Hi,
minor update from a Spanish Blog on the 2013 Mystery Box, that seems not to be Bloodbowl:
http://www.misolvidadasfiguras.es/2013/0...tubre.html
(translation by Rickyard over at faeit212):
It was confirmed in Games Day that it was going to be a skirmish game based in Warhammer 40k universe, no other details given.
By the last things I read (and sure I have missed some entry), it was discussed to be released about the end of september but last thing I got confirmed, and I quote: excluding a disaster the october launch will be a warhammer 40k skirmish boxed game called Inquisition. I don't have any other detail about the game or the minis that will be included, but it seems that they will be 28 mm. and not like Inquisitor scale models. I am personally charmed that they are Inquisitors so I will expand my collection.
So they are leaving the new Space Marine release for september (don't know if it will be still any mini left to be known a month before its release) and for october.
As a reminder, here the old rumour by TastyTaste over at BoK:
Rumor Has It: Blood Bowl isn’t coming, but no one expects the…

Well we are closing in on that time of year again. The time of year when people start to wonder what little surprise Games Workshop is going to pull out of their hat for a special limited release. If GW keeps their every other year track record you can expect something.
Everyone and their mother claims it will be Bloodbowl 2013, sadly I have news for you it ain't coming. Besides Games Workshop licenses Bloodbowl out to any 3rd-party developer who can write a check; Blood Bowl was just one of those rumors that makes sense to a fan-boi, but not (remember Dreadfleet) Games Workshop. Speaking of misfires Games Workshop cannot afford to take random risks. Now, GW has consolidated (killing off specialists games) there IPs, they are turning to making new products.
With a lust for a Space Hulk type gravy train GW will return to what makes them the most money: the Warhammer 40k universe.
So, what is up GW's sleeve?
GW is about to enter the skirmish scene with the release of
Warhammer 40k: Inquisition
Inquisition is designed for 2-4 players and each side will use custom cards and dice. Army sizes consist of about 5-10 models per side. A whole new set of models drawn from Blanche artwork will accompany. The game should be flexible as you can make and design your own Inquisitorial retinue. As for rules complexity that is anyone's guess, but the general marketing goal for Inquisition is a gateway game into the greater Warhammer 40k universe.
Beyond that GW, seems to be taking cues from Kickstarter projects like Sedition Wars and home-brewed rules like Inq28 for Inquisitor. This also might not end up as a limited edition run, but that all depends on sales, and if any support is continued will be done through digital expansions and updates.
As it is that is all I have for now, but if my sources hold true expect more information as it comes!
