Well, if GW keeps their longtime design path of:

1) Release a deeply flawed product - ie original Blood Bowl and Space
Crusade
2) Or release a simple stripped down version of the game (Warmaster)

You can expect they will publish endless supplements that may or may not be
"good" for the game (ie the first Space Hulk was a good game. The first
supplement was GREAT - the second kind of mired the game down.)

And it will use all new minis. Because new supplements + new figures = GW
revenue

And GW is definitely in business to make a profit.

I can say if they go with 10mm figs, I have hundred of dollars and hours
invested already, and I would not participate.

Keep up the good work,
Mike
