I've a huge investment in Workshop product and in time spent but while it is sad to see the official end of "The Old World" it will live on as, very likely, will its young successor at our table. I keep in mind that the hobby is what I make of it for me and my gaming circle and if we don't like a game... we'll modify it to suit us or move on to something that gives us a better experience.Swelterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16519522355028444705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1770432960287194152.post-1653633584512569342015-07-18T08:12:32.878+01:002015-07-18T08:12:32.878+01:00That's nuts.

From all indications, there is a TON of things on the way, and it's only the tip of the ice berg. Throwing fits because you don't like the few pages of a book is absurd. At least give it a decent read first!<br /><br />From a success standpoint though, it appears GW hit it out of the park with this one. Some of the major gaming stores have posted publicly that they have NEVER sold this well with a release in games workshops history.<br /><br />greggleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15528518337222880432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1770432960287194152.post-82480833076830127912015-07-10T13:58:47.332+01:002015-07-10T13:58:47.332+01:00agreed gareth, the old rules still function so use...agreed gareth, the old rules still function so use em.<br /><br />anonymous have never said I like AOS, haven't played it and doesn't interest me as its fantasy, but his over reaction is crazy. why could he not see gareths point? as an ex epic, necro, bfg, inquisitor and mordheim player im used to getting screwed by these systems dying out but I either sold the models or kept playing with people who wanted to play so I don't get why he cant do that<br />Millesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01588250658653748977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1770432960287194152.post-86059044798406126262015-07-10T13:55:22.687+01:002015-07-10T13:55:22.687+01:00I understand his rage.

He has played for years - supported the hobby and GW with his time, money, and mentorship of new players - only to have GW tell him that he's not part of their customer base anymore and here are some really, really silly rules to take out the door with him as he goes.<br /><br />It's fine that you like AoS - but realize that it represents the death of what was once a flourishing hobby and rules-set, and some people aren't at all happy with that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1770432960287194152.post-17736243361217509572015-07-10T11:15:51.225+01:002015-07-10T11:15:51.225+01:00I think the guy has taken leave of his senses

GW are not forcing you to buy and play the new game.<br /><br />I would hate to see what reaction he would have to something that really mattered in life if he reacts to toy soldiers<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03250777211963548874noreply@blogger.com
