what about Inquisitor?

Hmm, if they'd bring it back in some 28mm form, maybe some sort of Inquisitor/Necromunda/Mordheim hybrid? Ooooh....

Necromunda, Necromunda, Necromunda, Mordheim, Necromunda, Blood Bowl, and Necromunda. In that order.

And I guess BFG was kinda kewl, but nobody in my neck of the woods played it.

BFG.

With Mordheim and Necromunda, you can model a number of the armies using existing models (which is what we are doing with Necromunda). With BFG, it is pretty hard to get good replacements for the ships. Luckily, we have lots and lots of ships from Way Back When, but would love to get a second or third fleet going.

Necromunda, Battlefleet and Epic. I miss new model releases for all the first two mentioned and would love a rules update for epic.

BFG and Man o war i always wanted to get into but never got a chance, and i will always adore mordheim

Battlefleet Gothic, always wanted to play it, by the time i got money they stopped supporting it

Necromunda

For me, its Blood Bowl...not because the rules need updates, but because its impossible to get new players involved (we have one now that wants to get an elf team). Ebay is not the solution because team prices on Ebay are so high, they'd make a GW CEO do a double take.

I think it's evil that to state a single game I would have to pick between BFG, Necromunda, and Epic.

Not tempted by Impacts $35 16 man teams? They have a few good teams currently - Amazons, Norse (Valkyries), Wood Elves - and load more coming soon from their KS https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/674003445/17-fantasy-football-teams-new-pro-elves-and-orcs-a

You mean would like GW to support again? Don't know...I played Epic last week, and have another game lined up for next week. Got a game of 40k 2nd edition on Monday. GW's support or lack of hasn't really made the slightest difference. If they started producing Epic minis again I still couldn't afford them! The rules for all these games are available, somewhere.

Round of applause, that man.

Battlefleet Gothic. Ship to Ship combat is so cool. There's always X-Wing though.

I am trying to bring back AI via Community support. You can join the Online Campaign to play and paint Aeronautica Imperialis here:

Most of them seem to be a bit....meh. Alot of the "big guys" models are nice, and the Ogre team is cool (would consider one of those if they get released), but it seems like some of teams were rushed and don't have a uniform look (its obvious some of the teams either had different sculptors working on the same team or models were repurposed).

Black Scorpion also has some nice alternate minis, but the teams are limited.

Yes a lot of the impact stuff is from amateur sculptors. Yes, not the best quality on some teams, but others are I think as good as GW's offerings. The new elf teams should be good and I like the mouse team. Though my favourite is the crocs, if only because I like Crocs

BB has so many "not BB" options online to buy, look up Impact! miniatures Elfball range for example or here, where I bought my elf team

For me, I'd like to see: Epic, BFG, Aeronautica Imperialis. Smaller and slightly more self-contained games.


Easy E - where would one get the Aeronautica Imperialis miniatures?

Great question. In most case the usually sources would be needed.

However, the new factions in the Airspace Aircraft Compendium and the Curse of the White Wyrm supplement are all new aircraft so no "official" models exist. Therefore, you can use models from other game systems and manufacturers just fine.

For example, The Phaeton and Argus rotorcraft in the PDF list can be found in Dark Realms Pax Arcadia line. The Varingyr Mercenaries can be found in a combination of Dystopian Wars an EXodus Wars line. Troublemaker Games makes some nice 10mm aircraft in theirdefeat in detail range that would make great alternative PDF aircraft. You can find a thread on alternate aircraft here: http://z8.invisionfree.com/Airspace/index.php?showtopic=945

However, if that doesn't do it for you, you willhave to get more creative. Orks and chaos are easy to scratchbuild. It is the Tau, Eldar, and Imperials that are hard. For those I recommend the usual methods of Ebay, trade sites, and other alternatives.

You can find some Airspace Compilation here: http://z8.invisionfree.com/Airspace/index.php?showtopic=970

PM me if you have more questions.

BFG and Epic would be on the top of my list. Could never really get into Necromunda, as no one around me played it.

This thread is like self torture.....

Do you remember last year all the hype over a possible re release of inquisitor or necromunda. The runours said it was all a cert. I was pumping with anticipation, but to no effect.

It never happened, but I have got 30k, some way cool heresy era models and my one chink of light a zone mortalis board;-)

So as much as I will salivate over and be disappointed by the promise of a small scale 40k game I have truthfully abandoned hope. Remaining with the game to move in new and more costly directions of moralis and 30k. Such is life.

Only if you hold your hands out to GW and expect them to be filled with something good, really.

Necromunda


Or if possible

a single book with ALL specialist games

Epic Nectleimasitor

I'd say Necromunda or Space Hulk, people like lasers.
A $100 game in box just to get new players into the universe.

Epic (spaces marine titan legions )
Gothic
Manowar

Necromunda.

BFG. By the way, why is there no poll option in this thread? It's a poll thread without a poll.

Epic and BFG are tops for me. I still play them when I can, but I'd love to get my hands on an Epic CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT

All Specialist Games add to the richness of their respective universes. They were abandoned with so much untapped potential. Though it is entertaining to hear that Forgeworld keep getting asked if they'd consider doing 30K Battlefleet Gothic!

Mordheim and necromunda, and Man O War. Missed the boat on Man O War, and think it could be an excellent game with new rules. Mordheim and necromunda are classics.

All this talk of BFG, then show your dedication:
