hypnox 08/23/21 6:48:41 PM #1:	I think they lost sight of it all and greed took over. Yes, I know its been like this for years now. But right now its next to impossible to get new blood through the door. I can not go up to a friend and be like wanna spend between 750 and a grand to see if you like this game? I mean the cheapest option is the starter kit thats like 220 I think? and thats two SMALL, SMALL armies that you may not want nor is it remotely enough to get into the game. I mean other games aren't like this. I mean if I was trying to get you into MTG we could go to a game store and pick up two precon decks for a reasonable price and probably have more fun with those than Meta decks. But the starter kit for Warhammer leaves you wanting more before you even get half way through your first game. And the prices don't even seem to make sense. I have a perfect grade gundam that cost 200 dollars and has more plastic than any of my Warhammer armies. --- http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0ajm6lGqf1qekkfi.gif <cite>hypnox posted [p:957372450] in Games Work...

Unfortunately any other competitor either targeted different markets, or they never caught on to the level to be a real contender.

Prices even back then were like $45 for a 5 pack of Assault Troop Space Marines or a tank or something. I must have spent over $500, probably more... I didn't even want to play 40K, or Space Marines... I preferred Warhammer Fantasy, but they were all doing 40K, and had the other armies already, so I ended up getting roped into it. Only benefit was they had a bunch of basic bolt rifle SM's that I got from my friends for cheap. But I guess that's the equivalent of a gateway drug, lol Still got my collection, I should probably try to sell them... The thing that annoyed me the most was that in official tournaments, they required any options / bonus weapons to be on the model. Obviously I'm not going to constantly rip off and glue stuff to my models to meet points thresholds, so it was just a blatant ploy to get people to buy more models... <cite>streamofthesky posted [p:957383096] in Games Work...

Although I guess Age of Sigmar is sort of the continuation, my understanding is they basically just released it to keep selling stuff to the tiny fanbase it still has. Age of Sigmar basically became more popular within two years than Fantasy ever was. Has better paced releases than 40k now tbh, and a story that's actually going somewhere. It's difficult to overstate how much of an absolute commercial failure WHF was. For decades. There are a lot of reasons for this, but scrapping it has worked out for them. --- I have no idea whether or not he's a racist, but apparently there are recordings of him using racial slurs so it's a distinct possibility. <cite>Blighboy posted [p:957386881] in Games Work...
