Would never happen, if nothing else due to the ongoing rebrand of GW stores to “Warhammer” its to valuable a thing to license brand recognition away.  Plus i think its a bit of a fallacy to conflate a well performing KS campaign with commercial appetite for mass battle games, end of the day the people backing on KS are the market for that style, but ongoing purchases and all the things which didnt happen in terms of sales are why we have AoS, and GW as a company want to sell us high (stratospheric) margin show piece mini’s with the core troops being a secondary focus of sales (why you have prominently display the new big box mini’s in front of troops if you lack shelf space etc.) which again doesnt really work in a mass battle setting…

Its interesting that you mention total war as a reason to license, for me thats the perfect reason why not to license and killing off WHFB was a good idea, because total war does it better than it ever was on table top, in fact the only way i could see a real return of WHFB would be as software, but even if they did a 1:1 port you would still be going whats the point when there is total war…
