a bloated skirmish game.

What he said...

In a nutshell...

Isn't that the crux of their current situation.  A repeated formula.  Having bought and played several GW games over three decades it goes like this:

Bring out a nice new game packed full of goodies.

Bring out the other armies to support it.

Bring out a few Uber units.

Bring out more Uber units.

Bring out too many Uber units and wreck playability.

Discontinue game.


Bring out a nice new game packed full of goodies..................................

Hate me guys but I think I gonna apply....

Good luck. You can always come back here to be brought back from the influence of the Dark Side (as opposed to the Dark Lord who is a benevolent dictator. Praise him and the XBox he rode in on.)

Bring out a nice new game packed full of goodies

Except they're not brining out any nice new games any more, there is Warhammer, WarHammer 40K and the Hobbit (AKA Lord of the Rings).  That's their product range.  The other stuff under Specialist Games is empty, a few old rule books and a couple of figures for some of the systems and that's it.

Blood Bowl is about the only other game they produce and that's ancient.

Time was if you got bored of WH40K you could buy other products and games from GW, they're all gone now as GW retrench concentrate on their 'core' products.  This is very short sighted as it reduces revenue to GW but more importantly it allows punters GW Hobbyists to see there are other companies out there so they get used to the idea there are other games and gaming companies so they drift away into the wider world.  It also reduces the pool of ideas from which new products could come.

Used without proper credits and copyright in the new WD. The owner of the bases has been advised and legal action suggested.
IF someone uses GW pictures without a full A4 page of credits they sue you but they feel OK to do whatever they feel like.

Bigots.
