@mecha82 9th Age is a free rules set so doesn’t really count as “someone doing it” – It’s not subject to market forces so there’s no risk behind it.  Mantic just released Vanguard so even they’re getting in on the skirmish market.  There simply isn’t a large market for a rank and file fantasty game no matter how much you personally might like them.  For GW to switch focus to rank and file would require there to be a significant appetite for such a game – Kings of War, while popular, is not big enough for GW so even if every single KoW player decided to switch to GW’s game it still wouldn’t make GW enough money for it to be worthwhile.
