So, new year, time of change. Anyone want to remake/update the OP? A bunch of games stopped receiving any pretense of support altogether, Blood Bowl got rereleased, some poo poo's appeared like the AoS dungeon crawler and a bunch of boxes I'm not really sure which are actually games and which are glorified "buy moaar minis" promo sets, and so on. And I've since discovered modern games and lost any will to go back to GW products so :effort:

If people don't mind a little delay in a decent OP, I made a new thread here - https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3804679

I'm at work at the moment but can get it up to snuff this evening.

There's any info about the factions in the upcoming Adeptus Titanicus game? It will just be Imperium vs Chaos or we'll have the chance to see some gargants?

Probably loyalists vs. traitors.
AT is going to straight up be Loyalists vs. Traitors. There are two reasons for this - 1) one set of models is cheaper; and 2) HH stuff sells like gangbusters. I would imagine if the game sells well enough, we might see some expansion into Eldar and Orks from FW, but it would have to sell really, really well to see that. I'd love to say that we might see extra rules and datacards in WD, but GW aren't going to put out anything for models they don't currently produce.

I am amused that they won't remake epic because "titans, tanks, and infantry" are 40k already.

Well yeah, but it's entirely the wrong scale and one of the worst things to happen to 40k was trying to shoehorn epic sized battles and armies into 25mm

Totally agree with that, but are they going to admit that Apocalypse is stupid and stop making super heavies?

"More/bigger is better" seems to be a prevailing attitude among hams fans.

ASK ME ABOUT HOW SCOTLAND'S PROPOSED TRANS LEGISLATION IS DIVISIVE AS HELL BECAUSE IT IS SO SWEEPING THAT IT COULD BE POTENTIALLY ABUSED AT A TIME WHERE THE LACK OF SAFETY FOR WOMEN HAS BEEN SO GLARING
Gw's statement makes sense to me. If modern 40k is epic with bigger and more expensive minis why would you recreate the same thing and make less money on it?

The real surprise is that they are admitting that they turned 40k into epic with bigger models.

Epic seems to do every faction better than 40k.

Epic isn't concerned about selling 13 year old kids piles of plastic models.

You guys know there is an updated thread, right? https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3804679

Let's do the space-time warp again!

Well this is the thread dedicated to tending products abandoned by their creators and left in the wilderness, it's not exactly surprising we'd all stick around in the old thread reminiscing about its glory days.

Oooh, what are the details on this?

There's now a post up for the spring meetup - https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?noseen=0&threadid=3805017&perpage=40&pagenumber=1#pti8 - current plan is the 18th of March. Mainly 40k / 30k but everyone's welcome to chill out and get games in of whatever. May be an ideal time to try out the new challenge meal :)

I got these in a lot a few years ago, whoever it was that sold them said they were Tyranid BFG pieces. I've never been able to identify them, anyone have any ideas?

I remember it being shit.

This year's Horus Heresy Weekender is going to have an Adeptus Titanicus game using 40K scale titans.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say they are not BFG bits.

Maybe some company put out a line of bioships at some point? You might want to try the SG forums

There's another Warhammer Quest box on the way: https://www.warhammer-community.com/2017/01/24/your-quest-continues/


No new heroes from the looks of things, maybe new sculpts?

And it must die because we can't have nice things. Just like the specialist games.

It was fun while it lasted. Goodnight, sweet thread.
