Can’t wait for Super-Primaris Marines……

If the fanboys didn’t riot when Nomad Investments, (code name: ‘Games Workshop’) destroyed WHFB via AoS, they’re not going to. They’re stuck in the rut of no escape. Back in the 00s, I tried for years to get people interested in other game systems, Fantasy Warriors, Flintloque, Slaughterloo, Fairy Meat, Erin, all very good games in my opinion, going as far as offering to provide them with rules copied by myself and letting them use whatever minis they already had – with little to no success. The only system anyone would touch that wasn’t either WHFB, 40K  or GW’s Peter Jackson LotR was Magic – The Gathering and, for a few months, the Harry Potter  CCG.

Today, gaming in my area is basically dead, the 40K  group have abandoned the only game store worth going to because they don’t want to sit there with diapers over their pie holes and the only ones left are the local senior citizen historical gaming group playing Bolt Action and a few die-hard Magic players.
