When one of the most accurate rumormongers out there starts talking, you better pay attention. Here’s the latest:

Not MaybeDeathwatch
Genestealer Cult

Anyone here remember the little guessing game we had about releases?Most of it can be found here…….So you’ll see in there the assassins game (correct)
HH Game (I guess time will tell )

… and amongst the other stuff….

G/S Cult Codex & Models (Harlequin sized release)
Deathwatch Codex & Models (Harlequin sized release)

….. well, I may have gotten myself a bit confused about what these actually were, it seems we “may” be seeing these two as a combined set in some fashion, whether that’s as another standalone game or as a “starter/campaign” set is yet unclear, although I’m going to assume that these would be unusual choices for a starter box.

I can certainly see the logic in combining the Deathwatch and Genestealer Cult into a single product – they are perfect adversaries. One a small elite force of hunters, the other a large rabble of decievers hiding in the shadows. The bigger questiosn is whether this would show up initially as one of the “Assassin-style” board games with attached 40K rules, or as part of “Shield of Baal”/ “Stormclaw” style campaign box.

Oh this year is going to be amazing for 40K players!
