(Resposting from end of last thread)
I haven't seen anyone post this yet but new nurgle prices got leaked in french and spanish, also looks like HoH will be getting their standalone spearhead pretty quickly.
Prices in euros :
Tree RoR 74
Rotswords 51.50
Sloven knights 55
Festus 74
Pestigors 47.50
Blight kings 51.50
Nothing special aside from the sloven knights maybe being a smidge more expensive than these three man cavs usually are, aggradons are 51.50 for example, eels and morbheg are 50. Also no darkwater standalones yet. Festus seems kinda cheap at 74? His model looked huge

The spanish image and also says 74 for hindsight, so it's not an oversight or anything. Had another look and he's not quite as fuckhuge as I remember him, but still pretty good at 74 euros. Same price as the slann, and slightly cheaper than for example the carnosaur or mangler squigs.
This will make him cheaper than both gitmob chariot boxes lel.

>gitmob chariot boxes lel
The Gitmob Chariot boxes are fucking wild. I finally got my hands on the boss chariot using coupons and holy shit, it's so small. Literally the size of a normal infantry box and GW wants $100+ for that little fucker. I'm convinced that whoever set the Gitmob prices was literally dropping acid at the time they don't even slightly make sense.

Im pretty sure its a pretty consistent price when compared to the chariot bundles tow has, but I dunno.

I guess speaking of, does anyone know what happened to the anon maintaining that gofile archive of WD scans? They stopped at 515 a few months ago. I won't complain because it was a real thankless service to be doing such perfect scans of every issue within a month from when it came out, but i hope they're doing alright, their archival work was really helpful

I'm excited to try it, plus it gives me one other game mode to play while I'm still putting together a 2k army. It'll depend on what spearheads your facing of course but I would imagine spearhead rules make it feel less swingy than a 1k game would be.

I wouldn't be surprised if they were working on Tamurkhan originally and the higher ups changed their minds halfway through development that it would be Festus instead and they recycled what they could.
>>
>>97182810
Age of sigmar models are always a referential mishmash of different influences from world histories and GWs past IPs, so I don't think they were explicitly working on tamurkhan, but probably said "we need a new big nurgle hero, let's look back at the nurgle heroes of the past and throw something together based on them"
>>
>>97182734
I wouldn't be surprised. I imagine that GW's higher ups get kinda annoyed whenever they have to make a new base size for a model since molds cost a lot (even simple ones) and they don't really pay themself off if they're JUST making the base for one kit.

Euphoric does work with the archers. It also buffs Companion weapons, so Glutos and the Slickblade Seekers are good choices too.

I've been teaching people so I've been playing against newer players, but you obviously wanting to hit them first and leave no survivors to swing back.

Twinsouls are good, and a reinforced unit is swinging 41 times and can be good to sit on an objective. Somehow my Sigvald tends to be kind of ass despite his H/W rolls being easy as shit.

I'd almost say spam archers and cav. You need that mobility and they're hard-hitters that aren't characters. I like the Lord of Pain personally as his aura is fantastic. Lord of Hubris can run around as a bodyguard for people like Sigvald.

I've never played with the Daemons so I can't really help there.

>The Magmadroth known as Embermaw was a loyal and venerable warrior who survived countless battles against the forces of Chaos. When the noble beast finally succumbed to his wounds, he made a solemn pledge upon the blade that pierced his chest: should a warrior with a burning heart call to him in death, Embermaw would lend them his strength. Some say that other magmadroths have made similar artefacts in time, but others claim that there is only one such blade, and like all good promises, it is never truly broken.

I was not aware that magmadroths were sapient but I guess that's cool.

If you could pick just one between Lumineth’s launch box and the Spearhead, as a beginner, which would you pick?
Not a beginner painter, but I want to start playing AoS w/ Lumineth as my main army. That said I started painting their Underworlds band and man are they tough to paint at a higher standard.

On the one hand the release box has all bangers but everything else in the box is outdated ( would love to have some of the army art on paper for inspo though).
On the other hand spearhead I’ve heard is a great way to learn the game *but* I dislike the archers, particularly their helmets.
>>
>>97183821
If you can find the army set box for cheap, its good as a collection starter. If you can find the Vanari shining host battleforce box, its a good addition to that set. And ther current spearhead compliments those two sets.
>>
>>97183814
All the "... & other stories" are worth reading imo. They are not stellar but AoS anthologies in general give you a nice spread of different stories with a focus on multiple factions.

DISCLAIMER!
The story is quite good but it fucks the lore of the Deepkin quite severely.
>>
>>97183814
Godsbane gets a bad rap and it is basically as non-canon as BL will ever be but I liked it.
It's a more traditional adventure narrative with the party of heroes having journeys s that close in on one another without obscuring their ambitions. It's a split narrative between these characters and a villain who does fall a bit flat and preachy but it's solid otherwise.
I love Overlords of the Iron Dragon and Profits ruin too. Profits Ruin is a Verne style adventure that wonderfully fits Kharadron and the themes of the faction are perfectly encapsulated in it like chef's kiss by the end you can really appreciate what GW's intentions were with them.

>>97181222
It's funny because not even a month ago I was theory-crafting with a friend about 2v2 spearhead.
We felt like it wouldn't work because the board is too small so the first team could just lock the other one in their camp T1.

Haven't played the official rules yet but it looks clunky; the "control X objective/terrain" seems almost impossible to score so you could end up with really shitty hands.

I hate this shit. They went from incredibly overpriced trash taxed for a specialist game to here's 80% of the value of a SC box, it's totally worth it to get this warband at a discount!
NO IT ISN'T
And then the availability means they're scalped so if you do want one expect to buy 90% of some faggot's spearhead for him
>>
>>97183945
The problem is that they put them in every possible spearhead now. You can get away with a few but I think there's been more new spearheads with random warcry warbands than those without.
It's especially bad if they clearly just threw a bunch of shit together, like the nurgle one.

For one, they are actively abusive of the Thralls and blind them, but in lore Deepkin don't abuse them and they are born without eyes, they aren't blinded.
Seems small but that's a major divergence from the lore and the story is full to the brim with small but significant errors that completely ignore or alter the lore.

The only time of that I'm not a fan of is them trying to turn the underworlds wolf riders into the generic snarlboss. Like, I get it, it's a clever reuse of models, but...

The 40k detachments were nice from what I hear, but yeah it's them just repackaging normal warcom articles as some sort of hype building marketing. Best we can hope for are some grotmas RoR's imo.

The 40k detachments were actually just the three that were supposed to come with the data slate (and the three that got delayed last quarter) spread out across several days to make it look like a Grotmas thing. None of that stuff was specifically made for Grotmas and was also just normal quarterly releases.

It's parent trap shit. You can tell immediately based on the franchises they work with. Half of it is more kid friendly stuff and the other half is hot toys and warhams and shit, so the dad buys a big case for himself and then starts buying Timmy cases for his Lego mini figures and hot wheels and eventually Timmy will think he needs them, because his dad has cases for all his fancy figures. Eventually Timmy becomes a teenager, and starts buying warhammer or other collectibles and has this pre-wired connection with a brand name for displays instead of googling "display cases"
>>
>>97184890
Yeah and if you wanted thicker acrylic it's just sheets and nut blocks in the corner anyway? You can order then cut to shape everywhere anyway and I think most would be replacing the base and putting a handle in for a hybrid transport-display set up anyway so you already have the drill on hand

Genre fiction, on the whole, is usually low quality. Most of Robert, Lovecraft, and others were broadly pulp fiction with little to write home about. It's the love they put into their works, in spite of being pulp, that makes them good. Prince Maesa is one of the few novels that captures what AoS became from the starting point of GW Mandated Fantasy Setting. Magic is everywhere but how and where matters a lot. Most people know about magic and interact with it in a small way. It's also decent pulp. Man(elf) loses wife, goes to lengths to bring her back from the dead.

Not what I posted. Harbingers were playable as exemptions to list construction. The Fungoid was taken as part of any Destruction army without breaking their allegiance. Newfag.
From 2nd to 4th it was viable as an ally.
>>
>>97185583
Good tip, NTA but so far the only AOS books I've consumed have been Realmslayer and Soul Wars (And gloomspite but I didn't care much for thato ne). Both of which were solid at kinda giving a nice POV to the realms. I wish we had some lower end stuff not necessarily about a big named guy but like some weird off shoot, which I think they had as a horror series with Genevieve showing up for some fucking reason but that's apparently dead in the water.

I keep hoping to find something that really grabs me for AoS in the same way a lot of the earlier Gotrek and Felix or Thanquol books grabbed me for Fantasy.

would be kinda neat if you brought another faction's caster if you could cast the endless spells. Though in most cases that would probably break the fucking game.

Fuck allies and the allies system. For every one person using allies to bring some cool and thematic list there were 99 others just cherry picking the best shit to run some broken ass combo that brought every other army down to being the just about the same composition.
Armies should each look and play differently, allies allows for armies to cover their bases too well.
You want to play PtG or some narrative one off go fucking nuts everywhere else get fucked

nah, people like having options more than they like the semblance of "balance". Really, the issue is GW doesn't want to spend time writing rules for putting units into other factions armies with the correct restrictions in place to prevent overpowering combos.

True sylvaneth work because of the fae aspect, I wouldn't mind like one unit of normal wood elves tho.

My lgs only plays rules as written. If I could homebrew I'd just take a fungoid cave shaman in ironjawz, no big deal lol I'd even throw 50pts on it or something incase the once per battle 2 cast was a problem
I don't know, my lgs is by a tournament centric club but I'm not even sure there's a community overlap they just have this attitude of the game as a sport or something. I guess it's a TCG thing? MtG never seems casual either.
>>
>>97186113
Like as in the club that plays AOS does that or like, there's a little list of rules at the front they enforce?
>>
You should be able to apply negative traits onto units to make them cheaper. But the traits themselves have to be unique and only applicable for that one unit. Ideally these negative traits would be something flavorful.

Yeah I’m just describing ptg I think.

Trying to get my LGS to start playing AoS again but i basically have to build everything from scratch.

Is the malign sorceries set worth getting?

>>97186161
Players at my lgs playerbase doesn't tolerate homebrew or legends, or at least most of them (definitely all the ones I've tried it sit and the server community). I brought Ironsunz with ogors once and that were having none of it. Before that it UW warbands and WD battalions.
There's a play space nearby that has a regional team, hosts some games that contribute to the big tournaments or something too, etc. They would be very tournament matched play centric I guess but afaik it's two different playerbase, at least for AoS.
I wish I had chill friends who would be more relaxed but it is what it is and the crowd is otherwise friendly.
>>
>>97186260
If you're trying to get a club going it's a decent investment, since you can have a set of spells for everyone to use if they want to.

>>97186261
Shit and I thought my community was tourney brained, that's annoying. They let me run legends stuff for funsies at the very least.

What is up anons? I saw some people discussing allies and thought it was the perfect chance to show off this game I played recently. Open play and the name of the game is to stop the Beasts of Chaos from defiling a geomantic nexus, our brave heroes are the mighty Stormcast Eternals
with them they bring a small contingent of Ogors led by a mighty tyrant! Their foes was a massive herd of Beasts of Chaos, backed up by some of their god-aligned kin. We spent quite a bit of time on set up but I am pretty darn proud of it! Also we did shoot for around 2009 points but then went over it for rule of cool and fun.

The battle still rages on the very shimmering with chaotic taint, the land trembles and rebels as the vile magic of the Brayherd seeps into its core yet not all is lost, flickers of lighting crisscross the battlefield signs of departing Stormcast but also reinforcements. The loud crack of the Ironbreaker is heard as the cannon finds the Cygor's head reducing it to ruin. A Knight-Questor and his entourage laying low the debauched frivorlies of the Slaangors. Warriors of Sigmar shattering the foul beast's lines driving themselves towards the nexus of the foul ritual...

I bought the Blighted Wilds book; great mechanics and fun path to glory stuff. Even the little narrative they gave about the doctor and the nurglites and the undead was cool.

But one thing did bother me: they finally confirmed that not only did Phoenicium exist, but it also was captured by Chaos and renamed Blackpyre.

I gotta admit, it's kind of shitty of GW to do that. A lot of people had Freeguild armies from it, only for it to get completely removed.

Reality shifts grow oh so thin as laughter beyond mortal keen echos across the slain, two figures emerging from the foul aether to join in the carnage a Lord of Change manifesting in an inferno of mutative flame. Meanwhile daemon of decadence and desire slinks from the shadows ready to drink deep of the despair of the very land. It's claws tearing open draconic scales with ease. The ritual reaching a frenzied crescendo yey not enough bodies are there to resist the Eternal's push. Arrow, bolt and magic fly disrupting the delicate ritual, the Bray-Shamans unable to corral the corruptive magic as the feedback sees both reduced to babbling sludge. The mighty daemons fizzling from the realms as the aether recedes. A great plan foiled and sensation denied. The Stormcast Eternals survey the destruction, the land battered and scarred yet saved...one day to return to normal hopefully like all the realms.

They are from Shyish specializing in fight the forces of death. They abhor Nagash as he seeks to impose a static order on the very concept of death. So they plan on reviving a long dead godbeast to tear down the Shyish-Nadir and bring an emd to his regin!

I think a heavier armoured witch elf, but with a great weapon. Kind of like an executioner made for DoK.
To differentiate them from regular WAs, still units of 10, crit mortal, 2 attacks, rend -1, D2, anti hero.
4+ armour save.
>>
>>97189308
When I say heavier armoured, mean thigh highs are armoured, give them a helmet, armoured greaves etc. should still be a lot of skin. And it's heavily armoured for DoK.

Honestly, I really liked the lore in Blighted Wilds. I thought the whole "retired soldier forced back into service" plotline was generic but well done, the undead were awesome and I enjoyed all the new lore about what the Maggotkin were up to.
I've really enjoyed all the new lore we're getting in 4th, the Vermindoom and Helsmiths and everything is super interesting and it's nice to be getting enjoyable AoS lore again after literally every piece of lore and fluff in 3rd sucked damp ass.

Bretonnia is the Arthurian inspired faction GW wrote of which combines the legend of the holy grail with the lady of the lake and presents her as the chief diety of a faction of knights blessed with vigour by drinking of her chalice.

Big spoilers for Abraxia, but damn.
The Ur-Phoenix is just straight up dead. Abraxia lets it die during the story and it's even mentioned that to allow such a creature to die, would be to allow its rebirth.
Between this and the LR twins escaping with a tiny piece of it in Broken Realms, we're 100% getting new Phoenix Guard-esque units for the Realm-Lords.
There's so much important lore in this book in general it's kinda crazy. Hell, we even learn the current status of the Genesis Gate which is cool and entirely unexpected.
Seriously, read this!

Being asked to post models isn't a song and dance, it's a demonstration that you have skin in the game. Either you show people that your opinion is worth something or not.

Honestly I am about as snobby as you can get about mini painting while still being able to have a normal conversation and contrast is rapidly making me rethink my opinions now that I'm trying it out. Don't be mean about someone's minis. That defeats the purpose of posting them and cultivates a bad vibe, and aosg can actually be pretty chill when we're not eating the bait.

Always felt the same. People just lash out and say stupid shit for no reason here. I will say that if you're going to ask people to post models that it's only fair that you post your own while doing so. Also if the argument stops after you both posted models then it shows that it likely just a difference in opinion. If the argument deflects to your models then you know someone's shitstirring and can walk away. Even if the argument continues, generally people aren't as fired up and you get more thoughtful conversation rather than seetheposting back and forth

But this isn't 40kg, were a much smaller community. There's anons here with fully painted armies that I remember seeing as WiP.

I don't think I'll ever do tmm, but I've definitely seen and been impressed with contrast over metallics
>>
>>97191553
> Gryph hound grey
Absolutely loves a touch of medium and a second coat. Also really nice thinned way way back as a shade for cool white(I'm not fond of the contrasts with heavy white pigments)
> Blood Angels red
STRONG. Very thick medium, needs thinning and careful application on each panel. Looks really nice over brighter red basecoats. Shade/glaze with skeleton horde to add some warmth, sometimes the highlight go a little pink.
> Skeleton Horde
Work horse. Excellent out of the pot. Greatly for bone obviously, but also makes an incredible gold if put over a bright silver. Really fun shade for brighter greenskin skintones as well. Excellent for muzzle burn/patina. Place over badmoon yellow for the most stress free 2 coat yellow you'll ever do.
>Which ones are well regarded?
Baal red is insane. It doesn't give you the shading effect the other contrasts do but it's very very saturated and it's coverage is really good. People like imperial fist yellow, but I prefer badmoon yellow. You don't get good shading but I find imperial fist can be a little bit too orange for my tastes if you load it on. Guilliman flesh and darkoath flesh are phenomenal. One of my personal faves in the line is striking scorpion green. Really bright warm electric green with lovely saturation but a good amount of translucency.
>>
>>97191671
You don't have to go super crazy with tmm, just reinforcing some shadows and highlights will already make your metallics look a lot more interesting
>>
>>97191686
It's more about the fact that the rest of the mini is somewhere between the icing on the cake and the vegetables I have to eat before dessert, which is doing nmm. I can spend forever doing the same panel over and over again.

Not technically a specific dude, but my Nurglites are from an inexplicably large town on the border of a swamp called Mire Heath. In general the soil is impossibly fertile, the people are impossibly virile, the weather perpetually and unseasonably warm and autumnal. When Nagash unleashed necromantic energies across the mortal realms, they were almost completely unaffected - no still births, no failed crops, no livestock suddenly giving dried bone meal instead of milk.

There are obviously tradeoffs to engaging in inadvertent chaos worship, obviously. Sometimes, a giant tide of fat, writhing maggots the size of a man's arm sprout up. At that time, the mire is strictly off limits. This mini is a horseman trying to escape the encroaching worm tide.

The necromancer looks good, but I'm even more really impressed by how smoothly you've transitioned between multiple colors on the fish.

Absolutely sold on Guilliman Flesh, I've heard it's like Skeleton Horde in terms of high efficiency and looking good. Could you tell me more about baal red vs BA Red? Is Baal red more opaque?

>>
>>97191767
Thanks anon, the fish is my current dumping ground for mixes when I'm troubleshooting, he's had a couple all over washes of thinned skeleton horde and because the underlying patterns/colours all share yellow it pulls them all together really nicely. Guilliman flesh is great, the skin on the necromancer is 1part guilliman, 1 part AP fanatic soft tone, 2 parts contrast/speed paint medium over a white basecoat and that's it.
>baal red vs BA Red
For sure.
>BA red
Shading effect is strong, makes recesses very dark
Can apply a little unevenly if you don't baby it and thin it slightly with medium
Fairly thick
Skins really fast(really doesn't like being fussed with after application, apply and leave it alone, only touch the areas where it is heavily pooling and even then worse fast)
Behaves much better over a smooth bright red basecoat than a white one

>Baal red
ZERO shading effect (really good for getting that super strong red in one coat)
Insane saturation
Consistent tone across recesses/flat surfaces/highlights
Fairly smooth
Don't need to really fuss over it at all
Really needs a white basetone to pop hardest

The 4th ed rule book summarises the events of Dawnbringers VERY swiftly and poorly, check that if you're too lazy to read the actual lore.

Dawnbringers doesn't really have any noteworthy lore.
Kragnos is lured and trapped by Kroak after it's revealed Gobsprakk has been deliberately hiding evidence of his people's survival from him.
Kurnous is implied to return eventually, by Korak to Alarielle.
Phoenicium falls and but Lumineth save the essence of the Ur Phoenix.
Zenestra leads her followers to the ruins of a temple to the Cinder God, an Aqshy Death God. She abandons them through a realmgate inside it to Shyish when things go heads up and the implication is that she is the Cinder God or carries it's essence.
Krethusa has the essence of Morai-Heg, an Aelven demigod. She helps Hammerhal Aqaha deal with some ghouls.
And that's really it. Two crusades to found irrelevant cities that didn't even get rules or fluff. The leader of the Ghyran crusade is a Ghyran native and succumbs to the wild hunt. She's last shown with antlers and said to have disappeared.
Lotta nothing.

Varanguard are connected to the base via only the bottom of the hoof? No puddle to give more surface area, or peg to that slots into the base to give it proper a grip?

I think they're good for different things. Blood Angels red is really nice for super detailed small surfaces. For example if I wanted to do a braided rope in red or a small pouch, or a mushroom cap, I'd use bloodamgels because the shading effect you get is really nice, and on a smaller surface it's less likely to do something strange on your flat surfaces

True, shouldn't they be getting more stuff? I thought spitewood was supposed to be like a new location/season or however they do things with underworlds? It's been radiosilence since that release, then again I'm not sure how the underworlds schedule usually works.
>>
Can someone tell me if warcry is being officially killed off? I keep hearing rumors here but I don't follow the release schedule closely. Was warcry not a net positive? I see genuine board game normies playing that shit, and occasionally bigmar players buy units. Were they really selling that badly? How is spearhead better than Warcry from GW's POV?

>>
>>97192394
we have no idea
the general impression is that since the guy who was the lead rules designer left, nobody is going to pick up on it, and that gw is instead going to push for spearhead to be the "entry drug" game for newcomers instead of a skirmish game like warcry
I wouldn't be too surprised if the boxed sets didn't sell that much, many warbands were very niche concepts and the price kept increasing while the contents kept decreasing, especially scenery
but without data in hands it's dumb to make assumptions

>>97192453

>>97192394
The project lead developer Spearhead, which probably distracted from Warcry, and iirc the same team developed Darkwater. The project lead left in February and they secured a new lead recently, about the time they released rules support for the models that had come out in the last year.
Warcry was due a new edition this year but it's obvious it would delayed due to the above, but it could be cancelled.
The suggestions of cancellation are
>Online only
>Half the warbands are sold without cards
>Others are only in Spearhead boxes
>No rules for sale
>No starter box
If you walk into a GW store and ask where to get started with Warcry they'd shrug.

It's not ideal, it's pretty much like the Mortarch kit wherein you have the tail being the point of connection. So there's just a little dirt mound near the base of one of them you have to connect to the base. You could in theory glue it to the little wall it gives you.

Fuuuuuck. I really liked warcry. Insanely modular, points per mini, easy for newbies to get into. Painting a spearhead is such a tough ask, but I legitimately got three people to dabble with mini painting by giving away little warbands made of spare minis (couple spare ogres, couple spare skinks or dryads) and the PDFs that let you build a warband from your AOS minis.

I know we can't say without numbers but I genuinely struggle to understand how Warcry wasn't a big enough deal to keep it healthy even if theres a little internal restructuring. It certainly seemed more popular and a better gateway drug than Underworlds.

>>
>>97192572
These days if you want to play an GW game that isn't the "Mainline games" you're only real option is Kill Team.
>>
>>97192525
I think people interested in skirmish games are open to any setting so Kill Team is the natural draw atm with support and 40k players dabbling.
Warcry never took off at my lgs but even newbs there are like "I can't wait to play my first game, 500pts of a 2k army built I'm just a month away from my first ever game of age of sigmar!" They'd never touch anything else
>>
>>97192525
For what it's worth whenever gw does a stream the chat is always asking for warcry, which is surprising to me since it's 90% 40kiddies anyway.
I can see it being not as succesful from a sales point of view since like others said, the actual boxed sets were mostly pretty niche and you only need one set of terrain really. Anyway despite essentially radio silence on gw's part for a year+ (aside from chorfs) it still sees good play at my lgs.

>>97192581
Would it be bad for warcry to have that popularity? I guess I don't see whats wrong with 'being killteam'
>>
>>97192587

>Isn't killteam popular?
Killteam lost its identity overtime, and yeah its popular but its not what I would want from a skirmish game. If I want constant tourney mentality im sure there are better games for that.

Warcry was always like kill team 2nd edition tbf. Kill Team 1st edition was legitimately one of the best games GW put out, it's crazy they didn't immediately monetise it with preset teams

I love warcry, I don't think gw has ever made a game easier to grasp for normies. I've gotten so many people to play just by showing them they can make a warband of most of their favorite infantry for any aos army. Even if it gets squatted my playgroup will likely continue playing forever because the variety of warbands and the ease of play means you can essentially build or convert whatever you want and have a good time. I've found its really fun for repurposing board game or underworlds minis that you otherwise couldn't run. It's also the only ruleset you can currently run all of the contents of soul wars

The fact you can't get these dudes is a real shame. Warcry is also the only ruleset that let's you kill people with frisbees, I think it would be a great opportunity to do what they did with whu and release bundle boxes of the season 1 guys. If you threw 4-5 warbands worth of bits and bodies into a darkoath army you'd have a super sick group of guys. What they're doing with tow where they're dragging out ancient moulds to reprint makes me hopeful that those season 1 warbands aren't gone forever, and that more people will get to mess with them.

This actually helped clear up why it's getting gutted if it does. Warcry could generate tons of revenue, but the margins might be bad on any specific kit. It might be popular, but the business model is to constantly produce new moulds of unique high quality sculpts and then sell them for cheaper than a box of the old Blightkings. At some point the overhead from keeping the old offerings going was probably not worth it, and when they made it so that you could use AoS minis the game probably exploded in terms of how many people play/have ever played a round of warcry, but those gains probably didn't translate to actual sales.
