As somebody who is very good at body language and lie detection, I can say with confidence that after a conversation with staff at our local workshop I think it is Space hulk......This new statement that all the staff in various games workshops are robotically repeating “It is not what you think it is” is a very poor attempt by Gw to keep the rumour mill turning. Don’t get me wrong, the marketing people at Gw have defiantly produced interest in this product; even people that don’t buy stuff from Gw are interested.
I just hope its 3D plastic corridors 

...and we all know how difficult it is to paint the color red onto a black base.

This may be one of the best, most thoughtful comments I've seen on this topic ever. I was just saying the same thing, though not so eloquently, to my spouse earlier this evening. Well, done.

And a laid back person with enough charisma could tell you that your purple socks are really
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 ;)

That was a Black shirt. The red you saw was from his own blood after Chuck Norris ripped his still beating heart out with a tweezer.

Yes the Black codex had a lot of cool armys...but i don´t consider space-dwarfs as one of them.
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 ?!!!

Legion3000 seems like a very boring person. I find it a shame that so many Sci-Fi fans and especially 40K fans are so conservative and unimaginative. What is so wrong with adding to the mythos? What is so bad with unusual beings and strange homeworlds? That is what Sci-Fi/Cosmic Horror should be about. Doing things that cannot be done in other genres or mediums, pushing the boundaries and exploring new territory. 40K needs more references like Xenology not less.
If you just want a bunch of bipeds why not just become a historical wargamer? I really don't get it.

And whys that ? because it actually delves into *interesting* aliens that arent the atypical conservative bipeds the masses lap up, or because your a boring necron player ?

A friend of mine used Inquisitor scale models as greater demons for his chaos army. He also used empire flagelants as demons painted in a ghostly blue and white.

Well, if one of you nice Americans would care to pop over for the 'questioning' I as a British Citizen will do my damnedest to deny all evidence that may reveal where the information 'magically' arrived from...

I once had a Red Shirt tell me that Chuck Norris was gay.....

Space Hulk isn't the mystery box...it's being released but it's not the box.

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?

The guys at our store a pretty solid for telling truths actually. Most the time our manage couldn't give a crap about anything any ways...hence why I've already got a copy of Planetary Empires....

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.

Ah yes Xenology, the worst GW reference since "My brother's best friend knows a guy..."

They announced it would be a new race though....Chaos dwarfs has never really been removed to my knowledge only set back further and further.

Squats, for all intensive purposes were removed.

Conrad_Dakarn — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 11:16:33 -0000

Squats had a Codex...kinda...
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

I love the little guys actually. Have been working on a 5th Ed Codex for them with a few people at our local club.

Unfortuanatly, Squats seem to be like Marmite...you either love them or hate them.

Sathos — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 10:56:00 -0000

sounds like you need to play epic more lol...
and if space elves and living fungus beasts can play with
tanks and titans then why not vertically challenged people ;)

Re: 40K RUMORS: You Can Cut the Tension with a Knife

Sathos — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 10:55:54 -0000

you make doing lots of conversions sound like bad thing...
besides most of his force are first edition squats ^^
throw in a few tamiya apc kits and so on and jobs a good 'un

Re: 40K RUMORS: You Can Cut the Tension with a Knife

Guest — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 10:03:10 -0000

But back then it was small armys...almost no vihicles. For me 40k is about big Wars with lots of Tanks and maybe titans. I don´t really see dwarfs fighting titans ever.
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.

They are lazy becaus they get paid for it ^^

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.

As an addendum tyranids have been in 40k since the early days, I have the miniatures sat on my desk awaiting ink washes. and squats were originally a complete force so they have already "made their way into the 40k universe"

besides... they owuldnt need to release "new" races as there are many in the 40k universe that dont have models and stuff ^^
