PierreTheMime posted:I really like the look of Deimos-pattern Rhinos, but I'm a bit bummed that Forgeworld doesn't seem to offer just the upgrade bitz and has instead decided to sell the whole kit for a remarkable sum. Do people just use standard Rhinos or how do you all go about it? Aren't they complete models and not based on the original?

Cythereal posted:I'm guessing Horus will stay king poo poo of primarch mountain, though I could see Sanguinius being able to give him a run for his money. Sanguinius will probably be much more mobile to boot, comparable to Corax. Maybe a more straight-up fighting oriented version of Corax in general. Russ and especially Khan will be setup to kill other Primarchs I think. Sanguinius will be the Loyal sides version of Horus, as in able to kick the poo poo out of any other Primarch they come across, but he will of course lose against him. It will be interesting when they eventually release the Emperor.

Cythereal posted:I don't get why Khan would be set up to kill other primarchs. In the story so far, he's fought exactly one and that one was a draw (against Mortarion). Khan is described as a very very very good fighter, and routinely mentioned as at the top of the pile by the other Primarchs. And of course they'll release rules for the Emperor. They've said they're going to do a model for him, of course there will be rules. I imagine only playable in one specific scenario in the assault on the Vengeful Spirit but there will be rules for him.

Cythereal posted:Eh... every primarch gets hyped up, and Khan says himself in Scars that his only particular strength versus other primarchs is that none of them have ever seen him fight and so don't know what to expect. I'd expect him to be very hit-and-run oriented. Yeah they will. You go back less than 5 years and you'd have said that about Primarchs too.

boom boom boom posted:No way. Battle of the Abyss was poo poo, but it was also far better than anything written by Nick Kyme Yes way. Ben Counter was up his own arse so much that he refused to make suggested changes so they were left with the choice to release it after editing, ghost write the changes, or not release it at all. He was such a bellend about it that he didnt write another novel for Black Library for 5 years and was kicked off the Heresy for good.

I don't know anyone there anymore but I would seriously doubt their biggest cash cow for veteran gw players is in serious financial trouble given the amount of money splashed on FW at the nottingham HQ store on a weekly basis.

moths posted:The thinking is that FW would sell much more if they lowered the prices. You've pretty much got it here. There would come a point of diminishing returns where the market is just not big enough for FW miniatures to sustain the number needed to pay for it at a much lower price point. You then add in the fact that GW proper like FW prices being that high, because it means their standard tac squad looks a million times better and FW becomes effectively a non competing product to them.

Tbh I can see the reason for them shitcanning the upgrade kits that only fit on the pure resin models given they've released all those plastic ones now. But still, a bit disappointing.

tallkidwithglasses posted:This is often the case with customers that pirate rather than buying the official version of something, be it clothes, designer goods, software or resin. While piracy certainly erodes at FWs bottom line to some extent, it’s not a cut and dry equation where every tank China sells represents a lost FW sale. In fact, sales of Chinese tanks might drive sales of FW rulebooks, transfer sheets, and even expensive models. You are correct here in that a sale to china does not necessarily translate to a lost sale for FW. However I would also argue that the type of person to knowingly seek out counterfit FW stuff is also far more likely to just download the rulebooks instead of buying those as well. In fact one of the biggest complaints I hear is about how overpriced the FW books are. FW does indeed have a piracy problem, however the people that buy fakes will continue to buy fakes even if FW were to half the price. This is because China would just half their price too because they can churn this stuff out for pennies really. Ultimately FW will never please everyone because by their nature they are a small team with finite resources. In an ideal world every legion would have their Primarch and 3-5 unique units by now and they'd be back onto the Imperial armour series and making Xenos stuff while occasionally dropping a new unit/character for the heresy. A lot of the armies FW did were designed almost entirely by one person too. Kreig and the Eylisians in particular were just one guy who really wanted to do WW1/Starship Troopers and have since either moved on or been moved to bigger projects. Its a really weird situation where FW clearly couldnt cope with the huge popularity of the Horus Heresy explosion and I am genuinely surprised that GW proper didn't bring more of it in house with more plastic units to cover off the basic units/tanks etc and keep FW for the more exotic things. This to me is very similar to the LoTR explosion that GW had. Where they had a product that went wildly above expectation. With LoTR GW threw money and resources at it to the huge detriment of the company when the popularity wave died off. I wonder if they were worried that the heresy might suffer a similar fate so were reluctant to sink as much into it?
