Personally, I think 8th edition is the best WaFaBa's been for almost a decade. 6th was annoying at best, and 7th was better, but 8th really fixed a lot of what was wrong. (Haven't played 1st through 5th, so I can't comment on those, but if it's like anything from GW in the 80's/early 90's, it's probably very expansive, but very vague at the same time.)

Sure I still hate 'wheeling', and sort of wish it was replaced with just 'moving the entire unit block like a HUGE skirmisher'. But the game is built on this mechanic, and really utilizes it well, and to change it would change the entire game.

That being said, creating a smaller scale, skirmish type game to bring in some new people would be awesome! Just don't abandon true WaFaBa to do it.

Stop trying to make 'WaFaBa' a thing!!! Not gonna happen!!!

I starting to think that the Bretonnians are the only thing that can save WFB!

**Thachng**

space marines are coming!

Updated Peg Knight dual kit for knight + knight lord... That would be stellar. Plastic Grail/Questing dual kit. New Trebuchet + Cannon(?) dual kit. New plastic lord kit. Maybe something with regards to being big and intimidating or a "Monster in Knight Form" meaning a guy with just astronomical stats being the Lady's Champion?

Oh, and the King being 600+ pts plus and never fielded.

Lol! It was a thing long before I ever heard it. Back when I began playing 40k in the early 90's (back when everyone called it 'War40'), i used to hear it all the time in chat rooms. I always thought it was a cool way of saying it, and just never stopped.

WaFaBa?

WaThaFu?

And it's wonderful that you think 8th is so great. Sadly, WarFanBat ain't doing so well selling side of things, so GeeDuh is releasing a new one to make some quick cash.

**theHandofGork**

To be fair, HBMC, WFB is about due for another edition. 7th ed 40k is much more of a cash grab, imo.

**overtyrant**

It's not selling so well because of the bleeding start up cost!

This. Absolutely 100% THIS.

I've got roughly 2000pts of Vampire Counts which numbers over 100 models. 70 of those, if I bought them outside of army boxes, would have been in 7 expensive 10 model boxes.

Fantasy is a great game let down by GW making it more expensive to start than saving for a home loan.

The thing is, all they need to do to bring startup costs down is get rid of the percentage system and go back to 7th's unit selections that were more like a Force Organisation Chart.

The Guy is HUGE,expect him to be part of the 1st wave.

Sorry now it should work.

**TheKbob**

I'd want to play Fantasy is other people played Fantasy. And I'd love to run a VC army if I didn't have to paint 500 boring skeletons or zambeez.

Also, isn't WaFaBa a pokemon or something?

Nevermind, works for now,... WOULD BUY, 10/10. HOLY MOTHER OF SIGMAR.

Unless it's like $150...

The circle is complete!

(I'm sure this NPC was inspired by Nagash, but I refuse to post the original Nagash model on humanitarian grounds. Damn that thing was ugly)

Never heard either of those, and I've been doing this since the late 80s. 40k and WHFB or "Fantasy Battle". Might be a local thing to your area or certain chat rooms.

**Vash108**

Hopefully it will be more that a campaign supplement.

Raid boss.

**Azazelx**

So 4-6 groups of heroes.

**Grimskul**

I hope it comes with a little tiny cat called Mr. Bigglesworth...

So 4-6 groups of $30 single pose plastic minis.

Better than before but I see Nagash still gets his hats from clownsRus.com.

Are those spectres/ghosts stuck on him?

It's to make up for his small pauldrons.

Just wait for the third party knock offs...

I definitely want the quarterback.

Wait, is that thing just really close to the camera or is it fething huge? Because it looks fething huge compared to the models in the background.

**jah-joshua**

the hat's not too bad this time around...
hopefully this is a plastic kit...
leave off the ghosts, and the bones on his back, and he could look pretty sweet...

good find

...

cheers

**Azazelx**

Regardless of how stupid WHFB gets, or what happens if they go Unbound, etc, I'll probably pick up that model up. Both for Scholo's old times sake, and since my wife loves Undead for some reason...

Yeah, bring 40k and Fantasy together to a single game, just like Warmachine and Hordes.

**Vash108**

Have him lead a sphinx pack.

**H.B.M.C.**

Oh it'll be plastic. No way they'd make that out of FineCost.

And it looks pretty damned amazing.

**BobtheInquisitor**

If anyone's going to throw down with the Kingdom Death King, it's that guy. I sure hope he's affordable...

I can tell right now he's going to kick the unliving crap out of the 4 or 5 Bones not-Nagashes we'll see in stores this Christmas.
