It has got to be Warhammer Quest - right?

Kirasu wrote:Business relationships are far more complex than that. Again FF and GW have a very obvious relationship that is designed to BENEFIT both companies. If GW did redo Heroquest or warhammer quest they would probably ask FF to do a lot of the work as they have for a ton of stuff. What would the purpose be in such a product when they have descent? Thats my point

Why would FFG work on anything WHQ related? They didn't do anything on the SH release AFAIK, and WHQ is pretty much the same thing. A small rules brush up, new miniatures, card tiles and off you go. All done "in house". Having publishing deals with FFG will not stop GW from releasing just about anything, including Descent lookalikes, if it could potentially bring profit.

I hope so, I pray to every little scaled head of the Hydra it will be so, I really do.


Although as odd as it sounds, as in really unlikely as it seems to go against the fact Heroquest was a MB collaberation. A redone Heroquest, with current GW standard mini's and furniture could be pretty awesome.

Of course Quest even with just the four starter heroes does make more sense. As like someone mentioned, it would open up potential purchases. I for one, would probably be dipping back into the Warhammer fantasy range for monsters and evil races to put up against the heroes if it was Warhammer Quest.

Heresy!!!! Burn the unbeliever! Everyone knows that GW special releases are limited editions that will never make more money than the initial pre-order and release! Why do we need or want Space Hulk expansions, let alone ANY specialist game? Making sense is for the traitor and xenos... burn the witch! Burn!

Sadly although I'd love to see expansions for it, I know it would be just the main box.
Additional purchases I am referring to, would of course be monsters, Goblin heroes and the like, going on the basis they'd redo the bestiary.

Alpharius wrote:It has got to be Warhammer Quest - right?

It doesn't have to be but right now it's the most likely candidate we can think of. Hell, it could very well be BotSR for all we know (Oh, God, I hope not). Then again it's just as possible they'll come out with some new for LoTR given that PJ is making two new movies.

OMG! I just realized... GorkaMorka technically isn't a Specialist Game title, at least it isn't on GW's website. What are the odds? o.O

I have it on good* authority that it's a re-release of 'Railway Rivals.'

*read: no authority other than a bemused mocking of the European fixation on railroad games.



EDIT: On reading the wikipedia article for the game, it actually sounds like it might be fun.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railway_Rivals

I would love Warhammer Quest + expansions as well, but that's just wishful thinking. Buying the OOP character packs is out of the question. $60 for a Witch Hunter? No thanks...

I know what you mean. I got lucky and managed to get all of them... except the Brettonian Knight. It's the one thing I don't have, and it's annoying.

Oh well, reknown points are overated anyway : )

I've started to gear my purchases more towards the Monster Tables than acquiring the characters. But that's really because I can't find any deals, haha.

Another thing to point out is, GW will have revamped whatever game it might be. That means comparing it to the most recent version might not be an accurate basis. For example, someone posed the Mordheim hypothetical, on the previous page... that and Warhammer Quest and Heroquest could simply see changes to make them more producible.

WHQ would mesh nicely with the new "Storm of Magic" releases (if it comes with the monster list from the old rules, alot of folks will be buying up those ugly new monsters...)

Per Warseer...Warhammer Navy?

You know, I was under the impression that Ghost had simply used that "mis-quoted" phrase by coincidence but after re-reading the thread, it looks like I was mistaken.

Still, Harry put a very resounding no on DakkaDakka to Man-O-War being the special release:

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum...5.page#2864189

It's not Man O War.

But it is not a million miles away.

I didn't know it at the time but I was on to this back in early 2007.
I talked about this in the rumours article for The Watchman 2
But I hadn't interpreted what I had heard quite right.

Warhammer Quest would make sense given the storms of magic monsters people could buy to supplement it. But since when did GW make sense.

Didn't I mention a few pages back that I'd heard talk of a something BFG related...

Per Harry and Ghost 21 it is not Quest.

BFG....<allEars>

H.B.M.C. wrote:Didn't I mention a few pages back that I'd heard talk of a something BFG related...

Did you mention it would be fantasy related . Ghost 21 actually hinted early on at a naval theme fantasy release when he threw out the oft mis-quoted phrase "I see no ships" (relating to a famous naval officer who ignored a signal to call of an attack when he placed a scope to his "blind" eye) and followed it up with stating it would be Fantasy related and not a board game. He also didn't seam convinced that it would be a "specialist game". Right now, based on Harry's and Ghost's limmited intel, I am guessing it is more likely to be an expansion.

Fantasy

But not Man'O War...which was a very cool game too.

WHFB Planetstrike then...(Seastrike?)

Two major Warhammer expansions within two months of each other? Methinks not.

EDIT - Maybe September is now the big box release, not a special release as such.

2008 - Assault on Black Reach
2009 - Space Hulk
2010 - Island of Blood
2011 - ???

Well WD has the model for a Dark Eldar Jetfighter.
Why would they make a Jetfight without something to go against it.
I think it will be the Flyer expansion

So..

- Fantasy
- Not Quest
- Not Man-O-War
- Not a million miles from Man-O-War

Assuming it's something we've seen before.. that would fit Warmaster quite well.

I was wondering when the Summer of Flyers would turn into the Autumn of Flyers!

This is the 2007 article he is referencing: http://www.thrasherkitch.com/Watchman/Watchman2.pdf

and specifically this bit of rumor:

Watchmen 2 wrote:Man-O-War
I think we can also expect a future re-release of Man-O-War (one of the best games ever produced by Games Workshop!). However, they would surely not miss the opportunity to make it fully integrated with Warmaster and the new Mighty Empires (although I would not be surprised if we see it first for Warmaster Ancients if Rick Priestly has anything to do with it).

Since you still can order all BB stuff (still playing it every now and then with my brothers) I would be more than happy if it was WQ. I still have the old box from the 90ies and wouldn't mind re-painting my Elf Ranger

Gah!


The only news I'm interested in at the moment is upcoming Tyranid news.

This simply pushes back possibilities of new Tyranid models even further.

GRR!

Er, OK?

I don't think that anything hinted at concerns Tyranids, aside from maybe the "(Pick Your Season) of Flyers", but even that seems sketchy now...

Well it may be nothing .... but Jervis wrote the first edition of BloodBowl in 1986 ....

Do the maths.

Reminder: Space Hulk was the 25th anniversary edition
(Warhammer Quest missed its 15th anniversary last year)

how do you know that there will be a secret-box???
its just a rumor!!!
why start a threat if you have no fakts or rumors?

after the SOM releas just now
i don´t think there will be a spezial extra releas this year
its not wise from a marketting perspectiv
