I was going with a retread of Mordheim as most likely, HOWEVER now that they’ve done this big map and populated it with factions I’m steering away from this guess (after all if it was a Mordheim retread, why would you need such a big map).

So next to shoot down would be a 28mm rank and file game, I guess this would be in direct competition with AoS for a similar customer base (ie 28mm fantasy figures). So I doubt it going to be that…

So possibly an “epic” scale “warmaster” style game. However if its going to be set in the era we’re guessing are we going to be looking at an Imperial vs Imperial starter set (less tooling needed) to enact the civil war (with other races/factions coming out dependant on success of initial box set?). On this one still unsure, they might do one in the same vein as Adepticus Mechanicus (high cost “retro” boutique style game that prices itself out of becoming mainstream, but best fit if you planning on a limited release…which GW seem REALLY fond about doing these days with just about anything).

OR a Mordheim style game following the Necromunda retread of a box set for a faction (with card and dice), but someone opening up the game to allow wider scope for these far flung factions featured on this map (no idea how they would manage that).

So for now I’m thinking a box set similar to the Battle of Five Armies in format with Imperial vs Imperial armies priced insanely high as a “limited” release aimed at “collectors” rather than the general gamer.
