Game Summit's GW Q&A

At Game Summit there was a 30 minute Q&A session with Games Workshop reps Dave Noyle and Kevin Hesketh. I meant to take notes but I had a lot of stuff going on. I'll jot down what I can remember, but I encourage others who were there to add more.

- Squats/Chaos Dwarves/Demiurg are not planned to make a re-appearance.
- Dark Eldar are on the horizon for late 2009.
- Imperial Guard will be first half 2009.
- Space Wolves are not slated for a White Dwarf codex (a la Blood Angels) for the foreseeable future, which is at least 6 months.
- There's a major LotR upcoming release in the new year.
- Sectional game tables will be released in November.

What else do you guys remember?

Oh right. They stated that they are not going to be releasing Specialist game releases in spotty, irregular bits. They said they'd probably be doing two releases a year for Specialist games and that'd be that.

Re: Game Summit's GW Q&A

Oh yeah! Plastic Grotz are for sure.

I was also told by GW about a really big release for Orks in the new year, but I can't remember if I was supposed to keep it to myself, so I'll zip it.

Hint: "Big" release. See what I did there?

Re: Game Summit's GW Q&A

No, they spilled that in the Q&A, said lots of stuff coming out in January for the Orks... oh, wait... you mean the Stompa, right, never mind me.

They did confirm that there are going to be additional plastic Superheavies coming in the new year, including non-Imperial ones. (whether they meant the Stompa or if they're making plastic Scorpions, Tigersharks, or Pylons I can't say)

One thing that Kevin let slip after the Q&A that I mentioned over on the BFG board is that GW is planning to re-release a bunch of BFG stuff, including the Cobra Destroyer, in the near enough future that he thought the Cobras might already be available.

Bloodbowl Character mentioned above wis supposed to be premiered in the December white dwarf, IIRC.

Ok. Thanks for saying it, Feor. We had dinner with them the night before and I wasn't sure if it was hush hush or not.

Sites like BoLS and Warseer posted that info already so I doubt they'd sweat over you mentioning it to us yokels here in Ottawa.
