So....... who's going to pick me up one?
I'll stuff a pie in my face if you do
Only in limited edition on April 1st, only at the Forgeworld Open Day...
I smell a April's fool in preparation... sorry
Even if it said prior it release date...
Blood Angels painting soon...
No way would any company be that cruel now. As a jokey on the website only order that you click the button and get a "haha" maybe. But to get people come rushing through the doors at the open day to queue for one? Unlikely
You are joking I assume?
It's in limited numbers on sunday ahead of it's official release date to everyone else.
Will not be the first time FW release a model at it Open Day, but it was still available to order online, this time no...
Also it no where to be found on the website except if you have the direct link via the email.
Not what FW does normally
Blood Angels painting soon...
Not totally joking... There is no direct link on FW site, only via email. If it was to have more people hoping to get that piece this weekend, will be announce on there website.
Hoping I'm wrong with the April's Fool!
Blood Angels painting soon...
This is FW's response to people on FB saying that it's an April fools joke. I think everyone should stop panicing that everything GW\FW does in March is an April fools joke. They usually make it something pretty obvious, like last years how to roll dice book, or the year before with their spray gun that in one spray gives you a 'eavy metal quality minuture.We'd like to point out that today isn't April Fool's day chaps
There is no direct link to the new pred or decimator weapons either, thats because these will not be available to pre order for a while but are available in small numbers at the open day. They will go on general sale (and so on the website to pre-order) in the future, judging by last year it could be anything upto a few months later.

At least, FW Facebook page has stated it'll be limited pre release "in advance of its scheduled release"... its not claimed it'll only ever be available on the day.

Brimstone. Gone but not forgotten.
It's in a newsletter right now, it's real
maybe the earlier leak forced their hand on the release timing?
'Hold the line, sons of the Empire
I see the same fear in you that would take the heart of me,
but fear not for we don't auto break and can re-roll for it next turn.
a day may come when Robin Cruddace writes a good book, but it is not this day
a day may come when Ewar doesn't powergame, but it is not this day
This day our dice will roll sixes
This day we will be victorious!
Reason why I still think in a April's fool:
From FB: On sale in limited numbers at the Forge World Open Day on Sunday, and also available to pre-order now for despatch from 10th April, comes:

Why the StormEagle doesn't get the same announcement...
I hope it isnt a April's Fools, cause it way better than the StormRaven but... Will see on Monday!
Blood Angels painting soon...
Text from the news letter:
Space Marine Storm Eagle Assault Gunship
The legendary mobility of the Adeptus Astartes has won planet-spanning conflicts with a single strike; providing the precise application of deadly force at the point where it proved most decisive. A Chapter’s fleet of attack craft is the keystone that makes this possible, and it is the iconic Thunderhawks and Drop Pods that are at the forefront. Craft such as the Storm Eagle Assault Gunship follow close behind to lend their weapons to the devastating assault.
A formidable gunship, the Storm Eagle mounts fearsome firepower for a vehicle of its size and is capable of transporting twenty Space Marines directly into the thick of an assault. The exact provenance of the Storm Eagle is unknown, but it bears clear similarities to the Stormravens employed by the Blood Angels and Grey Knights. Certain sources place the principal manufacture of the Storm Eagle upon Tigrus and Anvilus IX, both primary-grade Forge Worlds that suffered catastrophic damage during the Horus Heresy.
In recent decades the number of Storm Eagles in active service has begun to increase, especially amongst those Chapters known to have favourable relations with the Adeptus Mechanicus. This has lead some observers to believe that production has been restored at an as yet unknown location.
Designed by Stuart Williamson, the Storm Eagle is a complete resin and plastic kit which is packed with some incredible design work, including a fully detailed interior. It will be available to purchase in limited numbers at the Forge World Open Day on Sunday 1st April, in advance of its scheduled release date, for £80.
Because it won't be available to pre-order for quite a while yet.

@Killgore - you can avoid the queue, go late in the day, any out of stock items, including day only models/pre-releases, etc.. will be dispatched to your home with no additional p&p.
Forgeworld has now explicitly said the Storm Eagle is not an April Fools joke.
holy smokes, that is one frickin awesome plane/thing...
