Title: The Death of Specialist Games [GW]
Post by: Gen_Glory on May 18, 2013, 07:36:33 PM
so was looking at some mordheim/warhammer forums and came across numerous discussions of Games Workshop pulling their entire specialist games line

http://warhammer.org.uk/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=113698 (http://warhammer.org.uk/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=113698)

from what i gather this means all the existing stock will be sold/scrapped and games workshop will no longer support them

tis a sad time for fans of specialist games but it isnt really that surprising, no new figures for any of the lines have been released for nearly a decade and the rules are largely fan made now too

it would also appear the entire metal range is in fact being dropped
this includes all the collectable minatures

portugal the police GW anyway, they charge too much for everything and there are probably a lot of better systems out there for all their specialist games (and non specialist games too.)
