That SW Miniatures game from WotC was pretty much CMG with ugly sculpts and bad prepaints meant to compete with WK’s Heroclix. I think that lisence has big part of X-Wing’s and Armada’s success besides of high quality sculpts and actually good prepaints is that SW lisence as everyone knows SW while only wargamers and […]

I think Star Wars would bring in some new and divert some from 40k

There’s been Star Wars miniatures for a long time. WotC had it but chose not to renew it because it wasn’t selling well enough. It was a moderate success in the 90s for West End, who only got it in the first place because GW didn’t want it. Even with X-Wing being a smash hit […]

I agree that now is probably the time to get on the bandwagon if you’re considering doing so but I think somehow Star Wars has sales potential even if Disney stop doing movies for a few years.

When I say it won’t last forever, I mean the big sales that are propelling X-Wing and Rebellion to the top of the charts. If I’m GW, that’s what I want to tap into by having the Star Wars license. They’re available now, but this level of interest won’t last forever. If I get the […]

Learning to airbrush continues… while waiting for my Stormcast Eternals paints to arrive.

GTA V might make a great board game, it’s just not something GW would want because it doesn’t lead to people buying loads of models after they bought the game. It’s more along the lines of something FFG might make. There are other licenses that do but maybe aren’t popular enough to make the amount […]

Here are the interview questions with thanks to our contributor. CG, How long have you been a wargamer? I played when I was a teenager then had a twenty year break. I got back into the hobby a couple of years ago. CG, Is there anything that you have enjoyed in the last couple of […]
