Yeah, I kicked myself the other day when I realised that back when I got into the hobby again all that stuff was still available, but I was so focussed on 40k that I didn't buy any of it. Which is why when I wanted some Necromunda stuff a few weeks ago I had to pay through the nose for an Orlock gang on Ebay. And there's basically no chance of me having a Gothic fleet unless they re-release it. Which is a shame, because the Gothic PC game is reminding me how awesome those models were.

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:So I saw a random video saying that GW is magically not poo poo anymore and that they're actually soliciting feedback. They're making a concerted effort to not be poo poo. Apart from addressing some of the long-term wish list stuff like specialist games and 'stealer cults, they're making a push with community outreach. There are daily painting videos on their youtube, amusing adverts for new products, and some of that old knowing self-awareness in how they talk about stuff. White Dwarf is back as a proper monthly magazine with actual give-a-poo poo content (and promotional freebies). While they aren't reducing prices on existing kits, the new ones are either upping what you get for your money or coming in cheaper. There's a long way to go to make up for the past decade of decline, but they have made some real strides lately. I forgot to say, they have introduce a limited print on demand for old metal models, and while Finecast isn't entirely dead yet it is firmly behind the product line's Fritzel hatch. All new character models are small sprue plastics now. Lovely Joe Stalin fucked around with this message at 03:13 on Dec 5, 2016 |

JcDent posted:I'm a fan of not having to look up or to remember stats. And USR can go overboard real fast (hello, Rend and Shred, as well as the dynamic duo of Prefered Enemy and Hatred). As on the matter of shields, some of them are magical, some of them are bucklers, and so on and so forth. I think it's a cool idea. A relatively cheap book that lets you take small allied groups/sampler forces without the necessity to buy multiple codex books.

Shadin posted:Is there a link to where GW has stated that the future releases for Blood Bowl are going to be Forge World only and not plastic? So far all I can find are people repeating the rumor in comments but can't find actual confirmation. I don't have a link but Specialist Games being under Forge World is something I was told by the people behind this release of Bloodbowl at Warhammerfest. Bear in mind though that as we see with the recent Heresy boxed games and, indeed, the Bloodbowl starter, that doesn't necessarily preclude plastic models. JcDent posted:Kevin Roundtree is not infallible and it takes more than a single marketing guy to turn around a company that has been bad for so long. What's wrong with it? All I've heard is positive feedback that it does the job it was aimed at. Small allied detachments from various existing factions that saves you from having to buy a book for each. The Sisters list might not be much of a change, but then I wasn't expecting it to be. Sisters will either be getting a complete range reset or they will be Squatted in the next couple of years. Either way putting a huge effort into a new list for them in this book seems like a low priority. Lovely Joe Stalin fucked around with this message at 16:32 on Dec 18, 2016 |

Actually Specialist Games died because they kept loving up the translation costs to a point where they were endangering the company. The stock space problem is something they already have with 40k and Fantasy, and it isn't stopping them releasing new kits for those lines.

That's perfectly in keeping with England after the Norman Conquest. Nobility speaking Norman-French, subjugated Anglo-Saxons speaking English.
