End Times

Return of Reckoning ...where we make our own Mythos

[Blodia]

Ok so let me understand. The End Times was GWS way of ending Warhammer fantasy so they can do the 40k stuff or did they just sh*t the bed with this? Age of Sigmar was some lame attempt dues ex machina the fix what they fuqed up?

Basically it was the "rocks fall, everyone dies" option to reset the setting. Like the numerous apocalypse tier events in Marvel/DC comics for example. WHFB sales were low and they had to try something to reignite the IP. It kinda didn't work, divided the community and ruined quite a lot of things people liked, but it's not like GW cares or does market research.

OP you forgot to give credit to the guys who made that list.

Basically they killed fantasy, all the lore, to make Age of Sigmarines, a tacky fantasy 40k hybrid. Which still suffers from a lot of the same problems fantasy did, and has as of yet had lackluster sales and uptake with hobbyists.

A lot of the hobby base has shunned AOS, and ignore it. Some still play fantasy with older rules, or new fan rule projects. Many have left for other games. A few old timers are waiting to see if GW does a 180 as they have in the past. It's still too soon to tell if fantasy won't rise again.

To be honest I stopped buying a lot of the miniatures when they switched to plastic, and the designs just went in directions I didn't really like. That and it went from being a few dollars for 1-2 metal figures, to 30-40 dollars for a few plastic ones. The price hike was insane from my perspective.

I understand Middle Earth/Arda well enough, and I had a good handle on Forgotten realms until 4th/5th edition, and I was finally getting a decent grasp on the Old World, but then Age of Sigmar came along.

Its not beggining of the end . It's return to innocent.

There is 9th edition, which has quite reasonable rules. Guys are doing a splendid job.
Of course GW still owning IP, there won't be new special characters keeping same names. No Teclis or Settra
