Wer spielt noch alles Warhammer Fantasy

[BioHolic]

Ich hätte auch viel mehr Lust zu weiterzumachen, wenn man mit der 8ten Edition nicht meine Komplette Armeeaufstellung verändert hätte. Ich hoffe auf die 9te dass sie mir nicht mehr so im Portmonee wehtut, indem ich mir alles neu kaufen müsste...

Antwort auf die Threadfrage: Vielleicht bald keiner mehr.
Mann, wäre das cool...


Warhammer is finished this year.

Greetings, Warlords.

Some time ago I said something was gonna happen to Warhammer in december. I've just been 'greenlighted' to make it public. Before anything else, I'd like to make this clear: IT'S A RUMOR, but it comes from a pretty trustworthy source.

Games Workshop's intent is to finish Warhammer as a game this december. Not only that, it seems they already have written the fluff to "describe" the end (they've already written it... will it be out in a White Dwarf? In a last supplement?). As I've been told, the "champion" is Nagash. So there won't be any Ninth Edition, and Bretonnia's armybook will probably be the last Warhammer book.

So yeah, it's the end for Warhammer.

It seems Warhammer doesn't make as much money as Warhammer 40.000 so they've decided to "go out with a bang". But (there's always a "but"), do you remember when we said White Dwarf was closing down? What happened in the end? White Dwarf was closed down and they got something similar out of their sleeve. It'll be the same with Warhammer, it seems there will be a new game out in January. Said game will take place in Warhammer's world but it won't be Warhammer, it'll be a skirmish game with round bases. Some factions will likely "die" and I guess some new ones will appear. Skirmishes on round bases? It seems Privateer and their Warmachine / Hordes have really overtaken Warhammer in the USA.

I know what you're thinking. This cannot be. My reaction was the same when I was told, and the source is trustworthy. I was told not to divulge it because this info was given in the farewell meeting of the branch offices, but it seems (Tyrion Lannister truestyle) each "country" was given different info. In example, it seems in Germany they were told Chaos was to win (I find Nagash more amusing) so I didn't spill the beans. The exact sentence I was told was "if things don't change a lot, there won't be a ninth Warhammer Fantasy edition, the game is over". And for the time being (while completely non-Alpha armies as Woodies or Bretonnia are being renewed) it seems it's gonna be that way. All this, of course, has to be taken with a grain of salt, as it's maybe just a "rumor" created to check people's response, maybe it's a big lie spread by Games Workshop just to see the overall reaction. We'll have to wait.

What will happen after Warhammer? I mean, there're some people who like to play battles, not skirmishes. Will it be Mantic's Kings of War the winner? Will Avatars manage to boost Warthrone as a real alternative? Will Gamezone release a "Hammer of War"? Or will people keep playing Warhammer, be it Eight or Sixth?

I know some people will furiously say I'm a hater and this won't happen and we're putting nails in a coffin without a dead body inside. Well, I've just passed on this rumor that was told to me. I'm making this clear: I DON'T WANT Warhammer to end, I would have loved to see a Ninth correcting the Eight's issues I dislike and I have too many stuff and miniatures I don't want to become part of a discontinued game. But nobody lives forever.

I insist: the rumors are these: Warhammer dies, Nagash wins. And, like a phoenix, we'll have a new fantasy game from Games Workshop next year. Time will tell.

na dann hoffen wir mal das es so kommt.

[MacGuffin]

Ich glaube da nicht so wirklich dran. GW hat es in den letzten Jahren darauf angelegt, den Spielern Einheiten anzudrehen, die größer sind, als ganze Skirmish-Systeme. Jetzt zu sagen "ihr braucht noch noch jedes fünfte Modell eurer Sammlung" wäre ne Hausnummer, die ich nicht mal denen zutraue.
Es gab ja auch Gerüchte, dass die Waldelfen nicht mehr fortgesetzt werden (und damit war nicht die Umbenennung in Wood Elves gemeint) und es stellte sich als als Ent(e) heraus.

Gegen das Einstellen von WH:F spricht irgendwie dieses neue Gerücht
