the GW supply chain isn’t a mess.

It’s focused on creating as much FOMO as possible so the things they got sell out the moment they are up for pre-order.

I also noticed that anything that isn’t part of the primary poster boy army lists won’t ever be available. Gloomspite Gitz had spiders as part of their army lists in AoS, but all the releases they ever got were for the bouncy squigs. Sure, it made them more unique, but I would have loved to field spider cavalry with a few of the really big spiders that GW used to make.

I had soo many great ideas. .. only to never ever get them off the ground, because unless you buy at launch you’re never going to get anything in the quantities the game needs.

(and the less said about the rules bloat the better)

@sundancer which is kind of why I said that there’s no competing with GW. Xwing got really lucky because they hit that perfect combo of a game that was fun to play straight out of the box and a brand that everyone recognised. There’s no way in heck Trenchcrusade (or any other game) could capture that.

Halo is one that could be a threat, but it still needs a perfect combo of opportunities and luck to get there (as well as a presence in regular shops like Xwing had).
