Rumours spotted here

Speculation? Rumour? Gossip? Most likely be a fantasy game this year. Speculation seems around Warhammer Quest, which seems the most logical. Though I have seen a few mentions of Dungeon Bowl.

Edit:
Added a poll for fun

Warhammer Quest was the first GW product I ever bought. Imagine how different my life would be if I hadn't done that.

EDIT: That's sort of a lie, I did own Battle Masters, but that was technically a Milton Bradley game.

I SOOOOOO hope this is Warhammer Quest. My original is in dire need of replacement. If it is, I'm sure it is going to be every bit as sexy as Space Hulk 3rd Edition was........

Wasn't it some internal strife that killed MoW?

Most likely, if following previous Space Hulk, would be WH-Quest, wouldn't it?
Dungeon Bowl would be out, as FFS got BB now. Wasn't it so?

I'm betting they are going to re-do Epic for the 5th time ... They are going to lower the complexity of the rules, by playing Epic on a huge board that is a combination of "Candyland", "Monopoly", "Risk" and "Stratego" ... Where you'll hear during play, "Do not pass the Ukraine, Do Not Collect 200 Teff !" "Do You have any Titans ?" ... "Go Fish !"
Should be a good seller for the 5-8 year old market ... ;D

I'm guessing that your many hobbies include knocking children's ice cream onto the ground and beating up old people with rolls of quarters.

Games it could be if GW actually wanted to:

Warhammer Quest
Hero Quest - do they own that one anymore?
Battle for Armageddon
Doom of the Eldar
Chainsaw Warrior

If keeping with what was old is new again theme of Space Hulk, I believe their greatest money grab would be Warhammer Quest or even Hero Quest (more aimed at the younger crowd, and therefore the potential for greater sales)

Well, it could be one of the specialist games re-done in a limited edition box. Mordheim, Necromunda, even Blood Bowl. Also, Gorkamorka could be re-released. Man O'War is probably a no-no. From what I remember there was some major fallout between management and one of the games creators resulting in Man O'War getting the Inquisition treatment.

Warhammer Quest is the most likely candidate however. As for Heroquest, MB games own that trademark. Warhammer Quest grew out of Advanced Heroquest which was a more advanced version of Heroquest anyway (Speaking of heroquest, lets see what Sir Christopher Lee has to say!).


As an aside, I have noticed that two old previously unavailable Blood Bowl miniatures have been quietly added to the GW website - Ramtut and that Amazon star player

We all know that GW will only do something like this if they can get a good return on it. Re-releasing something that has been officially available for free from their website, IMO, wouldn't provide this so that discounts any of the current specialist games range. They went with Space Hulk because they knew that it still had a great fan base and would sell well.... I think Warhammer Quest is a safe bet for them i this regard also, maybe not as safe as Space Hulk.....but after seeing how well and how quickly Space Hulk sold they probably feel that they'll still get a decent return from it. It has some opposition in Descent, I guess.....but I'm sure if it was marketed well it would still grab a hefty slice of the market.

Anyway, I hope it is WHQ :)

It will not be Bloodbowl. I would put money down on that at least
