"More Dreadfleet?" Topic

I don't actually hate them, that would require me to care about their fate…

never heard of it.

The "No, I hate GW" option was tempting.

I said re-release M-o-W, a rather silly game with godawful ugly minis, that I owned tons of. I hope Norman Swales is sullenly flipping burgers right now.

But if they were gonna re-release it, they'd have done it to begin with. Whatever mad witchdoctor they have consulted for marketing advice the last ten years said to stick with the big two line, and anything else has to be a one-off.

How's that working out?

Other. Hate GW, but like the minis in Dreadfleet and have had no problem picking up the dregs that players cast off for cheap, so yes, make all you want … I'll keep scrounging around the bilge!

And I don't hate GW. I just don't play their games a lot.

I Hate GW is the only option.

Oh and if you want more Dreadfleet go out and get Man O War.

You will have to pay through the nose since GW stop supporting it two decades ago.

But they're ALL "charater models"- how many would you even want? I have a DF box I piked up at con for $20 USD (how could I resist that?). If they ever bothered to make ships-of-the-line, I might drag it back out.

GW could do wonders with the ships now. Hell, if they'd used Blanche's contemporary designs, they would have rocked. But GW was rockin' that boringass minimalist look 2e Epic had. Everything looked like it was made out of Duplo. The Empire Greatship was the worst! Had that guy ever even seen a pic of a carrack? It looked like a boxcar with masts.

So, GW could relaunch it, with a minimal # of SKU's, and they'd be guaranteed no one would want to proxy the old minis. Only Spartan makes anything like them, and they're twice the size of MoW ships.

Would never trust em and buy into it. Got caught in the catch and release era of the 90's. Still have warmaster, BFG, necro, and mordheim armies.

GW lost all credability with me a long time ago.

Yeah, but I cut 'em and and convert 'em and such, so I can get a lot of milage out of 'em. I have a number of aetherships around in a box somewheres, complete with a warpsquid eating one.

Shadowcat, I share your feelings, luckily for me we've just started a Necromunda campaign at our club. It's good to get some more use out of some really good figures.
