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
"Games Workshop" and "competitive prices" aren't words one often sees together  ;)

Considering how much "Oldhammer" miniatures go for (or how much Ebay sellers dream that they go for at least), I hardly think any old Specialist Games miniatures are in for a price drop. Especially not with a potentially expanded fan base.

I think the idea of one-off box sets is likely given that it has been rumoured for years (i.e. planting the concept) *and* is in line with the recent collectible, limited miniatures strategy of GW. If for no other reason, it let's them test the waters at low risk. How that approach would measure up against fully supported games from competitors would be interesting to see.

That's the best thing we could hope for; fence sitters being convinced to dig out their lead and paint. =)

I'm seeing a resurgence in interest in people in my group getting back into Epic and dusting off some very old lead and buying new bits and bobs too! All good stuff.

Does anyone fancy a job?

There has been some suggestion that the fact that the job mentions Adeptus Titanicus means that this is going to be the Epic release, rather than a full re-release of a revamped version of Epic.

Very poor money and you are probably going to be sacked in 2 to 3 years as soon as your project is over, no matter how good you are - no thanks!

If I ever win the lottery I'd consider it!

Hell, it's still a dream job for me... =shrugs=

It was my dream job when I was 6 years old - to be doing the art and layouts of manuals, and it still is.

I've heard from the manager of my local GW that it will be one-off box sets to start with, to see how many sell and what interest there is

if the one-off boxes sell well, they'll expand and make more

They should sell well. 
Most of us will probably buy a couple or more boxes to use now and one to get around too.
Then you will have the investors buying now and adding a nought later.

I'm a little bit hyped by the news about the relaunch of the Specialist Games. Most of all I'm looking forward to BFG. Hopefully there will be newly designed plastic models with a lot of customizing options, like they did with all their latest minis, not just recasts of the old core box sprues. I'm curious what is included in these one-off boxes. I can't imagine they will attract a lot of customers with only a few cruisers inside. I think there should be a good variety right from the start to keep player in line. I also wonder if they manage to keep player interested in the long term by constantly adding new stuff to the games. So I hope they have I little bit more in mind than just a little "Cruiser Clash" game or so.

Modern plastic Warlords would be fabulous.  If they did that, I'd have a regular one for imperial lists, a Psi one for Grey Knights, and of course one for Chaos, preferably in the Banelord style. =-P
