News: Incoming! Spearhead

Hi all, Slick here. The latest GW newsletter contains some exciting news, although it is a bit odd. The upcoming issues of White Dwarf will apparently feature another 40K expansion, this one being called Spearhead! The good news is it will feature a lot of new model releases and continuing support with new material in WD and online. From the description though, it sounds like this expansion is basically adding more of a certain type of mission to the game. Did we not just get Battle Missions??? It sounds like Spearhead could be a lot of fun, but it would also be nice if GW would focus on their regular 40K/Fantasy army release schedule as well. The newsletter does mention exciting new plastic kits... which could imply a new plastic superheavy ... Time will tell. Your thoughts?
