What will you be doing at Midnight Tonight?
January 27, 2012 by warzan
UPDATE 1:09am: So things are either running late or we were wrong, perhaps we will find out soon enough...
Further to our news on the 6th Edition Heresy Rulebook yesterday… today we can bring you another little bit of possible insider news from the mighty GW Citadel!
So, what will you be doing at midnight tonight? (GMT We Suspect!)
Well I’ll tell you what you should be doing… hovering your finger over this button that's what!!...
That’s right, our GW spidey sense has told us that tonight is the night when there could be a big and brand new 'something' from the mighty Workshop.
Beasts of War will be waiting with baited breath to see what will turn up. After the announcement, some of us will be in the BOW Chat (down there in the bottom right hand corner of your screen) to chat and gossip about the latest 'something'.
But what could the new 'something' be… perhaps one of these…
- Games Workshop are getting those long overlooked Tau ready for their Codex!
- Those cool Necron jetbikes and that monstrous death ray are ready for release…
- Games Workshop has a certain group of Dwarves, an Old Grey Wizard and a bloke from The Office to show us… that of course would be elementary! 😉
- Games Workshop are finally launching a model of the Emperor… and it looks like Tom Kirby!
- All of the Vampire Count models are being recalled because they heard we’re doing a Vampires Week and mentioned Mantic Zombies are better…
- Games Workshop has finally seen sense and will be releasing Fishmen!
- [ED NOTE] Or it could be a hoax or we've buggered up our 'interpretation' which will be a bit embarrassing to say the least 🙂
I know which one I want, but what do you think… what would you like to see?
Maybe they’ll announce that they are going to do the sensible thing and realease 4 army books a year, 4 codices a year and return to normal price bracket.
Hmm maybe not
Although the ‘something’ could easier by released in one go, I’ve heard a rumour that there will be 2 parts…
Im hoping for the fishmen personally.
I’d love a fishmen army – units of deep ones, shoggoths on chariot bases and Lvl4 wizards using the lore of “Esoteric Order of Dagon”, signature spell “moisten all units in 12 inches of the caster”. One spell would be “innsmouth eyes”, when cast on a unit 1d6 models turn into fishmen. Characters include “Captain Marsh – special ability summon deep ones” and “Ephraim Waite”.
I got an idea for a Fishman spell! Bioluminescent Lure – choose 1 enemy unit within 12″ and move them 1D6 in any direction. Normal movement rules apply.
I can just picture the champion saying “Everybody… move towards the light!”.
Would be good for stopping enemy units from charging you. :p
Plastic Thunderhawk! Although knowing my luck it will be that they’re going into administration…
Hobbit news of course, would be great to see some sneak peeks of what models could be happening in the future.
Of course, a surprise announcement that they are suddenly releasing the Dwarfs as 8th Edition would be fantastic.

Wait… it’s last Friday of the month. It’ll be that White Dwarf is out.
I heard somewhere a lotr special wd was in the works…or is that out already?
no that is whats coming out, and is probably what this announcement is… its just that most other forums have already received all the scanned pics 😛
We probably won’t know because their website will be overloaded at that time. But anything they might be announcing would be either disapointing (finecast, dreadfleet, etc)… or something we already know (6th edition coming soon !). I’m losing faith in GW 🙁
If it turns out to be the announcement of the hobbit game I’m gonna be disappointed with a capital F.
who said finecast
SQUATS RETURN!!!!!!!
DWARVES IN SPAAAAAAAAAAAAACE
Mantic are buying GW …..
The new race is Skullmen (In Spaaaaaaace) who fly skullships and use guns that fire skulls and use skull shaped templates with embossed skulls and dice shaped like skulls …..
My money is on an an announcement to the effect that “Finecast has proved such an overwhelming success and its unique bubbly formula is so popular, that GW is now going to cast all non-plastic models in marshmallow and aero chocolate, for maximum customer satisfaction”.
After all, the models as they are are no use for wargaming, so making them out of something that is actually fit for eating rather than just chucking straight in the bin is the obvious step forward!
6th Edition uses Bloodbowl dice ….
You can only play in tournaments if you own a copy of Dreadfleet …
FISHMEN. Seriously. When will some manufacturer come out with some sweet fishmen models. Does Wargames Factory still do that thing where they’ll build miniatures based off of votes? I thing we should start a fishmen (with guns) campaign on that site.
I agree, I want some really nasty, gory, mutated looking ones to do a Deep Ones army!
if its those bloody dice advertised in the leak version, I’m going to be annoyed!
PS , its going to be LOTR stylee hobbitness I should think.
Or some 25th anniversary reprint of Rogue Trader like they did with warhammer.
ITS GOING TO BE THE NECRONS!! Had an inside tip from someone i know who works for them and if he got it wrong hes getting a slap!!! ha ha
probably just the new LOTR stuff that was recently leaked : http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/425444.page
I wouldnt get your hopes up if you are hoping for that rumoured tyranid/necron 2nd wave or whatever….
Be nice to be wrong though.
They’ve put a “No Returns” policy on Finecast
If you phone customer service and complain you get banned from all GW stores
If you play or shop in GW stores you’re not allowed to go on the internet – ever
Non current minis are not allowed in stores or tournaments
GW paints are switching to B&Q emulsions
OK I’m done now 🙂
B&Q emulsion you say? Well that would be a step in the right direction
maybe they will make a model for EVERYTHING for a change.
if its a necromunda or mordheim re release (box scenery, new minis) I would give a ‘special hug’ to everyone in GW HQ, if not, then meh
Necrons please…but maybe it’ll be something bigger…
Its probably the LOTR stuff, look at most forums and you’ll find all the details
GASP
WAIT
A re-release of Warhammer Quest – if it is count me as a fanboy again 🙂
Maybe their sales training squad will tell the shop staff not to pounce on every single person and coax them into buying stuff they don’t want. I hate GW with a passion now.
Ahh, you have to have the right technique for that.
Answer the guy buy shouting at him the first time he speaks to you, pretending your deaf, and shout you are just browsing. You wont be bothered again, guarantee it.
I let them waste their time and dont buy anything. thankfully I think I look old and grumpy enough that I havent had the sales rep issue for 10 years. Plus I tend to do flgs rather than gw stores
I heard its a brand new Eldar Codex coming out 😉
And all the Eldar minis are Finecast ……
Romain video has made gw see the light
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
