Yup, and that didn't happen because it wasn't commercially viable. You can't blame a company for choosing not to throw good money after bad.
The fact is there are enough models out there on ebay to make just about any army you want to, and anyone with any converting skills can knock up whatever they want.
Look, you've made your position clear. We disagree with you, so please stop trying to steal away epic players for your game.
Hi!
And why wasn't it commercially viable?
Know the answer?
As many know, I used to retail games and I do follow the industry.
WHY DID EPIC TANK TWICE IN A ROW?
Here's a hint....
..it wasn't the fan base...
..whom STILL would throw wads of cash their way....
GW is the sole responsible for those failures. For, totally and utterly failing at the marketing and distribution levels.
Before making categoric statements, you need to get your fact straight.
Also, your way out of line accusing PG. Now before you get any funny ideas, me and PG have had quite a few "tussles" and only until very recently, were almost always in disagreement with each other.
But I have been following sci-commander since Pete mentioned it, and NO WHERE do I see that PG is somehow a great pillar of developing than game, or is on these forums expressing anything other than his opinion.
As for "Stealing" players? So. Who appointed YOU overlord and guardian of epic players.
These boards also cover ALL types of 6mm games and systems. If a player can be so easily swayed to try another game and drop GW's offering, then.. geee.. maybe GW should do something about it.
It's been a while since I've had to flame a fanboy, but if you want respect, respect other peoples views and don't assign ulterior motives you cannot possibly prove.
