Nooooo, not the dreaded game of Tootsies under the table :laugh: how could you stand for that? :laugh:

I think the first thing would be to get the rest of the armies minis out poste haste

"Simple, each stand represents a Company... ;)

Who's got a planet-sized playing area, anyway? "


Why not just play at 28mm scale and for a playing area... well I don't think anyone else is using the Moon right now...

Course we just need to figure out how to transport them there and then how to stop the Greys from stealing our minis once we do.  :p

Hmmm... my thoughts:

Make the extensively-playtested-and-developed community lists into canon.  Have them done up with the same great artwork as in the rest of the SG PDFs.

Redevelop a boxed set, such as was done for Epic 40k:  two basic armies, softback rules, terrain, dice, markers, for $80.

Accelerate the release schedule on Tyranids and Tau, followed by Chaos and Necrons.

Every army would get plastic infantry, which would be available in a battleforce box like they used to be.

Modular Titans:  Produce a basic Titan body for each race, and then a selection of weapons to choose from.  You could also produce the bodies in parts, so that swapping out a torso, carapace, legs, or whatever would allow someone to make several different kinds of Titans.  This would help streamline production but still allow for variety.

Revise the price schedule.  Basic blisters (i.e., 3 vehicles or so) would be be $8;  advanced blisters (superheavies, Squiggoths, four fliers, four Land Raiders, CI/Leviathans, etc.) would be around $14, Titans and other similar ilk would top out at no more than $20.  

Or you could go to a flat rate affair such as GHQ has -- five M1A1's cost the same $8.95 as five Humvees.  Screw the power pricing.  If Reaper can market two Fenri Gunships for $8, then GW can sell two Valkyries for the same.

Make and market terrain packs.

Market aggressively in WD and on the GW family of websites.  Give indie retailers special pricing on intro packs of Epicy goodness.  Make Epic a centerpiece of GamesDay and whatever other cons GW frequents.

Most of all:  stop screwing over the fans!

I'd create a boxed starter-set and sell it in GW stores.

The plastics are all already in place, so's the rule book & dice etc. GWEU can supply the metric whippy-sticks.

What else is missing!?

Finish the army lists.
Get the minis in production, at a reasonable price.

Reap profits.

It's really that simple.

Sadly, that's the truth... why can't GW see that?

Because they have an agenda from the Men in Black. Now we just need to figure out what it is......

Thus starts the X-Files Episode: The GW Conspiracy
