ah … Terminator the miniatures game.
Sadly doomed to fail, because it was tied to the shitty part of the movie series.

And also … I think it just didn’t have enough factions to allow for long term fun. Even Starwars Legion got 4+ factions now.
Imagine if they had focused on the post-apoc part of the series and also introduced rival factions (are we seriously led to believe that all humans act as one? … 😉 ). Or what if the Terminators were allowed to be a neutral faction like the zombies in ‘Walking dead’ ?
All sorts of scenarios would be possible, including bits from the original two movies where one terminator hunts down a specific character …

Walking Dead also used the concept of different dice to represent characters with better skills.
Force on Force does as well.

I think the problem GW have is two-fold :
= they don’t really care (enough) about the mechanics to want to change (I suspect their designers do … )
= they are afraid of losing (too many) customers if they do (which is why they could risk AoS as WFB was dead and only then change 40k itself …)
