Mystery Box coming?
Details below...
-Product announcement on 15-16th August, with a ship date in September.
-August/September they are selling a box set for around £50. (@$70 USD)
-It is a completely stand alone set that is not related to any race.
-It is something that GW has never done before.
-Some local stores are only getting one shipment; when that sells out it will no longer be available.
-You can't advance order it. You have to be there on the day to get it.
-It is not Planetary Empires.
-It is a board game.
-Very limited GW people know what it is. Blueshirts have indicated what they know and the Blackshirts avoid questions.
-Likely to be 40K related, but not definitely confirmed.
I'm thinking this may be a completely Re-Vamped version of Space Hulk, but that would contradict the 'something GW has never done before line.' We'll have to wait til next month to see what this one is.

New Space Wolf stuff:

WOLFRIDERS?!
BoLS has been hearing talk of at least one unit capable of riding wolves and this might be it:
-The new trade order form lists Canis Wolfborn ($41.25) in the marine section.
He's got a very big wolf in a not so weired way as that sounds.
-Wolfguard Leader/Wolfguard Bodyguard riding wolves!
EQUIPMENT
Always reliable Brimstone has been dropping hints:
-Lightning Claws pah, the Wolves of Fenris have no use for such items.
In relation to this recently released mini:
Others step in to say:
-They are called Wolf Claws in the new codex, you can choose to either re-roll to hit or to wound.
CHARACTERS
-Njal Stormcaller indeed is back, and with a new model, holding a gnarled staff out before him.
-Bjorn is back
MINIS
-2 new plastic kits:1 of them can be used to make pretty much every SW troop choice by combining the oooodles of spares on the sprues with normal vanilla marines kits (e.g. a box of devastators plus the extra from the sprues will make your Longfangs. IIRC there are around 30+ heads on the sprue!!! There may also be a special vehicle, but I'm not sure if it's a complete kit or if there will be an upgrade sprue to add to the existing kit.
-Metal Wolfguard Bodyguard terminators
There you have it Kiddies, October release schedule. I'm really digging these. The Sons of Russ will return. For the Wolftime.
Would you like to know more?

The new book from Grahm McNeil is slated. Here's some more info from Mr. McNeil himself:
Iron Warrior
But…as I said, Iron Warrior is finished. And what, pray tell, is Iron Warrior, I hear you ask. Well, it’s something of a new venture, and I don’t want to say too much, but I think you’re going to really like it. No prizes for guessing which traitor legion it’s about, but the stuff the design guys have got going on for this book is making my mouth water just thinking about it.
Okay, to give you a little taster of the book, here’s a few lines from Chapter 1.
“Only that the Thrice Born is the bane of the Gatekeeper of Zalathras,” said Honsou, letting his frustration show as Moriana crouched beside the purple fire. “And that it would rise again in the Time of Ending to wreak bloody revenge on those who paid homage to his sons.”
There, don’t say I’m not good to you. And as that project sails off into the editorial sunset, my attentions turn to A Thousand Sons, my latest Horus Heresy novel.
Enjoy Guys, I know I am excited as hell about this and can't wait to find out more about it.
