    The Heavy Hand of Games Workshop - IP Rights

    Is the IP change really as heavy handed as all content related is now removed?  Social media promotes the sky-is-falling feeling before anyone stops and thinks.  

    i'm also confused why people feel they owned some democratic right to something they pay for as a consumer product (internet included).  The democratic right you have is to not buy it.  

    It's not even a democratic right, simply of ownership.

    They want ownership of the content they created so someone can't just claim it and stop making a profit. But then come the realization they don't have ownership because that someone else is actually the owner of the content theirs is based on, and they can remove so the original content can still make a profit.

    Now that GW is making official paid video I get why they want to make clear they only support what they make. 

    I still have to see GW actually enforcing that by removing contents. 

    They were more than tolerant recently with fan animations, they even gave  some a  seal of approval to geature those on their  on subscription service. It is much more likely it will just be them  clearly not wanting legal accounability on fan films they don't approve.

    For Indomitus, they projected the initial run to last until Christmast. Being immediatly sold out was them really thinking a box this expensive will only be an impulse buy for a very small portion of their customers. 

    The Made to Order was really because they failed to make the product available as long as they projected. 

    Dominion may be had an overly adjusted number of copy.

    Or, apparently, that collection of FW sculpts they still sold last year for hundreds of $, a line started in 2016.

    ?

    Aren't the chorf from 2011 ? Or you mean the rules intead  of starting a line? Or something completly different ? 

    I am confused. Lot of things being told in parallel. i can't follow if it is not explicit

    They squatted the entire fantasy battle. We can go fractal and mention armies and specific units of what left and what stayed, what has been placeholder, but fundamentally aos isn't a different version of whfb. Aos isn't meant to support battle. 

    The idea of decades of miniatures collection being playable is great. But at the same time no one promised you that blister of metal dwarves you bought in 92 will be supported for games 30 years later by the same corporate entity.

    We don't have data to say it have sell poorly.

    We just know it hasn't ran out of stock a week before its release date.

    We don't know how much box has been made, how much as been sold so far and for how long the box is meant to stay on the shelves.

    Speculating why it has low sell is ridiculous at this point. It could as well be the first time simply didn't underestimate the demand for a box in years.

    I am probably going to pay for one month at some point. Probably not a year.
    The pricing is not as bad as I feared from GW. As a bundle the offer if regularly updated is probably good value. Kinda useless to speculate and whine about the app itself quality before it is released.

    Including Aos and 40k subscription should have been announced day one. Actually going to be the feature why people subscribe without immediately resigning.

    The free models are a nice touch. They are a good reason to get a subscription day one even so it is the time when there is going to the less content for your money. I don't care about assassins and Orruk, but maybe in a future year there is going to be a model that will make me want to subscribe yearly.

    No need to talk about the animation.

    I think the painting tutorials are a nice bonus honestly. Louise knows how to make a model pop. Games Workshop is already the standard for the painting tutorial format, they can make something much clearer than one guy with a fixed camera losing focus every 30 seconds. It was long due they make contents for not complete beginners. And there is not that much "advanced" tutorial without "and now take your airbrush". Never subscribed to Duncan Patreon, because I am not that interested in painting tutorials, but it is a nice part of a bundle.

    The vault is also fun. No need to go digging in dubious websites to find a scanned pdf from an outdated edition.

    The event part is kinda useless to me, I've never been to something bigger to a store anniversary to buy a model.

    Loremaster is meh. Their podcasts about why you should buy a faction are never good. But that's probably the cheap and easy ad content to produce so they just do it.

    What do you think guys, gw plans to reimagine sce with this so called reinforcement? Are all older models are about to be squated and irrelevant? I hope not. I think those all new models look amazing and I sure know, how I'm spending money in June, but I really hope we would get some updated warscrolls for older models. I would be really disappointed if gw wouldn't do anything with other chambers. It's been some time since my poor paladins and liberators got some love.

    I doubt any stormcast model will be "squatted". But new and less clunky Judicator and Liberators kits, sure. They don't need the rework space marines needed because the units were made when special weapons could be bought in blisters, so the new kit could have coherent weapons options accros the squad without wasting space on the sprues (like you need 3 box of a plastic devastator kit to have the same weapon on all but hellblasters and eradicators are simply all plasma and melta).

    What I wish is them making a stormhost with its own options. The obvious variety of what you can do is the fun part of space marines. I never really feel like Stormhosts can be "you guys" (the best they ever did was the Anvils of Heldenhammer WD piece).

    How are the kits?

    As usual for AoS, not a lot of options.

    For the archers, 10 poses, little options (a couple of extra heads), a few small accessories, the only real choice is building one as the squad leader or as a regular. Still 10 poses is relatively high and some paint tweak should gives the illusion of variety and hide most of the duplicate on a gaming table.

    For real variety you have to hack things, warcry has things that blend well with the hedonites but $$$ and time consuming.

    I have no grief for Kragnos being Destruction.

    But the new warscrolls of the "Chaotic Beasts" from Warcry not having the "Beasts of Chaos" keyword? how can they missed that? Why can't I have a fabulous Sphiranx? A Chaos Gargant is fine but not a Raptoryx or a Ogroid Myrmidon? I don't care if Slaves to Darkness can be an ally.

    I have been asking myself that for years now.

    True. They do seem to have become a bit better about that sort of thing recently. Most of Indomitus was repackaged for the ‘normal’ starter sets, with the exclusive minis appearing later in an admittedly wildly overpriced separate kit, so I don’t think we’re at risk of missing out on stuff entirely.

    The bundle is relatively cheap considering GW pricing for individual HQ characters and EtB (GW being overpriced in general is something else).

    Anyway if they do like for 9th ed of 40k with Elite/Veteran/Recruit sizes, I'd just get the smallest one with a rulebook and sell the extra minis. I will live not having the the Angel Stormcast.

    I agree that they should step away from some factions and return to Fyreslayers, Sylvaneth, Ironjawz etc but PLEASE, PRETTY PLEASE don't ever again merge any factions. It's basically a death sentence if we look at what happen to them. Take skaven. One of the most iconic Warhammer armies of all time. What did they receive after merging them? One model was it? What happened to Ironjawz? No new models. Cities? Ok, it's a bit different with them but it was one unit of witch hunters, correct? Basically dead in terms of new releases. If they do something similar let's say to Fyreslayers and all Dwarfs that's basically it. It should be called a crime against humanity. Develop factions on their OWN. It takes nothing more than goodwill. I can think of like 5 new sculpts for Ironjawz right away. Same with Fyreslayers. DON'T KILL CONCEPTS by merging them into armies with no real theme.

    Yeah sure because merging Moonclan, Spiderfang and Troggoth into Gloomspite Gitz was a death sentence for them too.

    Are BoC the only faction to get nothing out of BR?

    I’d still have preferred Kragnos to be BoC and Destruction gets a massive plastic Rogue Idol. Oh well!

    Blades of Khorne and Skaven also didn't got anything.

    And Hedonites, but you know, they had a full Battletome.
