-All sets will be completely made of plastic
-Specialist Games is dead
-The Games will be Standalone Complete Sets with Expansion-Sets for additional Models or Armies.
-Terrain will be made of Plastic and/or Cardboard
- Epic and Gothic will become Great Crusade Expansions
And from today
Epic May Include Primarchs, Chaos Traitor Legions, and Ork Clans

-Expansion sets for Epic will cover Theme lists like Chaos Traitor Legions or Ork Klans.
-A possible Great Crusade Expansion for Epic may contain the Primarchs and other coll stuff
-All former SGs will return as Complette Sets
And here are my two cents.
if this happens, it think the boxed game approach is the most propable.
A boxed set like Space HUlk is a good push for sales, because you can offer it at a good deal. You have everything you need to play. Make Amryboxes as expansions if it really takes off.
Target audience would be all the new kids that never even heared about Epic and all the old kids that stopped playing epic but will buy it for nostalgia.
GW needs sales and fast. After the 20something% loss in sales they need a push before the end of thier fiscal year. Or something on the horinzon for the shareholders like the new 40k starter.
Boxed sets are cheaper than an Army realease and have higher customer potiential espacially if it is something "new" with nostalgia attached on.
Even if it's not as good as epic I'll jump on this. Hell I'll use it as an excuse to use my epic minis. I have four epic armies and haven't had a game in over a year. It's been extremely hard trying to recruit people over here, people aren't keen on investing in a dead game.
And "whilst"? Beginning sentences with "right" is your equivalent to us beginning our sentences with "so". You guys have your things as we have ours.
