Considering that AoS is a success and 40K is terrible mess that is losing players to Warmachine and shit likle that, how long till we get Age of Emperor?
>>
I doubt that will happen. 40k isn't doing that bad to my knowledge.

Aside from that though I do think 40k could deal with some changes of course. The fluff being more in line with AoS, and giving more equal shine to all the factions instead of just Space Marines, would be an improvement.

But I doubt anything like that will happen.
>>
>>50642601
Didn't the entire AoS line get outsold by a HH boxset?
>>
>>50642601

Could you provide numbers on 40k doing bad? I mean just within 20 minutes of my house there are 4 stores for it that have regular games and they just opened up a new one that's entirely dedicated to warhammer and it's booming. Maybe it's just where I live but it seems to be doing fine. Grognards complaining on tg asside.

Going by the supplement? No. Each and every campaign supplement kept with the status quo.

Comparatively WHFB campaign book "Sigmar's Blood" advanced the storyline unto the End Times by breaking the status quo.

S0 40K End Time is not coming. They will just produce books whose storylines won't go anywhere. "Just walking in circles" the fluff.

8th ed is coming soon. and they promised a big overhaul
>>
>>50642700
Not him.

According to the yearly report, AoS sold more than WHFB did in several years. Yet overall sales are down.

The downage has to come from somewhere. 40K looks like the suspect.

>>50642601
It's literally beginning right now. We've officially moved into End Times 40k with the Wrath of Magnus as GeeDubs begins the process of reintroducing all of the Primarchs into the 41st Millennium. While we may not get something as major of a change as Age of Smegmar, 8th Ed is coming soon and will likely be their attempt to cut a lot of bloat.

Curse of Wulfen and Wrath of Magnus haoppen before the 13th Black Crusade was launched. MoW ends with Logan and the Space Wolve heading to Cadia.

Do you realize how long have we known that Logan is on Cadia by the end of the setting's timeline. For 10+ fucking years. Wrath of Magnus didn't advance anything. It kist filled a hole in the existing timeline.

>>50642731
>All this vagueness.

You're talking shit. Do you have anything specific about how far general sales were down or how far up AOS sales went?

Fantasy's sales were minuscule compared to 40K, to the point that even if AOS doubled Fantasy's sales it still wouldn't close the gap.

Back your shit up with actual numbers, mate.

Also it's X-Wing that's overtaken 40K, not Warmachine. Warmachine is dying a death.
>>
>>50642852
The yearly report gives no numbers but we can conclude things from it.

Fantasy low sales were dragging down the profits for years. 40K kept trucking doing fine.

When fantasy sales increased with AoS. The profits declined. Clearly, AoS isn't the problem. It's earning more than WHFB did in previous years. So what's dragging down the overall earnings?.
>>
I wanted to get in 40K, but then AoS happened and I was worried WH40K might get the same treatment.
>>
>>50642905
Here is a hint. Armies with updated or new released models won't be squatted.

Armies that didn't get updated and has no releases will get squatted.

Currently, the TS/CSM have a lot of new models. So they ain't going anywhere.

The SOB are in danger, though. When was the last time they updated?
>>
>>50642731
>AoS sold more than WHFB did in several years
There hasn't been a WHFB release in several years anon. Selling more than 0 doesn't mean it sells for shit.
>>
>>50643005
But it sold something so fantasy sales are in the positive.
>>
>>50643018
This has probably something to do with the fact that there has been more releases in 1 year of AoS than in the last 5 years of WHFB

>AoS is a success
>>
>>50642893
This is pure speculation. As I said, you're assuming that AoS sales increase is significant, which is completely baseless. 40K is an overwhelmingly massive proportion of sales. Fantasy didn't even come close at the end. Unless AoS is outselling Fantasy several times over, it's increase won't matter at all.

>So what's dragging down the overall earnings?

AoS controversy puts off long-time 40K customers to the extent that it offsets any new interest sales on the Fantasy range and causes a dip in 40K sales. This is as valid and proven a claim as anything you've said.

Or the economy.

Brexit's definitely a possible culprit, since we're talking about a British company.
>>
>>50643247
Brexit should boost thier sales.
>>
>>50643282
Why?
>>
>>50643294
Pound plumetting, making their exports way more competitive.
>>
>>50643313
How is that going to help GW? They make their own products and mainly sell them in their own stores. I don't see how a lower export price is going to increase sales in this case.
>>
>>50643386
They sell their products in $ or € and calulate their profits in £. With the devaluation of the £ they get more pound per stuff they sell outside of the UK. They could even lower the prices and still make a profit.
>>
>>50642927
>Here is a hint. Armies with updated or new released models won't be squatted.
Tell that to the Tomb Kings players who had just had a massive release of new models in 8th Ed and then got squatted come AoS.
>>
>>50643429

didn't their models get re appropriated into a different faction?
>>
>>50643426
OK I see now. That makes a lot of sense. Although

>They could even lower the prices

Remember who you're talking about.
>>
>>50643442
They got turned into the Mummies faction which was discontinued within a year, all of their models were Last Chance'd, and now are no longer sold by GW. No Warsphinxes, no Necro Knights, nothin'.

The only thing from with any ties to Nehekhara now existing at Nagash, Arkhan, and Neferata.

The Tomb Kings and their models are all gone.

>>50643197
So you saying that fantasy sales with or without AoS are insignificant and wouldn't harm or help the earnings. So ignoring fantasy.

40K is the deciding factor. Seeing that the sales are declining. This means that 40K is under-performing.

The economies of both the US and UK are looking somewhat uncertain due to both political climates, and people are spending less money because of it (either in spending or in hiring new people).

Overall employment of middle-class/lower-upper-class individuals is going down, and real wages are going down as well. As such, people who play these games have less money and less time to spend on this hobby.

At least, this is how things are in my area.
>>
>>50643247
Also the election of Donald Trump has thrown a gigantic monkey wrench into the American economy and will continue to do so for at least 6mo after he's sworn in in January. While the markets are cautiously optimistic now, that can flip on a dime, and people are being very careful with their money.

Also, what >>50647401 said.

Mmm I think they are ramping up to "End Times lite". The return of daemon primarchs and the 13th crusade (that will inevitably result in failure) might weaken the imperium more. In fact I think I remember reading rumors about the end times coming for 40k but not flipping the entire game on its head like AoS did.

I sincerely hope they fucking kill the Emperor already and begin his reincarnation or some shit like that

Fantasy was underselling in the previous years and yet GW earned a profit thanks to 40K.

When fantasy sales upped with AoS in current year, GW profits went down. So what's the one thing that could be responsible? 40K.

You 40K players are not supporting the hobby.

If BoltS is to believed, WHFB was at 5% of GW's sales in previous years. When it was replaced with AoS, sales jumped up by 30%.

So how the hell does 30% increase in sales result in profit loss? It doesn't. There is a sale decrease in another part of the IP, and it's 40K.

It's one way to see it, since it could have been just AoS releases not selling as much as they anticipated and GW manufacturing too much of it.

Also GW != the hobby
>>
Hey guys, you think the fact that GW likes to jerk their customers around constantly and do shitty anti-consumer business moves like obsoleting popular old units to ensure the sale of new ones and changing faction lore to suit the whims of writers who hate them rather than the people who pay money to play them has something to do with lowering profits?

Well, seeing as FFG revenue is in the 40 to 50 million range, while GW's revenue is in the 100 million range when you discount royalties, it can't be that much higher.
Also, that pic is from a study based on 3rd parties only.

FFG revenues will be mathematically smaller anyway due to the fact that GW has its own distribution network while FFG relies on third party retailers who take their cut of the price of what they sell, so there's that.

AoS the board game is decent, AoS the setting and lore is one of the worst things GW has ever done, the story is incredibly laughable and i have yet to meet an actual person who takes the lore seriously or knows more then what is needed to get a basic grasp of the story.

We might get an age of the Big E rule rewrite, but it wont be a nukeing of the universe like last time.

>>50658113
You do know games workshop is a business right
Nobody buys x = x dies

Despite the whole 'gw is not the hobby' thing gw is, in fact, 40k and fantasy, now AoS

So what? It's still popular.
>>
>>50660545
its a wargame lol.

>So what? Its still popular.
Right....ignoring the fact that hardly anyone compared to 40k actually plays it.

I mean you can live in your AoS echo chamber, but AoS failed to get a good launch. Like i said the game itself is pretty good, but the story and lore are fucking a joke.

Karl Franz floated through space holding the soul of the world until a random dragon flew by and said hey yo lets be friends and make a whole new universe for the lawls. Then to free the elves they go and punch another evil dragon in the gut so he barfs up all the elven souls so they can be tree people. Then to make his super cool army of totally not space marines he puts the souls of warriors from any and all races into powerful suit of armor that shall know no fear, and gives then bolt throwers, oh by they are also made up of old bad guy soul too. Skaven, human, dwarf, what ever we just turned them into human looking and put them in power armor. THEN lets just create all these different worlds for each race to live on because reasons.

>This is actual lore

Guess what? people didn't buy "lore" they buy miniatures for game. And unlike 40k AoS have good rules and nice looking miniatures.
>>
>>50660767
Recovered is a very strong word, its limping along, you have one faction thats completely worthless, IE Death, 2 massively powerful faction sigmarines, and sylvaneth, and then a decent one chaos.

Yeah but guess what keeps people buying minis? Lore, you can have the prettiest models around but unless you have a decent story behind them, they have no sentimental value, in the sense of meaning to them.

Hell we have 4 game stores in my city, 3 being LFGS, and one being a GW store.

AoS at every single one, is pushed back to a single 4x4 table, that hardly gets used. Even the GW store only promotes it because GW makes them, death is in a single corner, and the entire AoS line is put on the smallest wall and stocked the least.

WHFB which i openly admit as a game had a lot of flaws, but nuking the the entire story was not the right call, sure they got a decent amount of initial sales, but its still nothing compared to what it could have been.

The nice minies are not just limited to AoS, thats across the board.

I mean again you can say what you want and believe AoS is totally fine as a product and is doing well, when no matter where you go, its only supported because GW forces it on its stores.

Again the model are cool to paint sure, but the story is pure crap and sales show that.

>>50660710
Also my apologies he is RUMORED to be writing rules for AoS which in hignsite aint all that bad so long as he writes all the rules. Ward books vs ward books are fairly balanced.

That is not actually correct,
people DO enjoy factions for their lore and characters likewise, or just simply collect.
Good writing helps sell a setting otherwise you remain a crunch/flashy thing that will get stomped the moment people with enough funds can get market share and out flash/crunch you.
Hell I by the DZC books for this reason, i actually enjoy the writing in the rule books that come with it and i think it's a shame that Hawk doesn't allow lore to be as available as GW does.

Fantasy was an example of what happens when GW shoots themselves in the foot.

The problem Fantasy had was the intoduction to get into the game was pure fucking garbage, in order to have a decent army you needed to drop like 600 bucks. Like for undead you needed a crap ton of zombies like 4+ and you only got what? 10 a box at 40 USD a box?
>>
>>50661076
This was also a factor, probably another reason why lizardmen were popular was because it didn't needed a fucking load of models to play with it
>>
>>50661120
Exactly, that was the fault of fantasy, was it reach a point where long term players already had everything they needed, and new players needed to spend a small fortune to get into it, ontop of that since things got removed off the board so quickly, painting them up seemed pointless.

a much better move would have been to start pumping out new models, same factions, bring in the AoS rules, but keep the lore.

It would have been great!

>>
>>50661178
>and that's why 40k is dying outside GW stores
so gw is dying because it has lore
that makes complete sense because if you remember my point was lore will move product.
Furthermore it would be good to note X-wing is probably a prime example of that, crunch is okay, the minis are nothing to write home about but it's the fan investment and the community that likely helps it push.
>Yes of course, but it doesn't make sales.
That's a contradiction.
Either lore assists in making sales or it doesn't make sales.
and you admit it helps sell, which means it does make sales. It doesn't mean it necessarily pushes large amounts of product but it helps none the less.
>They are much better designed and balanced than 40k.
Since when was AoS balanced? and how is that in anyway comparably better?
AoS's rules are brief.
Which should not be mistaken with depth anymore then overly complex rules. in actuality it's a short handed LotR rule set.
40k's are the same as always with a bit more bloat with fliers and a lot more bloat with formations and allies and objective secured something AoS is less prone to because of it's shove anything you want into your army philosophy. But that a bad game system does not make.

>But they are much better, sigmarines aren't manlets and ironjaws looks awesome.

I didn't necessarily doubt that, I just admit there are issues with the rules and the models aren't stellar. given your previous example this should have prevented the game from being viable.
a lot of those games were worse from what i remember, it does help that X-wing came out near nostalgia hype.

Does not matter how good you are In melee if you have to slowly move across the board getting shot at the whole time with not way to shoot back, then with a thinned out buffed melee unit you enter combat with in touched melee, which btw they still are gonna get shot at the rest of the game.

I mean you can do any sort of mental gymnastics you want but the only way death is viable and competitive is if you manage to dig up some tomb King archers

40k the emperor appears and is equivalent to a god and save what's left of humanity

40k the big E literally gets a necron c'tan called the void dragon that came from the stars to help him make and control technology
AoS sigmar randomly befriends a star dragon to help him create life

40k the great crusade starts and things are looking good.
AoS a great ordering of world stats and things look good

Also, there is still no confirmmation that Emperor made deal with Void Dragon.

Except the fact that Sigmar fighting against Chaos, while Great Crusade was just contimuation of Unification Wars.

Wow, Sigmar finally understood, after death of old world, thyat usual mortal aren't great against Chaos, so he makes his own Chaos Warriors.
>40k Horus get pissed and Rebels becuase daddy ignored him

>AoS universe goes to shit
Nope.
>>
>>50662900
As a guy who read both settings, you really reaching and lying at some points.

What screwed humanity in the Age of Strife is the Iron Men rebellions and psyker imploding into warp rifts. Not to mention warp storms. It wasn't a direct effort by Chaos. In fact, the rest of races of the galaxy like the Eldar and Orks were doing just fine.

>Void Dragon

It was a wounded shard of a C'tan that the Emperor found and earth and beat up.

>AoS sigmar randomly befriends a star dragon to help him create life

Dracthoian didn't and doesn't create life, other than the star dragon children. Also Dracho might be Sotek.

>AoS a great ordering of world stats and things look good

You mean colonization and adventure. There wasn't like big enemy races or Chaos during early stages of the Age of Myth.

>AoS sigmar gets bord and start making sigmarines

Sigmar didn't get bored. He hot his ass kicked by Archaon and Chaos who conquered 7 out of the 8 Realms and forced Sigmar to retreat to his realm where he in, the Age of Chaos, spent his time creating holy warriors to reconquer the realms and drive off Chaos.

>AoS Negash rebels because sigmar ignored his promise to him

Nagash doesn't rebel. Nagash is not beholden to anyone. Nagash rules, he isn't ruled. Nagash made a deal with Archaon that if he allowed the gate of Death to fall in Chaos's hands, then Archaon and Chaos will leave his realm alone.

And this happened before Sigmar created the Stormcast.

So I'll read it for you, basically what happened was GW model sales where down 15% and so every one start to pull out hence why in the sock tracker I linked you see it fall like a rock in 2016 becuase GW found out their sales of AoS was shit.

You do understand that article was put out after AoS and after they released their sales data for AoS and then you see their stocks fall like a rock until mid 2016 when they started pumping out 40k stuff right? Or are you just ignoring that part?

>>hurr it's just added the point, durr it's bad because I dislike it
no, I'm sorry you cannot into logic but it would necessitate that AoS MUST have been built around the point system to be properly balanced.
otherwise the additions, no matter how well thought out (given the nature of this company it would not be likely to be thought out) would be arbitrary and there will be units that are not properly costed, designed for or arround pitched battle play.
Thus to some extent imbalanced.
this does not necessitate a broke piece of shit but not the paragon of what you were indicating.

so the warscrolls were not designed before the point system was introduced and their effects were changed to suit the point system with particular attention be balancing hundreds of different units against each other.

While I do t think that 40k is going full AoS, there are a lot of good things AoS does that should be emulated in 40k.

- no more templates. Blast weapons do a d6 or d3 number of wounds like in AoS.
- no more distinction between vehicles and MCs. Everything should be T and W based.
- formations should cost points.

I don't think formations are inherently bad, but at no cost they are.

I would like to see a, your WS is this? You hit on this, that's it.

Your bs skill is this? You Hit on this.

T and str can be the same as is and it's good.

I would LOVE to see the way AoS does armor saves where you will always get an armor save through based on modifiers. So like if you have AP 1 that should negate yor armor by 2 so a 2 up is then a 4 up
>>

Also would love to see how they do in 30k where a single unit can not make up a given %of the whole army.

IE if you have a lord of war that's 500 points your tota army needs to be 2000 points because the rule would be no single unit in your army can contain 25% of the army's total value, that way you can prevent cheese Death Stars or bringing shw to low point games.

Oh and get rid of ally matrix

that's always been the case the fuck are you trying to say here?
>T and str can be the same as is and it's good.
no
no it isn't.
and not only because i'm getting in my t7 castilaxs in and they will die to bolter fire super fucking easily then
>kill MCs with bolters
>I don't care if it has 20 wounds i have fury of the legion and 20 men in Rapid fire range. it will down in bolts

>>50664782
Clarifying I mean in refused to, the whole conversation that happens during the assault phase of

"Ok what's your weapon skill.....ok mines this but these guys have WS 5 so then hold on I need to see what I have more of....ok so my over all WS is 5 yours is? Ok 6 so you hit on 3s I'll hit on....5s, no wait sorry double plus one I hit on 4s still."

It's just clunky, I would like to see either a this weapon hits on X or WS X hits on y

Again the str of weapons could be changed to how AoS does it of it wounds on X ect ect or something along those line.

you've got a solid point there, i don't like it with WS because some people are braindead.

but
>Again the str of weapons could be changed to how AoS does it of it wounds on X ect ect or something along those line.
Nah man
we loose ID
armour values.
Guardsmen and sisters take bolt rounds as well as marines.
complete balancing of everything.
it also removes all my nice rad abilities, so no stacking rad furnaces and cleansers.
it's streamlining in the worst way

The Gid Emperors peace be upon you, brother.

>>50665145
Hmmmm what about this one, we keep the same S and T system we have now, BUT! We start to play around with armor pen effecting saves either plus or minus.

So let's say you have a really strong gun, but it's going no armor pen, like s10 ap5 what if for every 2 values above your Sv value, it's a plus one to your save throw so it would go like this.

Say we got a Bolter AP 5
And I wound let's say something with a 3+ but because the Sv to AP difference is 2 I get a 2+

Or we could do something similar with str, or do a rending system for all weapons, a wound of a 6 reducing armor or something.

Again personally I don't have muh qualm with the shooting system save for the massive ease of access to cheap ap2 and D
>>
>>50665338
It's interesting, I like it and it does help with marines dying all the time... a bit.
>>
>>50666903
It might make terminators actually servive.

Ap2 ok your same is now a 3+ AP 1 it's a 4+

Space Marines (one of the strongest armies in the game) will get OP buffed out special characters while Orks (worse faction in the game) will continue to get curb stomped

Ave, true to emperor Trump!

>40k is a terrible mess losing players to Warmachine
Can I get some sauce on that? Because ever since Mk.III people in my area have been fleeing that sinking ship like plague rats from a Spanish galleon. The lists are shit and there's no 'your dudes,' which is dumb as fuck. Also daemon Primarchs are a good sign that 40k is in fact NOT going End Times any time soon. That coupled with Tau and Spess Muhreenz being GW's most popular products would make that a bad move.

Yeah, just like Nagash release for WHFB.
>>
>>50647780
when was the last time AoS got models?

40k has had a steady stream of releases every week and where is sigmar?
>>
>>50674133

This week. New starter

I asked that question of a GW slave/gretchin/employee and they said the story WAS being advanced. Magnus the Red is coming back and will be kicking the Space Wolves in the 'nads. He then said that with the Space Wolves 13th Great company returning it was more than likely we would see the return of Leman Russ *nudge nudge, wink wink*

From there he went insane and said that it was possible we would see a return of lots more primarchs but I think that was just wishful thinking on his part.

>so the warscrolls were not designed before the point system was introduced and their effects were changed to suit the point system with particular attention be balancing hundreds of different units against each other.
Not oinly new, they remade ALL warscrolls and made all units useful.
>I quite to play infinity.
ANIME PLEB!
>man i wish my old store was still open so i could get a game in.
Wut? YOu cannot play Warhammer outside your old store?
>not true, it works for oldfags too.
Well, yes, I agree, but still lore doesn't make the main sales, it's support them. And when you have good models and rules you doesn't need "muh lore".
>>
>>50674700
Reboxed 6 years old starter you mean.
>>
>>50675189
New bases, new rules, new fluff.
And yeah they couldn't sell it for 6 years, when WHFB was changed to Warhammer Age of Sigmar it sold out for few days

Old models

Litteraly WHFB leftovers
>>
>>50675411
>>50675668
It's new box, and it's sells well.
>>
>>50675693
So you confirm, there has been no new models for AoS for 5 or 6 months now.
>>
>>50675752
>If it was rebox of old unpopular starter it doesn't count!
You are pathetic, see, Spire of Dawn success is another evedience of AoS popularity.
>there has been no new models for AoS for 5 or 6 months now.
Sylaneths released in summer.
>>
>>50675770
Yeah, in early july. That's 5 months and a half.

Since then AoS only got a repacking of an old set, without even a new run of production since it's the old unsold IoB boxes.
>>
>>50675795
>without even a new run of production since it's the old unsold IoB boxes.
And again, they were unsold for 6 years, and sold out after fews days since they were reboxed for AoS.
>>
>>50675812
If your point was that the 8th edition was shit I agree wholeheartedly.

Still, GW probably understands that AoS is tanking hard and doesn't invest in it anymore.
>>
>>50675854
>If your point was that the 8th edition was shit
My point that the whole WHFB was shit.
>Still, GW probably understands that AoS is tanking hard and doesn't invest in it anymore.
Lolwut? It's just pause between seasons, first season was about BTFOing Khorne and Nurgle, now they just busy with planing the next wave, winter and spring for AoS, summer and fall for 40k.
>>
>>50676034
You're deluded, lad. GWs stocks are on freefall as soon as they announce AoS releases. Considering the weight of the shareholders in the decision making you better be ready for more 40K.

Still no any proofs.
