if the box says games workshop on it with no mention of forgeworld, is sold from the games workshop webstore but not forgeworlds, and the barbies in it are made from plastic and not resin, then its a games wormshop product and it doesnt matter if theyre gutting forgeworld to make it

trying to use forgeworld, a wholly owned subsidy of gw, as some kind of scapegoat for gws anti consumerist bullshit is loving dumb and you should feel dumb for tricking yourself into that dumb line of thought, you dumb dumb

I’ve got no loving idea what you’re talking about.

When you said it’s being “handled” I thought you meant the GW prime studio was designing it all. They aren’t.

New Necromunda is a turd as far as I’m concerned.

Loads better than regular 40k.

Based on this post I tend to agree (in general).

I'm hoping the new killteam will have experience trees and other fun stuff (apparently it has d10s, so who knows what craziness GW has been up to).

I now really want to get my crazy guard vets back into SWA games.

A photo is floating around that purports a new Gorkamorka release later this year. It was probably just a stockist speculating what the SG release would be and it's almost certainly supposed to be AT, but man what I would kill for a good new Gorkamorka.

I can't believe they don't sell the Necromunda rulebook by itself.

Between that and how poorly they've handled 30k lately, I thing Game Workshop proper needs to have a long conversation with Forgeworld about how to sell and support games

Their stupid excuse for this is that because it has rules for the board game version, it would cause confusion if sold separately.

I wrote GW Digital and requested that NM and the Gang War supplements be put out in digital format, and the response was that they were very busy with a multitude of releases, and that they would hopefully get to it in the near future. So, it wasn't a firm "no" at any rate.

And yeah, putting Specialist Games into the hands of known bad rules writers and poor decision makers Forge World was a bad, bad mistake.

Doesn't mean that the "bad at business" part isn't annoying.

Like, what other developer is so desperately clinging to paper rules? Warlord Games at least has the excuse of historical miniatures being made basically everywhere, and they don't gently caress up nearly as often.

I’d love for GM to come back but how in the hell are they going to support another game. (I hope the answer is hire more and expand SG but I doubt that).

I don't know how they'll support it, but part of it will likely be that its release will overlap/be close to the release of the 40k Ork Codex in December, and that line needs a massive overhaul

Gorkamorka just being a book that works with the new wave of ork releases is probably a sensible bet, so they won't do that. :negative:

I doubt they'll put something out unless it can be a box with terrain. Surely they'll have to expand SG if this is coming.

I wouldn't be surprised if they did Gorkamorka but it was just a rulebook and a box of 40k models, like the Gangs of Comorragh box. Especially since the part of the 40k Ork range most in need of new models is the vehicles.

This is the only way I can see it happening. Just a box with a rulebook to sell you stuff they were going to sell anyway.

Honestly if it results in updated ork models with the same quality as the Primaris releases I’d be OK with this.

I implied that GW is doing better at games than Forgeworld right now. I never said that GW would never do anything terrible. I know you're whole shtick is being wildly antagonistic about games for some reason, you get great enjoyment out of that, but come on dude.

i do enjoy riling up the overly sensitive fans of gw, it is true

in this particular case, i think its funny you believe the braindead way necromunda has been released doesnt have the full blessing of gw, regardless of which of their branches wrote the rules

Except you never rile anyone up, you just make me sad that someone cares enough about something as dumb as miniature gaming to post in threads endlessly about not liking a particular brand.

Whether a team is under FW or not doesn't seem to matter, the shadespire releases have been amazing in every way. If anything the main lines need to take a lesson from how much value you can fit into a $30 box like the shadespire warbands.

There’s a lot of bias though too because SG are going pretty great even compared to the rest of the industry but still everyone constantly laments “lol Gayme$ Workshit amirite” which literally has no value as a point of discussion. It’s just cool and good poster KFFF jerking off to how edgy he is and how he totally owned wargamers on an obscure Internet forum Popular Online Community SomethingAwful.com.

For real. I am considering doing Fyreslayerz for Age of Sigmar but paying 30 bucks for a single character is tough after buying the 4 Fyreslayer Dwarfs and a bunch of cards for 30.
