Discuss Fantasy football-style board games - GW's Blood Bowl, Impact!'s Elfball, Privateer Press' Grind, Heresy's Deathball, etc. THIS IS NOT AN NFL FANTASY FOOTBALL SITE!
Currently an ex-Blood Bowl coach, most likely to be found dying to Armoured Skeletons in the frozen ruins of Felstad, or bleeding into the arena sands of Rome or burning rubber for Mars' entertainment.
Sigh, gotta love the way Forge World has carte blanche to create giant impractical pieces that (while they are impressive to look at) aren't ever going to shift in massive quantities. While BB stuff turns up once every blue moon.
It's pointless complaining, nothings going to change any time soon. But I feel better.
Oh and If I want a little fat man in my house, I'll get a Budda.

i asked a Forge World guy at saulte if they would make any BB pieces and he said that the only piece they would even think about doing is a dug out, but that was in 2004, when GW were making bits for BB, ask them now and they would prob say whats Blood Bowl

I asked one of them about making BB stuff at Games Day last Sunday. He did know what BB was, but felt that whatever they could make would be ridiculously expensive (i.e. a pitch would cost more than the BB boxed set) and so just wouldn't sell enough to justify making it. He also said that the people who would want this sort of thing were making the stuff themselves already so what's the point in Forgeworld doing it.

What's the point ? Bah if they were making it, people wouldn't have to create everything themselves. Today, we can make our own mini, pitch, rules... But why ? Because nothing was done for so long.

Wow, I didn't know they took that into consideration. The models they are selling now for $100-$200, that are barely useable in games must sell like hot cakes.
because there are more rich people into 40K that are happy to spend obsene amounts of money for a WOW figure. They have the sales records, I'm sure they are aware of what sells and what doesn't
