Reply To: Warhammer Fantasy Battle….'returns'??

This could be good news except that….

1. The Old World they are returning to might not be the version of the Old World i want to go back to. I suspect it’s more likely that they’ll be returning to a version of the Old World that was something of a prototype for Age Of Sigmar rather than a low fantasy Renaissance Europe. At the very least it’s going to be difficult to return to a game in which there was a subtle and insidious influence of the chaos powers if canon also tells you that these same chaos powers can and do suddenly decide that they can’t be bothered with all that long game stuff and will simply send in the three headed budget dragon instead.

2. I was hoping that Warhammer Fantasy Role Play products, whether unofficial or official and licenced, would become increasingly free of Games Workshop’s input and restrictions since Warhammer Fantasy Battles was discontinued. I would think that any chance of that has just disappeared.

3. I doubt this means a return to the kind of miniatures i preferred, let alone the kind of miniatures i’d actually like.

4. I didn’t think the later versions of Warhammer Fantasy Battle were a good game and i don’t think i’m alone in this. (I don’t want a Kings of War either.) Are they going to be able to produce a Warhammer Fantasy Battle that anyone will actually like?
