While Supplies Last; Specislist Games

[pgarfunkle]

I've been umming and ahhhing for ages about buying a marine strike cruiser or battle barge just to paint up in blood angel colours to keep on the desk for a bit of fun. Looks like I will actually have to make a decision now

I had the same idea, though I'd get one for my Imperial Fists. Would have to be the Strike Cruiser though as the Battle Barge is already listed as No Longer Available. Very tempted to grab the Inquisitor game's Deathwatch Space Marine model for the same reason.

On the US Site, the Battlebarge is still buyable, I just placed an order for one.

::sigh:: maybe it's time to think about Firestorm Armada. I've heard good things about that game.

I'd recommend trying Firestorm Armada out.

Like BFG, the rules and army lists are also available online. The ship sizes are also about equivalent to BFG, so it's possible to just proxy what you have now to play it - as all LoF and measurements are taken from flight pegs anyways.

Otherwise, an FA starter pack (battleship, 3 cruisers, 6 frigates) costs about $50 and 3-4 more blisters will getting you to standard 1000pt game size at a little over $100.

not a surprise really, I suspect most people by now have the specialist games stuff they want with them not being supported. though bloodbowl still draws in new players round here

Yep. While sad* people will make far too big an issue out of this, the simple fact was SGs were never a huge seller as due to their scale you could buy everything you wanted reasonably rapidly and then not have to buy any more. I'm surprised they left them this long, I'd like to hope that their customer service is being coy and mean that only the metal miniatures will be gone for good but I doubt it.

*Very, very sad.

Maybe its just me but....for once aussie aren't getting it as rough. We do not have the "while stocks last" appendage on our specialist games stock...

I think I'll grab terminus est and a Battle barge while their available...

[White Tiger88]

Wait does this mean the Eldar BFG fleet i have in a bag some where will go up in value?

[Cap'nSmurfs]

Sad times. BFG was the first boxed game I ever bought. Still love it.

But that's the way of the world, and these things haven't had full support for almost (over?) ten years now. It's a testament to the communities that they've kept going so long.

And, honestly, for things like Necromunda, Inquisitor and so on... the rules are available for free, and kitbashing from existing miniature ranges is totally viable, so they'll be fine.

[Psychosplodge]

Aren't the older black and yellow bordered necromunda ruleset better though?

[Mr Mystery]

Just had a squizz....think I'm missing something. Not seeing any 'while stocks last' bits on Necromunda or BFG?

Where is it saying it?
