Limited edition GW game?

From BoLS: http://www.belloflostsouls.net/2009/07/ ... y-box.html

Anyone got any good thoughts as to what this might be? I'd have said Space Hulk (with plastic floor tiles) but if it's something they've never done before...

"rumors brought to the community by warseer's: genestealer_baldric"

I got my first warseer wanring points for when the thread title said
"whats in the box"
I said nothing, you win absolutely nothing (and linking to wheel of fish from uhf.. that was about a fortnight ago.)

Other people then started saying it was micheal jacksons spare parts and the trhead got removed..

This is the follow up thread with source http://www.warseer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=206913
, details and quotes from the original person who asked..
apparently mysterious black boxes with seals on are a fairly common occurance.. but the interweb has chinese whispered it up to being that GW will release 20 copies of spacehulk..for 1 hour from one shop maybe.. (pinch of salt on creating the sprus boxes etc and then only doing a limited release)

Methinks we need to do some poking around at the WHW weekend... :twisted:

GW HQ isn't that great at stocking finite items (I guess its a just in time management space thing and the volume of tourists, it took them 2 months to get hold of a bog standard double size army case.. because they only ever have 1 in the shop duhh) you'd be better if looking for rare stuff (e.g. brazen brass or 2nd ed trolls) going to a gamesworkshop somewhere that hates kids and is always empty (I've seen a few of them..places where the street musicans wear ties and play the violin) Then again maybe they don't exist anymore?

So the conclusion is it's all a pack (or a box) of lies?

Maybe it's a big box of FAQs and errata for the rulebook with definitive rules and updated codexes for each army. :lol:

I thought loveless got it best when he said "It's AoBR cast in chocolate. "

I'm putting my money on Space Hulk(a limited Edition version).

With the normal version due out a little while after.

I have tried to get info out of our rep but its like pulling teeth.

well if this is something, it completely blows goats as im abroad and im not paying for a flight in which i wont get anything....this reminds me of the time someone stole my bag (with wallet in) on the edinburgh train and the GW was having a sale...worst day ever all those metal IG £1 a blister..gits.

Ive had a re-think over this.

It could well be the "Indomitable Fortress" thats on page 20 of the Planetstrike book.

-It is a completely stand alone set that is not related to any race.

so not any codexes or new units

-It is something that GW has never done before.

they've already done space hulk, so not that

Kind of like how you didn't read my post on the last page.
Here is the poster from GD Russia.

shin'keiro on Warseer translates it as such:
Большая коробочная игра = Big box game
Ha данный момент нет ничего подобного = At the moment there is nothing like it (not "something never done before")
Oграниченный тираж = Limited edition
Bы можете только догадываться = You can only guess

If anyone reads Russian and has a better translation, then by all means correct it. BTW I like BoLS as much as the next guy, but sometimes they do misquote rumors. I can see why though. Rumor threads are hard to sift through. Mid-August there will be more info. So, we will know for sure then.
