There already is a awsome buildable card game done by Fantasy Flight Games called Warhammer Invasion!! No need for a collectiable card game.

C'mon guys!







Chainsaw Warrior! You all know it is due for a remake...

Ready handfuls of sodium chloride...

...I was in a GW today (not my local one, so if the evil GW management are reading this, don't go giving the Southampton store a hard time ) and the blueshirt mentioned that a GW bigwig had been at their store and said something about a Warhammer related boxed set. At this point I asked "Expansion or boxed set?" and he replied "Yeah, box set, maybe like Space Hulk."

Regrettably that is all.

I have to go with warhammer quest now!

Secondary starter box, featuring Orcs and Empire.

Warhammer Quest sounds nice, it would go nicely on the shelf with Space Hulk and Dust Tactics.

Warhammer Quest was fantastic back in the day, and I know it got a whole bunch of O&G armies started amongst my then gaming group (Burford, Oxon represent!)

GW have maintained that it's simply not feasible to release again, as the sheer amount of content that would be needed in the main box would become too expensive to produce and sell at a reasonable price (and that's the GW definition of 'reasonable price,' so who knows how bad it'd be in the real world)

I guess handing it off to FFG a la Space hulk or Horus Heresy might mitigate against that.

Personally, I hope the cryptic announcement is the return of Sumer Campaigns, just because I loved those.

FFG already offers a good and established Warhammer Quest clone called "Descent". Major money maker for FFG, no reason to release something almost identical under GW licence.

It would be interesting to release another version of the starter box to spread choices around. However, I would like campaign packs, those were fun back in the day, and with one order and one destruction army I can choose my side now.

Of course there's Advanced Heroquest and Talisman too..

I dunno man. I played Descent, and whilst it is indeed Dungeony, it's simply nowhere near the 'WAHA!' factor of Quest.

Also, horrible rubbery plastic. Not my bag.

If Mantic beat them to the punch on a quest style game, I will laugh my ass off.

I dont know what box set of descent you're talking about but mine are all hard and durable plastic plus the sculpts are awsome. As for it not having the aww factor of Quest I think it does and then some imho.

I don't want FFG to re-do Warhammer Quest. I want GW to re-do Warhammer Quest ala the Space Hulk re-release. With the current plastics technology it would be awesome.

It all comes down to whether GW would be willing to pay for printing that much cardstock and that many cards (event, dungeon, treasure, magic, etc.).

Will it be giant toadstool men?
They would make a wonderful platform for seige warfare.
If it isn't I bagsey the idea and claim all Intellectual Property rights and copyright and all that gubbins.

I will also make my own Giant Toadstool Men, but may need some help with the stats please.

Good grief I really want Giant Toadstool Men now!

Given GW's superior marketing and distribution efforts, they will at best sell 1% of the quantities that Descent sells (and sell it for only one week). Descent is a bestseller for 5 years now, with 5 expansions, 15 metal miniatures and 2 accessories.

Maybe it's a Warhammer Fantasy movie made by Codex Pictures

Chaos Warrior?

NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Erm....why? Mantic as a company just don't have the market penetration that GW have? Indeed, whilst their price is good, the quality is simply not a match for GW's. No reason at this stage to believe it would be any different with their own game.

Maybe they get the distribution with the new introductory game for 26$ coming out in March
And with a GW 3000 point standard size army costing like 1000-2000$, people might switch to the 200$ solution.

I know I have and I wasn't even going to consider returning to fantasy until I saw the Mantic deals.

I'll laugh because GW have had literally years (decades?) to make a move on their WHQ franchise, and a new start up looks like it might get there first. I know mantic aren't original, but at least they see a demand and go for it.

I'll find the situation funny, and not because I am pro one company or another. I like both.

Some incoherent Warseer rumours about upcoming Fantasy releases:

Harry wrote:I know that a over year ago I knew for sure that Orcs and Goblins were the first fantasy release for 2011 and that by GD I knew that TK were the next and coming in the next 12 months .... (That is before Gamesday this year) but I confess I wasn't expecting them quite this soon. Right now I have no idea what is the next fantasy army after that. Their is so much stuff in the works for so many different armies that is difficult to make an accurate prediction about what is coming next and if it is just going to be a wave of models or the full miggins with a new book.

What we can expect though, and I think I share that opinion with Harry, is a lot of exciting stuff in the coming months. I do need to get my wizards painted, and I'm pretty sure I'll be tempted be both monsters and heroes at the same time.
Oh, and I paint some Nids too.

Elrond wrote:I guess I got a clue from a italian gw manager. It lets me think that the next AB after Khemri will be Bretonnia, released in july/august/september I guess.

Deathbysoup wrote:A little birdy told me its Bretonnia.

:sigh:

I play dwarves and VC. A monster release helps me not at all. Especially if they are merely models for Transformation of Kadon. Big effing yawn.

I want Warhammer Quest. The Descent tiles look far to busy. Mantic's King's Hold has some interesting mechanics. But I want a Space Hulk style re-release of Warhammer Quest please.

More rumours on this topic:

Captain Ventris wrote:On Topic however, I was told by a source that the forthcoming Warhammer Expansion won't be released till Next year, summer 2012 and would be something along the Lines of Warhammer Fortifications and will include a brand new plastic Castle set
I'm still waiting to see it pan out though, this particular source is as of yet untested (...)
its what I was told by a source within GW and I'm simply passing it along, its not like I said "This is what is happening, you are all wrong", I clearly stated it was what I was TOLD, and was not necessarily FACT

bluemage pointed out that this might conflict with rumours on a possible 6th edition 40k next year.

Ahh. Another push back to the now 5 year old rumor about the "Summer of Fantasy!" All very convenient.

6th ed 40k would fill me with a great and terrible rage, given that there are still 3rd and 4th ed books out there. Not to mention the fact that 5th ed seems to be pretty balanced over all. :sigh:

If 6th ed came out in 2012 that would only be 4 years between editions.. sorta soon Id think. Then again 5th ed was only 4 years after 4th ed, so who knows!

I like 5th ed except for wound allocation, true line of sight and mech spam (But vehicles are huge money makers for GW.. sooo)
