We'll find out soon enough eh.

I...just don't know about Mordheim. Don't get me wrong, it's the one I most want to see come back, and I'd love it if it happened, but I just don't know that it would actually "come back".

Would GW really miss an opportunity to flog more Goldenboys? And no matter how they decided to do that - either putting Mordheim in a bubble and transporting it to AoS, or doing a "spiritual successor" that's vaguely Mordheim-ish in tone and gameplay style but isn't actually Mordheim as-was - I'd really prefer they just didn't do it at all in that case.

I need to acquire plastic Skavenslaves, can you help?
I have a blog now, evidently. Featuring the Alternative Mordheim Model Megalist.

All really mean 'keep wages low for the masses, taxes low for the rich, profits high for the corporations, and accept the decline in public services and amenities this will cause'." - Robin McAlpine from Common Weal

I mean, I could ignore a new Mordheim, but it would itch at me in the same way Silver Tower does. I loved Warhammer Quest, but the new one just looks wrong to me - the tiles don't look like any kind of flooring, the style of the models is way too OTT and I don' t think they look very good, barring the Oni thing.

Mordheim was great because it was pretty much the MOST Old World Warhammer game ever. It had everything that made the Old World fun and unique turned up to 11. If I am not obsessing about small cultural differences between fictional city states in the Empire, it hasn't been done properly.

It's time to drop bloodbowl and necramunda from the poll and add man o' war already. That way the results would be more accurate. I would be interested in mordheim since I wasn't able to get it the last time around.

BFG for sure. Preferably just a rebalancing of some of the point costs for certain factions rather than a redo of the whole ruleset, the basic rules are perfectly fine as is.

Proper Old World Warhammer Quest - not the new boxed games. However, with the direction GW is going with more and more products...I'd actually rather they don't do this. Short of pushing "print" on a new copy of the old game, I've zero interest in GW's "modern" take on WHQ.

I've been thinking about Space Marine 2nd Ed alot lately. Always had a blast playing that one.

Now that there is AT & AI, epic of sorts which combined all three to form a trifecta would be killer! Finally you could have > comany level battles with titans and flyers like the lore depicts. Apoc is not the same, not even close.

Actually, why not go all the way in and add BFG of sorts into it. You could actually play out a whole planetary invasion game, starting from space, closing into orbit and all the way to the ground battles.

You could also play all these separately like now, however being able to meaningfully combine them would be the novel idea.

Although I kind of feel that 40k should be on this list with how screwed up 9th is.

Most of these games now have modern, much better equivalents by design teams with much better design philosophy and way more skill. So I don't think that -apart from the nostalgia value - having these games again, done the old-fashioned GW way (randomness, little player agency, tedious upkeep) makes a lot of sense.

BFG 100%. Great additions to the lore. Amazing models. Good rules (except for OP necrons). It's such a great sister game to 40k and it'd be awesome to see it come back and even tie into narrative games.

Yeah, Necrons were weird. They were balanced around you playing a campaign, not a one-off battle. Though even a 1 off battle you could still "win" just because their ships gave silly points for crippling or destroying them. I once had a game where I lost 6 of my 8 ships, the necrons lost 1 destroyed and 1 crippled out of 5, but I won because of the overall points. Point for point, they were OP, but they were the only fleet where a dead ship was worth far more points dead than alive, so even crippling 1 necron ship was worth several not being crippled.

You just really had to play suicidally against necrons.

Mordheim gets a lot of love, and I get it, but I think there are just really good alternatives for grim dark fantasty skirmish. Rangers of Shadowdeep is amazing for coop/solo play. Frostgrave is a bit focused on wizards, but I'd also look at Freeblades, a tiny indie game that's a lot of fun.

There's really no game with market presence to replace Epic/Epic Armageddon/Space Marine. Drop Zone commander does okay, but that focuses heavily on the air assault aspect. Just the idea of hordes of sci fi legions engaged on a big table is so satisfying, it annoys me that it's not more popular. (Warmaster has a ton of replacments, which while not always commercially popular, are well known).

BFG has no shortage of pretenders to the throne, with at least a half dozen sci fi fleet combat games being launched since it folded. None really took off, even Armada, which has the Star Wars license. BFG is also the game that arguably needs the least work. the models are still great, the rules need a tweaking, but it could drop quickly.

Personally, i'd vote Epic. It's the game I'd buy the fastest, but from an untapped market perspective, I think you have to go BFG.

Mordheim also suffers from the same problem as Necromunda. You can play with a $40 gang/crew/warband box, which is 100% true, but it's not really fun without $300 worth of terrain.

Suffolk, where the Aliens roam.

Ignoring the fact some of these are already back.

At the moment I would love to see an equivalent to the old 'Space Marine' epic release, a load of Heresy Marines with Vehicles to add troops to the Adepticus Titanicus game. That is still one of my all time fave games in the past and although I am enjoying AT immensely, its not quite the same without the troops and vehicles darting around between the Titans.

Other than that Mordheim would be great, think I don't really mind if it was AoS or the Old World, BFG would be interesting and part of me always thinks if Dark Future came back I'd get on board.

I have allways wondered what kind of game Inquisitor was, i saw the models in the specialist catalgue and they allways looked innresting.

Other then that, epic naturaly, i love 10mm or smaller, there is NOT enugh epic scale games in the mini world!

If BFG was not doing so well with community rules support and lots of 3d printer options, i would have say that one too, but it needs no remake, it is perfect right where it is.

Seeing what GW feels about fan work (updated today, even) and the results shown with Newcromunda... I kinda rather seem the games stay as they are nowadays, meaning fan driven games with a thriving, do it yourself community.

You could give the snarky answer and say "Necromunda", given what modern Necromunda has turned into.

But no, BFG. I want naval combat with 5km long flying cathedrals, multi-gigaton broadsides, swarms of torpedos and ramming speed!

If I were to 3D print I would love to make BFG... but small!

GW would never do it, indeed I reckon they couldn't resist making the rules very different.

But with the old rules and cruisers the same length as the diameter of the base model placement would be easier and the game would seem far more grand in large battles.

None.

They would all be poorly balanced and have 12 different rulebooks and piecemeal DLC addons.

BFG and Mordheim are completed games, you can just houserule anything you don't like, and you'll never have to follow the treadmill of new rules again.
