Now that GW has severed ties with Fantasy Flight Games, does anyone have any idea what their plans are for their licenses? I would love to see some expansions for Dungeon Quest and some of their other products but there is nothing much out there on the interwebs about this companies agenda.

Anyway, GW is quieter than a shrews fart when it comes to any sort of information and it brings me great nerd rage.

I digress. Please, also feel free to discuss in this thread what you would like to see from GW, they might just hear you..

Except for the fact that people actually play 40k/AoS.
Try finding someone that plays your niche wargames in a moderate sized city.

Also despite GW's fears X-Wing is not really a competitor to Warhammer since it forgoes the modeling/painting aspect that is a huge part of the hobby.

In what way? Sure, 5 Dudes in Infinity and 5 Dudes in 40k are about the same unit price. But I only need those 5 dudes to play infinity, vs 40k where I have to grab a lot more.

Never had a problem with it. Tell people about new game, get them psyched, explain that full army costs 100~150 dollars, minimal investment cost for them, everyone gets it, no one plays 40k anymore.

>where I have to grab a lot more
You don't have to, though. Not anymore than you have to have an alternate list of 12-13~ new models for ITS, at least.

Using infinity as an example, an average 300-point tournament list on its own might cost around equivalent to a starting 500-750 point 40k list (depending on the army). Throw in a few more models and/or a TAG to fill out your second list and you're looking at 1k+ 40k prices.

Infinity can be played at the 150 level, or even lower with some fan formats I've seen. But 40k's also got small-scale games, both from GW proper and widespread fan shit (HoR, Inq28). This stuff is ultimately as expensive as you want to make it for yourself. And the models themselves are, for the most part, reasonably priced.

Are you honestly going to sit there and claim that a full featured tourney list in Infinity is = to a starter 40k army?

Or that having two full and modaable armies in infinity is the same as having one useable small army in 40k?

That's not equivalent, that is saying that 40k is twice the price of infinity to play, or worse!

Fantasy Flight Games is dropping their Games Workshop board, rpg, and card game license in the new year. Different rumors as to why abound, but it happened around the time they announced a 15mm fantasy miniatures game at Gen-Con.

For a given value of "good".

Personally, I'm sick of everything they make being pared to the bone for tournaments.

Also, they have a strong tendency to drop a line if it isn't an immediate hit. The state of the original Runewars boardgame (Which flopped because its Twilight Imperium 3 with a cap of 4 players) doesn't fill me with confidence.

The base set is at the printers and they don't have any expansions in the design pipeline yet. WTF.

40k minis are generally cheaper on a per soldier scale. But only come in groups of 5 or 10.

That's just a difference in style not a con. To someone that plays 40k having 50 minis on the table isn't something i have to do its something i want to do. If the only option was infinity I'd still be buying 50 minis and trying to talk people into playing huge games. Having such a large force is a source of enjoyment not a cost.

No, if you were playing Infinity, you'd be buying 5~10, and everyone else was buying 5~10.

If you try and pay attention to X-wing or any of their cardgames, almost all online discussion is about the tournament meta, to the point that X-wings don't actually see use in the game named after them because they're a point and a half too expensive. The timing portion of the official X-wing rulebook has reached the point of MtG absurdity.
Netrunner as well has tons of cards that never see use because the player economy is so absurdly tight.

Other games of theirs also have this feeling like they were specifically designed to fit into BGG's idea of a "boardgame night" with rigid playtimes. For instance, Descent and Arkham Horror are both set up so you have to play to the objective at all times, as exploring the board will cause you to run out of turns.

>>50923307
The fact that the tanks are different scales, detail levels and materials with a difference in options and extra parts is irrelevant?
>>
>>50923572
Well, the Metal tanks have MORE detail, and I get more of them, for 1/4 the cost of a 40k tank.

Hell, a 1/32 scale tank model is cheaper then a 40k tank, which is the same scale. Not to mention the model has more detail as well.
>>
>>50923517
No thats not my argument at all. My argument is that I WANT 50 minis, and to play with them all at once.
40k isn't over priced, its just focused on a different conflict scale for gamers with different tastes.
More expensive yes, but i get more for that extra cost so it's no less reasonably priced.

If GW does do the RPGs inhouse, what is the chance of the rules actually being good?

>>50923635
40k is overpriced.

If you want tons of minis with a massive scale of conflict, there are much better options out there.

Even Epic would make more sense.

What 40k did, is take RPG scale minis and try to make a platoon game into a Battallion sized one. Which is stupid.
>>
>>50923643
Starting from scratch? Probably good, GWs recent track record with mechanics is good.
40ks problems stem from carrying on old rules bloat for nearly 20 years now and not updating points costs across the board each edition.

>>50923667
>If you want tons of minis with a massive scale of conflict, there are much better options out there.
Not in 28mm scale.
Smaller scales aren't as good because you lose out on modeling and painting detail

Fixed that for you, it's one of the major appeals of 40k and why its still widely enjoyed.

Hey guys, i actually play Infinity.

90 Euros gets you a solid 300 point force, around 14~16 models. It's a tactical squad level game. It's not about mass formation movement, but squad level tactics.

The cheapest box I could find from GW was 65 Euros for 12 Figures (Start collecting Warhammer)

But the problem to me is that, while yes, the GW box is probably about the same as the Infinity box, the Infinity box is the full army.

Now Infinity has always priced its figures a bit higher due to materials and economies of scale vis-a-vis other 28 mm games, but the total cost to play, and that means a complete army (not a starter kit) is 90+20 Euros, 90 for figures, 20 for book, 110 total.

I can own multiple armies, for less then the cost of a single 40k army.

That's why I think 40k is over priced as well. What is the cost of fielding a standard 2000 pt army in 40k?

>That's why I think 40k is over priced as well

you're not just buying armies.
that 40k army will have more minis in it than the combined. More expensive isn't the same as overpriced.
Paying more to get more is reasonable pricing.

By that logic you should invest all your money in 15 mm Napoleonics or something.

Tamiya kits in a similar scale are cheaper than GW.
>>
>>50923572
Most 40k tanks have less detail, cost more, and have less parts then your average military model in the same scale.

The fact that those 15mm tanks have more detail then a 1/54 model Rhino or other 40k tank is just another sign of GWs shit quality.

>GW couldn't write a good tabletop under any circumstances
Oh it totally could. GW and other businesses that want to make a new product with significant differences to their existing range don't just go down to the shop floor, grab a few of their staff and tell them to go make a roleplaying game or whatever, they go out and hire people with that existing skill set.

You see companies do this all the time; talented skilled workers move between companies all the time and pretty much do the same thing no matter where they're employed. I wouldn't be surprised to see GW poach the 40K RPG team from FFG over the course of a year and bring them in-house to essentially refactor the game onto a new ruleset and simply continue to work on it where they left off.
>>
>>50923721
>take RPG scale minis and try to make a platoon game into a Battallion sized one. Which is awesome

Not really, it's why the movement phase is basically just piling in. 40K has almost no support for the concept of manoeuvring and deceptive deployment owing to the huge board chunks taken up by any unit. Huge chunks of conventional strategy and tactics simply don't apply because there's no way to use terrain, deployment and deceptive pressure to force your opponents hand.

Bummer. 15mm might have been cool, if only for the minis. 25/28 just looks off when it's used for mass battle games.

FUCKING THIS!

Infinity games and other squad level games have fluidity of movement. 40k just fumbles that as a mass movement game.

Play a quick game of Ambush Alley, feel how movement can make the game stronger. Or play 6mm Microarmor and get a feel for truly mass movement strategies.

40k games (and to an extent flames of war) are what I call parking lot battles. You have tons of troops inside a squash court, rather then the strategy of flanking/moving/rushing/pressuring/feinting.

GW surprises me anytime it does something smart. This would be a surprise.

>>50923572
I can get a similar sized and better detailed (full interior of hull and turret with detailed gun and engine) historical tank with additional metal parts for less than half the price of a GW tank.

And hobby boss is not exactly the best or cheapest company out there.
GW tanks are ugly, the kits are dated (even if they are new releases, they still look like they are 15 years old) and their detail is lacking.
>>
>>50918277
3rd Edition 40k was actually pretty good.

Age of Sigmar is also quite enjoyable.
>>
>>50925154
I'd be surprised if anyone from FFG (US company) thought that going to GW (UK) was a good idea in a post-brexit world.

3.5 was good. 3 was playable.

Although fuck the VDR and doublefuck every lazy asshole who used to it plop a Gundam on the table. Triplefuck them if they weren't Taus.

>Historical Tank

Not enough detail! (Skulls) If it had more detail (skulls) it would probably cost more.

You need to learn that detail (skulls) cost money to make. Fine detail (lots of fucking skulls) will cost a lot of money.

I have a bad news for you anon.

>>50925181
True.. those fantasy elements are probably highly expensive.

But check this one:

Larger scale than 40k but roughly the price of a Land Raider. WAY better detail though.
>>
>Not buying custom 40k figures?
>>
>>50925126
I think part of the problem is that as well as the battlefield being too small the game has too few turns, you have to commit to a real movement and can't properly feint or use superior movement speed to outflank because you have to go straight for the objective.

Ideally I'd like Epic scale on big battlefields with a decent number of turns to let the fast armies actually feel fast and to allow deception in deployment with enough time to redeploy.

There's some other stuff I'd like too but they're far more contentious, like a 'sideboard' of specialist units to build a list out of before the battle to get round the lack of support for the element of surprise and more control over reserves to let you actually spring a trap, it's downright embarrassing that a 41st millennium army can have its anvil destroyed because the hammer doesn't show up.
>>
>>50925248

I wish Epic had survived. It was literally a good and fun game that deserved life but got death.
>>
>>50925272
Here is how GW does games:

Is it a good game? Yes? Stop making it.
Does it have a lot of models? No? Stop making it.
>>
>>50924046
Hell, even 28mm napoleonics are cheaper. But if we're only lookibg at cost/mini, we'd have to go as small as we can get.
>>
>>50925179
Provably anyone that has a main game from GW in current year.
>>
>>50925272
Epic is coming back under the recently reformed specialist games section (so far they've just resurected bloodbowl)
>>
>>50925448

From your mouth to the God-Emperor's ear, Anon!

E: Fuck you RECAP. What do you think is underneath that snow, if not grass?
>>
>>50925448
I wish 40k would die and Epic take its place.

I also wish BFG would come back.
>>
>>50925780
Weren't there rumors that they will bring back those games?
>>
>>50925790
I'll believe it when I see it.

If they do, they will probably shit them up somehow.
>>
>>50925908
They brought back Blood Bowl and apparently they didn't make the rules worse. (I'm not into BB at all, so i can't comment on that).
But price and minis so far are pretty good.
>>
>>50925780
>I also wish BFG would come back.
Sorry, but it can not happened.

>WHFRP 1e

You know that it was dropped decades ago? With short Hogshead reviwal counted in?

That it was developed back in '80s and folks who did it, or expanded it into second edition are not working with Gee Dubs anymore and many even hate GW furiously?

You are getting RPG the like their novels: written by fanboys promoted to disilusioned corporate faggots. Ones with near to none writting skill and no RPG game dev skills or expirience.
>>
>>50925120
No.

You actually have to pay for licenses to actuall BIG companies, that could own whole TT buissnes- all for fucking Jeep or Opel name you faggot.

It's GW that owns IP and offers model kits, that are basic shit for price of detailed hi-end stuff (when it comes to vehicles). Miniatures? Shit, Perry stuff is three to four times cheaper than their stuff that GW still owns! Frostgrave stuff is cheaper and has more options whlist being the same quality!

But the real problem is the game. It's such a fucking parking lot, no room for move or tactics.

I wouldn't mind if they made a new inhouse RPG, were it anything like Inquisitor or Necromunda and could use 28mm figs.

Though I feel it's gonna be entirely Age of Siggy based
