Less models?! ...I'd rather have more models and the same level of online support from GW/SG- fan publications like Incoming!, this website, Netepic.org and Dropship already provide superb online content, and Fanatic Mag provides a good fix of official stuff for me... Will this also limit SG's freedom and cause the Specialist games range to be more strictly controlled and marketed like 40k and WHFB stuff? ..I sincerely hope not. My 2 bits.... ~Stormy _________________ www.darkrealmminiatures.com |

I am very sceptical about this as well. _________________ https://www.cybershadow.ninja - A brief look into my twisted world, including wargames and beyond. https://www.net-armageddon.org - The official NetEA (Epic Armageddon) site and resource. |

totally agree with Stormy there models make money (or lose money) Online support is only a small cost (especially if you can get the players to write the stuff). If you think of the Epic community, we all do it in our spare time. Less than one person could run all the SG online support. I don't see how making less models is an indication of "success" of SG. I will echo Primarch from a few months ago, the main problem with Epic will be the marketing... In the last year I have bought two (possible three) Epic blisters. If they have been in the shops I might have bought one every time I picked up WD or Fanatic mag. Less models... At least the Feral Orks may see the light of day.... as for the Necrons.... 2054 maybe? |

The painting scheme is actually an expansion & not the closing of commission work. The Painters for the painting scheme keep the final miniatures - Fanatic still commission pieces for display at shows & for their own private reference in the studio. However I do wonder if they'll now get all that covered in house by the heavy metal team. I agree with your obvious expansion that fewer models = fewer sculpts, but this is what I find strange. Its only recently that they've been asking me about epic character pieces & I'd imagine they'd be the first off the list if they really are cutting back. It tends to make me think (hope...) that this initial announcement sounds worse than its really going to be. At the end of the day, speculating wont help us, only time will tell! It has to be said that The above is more a selfish concern for future work rather than the hobby. I honestly believe that as long as JJ is at the Helm, we will get the best support he can give us. Its when he dissapears that I'll start to really worry. until then I'm prepared to generally sit back & see what hapens. _________________ Cheers, Paul "TuffSkull" T. http://hobbybrush.com - My New Website, with thousands of painted Mini Pics :) http://hobbybrush.blogspot.com - My Hobby Blog TuffSkull's notepad- My Old Blog on Wargames Wiki. |
