Are their any hints or rumors or speculations on the return of BFG? It's really the only GW game I give a poop about, and I'm getting really tired of waiting.

Despite the main minis guru at my FLGS saying that BFG will have a re-released soon, all I have heard is that Forgeworld might be working on a Horus Heresy version of BFG.

I feel you on waiting so long. I'd like to try out my Chaos fleet and be able to collect more without spending an arm and leg on eBay.

There might be a Horus Heresy situated version for BFG coming. Andy Hoare has expressed a desire to do this. There are also some rumours about it being in a totally different scale, but this hasn't been officially confirmed yet so please...take all of that stuff with a pinch of salt.

I really hope it is the same scale. I have carefully preserved my Marine Fleet through the ages.

I hope so, too. But based off of GW changing round base sizes for 40k, and the utter DISASTER that is Age of Sigmar, bring back BFG but making all old BFG models obsolete seems like a highly likely move on their part.

It's in the que.

GW has a backlog of stuff ready to release. 8th took quite a bit of their current attentions.

Necromunda, Titanicus...

You are basing this on what?

Well, we know the new Necromunda is on the way.

We also know that the new Titanicus is finished from a rules perspective, and is waiting on a slot in the order (and possibly plastic models).

They've also said that BFG is being worked on, so it's not that big a stretch.

I think it is a given the miniatures will be different scaled in a new version.
Hopefully so big I can use the old cruisers as escorts. lol

Why do you say that? Other than the obvious "GW screwing over its existing player base, forcing them to buy all new models."

Seriously, there is only one other company on the planet that cares less about its customers than GW - Microsoft.

What about Apple for that matter? Isn't this just a general problem with capitalism rather than something company specific?

Hmm, ok...I'm gonna cut it out now, don't want this to turn into a political discussion.
