What's up with the SG part of GW's site? Just a productlist for each game? Bloodbowl out-sourced, a first step for them all? Are we finally axed? Or can anyone see how to get the PDF'd rules etc? |

Rather than sue the guys, they encouraged them to produce what GW could not. Bloodbowl is far from being outsourced. Even if they did sell it, it would not be worth the exorbitant cost. Believe me, the Bloodbowl community has tried that thought already. |

frog~ My understanding was that FFG is to handle all or most of GW's boardgames. And thus the reason for the round of S&D letters, to ensure the trademarks. Anyhow, this was about what GW is doing to SG right now. |

It's a shame that they couldn't see their way to allowing this with Space Hulk (now having to be renamed to Alien Assault and also have the images etc changed). Although having said that, it probably had just as much to do with THQ having the rights to the WH40K universe when it comes to PC games etc. Erik M wrote: frog~ My understanding was that FFG is to handle all or most of GW's boardgames.

FFG is handling GW boardgames however only those that don't include a large component of miniatures, at this stage anyway.....don't know whether that'll change in the future. So boardgames like Space Hulk, Warhammer Quest and Blood Bowl were to remain in GW complete control. I guess GW still wanted to capitalise on/maintain control of the sale of mini's. |

Strange, today it was all back? The one I referred too had all items in one big listing for one thing. |

That Steve, was a very strange comment. Did I maybe enter a parallel universe then? |

Well if you read the thread you will see - with links provided, that the llink on the menu was temporarily missing but the resources were still there and could be directly linked to or found by selecting an epic item when they came up as a related item. But don't let facts get in the way of a scare story. |
