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

Every company wants at least one ‘lifestyle’ game, because that means they’ve got repeat customers for as long as that franchise exists.

Like I said : it’s a business and they want all of your money.
I don’t want to support a company that does a ‘lifestyle’ game, because that means there will be changes to the product in order to keep up the appearance of support and make us spend money. I’d rather have products that get updates because there is a need to do them.

Keep in mind that due to the absolute daft use of distance units for scale it is impossible to find minis that fit unless you buy from just one supplier or are prepared to spend money on ‘samples’.
15mm is not a scale.(period)
1:56 is a scale … and there is practical ways of checking (especially for historicals) because there usually is at least one thing with known dimensions on a figure (the weapons). Fictional games are trickier (how big is a bolt-gun?), but you still have environments that need things that can be measured even if it is a ‘banana man’ type of reference.

And it’s also easier for players when the shop selling the rules also has products that align with the ruleset.

I’d argue that instead of trying to find companies that will support a game ad infinitum we should be looking for ways to make games last regardless of the commitment of those companies.

This is ‘easy’ with historicals, because if the scale and proportion of a mini is similar than competing product will work.

btw this is what their Discord server rules are :

7.) As this is the Official Warlord Games Discord, we need to take the view that Warlord Games and modes are the primary focus. Other miniatures that have a place in the game systems created and supported by Warlord may be discussed, but non-Warlord game systems will no longer be discussed.
