I know there’s lots of GW fans out there, but I hope you’re not going to fall back to covering JUST the two warhammer games… There’s great games out there, and there should be at least a quarter of all videos every week dedicated to other games !

I’m one of those guys who, while not systematically booing the GW coverage (hell, I played it once of twice, years ago, and i still paint some of the minis), didn’t bother to follow much of what’s going on on this website because it’s always all GW and only GW. It’s just not that interesting for everyone else, you know…
The exceptions were rare and far apart (mostly the coverage of events or general news about the hobby), until recently a great deal of warmachine/hordes coverage attracted my attention and made me register. You even did an Ex-Illis vid !

My point : You claim to want to be a website that support all wargames, and all communities. You try and make people come here and talk about their games, whether they’re GW or not. It’s all well and good… But if you don’t cover the other games in your articles and videos, well, no one’s going to come. I know the wargame scene is mostly GW, but there’s been MORE than enough of that already. I feel that the other games have a lot more catching up to do.

I understand that the Dark Eldars are just out, but still… There’s ALWAYS something “just out” with GW, because they’re well marketed and well funded, and, well… everywhere. It isn’t so with other games. Does that mean they need less coverage ? I believe that’s exactly why the need MORE. Hobbyists need alternatives to GW (and not just because of the prohibitive pricing… because if GW is the only “face” of wargame for society, many people are going to spurn wargames as a whole because they don’t know about other games who might be more suited to their frame of mind, or their way to have fun… I’m thinking Ron & Bones, Alkemy, Malifaux, Warmachine/Hordes, and many other games STILL unjustly considered “newcomers” and unknown… which is extraordinary, since some of them have been here for years !).

These last weeks, warmachine/hordes have caught up a bit… Only a bit.

Great stuff, but not enough to even introduce this less known game. This week, warhammer has been back “en masse” with 10 or 11 vids… against 2 vids for warmachine, 1 about ex-Illis (and indirectly STILL with warhammer content !) and another one that’s more general but mainly talks about GW (although it’s rather interesting).

Is the ratio always going to be such, from now on ? Mainly GW and maybe one or two scraps for the rest ? There’s a lot to cover with other games and you have barely scratched the surface.

I know I’m going to get flamed by GW fans here, and we all have to pay hommage to the most successful and best marketed wargame there is, the MickeyD’s of all hobbyists… But honestly, isn’t there enough of it everywhere ? Those who follow other brands sometimes feel starved for content, frustrated of coverage, and asphyxiated by GW omnipresence – not just on this site.

Anyway, that was my rant… Hopefully, I’ll get more of what I like soon. Everybody defends his own thing… I wish my thing didn’t need defending, like GW.

I would have liked to have had a reply from BoW instead of just a few werhammer fans clicking on “-1” near my message. Surely my message was civil enough !

Surely even rabid GW fans can understand that since their games are omnipresent, covered everywhere, on every website, sold in its dedicated branches as well as everywhere else… They don’t need as much coverage as the other, more struggling games ! And yet it gets MORE of it.

The warhammer vids on this site still overwhelm all the rest combined by 30 to 1, perhaps more.

Is it fair ? I think not.

I’m not against GW per se, it’s just that… THERE’S OTHER PEOPLE !
