Space King took the core audience of 40k, being chuds who just want to have fun. A shame what wokescolding will do for venerable IP like 40k...

GW makes 8 million dollars every couple of days.

>>98739214
Good.

>>98739227
Gross or net? What proportion goes to licensing?

> When do we get "Total War: Space King?"

That's not remotely true, but I wish it was.

You're cheering to early, but yes after Amazon is done raping the corpse of Warhammer its all going to be downhill rapidly
>>
>>98739214
happy for them for their success but it's just an ironic parody ip, not something that plays in the same arena as 40k. If you think people who collect space marines will want to keep collecting psycho warriors beyond a one time laugh I think you'll be disappointed.
>>
>>98739214

You make GW fluff writers seem numerate.
>>
>>98739311
licensing is part of the reason it makes that much money.
>>
>>98739677
Agreed. It is also wonderful advertisement. Started 3rd edition because of the first Dawn of War.
>>
>>98739214
I'm gonna bet 300 on "shit that never happened"
>>
>>98739214
It has been dead since 5th. Current 40k is just a thing wearing the skin of a friend while everyone acts like it is not happening and it is a good thing.

> 210 millions / 365 days

NGL, quite a bit higher than expected. I'm still hyped at a new franchise, even one that's clearly a parody like Space King, punching up.

We need similar for Star Wars.
>>
>>98739714
> Dead since 5th
Let's just ignore the 8th revival that took GW into the stratosphere.
You are so fucking ignorant you shouldn't even speak

Why do they need to sell dollars?
>>
Holy shit enough threads about that garbage, buy an ad already.
>>
Why do you faggots feel the need to endlessly spam this shit? The Kickstarter raised the equivalent to a rounding error of GWs annual gross income. Can't wait for this shit to get delayed endlessly before finally releasing a half -baked product four years after the promised release like every other shitty scamstarter boardgame.
>>
>5 Space Shit threads at the same time

I'm gonna give you kids a piece of advice: /tg/ is a pretty slow board, and the general board culture is to look for an already existing thread of whatever topic you wanna talk about instead of making a new one. Many threads about the same thing popping up at the same time is a pretty obvious red flag that this is just some shill campaign by people who haven't stepped here in their lives.
Also your show suck ass, fuck off to /v/, tourist
>>
>>98739788
Then apply for a janny post faggot.
>>
>>98739743
To then buy them back when the other currency changes value later one. For example buying yen when it was falling, and when the US gave Japan money to stabilize their currency you sell and make like 20 cents per dollar doing nothing besides waiting for trends.
A couple millionaires got there doing that.

So was 40k when it started. The winds are shifting...
>>
>>98739738
8th and onward isn't 40k. 40k was a wargame

Could you please stop whining

40k never was a wargame. Early editions were oversized skirmish and later well...

Bi annual price increases are probably a bad idea if you want to get people into the hobby.

My LGS started breaking up the armageddon boxes into plastic bags and there's still a ton of them just taking up space, the same boxes week after week.

I'm really looking forward to when the tide turns and you can't have a space king thread without everyone shitting on it and talking about the next kickstarter instead
>>
>>98739214
Meanwhile over here in the real world 11e is on track to become the most popular edition to date

If Flashgitz genuinely fuck it up to the point shitting on it is warranted then I have zero problems with the wokies doing a victory lap.

The big difference between SK and TC is that except for the lead poisoned cup (which replacements are sent out for as we speak and the rest of the merch box was fine)
Spaceking hasn't done anything wrong yet, but is already hated with vitriol by the politico-brains on the left for no reason.

Where as Trench Crusade was initially well received by both sides until they fucked so much shit up that any hatred for it is completely justified at this point.

Chuds will continue to win because they have no issues admitting someone on their side fucked up if the proof is there. Meanwhile troon cucks will continue to run defence for the retarded TC devs in the face of overwhelming evidence until the very end.

>>98740303
Everyone's kind of fed up with it already tho- the mission & cover changes are nice but the marine toughness changes have kind of pissed players off to no end since this needed to be an index edition apparently
>>
>>98740896
Chuds win, troons spin
>>
>>98739738
8th is what convinced me to stop playing new editions and have still been playing 7th since.

>No (trans)girls anywhere

>See there is a new game
>Walk to the clerk, the beautiful transfemme sapphic ethnic MAP replaced by a pale chudling with fucked up teeth

We lost sigmarxsts sissies...
Our transgender freakout came to an end, the cis chuds won... they fuarking won...

I wonder if the pivot so hard to licensing/shows/alternative revenue sources is because they've realized that the tabletop game is becoming less popular. I've been to a few different GW stores in different states lately and they have all been dead. I am sure they are still making MASSIVE amounts of money from how expensive the models have gotten.

It may just be me but the brand feels larger (IE more known) but weaker. (Dumb choices in the lore and games that have damaged the brand.)
>>
>>98739922
I don't follow a lot of tabletop news but this whole campaign has reminded me of the Trench Crusade situation. The vibe I am getting is that it's being heavily glazed but will be basically forgotten as soon as the models are released.
>>
>>98740896
>Chuds will continue to win because they have no issues admitting someone on their side fucked up if the proof is there.
The existence of the Fell For It Again Award suggests otherwise

I liked the idea of Trench Crusade at the start but the more and more they revealed of the lore/world it felt like lower quality each time.

Now it just feels grim-stupid.

Almost bros, almost.

>>98741707
TC began with an excellent concept, but then they bitched out once the fleshing-out of it started. Now it's so full of safety honey pits and mealy-mouthed sophistry in order not to offend that it's a joke setting that can't withstand inquiry into consistency.
