You know you want to and, if it's like Space Hulk, its a matter of buy it now or regret the price hike on EBay.

[Kitsune]

Been reading up on this and think I'll wait to see what is actually in the box.

I don't think it's going to be as big as Space Hulk was, ignoring the people panic buying in case they don't get one.

Picked this snippet up:

It IS Dread Fleet - Warhammer naval game of a fleet of ships from the various races of good vs. the Vampire Pirate of Sartosa and his allies.

There is a "Wanted" poster teaser in the current issue of WD.

I've seen blurry shots of the ships taken in Bugman's and they look pretty damn cool

Shops won't have it until Saturday for preorders.

[OSHIROmodels]

When is the actual release and can you get it mail order (I'm not going in there)

cheers

No idea, I can't recall GW ever keeping anything so quiet, no real info even at this late date..............

[Kitsune]

Theres a couple of nice looking posters up, but the "we won't tell you anything until we ask for your money" thing isn't really selling the game to me.

[joroas]

Yes, their current market strategy sucks................

[WuZhuiQiu]

The posters look like they're for, say, Cirque du Soleil...

John Blanche's name being attached doesn't help for me.

I can't stand his style when it comes to drawing people.

Now don't get me wrong his artwork for Battlefleet Gothic was stunning he seemed to be in his element drawing big ships with lots of sensor masts and stuff, but when he draws people/creatures it just all goes wrong for me.

Of course maybe he has improved since his horrific drawings in the Inquisitor rulebook and the likes of Libre Chaotica which were red and brass splattered scribbles.

[Johnno]

I agree Viper!!
What ever happened to teaser pics of the minis?
Not even the GW store staff know what's going on? How are they supposed to explain it to the masses.....

[The Gray Ghost]

I always thought their Sartosa stuff was pretty cool.

I am looking forward to finding out more about this release.

Supposedly, more info will be released this Saturday (the 17th), and pre-orders will be possible at that point.

I could be tempted to get a few copies seeing as I let Space Hulk pass me by (pushing towards the £200 price mark on some Ebay auctions I see!).
