Warhammer Forge - End Times causing the delay?

[Mr Mystery]

Just a bit of idle speculation really, and certainly I have bugger all to back it up beyond that....

So Warhammer Forge is apparently on the back burner, and has been for a while.

Could End Times be the cause? I mean it's a pretty major shake up of the lore, so it does make sense to hold development on spangles until the Design Studio had finished their grand plan.

Just a bit speculation like I said. Thoughts?

Didn't they announce that Warhammer Forge was going away in general due to lack of interest/sales compared to 40k ForgeWorld sales?

Well, they said it was going away because they were focusing more on HH.

[Mr.Pickelz]

HH series is pretty much taking up all of Forgeworld's resources, between all the ideas and models they are making for that timeline, Forgeworld should be called H.H. World. 40k kits aren't exactly getting made either. Most of the Space Marine stuff is interchangable with 40k stuff, so I guess they kinda get away with it for that faction, but for Xenos... Nope.

People didn't buy much of the Warhammer stuff because it was either big monsters/war machines, so they only needed one of those, or command groups, which were way too expensive for most people to stomach (£30 for three models). Put simply, what they were making wasn't selling enough to make it worthwhile continuing, whereas people apparently couldn't get enough of the HH stuff. I think that decision was probably made before the End Times was started.

yeah that may be the case, but they didn't have to discontuine the entire scenery range as well!

That IS something that is more likely to sell over a long term, as every Warhammer general needs terrain to fight over, I really wanted to get some of their village pieces.
