In all honesty, it makes sense. I'm sure when the company gets on more secure ground, there'll be new SG releases, but with low cash flow and profits, they would be shooting themselves in the foot by pushing at this. At least there's still the living rulebooks to keep the games alive, and most of the games have either models available or easily converted models to make up the forces.

I did just learn there's a warmaster araby army. That looks fun. :D

Whoa whoa whoa...they won't make more NEW (as in previously unreleased) models. They'll continue producing and selling the current line the foreseeable future.

Honestly, being a failure of trying to be an Inq player, I kinda thought this would happen. I mean it started with them dropping support with Inq and now everything else is losing almost all of its support. "sigh" they should of just done this to LOTR, SG were here first. :angry: :angry: :angry: (then again that would mean loss of more players and less money)

To be honest, I don't think that we (as in: the gaming community) will notice much in any changes regarding the support of the games itself. I mean, the LRB were kept up to date by the various rules committees, which meant that quite a few rulebooks/ supplements have been written or co-written by people who haven't been employed by Games Workshop.

So, I think that the rare breed called Specialist Gamers simply need to start looking for other companies that produces miniatures for those ranges... I mean, Urban Mammoth has some very nice models I could use for Necromunda. *grins*...

Hehe I know they are not going out of print yet, but that thing awoke my hoarding instincts.

Besides, I still have a HUGE bunch of outrider credit I need to spend so...

For some reason, I have had that hoarding instinct poking me for quite some time now...

Cause I am seriously so tempted to go after an Imperial Navy squadron for Aeronautica Imperialis. I mean, the possibility to make my own Epic scale airbase is just so, SO tempting. (Too bad I don't have a credit card, which means I've got to bug my dad about it). Seriously, Epic scale is just way too nice not to have.

*grins*... Not to mention the smaller amount of storage space it uses. :lol:

Can't you mailorder in a local Games Workshop store from the UK/ USA site then?

Or was that what you were talking about? :huh:

I suppose i'll have to do that then, the only problem is the only time i've ever bought soemthing fm the US i had to pay import tax on top of it...which made my order pretty expensive (it was some t-shirts from "thinkgeek" incase your wondering)

Well, assuming the Games Workshop stores there in New Zealand import their stock from the UK (just as they do in the Netherlands), I don't see what the problem would be if they'd take your order along with their own stuff that's shipped to Down Under... But, as I said earlier, just go to your local Games Workshop store and ask what your options are. I mean, what's the harm in it, right? :rolleyes:
