Specialist Games return?

[cjbennett22]

I have to admit, it got me interested enough to check it out from the original game's battle reports on youtube and has made me want to play a bit.  With the new one coming out, maybe, just maybe, my wallet will let me check it out.

[Stormwind]

You know, I love most of GW's plastics.  I especially love a lot of the Old World warhammer fantasy plastics, and the opportunity to chop up some High Elves or Dark Elves to make a team is something I look forward to. =)

With titanicus and blood bowl confirmed, has there been any official mention of warmasters return?

[Aquahog]

No, I'm afraid not.

[adamwest]

That's a shame, I thought as they are turning age of sigmar into a skirmish like game they may have gone 10mm for the massed battles. I'll keep my fingers crossed they see the light (my bank balance will keep its fingers crossed they don't!)

If they make Warmaster into an AoS game I have no interest.

If they make Warmaster into an AoS game I have no interest.

You won't take Warmaster rules and new models?

[Aldhick]

rumors about Titanicus say it's gonna be 8mm - for obvious reasons. There are too many alternative options in 6mm scale and GW doesn't want to have any competition. The same fits for model size shift in AoS (and renaming races from generic names to those silly ones goes along this copyright line as well). So even if there are plans to "Warmaster-like" game to come (which is extremely unlikely imo), it would be definitely different scale and different "uncopyable" funny races.  So even in that case, not interested a bit...

[Geep]

I don't think 8mm Titanicus would matter- the fan sculpts of the various titans are much, much bigger than anything GW ever released anyway (including the Forgeworld line of Epic Titans). GW would simply be shooting themselves in the foot regarding infantry and vehicles- money here will come mostly from us old-timers. Still, size isn't a big deal in Epic for the most part, so I can see 8mm being used alongside 6mm.

It'll be similar for a Warmaster re-release. If they don't go 10mm it'll just cost them money, and those who buy it will probably run it alongside 6mm stuff anyway.

If they make Warmaster into an AoS game I have no interest.

Agreed. I don't really care what they do to the rules, as we have good rules we can use with any suitable models now. If they make the models 'AoS' styled though, or based on AoS factions, then I wouldn't touch it.

the manager of my local GW has been hinting at a resurrection of a few games, pretty much straight out said BFG is coming back

[MaWo79]

I’m also not interested in anything AoS related. My interest in Warhammer died together with the old world. I will come back anytime they rerelease Warhammer Fantasy. But I don’t think that will ever happen.

As for the scale changes, I think that GW once again made a stupid decision. Choosing a common scale has a lot more advantages than disadvantages (i.m.o.). You may exclude rival game systems and miniatures but you also make your system less attractive for those who play a rival system and could have been interested in your miniatures. The only way to tie customer to your products is quality and individuality not a stupid scale.

Well, I thought that was already officially confirmed, including BFG?

[Darkson]

Yep, BFG was officially confirmed, as was Necromunda (no times scales given though). Only Mordheim seems not to be on the official list. 
Even GorkaMorka got a mention as a "maybe".

[adamwest]

I wouldn't mind if they brought warmaster back in the aos realm. Although I think magister militium May have stole a start on gw with the stormcasts!

[David Wasilewski]

The fan sculpted Epic stuff would probably work for the infantry as these do look much bigger than the old GW 6mm plastic ranges. I'm less sure about vehicles though Geep - do you think they will sit alongside an 8mm scale vehicle?

Ditto the titans. The old GW warlord titan is roughly 4" tall. The new warlord titans are rumoured to be around 6" tall - significantly larger!

I will probably buy the new adeptus titans game as, as long as all the titans are the same relative scale, they'll still fit next to the tiny infantry and tanks - it'll actually look more 'true scale' IMHO. 

I'm les convinced about buying 8mm vehicles though. I have a SERIOUS investment in 6mm Epic figures - both original GW and the newer fan made stuff and will not be 'starting again' just because new Epic is in 8mm.

this titanicus game sounds interesting and I might have a look into it when it shows up, I always wanted to try epic too
