New GW Game next Saturday

[Darren]

I spoke to a GW staffer last night about this - I trust him as I've known him for at least eight years.  He inferred that this game is going to get further support after release - that other stuff will be issued for it after it's out.  He might be wrong about it but I don't think he was lying as we know each other too well.  I might be tempted with the game if there was additional releases.

Space Hulk is a good game but expansions would have made it longer lasting - I've not played it at all after the first couple of months since it was released.

That would be a novelty, they seem to have nothing on the shelves except for their two core games.  A pity as their other games needed support.

I would rather have Mordhiem or Necromunda

Right, a new editon of Mordheim would make me happy.

Can't see it happening, a shame as it was a cracking game and well supported for a long time.

Same here. We played it solidly for about two months but then got bored.

Not a new edition. I'd hate to think what they'd do to the rules. A re-release would be good but please don't let them mess with the minis. 

I used to love Man-O-War. Was actually the first GW game I ever got. My dad bought me it 'cos it was cheaper than their other boxed games at the time . The mini's for it were great too.

Being mainly painter and collector I don’t care much about rules

Well just think of all the amazing Necromunda models they binned and replaced with rather poor ones when they re-released it as Necromunda: Underhive.

That said the current Mordheim models aren't so easy to get hold of and as is the norm for GW cost a bomb for what they are so who knows which situation could be better if any.

"I spoke to a GW staffer last night about this ... He inferred that this game is going to get further support after release..."

The rumor mill is mostly churning up "one-time release", but it could of course be dead wrong.  I hope the staffer you spoke to is correct!

I would love to see them re-release the missing Mordheim models.  Some of the gaps are particularly weird, like the Sisters of Sigmar's auger - a hero, so everyone needs her... and all of the rest of the models are still available.

[Prof.Witchheimer]

I still remember the GW talking about Mordheim immediately after the official release, it did sound exactly like that - “will support, will be forever and so on”. Now we know what the result looks like. So I guess the new game would meet the same destiny. Deportation to Specialist Games..

[joroas]

...like all of the rest of those great games...............

[Ramshackle_Curtis]

John Blanche's name being attached doesn't help for me.

I can't stand his style when it comes to drawing people.

Well, I dont like VanGogh, but I cant deny that he is a world renowned and influential artist!

As for people who spend £100 on a game and then play it for 2 months, shame on you! I still play the old version of space hulk! The models in the new one were really nice, how come they dont make more models like those? I know plenty of people who paffed the cash on the game, but dont deserve it! WHat a waste.

Anyway, the new game will have some nice and/or weird models, so maybe its worth it? Hell, its probably worth buying then hording.....

[Relic]

But we know that GW is about business first, and if a certain game doesn't reach a certain sales / revenue level it will not be continued. It's just about numbers. It just isn't enough if a couple of thousand gamers around the world like the game. Why should Mordheim be released again? It has all the rules needed and there's plenty of figures to use in whatever scale we want. That same goes for necromunda. I think it's the rules that matter the most, since if they already work why remake them? Just choose figures from other manufacturers.

[Kitsune]

I'd like to see a necromunda redo for the scenery, if nothing else.

That, and I want the OLD Ratskin and Redemptionist models back! The newer ones are rubbish.

Actually I don’t need any new rules, I play way too rarely. I’m collecting Mordheim miniatures, all of them and unfortunately a lot of them are OOP and so it’s getting a very expensive matter. Re-release would give me the opportunity to get closed all my Mordheim collection gaps. And I don’t mind at all if they would bring out some new models, not because I need them, I’ve got enough, I’m even producing some with our LAM Bruegelburg range. Just for only collecting reason, so that my collection would  also continue to grow Apart from that it would be nice to have  a new shiny Mordheim book, always loved the pics
