What do you think about currently supported GW board games? Do you think that GW will try to keep them alive for a long while or just drop them after few release waves? New Blood Bowl is doing pretty fine for now but it would not be the first time GW just abandoning the system. There are so many GW proto-game projects that have been dropped - SW:A, Kill Team, Stormcloud Attack, AoS Skirmish, Gorechosen - some of them were just game supplements but they clearly worked as beta-testing for other projects.

Seems they invested a bit too much too drop them right off the bat. Could see it happening though in about two to three years if they're not seeing much success with it.

Out of these three only one game has WARHAMMER in the title.

It's a flagship game, GW stores (and independents) will be GIVING OUT PRIZES during matched play events.

Warhammer Underworlds is the 3rd main product line that GW does now. It's not a specialist, it's a main game they make and support.

Bloodbowl and Necromunda will probably get piss all and be scrapped when they stop selling. The original BB launch was Humans, Orcs, Dwarves, Skaven, Goblins Booster, Troll Booster, Ogre Booster. Proelves took a long ass time to get pushed out, and from sales they're moving to quarterly team releases (no word on plastic or forgeworld) because of the success of everything else.

Necromunda will probably hover around there, with a gang every 3/4 months, rumor mill says two gangs per GANG WAR BOOK (it's worth noting that the necromunda release is copy-paste bloodbowl release) so maybe Orlocks come out 3 months into 2018 with the other gang and the book and then it's a six month wait before you get the next two gangs. Nobody knows. Only time will tell.
It's safe as fuck to say that BB and Necromunda aren't going to get nearly the same support as Warhammer Underworlds.

They don't have warhammer in the name.

Will it come back?

Probably not anytime soon since Alan Bligh died and set forgeworld rules writing back a year or two.

Titanicus has stalled out a little bit and there's no way they'll get to BFG until Titanicus has settled and they check sales data from it

I imagine they'll probably do games that serve as a gateway in to 40k/AoS before they do one with minis that are incompatible with the Big Two.

BB was the exception because the community for it was huge even before the re-release.

Personally I'd rather see Gorkamorka or Mordheim (hell, I'd even take an AoS version of Mordheim) before BFG.

>BB was the exception because the community for it was huge even before the re-release.

Fun fact, bloodbowl was the largest GW tourmament ever back in 2006 (as in most participants) and with the multiple digital versions (chaos ball which ended up as blood bowl after court, and blood bowl 2) GW knew the fanbase was still there.

>Personally I'd rather see Gorkamorka or Mordheim (hell, I'd even take an AoS version of Mordheim) before BFG.

Honestly you basically have Gorkamorka right now, just take the 8e Orks, Slap some necromunda rules onto them (maybe dig up the intelligence values from RT) and away you go.

That said I'm sure BFG will be 100% forgeworld (like adeptus titanicus) where as Mordheim will be hybrid GW/FW (just like BB and Necromunda)

They just realized that there are people, that would like to play GW related games, but don't have the room to play the main games so they developed kitchen table friendly games or rather brought these back.
I would personally like to see more supplement type systems, I like the idea to use my minis on multiple games.

>Honestly you basically have Gorkamorka right now, just take the 8e Orks, Slap some necromunda rules onto them (maybe dig up the intelligence values from RT) and away you go.
I guarantee this is what they'd do with Gorkamorka, since Gorkamorka was basically Mad Max Necromunda WITH ORKS!!!

>That said I'm sure BFG will be 100% forgeworld
More than likely.

>where as Mordheim will be hybrid GW/FW
If they ever decide to do it. I had hoped Shadespire would scratch that Mordheim itch, but no.

Fuck Forge World I want GW to produce it.

Right after they hire back the Overfiend.
