should have not used the term, "promised". GW said "yeah, only 1 box"
but considering GW's track record for pumping out add on sets, i would
put the odds at 80%. consider these:White Line Fever,Outlanders,Dark Mi
Deathwing,WHFB Magic,All the SM2 stuff(ork+squats,etc),Plague Fleet,plus
the other ones i forget at the moment, like that one for space crusade,
B.B. and whatever the one for Gorkamorka will be named.

If GW thinks money can be made with a add on, expect an add on.
and if that add on fixes some problems, that _is_ an extra
Mostly used as a tool for pushing new minis, which brings us to:

almost a 100% chance then, if new races show up,for a e40k add on.

cant see GW passing up possible sales for 6mm versions of the new 28 mm
minis.

then again, the release dates being pushed back for the IG and bugs
has me wondering on the "health" of the e40k sales.... which will effect
how much more is released for e40k
