GW bringing back Specialist Games?!?

[spubbbba]

Another pic and more info recently posted on BOLS.

Most important new info from that is that the game will be out within 12 months. Earlier posts said it was due 2017, so I guess that means first quarter of 2017.

Hello, news from Gama found on Dakka dakka, one "good" picture of the box: http://i.imgur.com/jB9IB5H.jpg , wip?
It seems to be another human vs ork.

I noticed an awful lot of terrain-ish hexes on the table, and thought "this can't be good!" However, they might belong to the game on the right, which appears to read: "Lost Patrol"?

I guess it is, because that's the box that was opened and Blood Bowl still seems to be closed.

so let's see when dicetower.com will feature GW's "Lost Patrol"

It is, see here for confirmation.

Looks like nobody has cottoned on that is a rehash of a game from 1990 or 1991. Which had Space Marine scouts, tiles (so that each game is different) and first introduced Tyaranids. I think it was during the times that GW and MB games were doing lots of projects together.

Oh wait "“Games Workshop is releasing a new version of the 2000 classic Lost Patrol with updated components and rules. It arrives in stores on June 17."

Edit: It's older than that though, and I've never heard of 'Lost Patrol' before.

Edit 2: Remembered 'Advanced Space Crusade' and the MB one was 'Space Crusade'. Here is a pic

Lost Patrol was around the same time (1991-ish) as Space Fleet, Mighty Warriors and Kerrunch.

Wow that picture is awesome, I remember playing this game at school

Apparently 'Lost Patrol' is from 2000ish and Jake Ya..whatsit (blonde ponytail guy) designed it. Seems to be a video game that is similar but older too. The 1991 version is the picture I linked and called Advanced Space Crusade. The Marine Scouts look exactly the same in the 90/naughties versions.

You are correct - I was misinformed that it was part of the (introductory?) series of box games they did.

There was also Tyranid Attack, which has a very familiar set of contents!

Since when do Tyranids wield swords?!?

Or do my eyes deceive me?

Once upon a time...

Once upon a time...

Somebody told me, way back in time there also were Space Dwarves.
I thought he was joking but now that I see Pirate Tyranids...

Are they real or fake?

Squats were real. I was too young at the time to have seen that specific box, but a few years on I had some metal minis very like them, and the arm and gun sprues look right.
