Specialist Games return?

[Stormwind]

Fan sculpt titan equivalents like those from Defeat in Detail were about that size. You compare a DiD Leviathan to even the last E:A Warlord Titan and you'll see it's significantly larger.

I look forward to more Man-o-War to Dreadfleet style butchering of the classics!

That scale difference is crazy. My opponent's fan sculpt Warhounds are bigger than my Forgeworld Reavers. Great models though.

I won't be too surprised if they do a 'Battle of Five Armies' re-release. That'd be good, even if the models don't all suit the other Warmaster ranges.

In the past I've argued that that sticking to 6mm but scaling up the vehicles/titans to match the fanware could work in GW's/Our favour for recruiting people to the game with gorgeous plastic kits.  Just look at people using the Knights / Dreadknights to kitbash Imperator titans for Epic:Armageddon.

The detail that GW can cram into tight sprues now is nuts - Centrepiece models like titans will convince people to part with their money, just as it did back in Space Marine days.  Then people will want the army to match it.  Every battle report had a nice big great gargant or Phantom titans and Warlords as the centrepiece, then the hordes of infantry and tanks to go with it.

If the ruleset was solid and the game (being officially supported by GW) drew in lots of players I would prolly invest

From what I've read, it's going to be Forgeworld providing the support, not GW.  A number of people seem to think that this is very good thing, but I am not so sure.  I am keeping an open mind as best I can though.

Well, looking at their Horus Heresy models and books, the quality has been rather good. If they can do it at that level it'll be pure awesomeness!

Given the situation I'm afraid this is kind of contradiction...

Most of the good SG rulesets are so great because GW had lost interest in them before it got chance to spoil it...

Many times GW declared the fact that it is no longer game and hobby company, but miniature company.

[Aquahog]

What an aptly named company they are then...

[Aldhick]

Maybe that's why GW stores are no longer named GW stores :-D

[Stormwind]

The reasoning for that was that nowadays "Games" shop in the UK really means computer games. Loads of clueless parents / grandparents would go in expecting X Box games!

[Aquahog]

I hate to point it out but they're hardly selling weapons either. (Besides, still labelled GW in Sweden).

[Irisado]

Let's get back to discussing the rumoured releases please.  The merits or otherwise of GW's store names can be discussed elsewhere .

[cjbennett22]

if they re-release old games with new models what will that do to the ebay prices of the old models?  Go up?

GW can do some research first and think; if pandraken makes these models for 8 bucks we should make sure we can feasibly sell them for 7 bucks.  And then sell them for 9 or 10.

I hope they stay competitive in prices is all im hoping.  more expensive is justifiable for more detail and quality so here is hoping for specialist games to come back and not just GW admitting a huge mistake and just bringing back warhammer fantasy  LOL

[Seahawk]

Frankly, better support is better than no support at all. Viva la SG!
