I hear there's another company in Notingham making a grimdark fantasy battle game.

I even hear rumors they care about the quality of their games.

I need to go kick another puppy and get my salt truck.

I sees it but I still don't believe it.


Thanks for nothing, GW.

Now if they only cared about the quality of their miniatures more than the next Kickstarter loot haul.....

+1 and QFT.

Kickstart has done some great things, but it's also made companies feel like they are entitled to money without any risk or venture, or customer satisfaction.

Nice one KK. It took me an embarassingly long time to get the joke...

Too bad their miniatures look like gak sculpted by a half-blind one-armed halfwit.

Was about to post the same thing. It also wouldn't hurt if their ''original'' ideas were more interesting than reviving defunct GW concepts.

Ah well, there's always gaming in the Formless Void then!

(sneak preview!)

The female orcs feel like a red flag to me on those rumors. Let alone the name. Alot of it dose sound like interesting ideas. But it reads like a spell jammer whfb mash up then anything.

I was on board for this up until I heard its played on a round table... this sucks.

Dawikorr (dwarfs) and Inneadim (elfs) have their own realms that are connected with Regalia. The Inneadim have outposts in America.

Uhm wut?

Guess Im not too familiar with the fluff but thats a bit that screams fake doesnt it?

Renaming the incredibly derivative race names to something they can copyright sounds like something they'd do. (Though didn't the CH case rule that third party companies could use GW's names to reference their compatibility?) If the new world has a nearly identical map (despite how stupid that would be) Someone seeing Naggaroth could easily describe it as America.

And kicking dwarves and elves off of the main world makes it easy to marginalize them and focus on properties GW can make more distinct.

So that actually didn't sound totally impossible to me.

If it's true that us nerds will be frantically moving troops all at the same time, I cringe thinking about going into a store whilst AoS is being played. Smells bad enough with some just sitting there.... Yikes...

Also, manual dexterity requires are further narrowing the audience. I don't think our 300lbs friend will enjoy this one...

Score another point for Kid Kyoto.

Pushing through a rename of the dwarves seems particularly odd for another reason. Namely, dwarves are one of the four races that will be in Total War Warhammer at launch.

Is Total War set pre or post End Times?

Pre end times i'm guessing, as evidenced by the trailer. Im surprised people don't recall WH: Mark of Chaos...which was set in the Old World as well, on a smaller scale than Total War though. That wasn't a bad game at all, not great...but not awful either...they nailed the look and feel rather well.

Strangely I was just thinking of installing that today. Remember it being a bit clunky but as you said it did nail the aesthetics quite well.

I apologize if this is already posted, but EVERY 8th ed army book has just rocketed up in price. The description says that all sales of these books will be ended on June 26th.

Rulebook is 125 USD

Army books are ranging from 55 - 83 USD

The Age of Sigmar is coming...


EDIT: Nearly every single price has just shot up for fantasy

Thanks for that. I was freaking out

I periodically check this thread and it is becoming even more farcical as time goes on.

GW either needs an immediate change of management (at this stage virtually anyone could do a better job) or they need to die so that they can't do even more damage to the fluff.

I'm not calling bull, because I completely believe GW will change the force selection to allow for Unbound Fantasy armies. Of that I believe he his 100% correct.

As for whether it's a "troll", you're new here, right?

I just want to see the best in the people

Trolling us with fake rumors is a 'fine' tradition. Pretty much anyone with no history who posts is probably trolling us at this point.

I really should know better. This isn't my first rodeo. I'm still heart broken over the distinct lack of Blood Bowl re-make.

Which, to be fair, wasn't a rumour from a nobody, but a Hastings & Harry rumour until it was shot down by Blood of Kittens.

That's not strictly true JohnHwangDD: Sure, SOME of their models are a bit crappy but they have come out with some awesome stuff too. I think most of this stems from us being spoilt with GW stuff (barring finecast of course).

Welp... If that's how Fantasy is going to be I'll just keep on playing 8th. That just sound godaweful.

I'll just cross my fingers that both these descriptions ain't real.

Watch out for police while you're there, i hear there's a war on the formless void and the jail time is pretty harsh.

We should still be freaking out. Every army book on the website says "This product will be removed from sale on June 26th. The Age of Sigmar is coming!"
There goes everything.

Edit: It also says this for every End Times book. Great job invalidating all of our purchases for the past few months, GW.
