This week I shall pledge to do…SOMETHING! Seriously, I haven’t really got many plans. I only just got Cypher on a base (see below and on project)… I MIGHT do a Lannister Guard Captain…or maybe on of the banners for them, but who knows? Got a few school assignments this week alongside a whole bunch of things I should have been doing, but haven’t. I do take exception with the ‘Almost February’ title…that basically translates to ‘Almost 30’ for me… 😛 Anyway, some questions…

Why is G’Wullu so reluctant in releasing new Orc models?

Simple, Orks need VAST numbers of minis so people who play them will either buy what is on offer, or not play Orks. They probably think they max their profits by not bothering to change the basic unit and only throw out some of the ‘cooler’ stuff every now and then. I also suspect that Ork players are the most likely to buy any kind of vehicles and make them Orky; that’s what my sister-in-law does. It’s a shame, but places like Kromlech are obviously not digging into their profits enough to warrant a fundamental change.

How much did you order from brigade models?

Nothing. Not even sure what they make. I may have missed something by not watching the Weekender yet…

Will we ever get a really new game or will everything in the future be a rehash from what is already there?

There’s only so many ways you can make a tabletop game, really. At a fundamental level, they are all copies of two or three basic concepts with extra stuff put on. I think setting and style are the things that draw people in. One of the reasons I still play GW games; I like the settings. Very much against the grain here, but I prefer AoS to Fantasy. It’s just more fun. More wacky. More fox spirits. More diverse. Less obnoxious ‘I have already won’ players. Which is another thing that makes or breaks a game; player base. I hate competitive games… Oh and I don’t mean diverse in a ‘political correctness gone mad’ sort of way. I just like the idea of throwing the book away and thinking ‘why can’t elves ride kangaroos?’ and so on. Slightly off topic there…

Anyway, Cypher!
