Forgeworld Warhammer 40,000 Open Day 2014

The very same can be said for blood angels, space wolves, thousand sons and ultramarines. They will get around to them eventually

Squats, I was in the seminar and IT WAS DEFIANTLY A JOKE

However

Plastic Sisters, they said (paraphrasing here, bear in mind I've spent nearly 8 hours driving today and got up at stupid o'clock);

With the old release schedule updating Sisters was too bigger job because they had to make a whole army that worked, however as they have a more free rolling release cycle it allows them the freedom to put out odd bits here and there.

It was heavily implied that this is something that is happening.

They also said as all the main factions have up to date core ranges now that opens the door to smaller, more specialist releases.

Anyway, pictures...

Is it just me or do Forgeworld seem allergic to the Dark Angels? No contemptor, no unique vehicles or units (AFAIK) and no rules or even whispers of a model for our Primarch (again, AFAIK). It makes me sad

Didn't the Dark Angels pretty much keep out the picture until almost the very end of the Heresy though?

If so then expect a long wait for anything since there are other chapters who got involved earlier then them, I expect DA's and White Scars to pretty much end up in the last book they publish.

I know what you mean. This has been going on for some time now but in my close to 40 years int eh hobby and almost 28 in 40K I have never seen a main line game system fall as fast and as far as 40K that was not attributable to the company going bankrupt or something.

I think this is the first time I have seen a major games fans literally driven away by the companies policies and failure to support and bring their game up to date with their competitors.

It is intensely sad as I look at some where around 20grand in 40K stuff sitting on shelves and having no interest in playing it unless someone releases a better game system to use with the models. A year and a half ago the 12 stores in our area would have all had at least one game of 40K on the their tables on any given Saturday. Now the only place you know you will see a game played is the Games Workshop store itself. In fact I have not seen a game of 40K played except there and one store with a small group still playing since last fall.

And that is in an area with a formerly HUGE 40K community. No one thing to attribute it to that I can think of. Just lots and lots of little things. Although when you look at GW's financials over the last decade their unit sells are less than half what they were in the early 2000's. That has been the case for a long time. The internet has given false impression of 40K community activity. There were so many more players int eh early 2000's than even played during 5th Ed.

Yet more anti Games Workshop vitriol spewing from the keyboard of Stucarius.

You've made a grand total of six posts on Bols.
One was a reply to a Poll about Primarchs and five have been anti GW trolling.
Three of your "contributions" were to the same thread, in which you threw around some spurious statistics.
Wolfshade challenged you to cite your references.
Two years on and I, for one, am still waiting for them.

I do have to wonder why someone who supposedly dislikes GW's game systems enough not to the play them is then commenting on threads about GW game systems.

[AnEnemy]

I think his purported $20k spent affords him the right to speak his mind.

Just like you have the right to ignore it.

Anecdotal evidence is anecdotal...or as we suspect, made up rubbish.
