Mr Mystery wrote:Sid...were I still working for them (and hadn't missed the Space Hulk release by a month when I re-joined last time) I'd have limited it to two per customer to be honest. It's not like I wouldn't sell them all without the help of scalpers. That the scalpers scalping actually worked is proof enough of that fact.

I'm not sure a limit would help. If I wanted more I'd just send some friends to buy them for me. Others would too.

The only people screwed over by this would be the scalpers without any friends

There's a way past any system of course, and if someone puts the effort in then fair enough.

But walking in, and buying a dozen copies? That's just taking the piss.

The least illogical, anyway. Considering how much of the cost of plastic kits is overhead, anyone stupid enough to make them limited release instead of selling the damn things should be fired. Preferably out of a trebuchet.

Well I'm basing it upon the 3rd Ed Hulk business model (and I use the term 'business model' in the most generous manner possible). Anyway, I think that the reason 3rd Ed Hulk was a Ltd. Ed. release was because of the cost of printing all the cardboard components. If not for that, it might've hung around longer. The same would apply to Quest no doubt.

Though with Quest, they could arugably put the rules up online for download. You'd just have to make your own floor tiles.

No doubt the scalpers assisted Space Hulk in selling out reasonably quickly, but if you really wanted a copy, it was fairly easy to pick one up (provided you had a spare £60.00).

Reminds me, really must sell my spare copy on ebay...

I would love something, anything new for my beloved WE. Perhaps a plastic Tree man, that would be sweet but Im already useing the LOTR Ents for my Tree men.

i just found warhammer quest rules online and now i really want them to release this!

pick up a few hirst arts molds and make the quest floorboards. It's easy, you can make cool 3d stuff and have tons of fund and it's more resilient than cardboard. quest is a great game.

The "Warhammer Quest" niche is currently filled by "Descent" from Fantasy Flight Games.

You could argue that the Space Hulk niche was filled by Doom when it came out.

Actually, I recommended Doom tiles to Space Hulk fans before it was rereleased.

John's got to be banned, a Dogs of War reference and he's not in the thread within 24hrs.


Regardless, Warhammer Quest is what I would dream over, after selling my two boxes and all the heroes five years ago (no, I don't know what I was thinking either) I'd be all over a Quest re-release.

Probably would want multiple boxes as well, well two. With my Skaven army coming together, I think I might have to do underground themed bases, just in case.

Only vaguely... the character progression and between adventure sections aren't quite up to Quest's standards imo.

I'm with Morathi. For some reason I sold my copy a few years back too... now I wonder why.

I'm saying pretty much 100% this is going to be the new fortress rules. Yeah that is an old plastic kit, but that is all the more reason to update it IMO.

With such a strong rumour as that you barely have to read between the lines it pretty much says it all. New seige rules and large scale battle (a la apoc) inbound.

("If I'm allowed to wishlist I'd rather say Siege.") You're not

I interpreted this as a No.

He might just have been joking about Warseer's No Wishlisting rule.

Yeah probably joking about wishlisting on forums like dakkadakka and warseer hense the

Two more tidbits for this rumour:

Harry wrote:There isn't much to report (beyond the O&G which we did to death months ago) within the next six months.....

Elfboy wrote:We get something new and exciting this summer... a summer release that would be exciting for all the warhammer armies, and that this release was bringing back something from the past.

.... Except for this .... Which is quite exciting.

BramGaunt wrote:I heard that midsummer will feature a Warhammerexpansion with a ton of new miniatures for several different armies.

Bun Bun wrote:I've heard the same.

So they hear stuff, how exciting.

If a rumour is exciting for Harry and Hastings, it is for me. Period.

Something from the past and specifically warhammer related, but not siege...

I'm stumped

That thing from the past: General's Compendium? I can't see Warhammer Chronicles coming back, seeing as the originals were predominantly errata and Trial Rules (the former of which is now covered online, the latter either online or WD if made at all). An army doesn't seem probable to me, so that's gone too. If doing a lot of monsters this Summer, perhaps a release of some Monster supplement that has beasts multiple books can use? Sorta like the back of a few Old Edition (5th & older) books? Return things like Cockatrices and such.

is it the TROLLS games and tapes ?

Warhammer Quest WOULD get my money. Monsters would not. Well... MAYBE for my DE, since they can justify it, but it's hardly something appropriate for all armies.

Revamped Mordheim, also would get my money. In a biiiiiig way.

Warhammer Quest is the only 'thing from the past' that I think would appeal to ALL Warhammer players, but it isn't really Warhammer as such, so I'm not sure there...

Man O War would have broad appeal, but players of races with no nautical leanings (Wood Elves, Lizardmen) would be left out.

Monsters doesn't excite me in the slightest (I got the monster I wanted at the beginning of the month ) and it's only loosely 'from the past' because some of them haven't been seen for a while (Chimera, Cockatrice) as kits.

Mordheim is too limited to Old World races, so again the term 'all Warhammer players' wouldn't apply.

I did wonder Blood Bowl, but can you really see them releasing teams for all races?

Mighty Empires is A) not exciting (unless you have a large gaming group in which case, it's kind of fun) and B) already available.

Siege has been discounted.

Have I missed anything?

A scenario book not much unlike Battle Missions?

What about Dogs of War/Regiments of Renown? That would appeal to pretty much everyone (AFAIK, there was never a faction that didn't have access to SOMETHING), and would feature a ton of new models for everyone!

Anyway, I'm more excited about the possibility of new Ogres!

Bretonnians can't take Dogs of War so it isn't likely that.

I don't get why people want the Compendium back. There isn't anything in the original that can't be used currently for local play.

As far as I know it is still available if you look hard enough.

Some more tidbits:
