Games Workshop has produced quite a few games over the years. This site was originally created to support players of the various Space Marine factions in the Warhammer 40,000 game. Over the years, the scope of the site has increased to our present scope, which is the entire range of games set in the Warhammer 40,000 setting. Our site structure has evolved over the years, growing to include (sub-)forums for each of the (sub-)factions that we cover. Among the many things that the admins are looking into now (as we lean into the software upgrade and server migration - not happening as soon as we'd like, but probably happening before Codex: Squats ) is whether or not our site structure adequately supports the range of games that take place in the Warhammer 40,000 setting. Our focus in this is somewhat narrow (for now), looking at what I call the "hobby" games. These are all in the tabletop miniature wargames category, as opposed to the electronic, roleplaying, and board games. These include the following games (links go to the game pages at Board Game Geek): Battlefleet Gothic (and its predecessor, Space Fleet) Epic (as well as Epic Armageddon) Gorkamorka (it might be argued that Warhammer 40,000: Speed Freeks was a reimplementation of this game) Inquisitor Shadow War: Armageddon Games like Space Hulk, Gangs of Commorragh, and Warhammer Quest: Blackstone Fortress aren't part of this discussion because they're more limited boardgames. Similarly, we're not looking at any of the electronic games or roleplaying games right now. We'll get around to all of these games later. Similarly, we're not talking about any of the homegrown alternatives such as Inquisimunda. We've seen a number of recent games that are updated version of old GW "hobby" games. These include all of those for which we currently have sub-forums of the Other Games forum (Adeptus Titanicus, Aeronautica Imperialis, Kill Team, Necromunda). Without getting into wish-listing, many of us would like to see some of the other games that I've named being brought back by Games Workshop. This discussion isn't about whether or not individuals would like to see Games Workshop bring any of these games back. Instead. we're looking at how well the Bolter & Chainsword provides structure for hobbyists to discuss these games. Several of these games receive a degree of coverage at other excellent websites. For example, Necromunda is the focus of Yaktribe.com (though that site also provides files for a number of the other games we're discussing here), Specialist Arms is the inheritor of the Specialist Games forums and provides files for all of the old Specialist Games, and The Conclave is an excellent resource for players of the Inquisitor game. If you are a fan of any of these games, I highly recommend that you check out these sites and any others that are out there. Ultimately, the B&C isn't in competition with these sites. Rather, our role is to complement these sites. The feedback we're looking for at this point is whether or not you think that our current structure is adequate for your needs/desires insofar as these games are concerned. All of the "hobby" games listed above are currently covered under the general "Other Games" forum rather than in their own dedicated sub-forums. In theory, the proper use of tags will help to identify discussions about each of these games (e.g., we recommend that tags that I've used in this discussion). In addition, we're conducting a little survey to gauge interest in these games, either past, present, or future. All of the input, both text replies below and survey responses, will inform decisions we make about site structure. If little or not interest is expressed, we might maintain status quo. Alternately, if sufficient interest is expressed and a number of other factors come into play (larger technical things that I won't bore you with), we might provide more direct support for some or all of these games.
