RandyB Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 BOLS has a click bait article. In related news they sky is blue and grass is green. "Click bait" is entirely too kind.

Panzer Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 More like: rulebook, 3 codexes chapter approved FAQ/Errattas (Vigilius, Urban Conquest, Apoc, whatever extra) The difference between 1 codex and 3 in weight, space, etc is significant. I miss the days of Codex, mini-Core, models. Except that you only need this many if you chose to. Nobody forces you to take allies from two different Codexes and nobody forces you to play CA missions (for points you are good with battlescribe). The key difference is that 40k sells well, WHFB didn't and hadn't for quite some time. That, combined with issues arising around IP protection, necessitated the move to Age of Sigmar. WHFB didn't sell because GW outpriced their audience. There was plenty of potential newblood. The problem was they all got put off when 8th pretty much mandated you buy six boxes of Core - at least - and all the trimmings before you had anywhere need a viable army. The game just did not function at lower points levels compared to 40k when 500pts wasn't too bad of a ways to introduce newcomers and only really necessitated two Troop boxes and a HQ for most. Now, 40k will always be the front runner but it's entirely possible for them to fall into the same trap again. The impact won't be nearly as bad as 8th was for WHFB, but it's far from impossible. Whales can only go so far. Exactly this. Plus the fact they switched to finecrap when they released WHFB 8e and lied to peoples faces telling them the models would become cheaper and better quality when in fact they raised the prices and the quality hit rock bottom lol Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/352538-speculation-article-on-bols-could-8th-ed-40k-be-the-last/page/2/#findComment-5232741 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Casman Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Well, it's looking like this particular thread has run it's course, I think. Only GW knows if they're going to stop making new editions of 40k, and I doubt they'll tell us at this point.
