I *almost* get it, there's a lot of 40k refugees looking for other game systems, so making a one-off alternate universe box where the mechs are more 40k flavoured could encourage more new players.
That being said, I don't think Catalyst has enough resources available to be spending time and money on one-off sets that don't add anything to the main game. A number of people have said they want the new models to use as pirate mechs (I personally think they're pretty ugly).
Though, every time I see BattleTech Gothic, my brain automatically assumes its Battlefleet Gothic and I get excited that there might be a new BFG game coming out.
One of the peeps I know via Twitter is a fellow gamer who is hardcore about old-school 40K.
He and one of his fellow players were mocking this set last night, noting that its MSRP was so high that it was as if Catalyst was going after 40K's price point as well as its audience.
If this doesn't actually succeed at bringing anyone in, then it might be the last AU box we get for a very long time. _________________ "I wish I could write as mysterious as a cat." -Edgar Allen Poe"I knew there was something special about you, but I never realized you were really a cat."
