The new Orruk sets are actually decently priced (save for maybe the clampack characters who arent the Warboss) and they're offering actual deals again (in the form of combined box sets and Start Collecting! sets). The board games are also a good move since it caters to the casual boardgame scene while also giving us oldbloods something we'd like in a cheap, no-nonsense package.
Is anyone buying the boxed games for the game, or are they buying them as a discounted source of models? I've never heard of anyone playing Execution Force or Betrayal at Calth; people bought them for the minis. You can buy
BaC game components on eBay for peanuts. I've never even heard anyone mention that Scout game.
Sure, retro games sell well, because they've already got a player base (Space Hulk, Blood Bowl), but the new stuff doesn't seem to be making any impact.
As for all the good new things going on; I get the feeling it's all very reactionary, rather than a planned series of improvements.
