As the title/ poll says.

Which is the best selling of their specialist games that people buy the GW models for.

So for the purposes of my poll don't vote Bloodbowl for example if most of the people you know who play it use models from another company.

Thanks

Far and away BFG. These models are still supported by Forgeworld.

Though Blood bowl is going to be rereleased soon.

Blood Bowl, easily. In fact, BB is probably something like 5th or 6th best selling miniature game worldwide. In my neighbourhood, BB is actually probably more popular than any other game save 40k. So of course it makes sense to kill it off. BFG is probably second most popular from SG range.

Blood bowl, necromunda, Mordhiem, and BFG.


That would be my guess of most to least leaving out epic armegedon, warmaster and Inquisitor.(=I= being dead last)

I was surprised to actually see Blood Bowl sold as a boxed game on the GW website.

The worst selling is Epic. The newer metal figures are hella expensive for what you get and there is a literal TON of cheaper plastic trash out there on eBay that you can pick and choose from.

Best selling? Blood Bowl, for sure. My favorite? Battlefleet Gothic.

I think the key there is that people buy the GW models for...and the only two which I have seen that still consistant with is BFG and Epic. The main reason is that although there are a lot of companies who produce spaceships and micro armor...most do not using the same aestetic as you find in those two games.

Blood Bowl, Necromunda and Mordheim tend to be more popular than those two games...but there are so many models available from third party manufacturers (especially for Blood Bowl and Mordheim) that the specific figures from GW are less often used by comparison.

Blood Bowl as it is still a quite popular game, both becuase it is a good rule set and because it is essentially a boardgame. BFG and Epic suffer from requiring quite large armies/fleets and a small playerbase while Mordheim and Necromunda warbands/gangs can easily be made from other figures (GW or otherwise).
