leaked concept sketches and this latest "plastic" model would seem to suggest the possibility of a re-release of Demiurge/Squats in some form or another....as an army, maybe not but they could introduce them small scale first to test the attraction to the little guys.
It wouldn't take much imagination or writing for GW to bring back the Squats....they've already got half the story with the Demiurge in Battlefleet Gothic.
----edit-----
Oh yeah...and people seem to have forgotten about GW announcing they're working on releasing a "new" race soon.
Squats, for all intensive purposes were removed.
As for the Mystery Box, I have v1 and v2 space hulk. I look forward to whatever v they want to call it. Space hulk is still a good game! Buuuut, if I'm wrong, I hope I am "new plastic Hrud boxed set" wrong, or even better, "new plastic arbiters and Judges" wrong. Oooh, tent raising all around.
I agree heartily
If you just want a bunch of bipeds why not just become a historical wargamer? I really don't get it.
I'm already booked in.
...they look preetty snap fit :)
How do you plead?
"Genocide"
Mr Genestealer, this court finds you guilty on all charges of molesting Demiurg children and has sentenced you to 25 years imprisonment in the nearest uninhabited spacehulk headed for the Ultramar system with no option for parole.
GW Staff will receive the "Project X box" on Tuesday/Wednesday.
GW Staff only can buy (not free) only ONE unit per worker.
GW Staff whom have seen the pictures think there are not any metal miniature.
Also confirmed the low number of the "Project X box" (on several languages) produced
In fact is just "Project X"...box... Project X as nickname, nothing to do with MS-Xbox
who knows mabyFantasy Flight Games has the go ahead to make a board game verson for thos...less inclined to rollplay esp sence you have to have atleast one 60$ book lol
remember the DOOM 3 board game?
DEMIURG!!!!
I can't believe they have actually made a model - I had been told that FW had been forbidden from making any type of 'dwarf analogue in space'. What does this signify?!
:-D
He's also confirmed that several members of staff HAVE been fired for revealing things to do with this box.
Fix 40k first, GW!
As for the guy I spoke to, he's so laid back, he's nearly in his grave. He really doesn't care about spinning things or hyping stuff up. If he says people have been fired....that's what he knows. He may have been told exaggerations but I highly doubt he'd tell me that to hype this thing up.
By the by....it will be announced this Monday in our store.
green and that you need to get your eyes checked with sufficient conviction that you would
actually book an eyetest.
I'm not saying your guy is actually lying or exaggerating, all I am saying is that its their job ;)
Confirmed from the local Store they got quite a few pieces
Most were reserved as well I hope I can get mine !
So ye, wtf was the "Something we never done before .." bullcrap anyway ? lol
GW are weirdos
I know this because our store manager is holding a competition for people to paint either a Genestealer or Terminator for the release of Space Hulk. Yet he also said that the Mystery Box will be announced in store on Monday.
Why would he confirm Space Hulk and then say the Box would be announced Monday?
almost 99% of time the following information is either completely false or pulled word for word from more reliable rumor sources
I once had a black shirt tell me that GW was branching out into children's cereals by buying out Kellogs and putting a plastic miniature in every box of cereal.
follow me on twitter and you will get the information direct from the GD
I just hope its 3D plastic corridors
