We were chatting about this in the unofficial weekender discussion after the announcement was made in Warlord’s email newsletter on Friday.  I was told the 2000AD license is going to Mongoose supported by Wargames Atlantic but I’ve not seen anything online to substantiate that.  Warlord don’t release sales data but you have to think that JD probably did enough business to justify the cost.  Slaine by their own admission caught them by surprise as it was a big hit and they brought out a second wave of minis that perhaps weren’t guaranteed a release but for the exceptional sales.  The very poor adaptation of the JD rules for the Slaine setting didn’t do the range any favours and once most of us played a game or two we moved on to other systems for our miniatures. I too don’t understand why they never went for Rogue Trooper but perhaps the rights weren’t in this license as there is a film on the way and therefore the rights for that title are more valuable and possibly already ceded to the filmmakers.
