specialist games announced early last year that games like blood bowl, necromunda, mordheim, epic and battle fleet Gothic will be eventually remade so be patient

>>51208832
>will never

Its coming back sooner than later, they have already released Blood Bowl and Warhammer Quest and Epic is coming out this year with plans for Battlefleet Gothic coming later. Necromunda IS coming.

They're going to! They announced it along with mordheim, bfg, adeptus titanicus and blood bowl

Adeptus Titanicus? Yes it is coming sometime this year with the possibility of the game branching into tanks and infantry if the game does well, the're even having a demonstration of the rules in the HH open day in February.

I consider Adeptus Titanicus something separate. They said recently they have no interest in doing HH/40k Epic at the moment and at most might do a tank game for Tallarn and a flyer game.

The Rogue Trader Custodes sounded absolutely badass. Wish there was more art of them.

>>51212463
AT is supposed to be 10 or 12mm or something though right?

>>51213670

8mm, a slightly larger scale than the 6mm Epic was.

The new miniatures are 3D modelled, so while there's some technical stuff to work out, the short of it is that the models can be scaled down to fit a new scale.

It definitely is something separate, and I believe the rumour mill has been pointing towards reusing or updating the original Adeptus Titanicus rules set, rather than anything like the (massively superior) EPIC: Armageddon set. Since it's likely to be only titans and knights.

And they could keep up a steady release of new titans and knights for a surprisingly long time if they branch out to things like the Eldar and Ork equivalents as expansions.

Damn shame too, I'd love for EPIC to make a full comeback. It's really hard to get players into a 'dead game', despite said game still having a lot more players and miniatures support than a whole bunch of 'live' games still.

I think the best attitude to take towards any current GW specialist games is, much like many things, to be sceptical.

Some things may well turn out good. Blood Bowl for instance is just Blood Bowl again. But Space Hulk had that weird limited release and Warhammer Quest was actually Age of Sigmar Quest with a crap rules system. Things might be fucked up like Battlefleet Gothic could easily be Horus Heresy based so there's only one set of ships to start with and have the rules system fucked up with loads of really unbalanced special rules thrown in to try and differentiate the ships more.

£15 for a squad of 20...

>>51208803
Anyone know where to get Fanatic magazine scans? I've checked all the Warhammer generals and they don't seem to be there.

>>51217157
But you only needed 5 for a squad, so it was only £15 for 4 squads or 2 full-strength squads.

I'm sad now

>>51217157
>>51219069
Is there anywhere nowadays you can get miniatures for comparative (adjusted for inflation) prices?

>>51213286

I am going to convert one to use as my arch-militant in Inquismunda. Because they sound badass and metal.

>>51215412

I feel like if they had just released Space Hulk as a normal boardgame instead of limiting its release with normal models (that had less detail, like I mean the same models from the orig SH), made it cheaper and less of a collector's item, maybe it would've sold more?

>>51215305
Same. I'd like to try out EPIC.

I'd like to try out Inquisitor or Inquisimunda more though. Hoping that Martyr gets GW to rezz Inquisitor as a supported specialist system. Hopefully with 28mm models.

>>51212792
I'd like to point out that according to them they picked 8mm precisely because they couldn't get infantry marks to be distinguishable at anything smaller.

Does this REALLY require a general?

Is this a general or is this just a collected bunch of topics that are associated, destined to drop off the board after a day or so? Does the OP declaring it a general make it any different or even matter?

>>51220838

Same

>>51214100
Then again, Titans were always all over the shop scale wise.

>>51219112
Yeah. They'd cost roughly £1.50 a pop today.

any of you play any of these games on tabletop sim?

>>51221357
I do a little.

>>51220838
Yes. No.

>>51219813
problem with inquisitor was the scale, and the terrain needed. 28mm would be PERFECT today with all the terrain GW puts out.

However, I don't think we'll get it, Dark Heresy was basically the next evolution of Inquisitor

That must have been expensive back in those days.

>>51228625
GW will bring back anything that can sell well. If there is interest in Mordheim, than there will be Mordheim.

While the card terrain is underwhelming, and the rules will be simple, I bet the Deldar game will be fun.

Man'o'War... yeah after Dreadfleet it's gonna be a long time before GW tries fantasy naval warfare again. And it's almost certainly gonna be Age of Sigmar based if it is attempted again.

Though there is the PC game of Man'o'War that's nearly done, but it's a pirating game rather than fleet battles. Probably because that actually sells. Apparently not shit, will care more when it's done.

Mordheim is gonna be dead as long as AoS exists.
Or if it's brought back it'll be like one of those 40k spinoffs that are basically there to provide a bundle of models for 40k with a slapdash game thrown in.

Overall though thank ever-living fuck the living rulebook thing happened when it did. GW's lazy ditching of the games in print form to an updating community-maintained version was in retrospect the greatest thing they could have done, especially since just dump and forget forever was the main other option.

>Gorkamorka also dead, for "fuck orks and everybody playing them" is now GW policy

>>51228874
No. Their main point is to pump players into their mainline games. AoS exists, so Mordheim is dead.

Lately they also try to sell models no one buys by adding bad boardgames that would be WD articles in 2001.

I don't expect to see Gorkamorka (no matter how much i wish).

If what you are saying is true then why did GW bring back Blood Bowl? Blood Bowl (no matter how AoS-like the new dorfs are) is not in the same universe as AoS. Also Blood Bowl was really popular even before release. If enough people are interested in Mordheim then it would get re-released.

>>51208803
what is the point of having an ex brother model in your arsenal?

>>51229757
Objectives most likely.

>>51226411
yeah it was never a particularly cheap hobby

that's about £2 now, a little under, maybe £1.75 if they were closer to 1990 than 1987

i recall the early 2E characters going for something stupid like £4 each, which is something like £8 now, but my memory is hazy

i do remember the Terminators box set and Land Raider both retailed at £20 about then, though, which - you've guessed it - is more like £40 today; LR is more expensive but vastly more detailed (and probably more robust - those old lascannon sponsons weren't worth sticking together unless you rebuilt them with metal rods) and Termies are too, but again, greater freedom of weapon options, more bitz left over making the value of the kit slightly higher, much more so if you're a serious hobbyist; but compare that to buying your RT/2E models singly (or in blisters of 2 or 3) and the price average probably stacks around the same for a larger force

and to be honest in the early years they probably undervalued what customers were prepared to pay just because there was a fear of the company going under

>>51229823
>>51229757
oh god you really don't know do you

medics used to be able - in one iteration of the rules - to bring back wounded models

>>51231340

Neat. So you could mark downed models and have the medic bring them back up?

Not to shill Infinity, but that's how Doctors work in Infinity; models can be Incapacitated and Doctors either bring them back on a successful roll, or fail their roll and the model is lost. Engineers can do much the same but with robots and mechs.

If your team has no Engineers or Doctors/Paramedics, then you just remove casualties as normal since you have no way of bringing them back and you don't want to clutter the table in useless models/markers.

>never particulary cheap hobby

You mean scale and company. Daily reminder that they created a new 28 mm scale, so you wouldn't be able to replace easily with other manufacturers' 25 mm cheaper stock.

Also it's like charging for modern mass produced watch more than for crude, XVIII century handmade one, because it has more options. They are not hand-casting them in pewter personally, but aquired immensly cheaper method.

Does anyone know how tall the Epic: Armageddon Titans were? I got some Lucius Pattern Warhounds recently and I have a sinking feeling that they won't mesh with my Vanguard proxy Warhound.

Tomorrow is my first game with my Sisters of Sigmar. Three proxies due to postal delay and everything unpainted. Club terrain. Yes, I know I suck. Wish me luck, those poor Sigmarite sobs deserve something from life even more than their bolter cousins.
