Really? Obviously, they failed miserably in their last attempt at a miniatures war game, but they have changed and learned a lot since then. 4th edition D&D was a huge upgrade over 3 and 3.5 and Magic pretty clearly the best hobby-type game on Earth.
Most importantly, WotC are super open and communicative with their fans. Want to know why Magic designers made a particular card? What the D&D guys are doing with the newest setting? Want your game's competitive, casual and everything in-between communities to get more than a head-nod, so they feel important and empowered? How about just having a guy who knows the rules and can actually answer questions about them?
I am being 100% serious when I say that, although I strongly doubt Hasbro would allow WotC to dip into the minis market again (since Dreamblade nearly bankrupt them),
GW being acquired by WotC would be the best thing that could happen to
WHFB,
WH40K and the Hobbit or whatever it's called now.
yeah but wotc is just as money hungry. like space marines? to bad they randomize them in a pack, have to buy 50 packs just to get the
tac squad you need. what they didn't give you interchangable weapons? better buy another 50 to get that rare melta gun figure. its a mystic rare now to, so if you try to buy the single it'll cost you your soul.
