Reply To: Changes coming to Warlord's support for exisiting games

The number of systems/models that Warlord has is indeed a bit over the top.

With Judge Dredd getting ‘new’ stuff  I too think it is unlikely they will end that.
Gates of Antares is a likely candidate, but they do list some of the figures in their ‘Stargrave’ section.

Their ‘Clearance’ sale lists a lot of SPQR products … and yet they spend time (and money) to fix/re-release the core rules.
I wonder if that means they’ve come to the conclusion that it is best to terminate that line as it may not be getting the traction it needs. OTOH the models do fit with the rest of their historicals within that timeframe.

I also suspect that they’ve used their monthly ‘supply boxes’ to get rid of stock and/or re-ignite interest. It certainly made me buy ‘more stuff’ … maybe there is a ‘mythic americas’ or ‘warlords of Erehwon’ themed one ‘soon’ ?

Unless they did a new starter set for GoA I wouldn’t know where or how to begin.
At the same time I doubt that it is a system that can survive on its own, because you’re not exactly ‘required’ to use their official minis … substitute GW armies and you’re done, right ?

And then there’s the few ranges they’ve added to their line-up (like SkyTrex)…
I wonder how that fits into the picture.
