Both 40k and fantasy are moving towards just armies of 1 big machine/monster backed up by a couple of units. <br /><br />I get the feeling they don't know what they are aiming for. They have moved away from the old bright high fantasy style painting towards a more realistic grimness, but then are changing their sculpting towards more high fantasy flying chariots and chaos vortex beasts.<br /><br />I'm just glad mantic have come along....Statichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03517144747888797220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6855842206186604030.post-18554691358062552202013-07-31T13:31:58.689+00:002013-07-31T13:31:58.689+00:00Nice post!

I guess they are using a scatter gun approach where they hope to net all kinds of customers with different tastes in what makes a miniature look good.FourEyedMonsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18161202517627920103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6855842206186604030.post-44035441166688459792013-07-31T04:59:03.572+00:002013-07-31T04:59:03.572+00:00Thanks for all the feedback, I know GW can produce...Thanks for all the feedback, I know GW can produce fantastic stuff otherwise we wouldn't be in the hobby at all. <br /><br />GW reminds me of the auto industry long ago when the USA had dominance but they increasingly produced rubbish cars and their competitors overtook them.Vitorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15629180464132473487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6855842206186604030.post-7957502370181302792013-07-31T01:03:59.663+00:002013-07-31T01:03:59.663+00:00If GW made cool looking kits then how would Forge ...If GW made cool looking kits then how would Forge World have an customers.

This is actually somewhat more like the old Khorne Death Dealer from Epic. The Death Dealer also has the embarrassing Cock-Cannon, missing on the original Lord of Skulls...<br /><br />Anyway I don't care how old it is, it looked stupid then and it looked stupid now. When you see the conversions people have done using the torso you can see how GW are the last people who ought to be allowed to design minis for 40K. so many of the old guard have left the newcomers obviuously don't understand how the game is meant to look or feel :-(<br /><br />Knight of Infinite Resignationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02680099835726778306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6855842206186604030.post-56021602067356910902013-07-30T20:12:19.820+00:002013-07-30T20:12:19.820+00:00Just have a look at WHO is mainly in the hobby sto...Just have a look at WHO is mainly in the hobby stores. Not seasoned gaming veterans but kids who bring their money in.<br />I'm only in Fantasy but there is also a tendency for bigger thingies. Most of the stuff they did for my old armies is pretty cool, but the newer stuff e.g. Highelves with their flying chariot are just ridiculous. They have some awesome sculptors but with their flyers and oversized monsters they don't hit home. I think this is not only GW, just have a look at Warmachine with these huge models which cost over hundred dollars or other manbufacturers.<br />But as long as it sells it seems the company do something right there...Paradox0nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00099490313872544362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6855842206186604030.post-85894500683933459442013-07-30T20:08:22.439+00:002013-07-30T20:08:22.439+00:00yup...although it does come from epic 40k and has ...yup...although it does come from epic 40k and has been around since 1992 so the design is pretty much 21 years old...Lokkenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00366133071181168541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6855842206186604030.post-86613297069546887392013-07-30T19:38:09.512+00:002013-07-30T19:38:09.512+00:00yes they are horrible.

They should sack EVERY SINGLE GW STAFF DESIGNER and replace them with their Forgeworld counterparts.<br /><br />I can only imagine that their market research is carried out on three blind 12 year olds.
