So are they doing another edition of 40k?
So just saw the games workshop site has what looks like new 40K rules in advance order. Is this a new set of rules / edition or just an update on existing rules or something? I thought they released a new box set and edition of 40K last year, didn't they? Am I mistaken or was the previous edition really bad and needed a refresh urgently. Does anyone know if they'll be releasing a new boxed game as well?

There is indeed a new edition of 40k hitting stores sometime soon. According to all sources it appears to be more of an updated 6th edition rather than something completely new. I would check out some websites like Bell of Lost Souls, Faeit, etc that all have decent discussions and posts about what is actually new/changed in the edition to save repeating it all here.

Sure ... no prob. Do you know if they're releasing a new box set? If so, I might try to grab the ones from the old set before they become more expensive.

New rulebook is coming out this Saturday. They plan on selling the same Dark Vengeance set with updated rules for a short while. Other than that it has been speculated that a new starter set will be eventually released that will include Blood Angels and Orks. While the changes may seem small, I feel like they do warrant to call this the 7th iteration of 40k. More emphasis on psychic phase and different mechanisms for summoning deamons is making this quite good.
