Why there no games in the new warhammer setting?

Every company seeks constant growth in order to please their shareholders and lure in new investors. The old management, by making it impossible to simply revive Warhammer Fantasy, has essentially cut off a potential large source of said growth. Having three cash cows is better than having two.

holy cannoli

Because the new lore is crap and nobody is interested on it.
Don't insult the art of sucking big dick by comparing it to that turd.

>3 cash cows.

A bleeding line where a third of its content had storage costs outdo its revenue.

A cash cow.

Not who youre replying to, but sales of WH fantasy were in the toilet. The cost to entry was too high, and the people who played bought armies second hand. Citadel paints sold more than WH Fantasy. Cope.

because developers are grog central and will prefer virtue signalling about how they would choose whfb over aos instead of recognising aos as way better ground for gameplay

TODAY I WILL REMIND THEM OF THE SIMPLE TRUTH: AGE OF SIGMAR IS SHIT, First the rules, the game its self has no fucking balance, did not even have fucking POINTS for over two years... here, have some sample rules

Attached: Thisisreal.png (1100x900, 493K)

not true especially for GW where they have limited resources for moulds and design. Two healthy cash cows is better than three by a long mile, and fantasy isn't healthy as proven by it's current decline.

I'm not talking about the past, but about the situation right now, where Warhammer Fantasy, thanks to video games, has gained a second life. If anything, a new line of novels could sell very well, the living proof of which is the fact that Black Library is re-releasing them constantly. If they didn't sell, they wouldn't do it.
However, thanks to the fuck up that was The End Times, you literally cannot touch that universe again, no matter the product, outside of games.

Second, the setting, here tell me if this picture is from age of sigmar or warhammer 40k? Should about say everything I need to say about the setting

>two years.

Eleven months user.

>ITT: Yea Forums thinks it prefers WHFB over AoS, despite lacking the patience to build and paint models for either system

I'm not talking about the tabletop game, but rather the novels, RPG game etc., which sold very well (the Gotrek and Felix series were literally their best selling novels). If AoS was simply a separate universe, which is very easy to do thanks to Warp fuckery, you'd still have that area of revenue open. Instead the devs, authors etc. are stuck in the same time period.

And last point, here just look at Warhammer fantasy (soul) Vs Age of sigmar's maps (souless) and then ask again, why are there no age of sigmar games? (Besides phone shit)

You ever grog so hard you write a """""witty"""" blogpost on the wrong board on Yea Forums?

now I can just imagine a bunch of fat retards sitting in a cramped GW store shouting and pretending to ride on horses to get rerolls. God that sounds hilarious.

No, fool, the point is that all three universes could easily co-exist. There was no reason to kill off Warhammer Fantasy. The management at the time could've simply discontinued the tabletop game, while allowing the novels, comics etc. (which, I repeat, sold and are still selling really well), to continue being produced.

nice map that doesn't exist anymore and I mean both of them.
Dumb vermin.

Because it's a piece of shit and no one wants to make one.

Attached: 1525656884073.jpg (344x474, 90K)

That CANNOT be fucking real.

you're several years behind the times dude.

AoS is way more popular than Fantasy when it died. The lore was totally fucked by the initial management, and I dunno how long it'll take for them to make an interesting setting out of the game, but the actual game itself and the models are better than ever.

>and now the new management is rather angry about the situation they're in.

AoS is a huge financial success though. Far more popular than Warhammer Fantasy ever was.

Read more than one post, please. I'm not talking about the tabletop game. You could've discontinued Warhammer Fantasy Battle without killing off the franchise. Burning bridges is never a good idea.

It's very real, they even got sequels.
The actual book contents, other than the art style, are pretty much regular Warhammer stories with slightly luckier than normal main characters. In the first 40k book, the space marines even lose a planet to pissed off necrons, with people still on it.

seething vermin out of arguments.
WHFB was a shit game with bloat of rules and I don't miss it.
Get lost Total War secondaries, you don't even own models.

Once again: burning bridges is never a good idea. A product sells poorly? Discontinue it, not kill it off along with the branches that sold well (novels, comics, etc.)

How come the video games, lore, and painting figures is more fun than the actual board game itself?

I mean, the game IS the franchise.

GW don't make money out of people reading wiki lore pages. I don't even know what it is people like you think you want from Warhammer.

Someone go and firebomb GW offices already.
Clearly they're beyond all hope

That is why they do not sale whfb novels.

Oh wait, they never stopped!

No one's arguing about the game rules dude
It's the setting and artistic design that is garbage
not happy with my opinion? find yourself a good rope and a nice branch and do the deed

They got rid of the one thing that was holding them back, Tom Kirby, in 2015. The new guy couldn't stop AoS, but he sure did manage to salvage it.

Shhh

No tears now, only leftism

why would they? Do you like book burnings?

AoS uses the same model range Warhammer Fantasy uses has a medieval fantasy setting, they would have been competing directly against each other, and cannibalizing each others sales. It would be completely idiotic to support both at the same time.

It's getting better after Kirby got fucked and you can't deny that unless you don't even follow it.

Well I already said they don't even own models, they screech because they just got to know the game via Total War and think the not-Europe is the best thing since sliced bread.

Why are secondaries such absolute cancer?

They are adapting Warhammer Underworlds. But considering how shit the new setting is, that it won't be good even after 30 years of lore and more, it won't have a lot of people playing it.

who plays age of sigmar???

It reminds me of that chart someone made about fanbases on Yea Forums.

Except Yea Forums are the ones being loud idiots who don't know what the original group wants.

40k is doing well

aos is dead

people

The New setting already has factions with more soul and flavour than WHFB ever did mate.

Stormcast have more room for character than the Empire did because the Empire was pretty one dimensional as a group and only got more one dimensional as time went on.

Yea Forumserming doesn't care about rules and models because they don't own them, they just screech like brainlets they are.

Considering some of the more popular armies are newer ones.

I'd say AoS.

Most of the sales from GW come from the new kits. And guess what they are labelled and aimed as?

oh you mean like the new night goblin army? or the new skaven? or the new vamps?

their base troops are wfb.

Seething

The setting is total trash, and the incoming games look like shit.

I didn't say AOS as a whole was trash you sub 80-IQ GW shill. the rules and the way the game is played is good, but the lore is complete fucking trash

they both look like shit

>Their base troops are wfb

And it's a good thing those are not the kits that are selling dramatically.

Meanwhile the Stormcast, Fyreslayers, Khorne,Nurgle and Idoneth are all probably the most popular and are an almost hyper majority new models.

>skaven and FEC's WHFB era stuff.
>new kits

Can you read, user? Do you understand what a unit kit is?

You realize that you're precisely the type of retard that kills a community right? No one wants to play anything with you, you insufferable cunt. I'll let this thread, and you, to rot.

Sure Ben, did you get angry at some counter-shitposts in /AoSg/ again?

First edition the lore was pretty nothing. Hardly any maps, minimal explanation of how the world even worked.

Starting with second edition it seems like Kelly got put in charge of the lore based off of a video at the start of it. They bothered explaining how the realms worked, how the gods fit in and gave the factions actual depth.

Auditioning for captain of the titanic?

The setting is trash and that card game is trash

The only good setting is Blood Bowl

I play Snakebites, so yeah, Blue Overalls and brown shirts for Da Boyz.

I know clothing is the biggest part of the Ork, I am just a lazy shit.

This is something that people forget but many of the second ed maps were something that did crop up in late 1st ed.

Sure, bar a few gems, the early 1st ed was a mess of corner cutting and managerial micromanagement, but there were plenty of ideas that would be developed latter. The realm's ending was first shown in battletome: Ironjawz. The exact look of those things was kind of elaborated in Pantheon (and those two are 2016).

Now, did those get decent page count? No, because they had plenty of constraints.

He explained on twitter he used metallic bases and everything else is contrasts that took him about 2 hours.

The contrasts are really good for clothing.

To be fair, literally every single Bretonnia player I met in WHFB was an insufferable faggot with horrible minis.

As someone who worked in a hobby store for 3 years, most WHFB players were insufferable faggots, but Bret players were usually THE WORST

I'm half convinced TK will get a rerelease sometime soon.

But interviews with the Dev Team pretty much show Bretonnia was a design dead end even in WHFB.

You can still play fantasy, thats your best bet

What is sad we have had glimpses of a reworked Bretonnia design document with art by Blanche that showed turning Bretonnia into high fantasy Arthurian Legend with shit like questing beast knights and flying galleons.

Which I am convinced would have led to an outcry from Bret players due to their inability to like fantasy.

That sounds like the typical kind of thing that gets reworked into its own army, leading to something completely different

In other words, Stormcast probably started as a Bretonnia rework.

No bully

Bruh, those are some solid looking Smurfs, you managed to make the plasma on the Hellblasters not look like a travesty

And then they went "Wait, super knights on more exotic beasts? We can do more with that if we lose the Bretonnia angle"
That is exactly how this kind of thing drifts in early concept development. Read any "Art of [series]" book, there's a really rapid iteration process where MAJOR details change early on.

GW design teams are actually extremely rigid in their conceptual design.

You should try to look up the Dark Eldar Redesign, it's pretty neat.

I wanted to move from my old Druchii army to a Drukhari one in 40k. I stopped after reading the cringe inducing lore of them 40k. People said that DElf players are edgy but compared to the edgetown of 40k there is just no comparison. Why couldn't GW just leave in a DE splinter faction in AoS and add more models instead of combining HE and DE into one.

Because they want AoS to be different from the "default" fantasy setting, so they moved away from the D&D-style "High, dark and wood elf" setup.

Now we have urban elfs (A soup of old elf factions), nomad elfs (Old wood elves), plant elfs, murder elfs and sea elfs.

The fact that they managed to salvage the attempted squatting into a bit of a "Slaanesh is missing, where did he go?" narrative that tied into the new elf lore was pretty good.

simply give as the one instance needed of the "impactful and lasting narrative" you so obviously must know of, seeing as you immediately jump over the disproval step, straight to ridicule, because it is easy, I presume.

>if you have any form of inference you would see it as such.

Here, on Yea Forums of all places. Christ, you truly are retarded. These forums are the last place where that assumption would hold any kind of scrutiny.

Slaanesh's story arc.

There’s nothing stopping them from reviving it. Their big problem is the table top models look like hot over-designed shit

Heres some of the Tzeench stuff from Silver Tower.
I plan on having a selection of units from all 4 Chaos Gods by the end of the year

Hasn't it gone through basically another retcon?

Time skip, but no.

The muscle dudes look rad

They time skipped a few centuries after the Realmgate Wars storyline was done.

Which was almost entirely a good thing, since the Realmgate Wars version of the setting was fucked over by Chaos, with basically no permanent settlement of any area. In the current time, there's actual cities and shit, even some neat cross-realm trading going on where the people from the realm of Life export food and the realm of Fire exports industrial goods and such.

>Could have stopped aos.

Kirby retired as CEO in junary 2015. It takes 6 months to ship the finihsed product lines across the world. He really couldn't have stopped it.

Also.

>new guy.

Rountree was part of the board for the better part of a decade.

Tell me how do you make a videogame around that in a setting that's comprised of infinite planes or infinite land where no victory nor defeat actually affect the overall setting at all. Even with Warhammer 40k you can invent some planet and make it about the fight for it of several factions. In Age of Sigmar, it's just fighting all the time for everything, and no matter who wins or loses, next day it'll start again.

Slaanesh's story arc isn't something you can make a videogame about. There are no armies fighting to accomplish a goal or anything, it's literally just "yeah, Slaanesh got kinda fucked by the end of the world, but now he's back".

>infinity planes.

The realms are not, nor have ever been, infinite.

The realmspheres have a clear limit, to begin with. Then we get into the fact that the livable parts are but a fairly small fraction of said limited discworlds.

>slaanesh got kinda fucked by the end of the world but now he's back.

That's not slaanesh's arc. Like, not at all.

>infinite planes or infinite land
This meme needs to die. There are eight realms, and each of them has finite size. There's an edge, and long before you get to that edge you get fucked by the realm's magic. They're just really big. And guess what they do when they want to do a ground-level story? Invent some small territory and have various factions fight for it.

Mammon mindset: every company exists to make money to appease shareholders and lure in investors. All businesses are a strictly utilitarian means to the end of making cash. No company exists for the sake of making its honest-to-god actual product.

You're still right about how Games Workshop's soulless thinking works and how they shot themselves in the foot with AoS and WFB, but holy cow.

S/he was imprisoned and now has escaped, how is that not the arc?
