Couldn't see the new game n the website, although I did see them advertising free fast delivery if you send over $450. (Usual free delivery is if you spend over $100)

Just found it myself but thanks
Looks to be lots of weapon options for the scouts.

Lost patrols priced for £35 for uk,the new genestealer doesn't do it for  me so I won't bother,I'm holding out for blood bowl as I  reckon my eldest would like playing that.

Mind me him and the wife/mum played monopoly last night and that was aggressive enough

Well, it's probably too early for such wild speculation, but perhaps we'll see a Warhammer Fantasy relaunch in a few years when they've sorted their shit out a bit.

In the meantime I'd be happy if warhammer Diskwars was given more support. I'm not sure if it's GW or FFG who are to blame but it's a fun little game that catches the WHFB itch but it seems to have been left to wallow.

It is a result of low sales.

Are they new sculpts or are they just reusing the Genestealer sprue from that Ultramarines v. Tyranids boxed set?

From what I understand full normal sprues, I was expecting "snap fit" stuff also.

Dunno ,some look similar to the current ones in tyranid section, which they don't impress me at all.

Looks as if GW are going back to the days of having loads of different types of games to play, not quite like those published in White Dwarf. Can't wait for BB and Necromunda to come back.

First the nerf hammer.
Then the forgotten dusty shelves of neglection.
And now, finally, the ban hammer.

RIP Bretonnia, May nostalgia keep you warm.

Looks like the free company is in the "last chance to buy" section also. Pretty useful for frostgrave I think, since those are the old mordheim models.  Could just be a re-boxing, in the end though.

[Vermis]

Shoot, they really cleared out a lot of the ranges. I might have to do some panic buying...

No doubt.  Low sales following very little publicity? Funny that.

FFG does very little marketing of products after release. They did create and sell Organized Play kits for the game but even with that game didn't sell as well as other products in their catalogue. Not sure why as its a pretty fun game.

While a decent, versatile kit - it's aging immensely.  I'd like to see a replacement box if Mordheim gets a re-boot (alternately, perhaps people will pick up the Frostgrave plastics for Mordheim if it does show back up!).
