the AoS community in little over a year has now grown larger than the WHFB community ever was, and shows no sign of slowing down.

(1) The WHFB reddit community didn't START until just after WHFB 8th edition was released, which was just after WHFB started its death throes. People aren't going to subscribe to a reddit feed of a game they already stopped playing
(2)
Saying AoS is doing better than a game that was dying doesn't really say much. Tracking WHFB popularity through the 80's, 90's and 00's would be much more interesting.

I think it'll be interesting to see if the next financial report is up or neutral growth (I don't really expect it to be down). To me the popularity of AoS is meaningless if it's simply coming at the cost of 40k.

1) thats not the point at all. if AOE would be a failed game.. then why is this group increasing in size? and that with a unbroken trend?
oh and a growing game is ALWAYS better than a dying one. no matter what the circumstances.
2) You cant play with the past. Sure some nostalgic thoughts are always fine but i personally prefer to play with humans in the present instead of some sweet memories.

3) Why? there have always been people tha eighter play only 40k or Fantasy.

Funny. Bigger models have more mass than small ones. and bgi models also have a lot of thin parts. As small and big models are made of the same material i dont see why bigger ones should be in a better situation as small ones

perhaps this should mean FanBoy bs ? its just a guess
