Is the backlog that they're having going to have an effect on product development and release schedule?

I remember they had a purple patch about a half year ago when they seemed to release stuff every month and sometimes had multiple news letters going out in a single month informing us of new stuff. They seem to have slowed up a fair bit recently. Should they bite the bullet and get a couple more employees, or just carry on trying to run a successful thriving business with a 3 person staff?

My guess is that it has to do with a stagnant line.

Look at what those releases were.

Everything was DKoK or Renegade related, just about.
Now that all of those things are out, they need to reinvigorate their line. There are no models left to put out for those armies. It's not like Aeronautica Imperialis really picked up many supporters.

Once the next Imperial Armor comes out, we'll see a surge of models to go along with its' contents. In the mean time, we have to just play the "sit and watch" game, as they trickle new stuff out to us.

I don't see what it matters, though, as their stupidly high prices and INCREDIBLY debilitating shipping costs make their largest "growth market" get stomach cramps just thinking about it.

3 people?? Come on. There are at least 4 jobs at FW.

Sales.
Sculpting.
Production.
Mismanagment.

I think all the sweet new titan stuff is taking up their time. (fingers crossed)

I'm hoping that they'll have some new ork goodness to go along with the new codex in early 08.
