      I think they were worried it wasn't going to sell and that's fair. I'd be worried too but now is the time for them to action stuff and get the armies out! I want some god damn Sea Guard, and Chaos Knights... and Forsaken... I just want it all lol

      Yup i hate the idea fantasy just end, dead, ghone, for aos cause whatever reason they got forced to do it back then. Tho gotrek and felix ending works but wouldn’t be angry for the timeline they survived in the old world. To me i Got into fantasy hard but realized its basically dead, ended. So feels ur stuck or just forced to go back in time but i want it to continue.

    I wonder if the new players (like me), are staying away from Games Workshop stores is because everytime we ask about The Old World or Fantasy the sales people always try to shit on fantasy and attempt to redirect to Age of Sigmar. That may just be my experiences though, it has happened a few times at a few different stores.

    Who in good faith can claim it's selling poorly?

That's an anecdote obviously but the fact that I haven't seen Battle Pilgrims in stock at all since launch tells me either they're making one a month or it's selling like mad.

    • @Milkisthesolution
      @Milkisthesolution 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Some FLGS have said that TOW isn't shifting (beyond what they expect), the rest seems to be people looking at online stores and seeing what isn't sold out (which is currently most of the TOW range), or by the stores in their area (nobody is playing/no events/no beginners night/boxes sitting on shelves).
      It's going to be area dependant, and it's daft because you can point to *any* range and say it's a poor seller because it's not in a permanent "temporarily out of stock" state across the board.

    • @stephenjenkins7971
      @stephenjenkins7971 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      You're talking about the stock in the Warhammer website, but its a different story in LGS' that sell the stock and which are the real moneymakers. Its mixed, from what I can tell. That being said, TOW definitely sold well enough that it justifies its existence to be sure.

    • @ilovecokeslurpees
      @ilovecokeslurpees 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      ​@stephenjenkins7971 the big issue is that the sales reps from GW have not pushed it at all. They are busy shoving 40K and especially AoS down third parties' throats. Most stores bought a few boxes, shoved them down to the bottom shelf of their stores, and never promoted at all. Then they complain it didn't sell. Well of course it didn't sell in those stores; these games need some level of commitment.

  • @spnked9516
    @spnked9516 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +11

    The good news - TOW is selling well.
    The bad news - people in the hobby continue to tolerate GWs price gouging across all their properties.
    I don't know how I feel about this. I'd like (proper) Fantasy Warhammer to have a resurgence, but I also feel like it's a hair's breadth away from a second collapse due to asking price for kits being on the absolute upper end of what people are willing to pay. With people willing gulping down modern GW prices, it will likely signal to management that more price hikes are a-okay.
    PS: the Amazon Fallout show was absolutely terrible from a writing standpoint. The script is amateurish, at best, and basically relies on it's key jangling aesthetics and the performance of one or two good actors to distract viewers from its catastrophic writing and character work.

    On an optimistic note for the Old (Reiks)Guard:
    GW is offering Warhammer Fantasy as their second major IP to bring to series and the big screen. They have also reported much better sales of Old World than they expected (despite rumored internal sabotage), and Warhammer Total War is still a success, despite the poor start of the third installment.
    Add to this the leaks about poor sales of the new edition of AOS starter set, the failure of its video games, and the clamor among fans to be allowed to use AOS miniatures in Old World that are upgrades of classic WFB units... what I see clearly in the Emperor's Tarot is that in the long term AOS will periodically take a backseat and OW will take its place. Mark my words.
    If AOS is as good a setting as many people say... why hasn't GW sold the rights to Amazon? On paper it would be a very attractive offer, because AOS is a multiverse very close to American fantasy, much more similar to modern D&D than any other GW setting. In addition, it is a much more open and diverse setting that would give creative freedom to Amazon to do whatever they wanted. Maybe the answer is that while it can be a fun game (I don't deny that), as a setting it is not as attractive as Fantasy, Heresy and 40k... And after almost a decade of life, the fact that it hasn't been around for long is not an excuse anymore.
