Hi

I suppose it will depend on sales, but I don't know if GW got the results they wanted from Epic.
As I understand it, GW is a bussiness and its purpose it's making the most money they can (which, from my point of view, is logical) so they know if they are interested about it. I imagine that WH and WH40k make them richer than Epic, so normally they would put their efforts in those lines.

Perhaps Epic works best for them as a secondary (or better, specialised) product than a generic, all audiences (=kids) product.

  Hi!

  I have followed the efforts of Fanatic Press since the get go and have
  seen how their support has evolved by putting out a fairly regular
  publication and at least in the UK all the plastic sprues are
  available at a decent price and suposedly in the summer we'll se that
  in the US mail order too.

  As I thought this over does Fanatic taking over epic mean we will
  never see a TRUELY supported epic game by the GW mainstream? Does it
  pretty much mean all we will ever get is a "trickle" of support from
  Fanatic? Will they ever have the guts to produce all new rules for the
  game? Or is it doomed forever to be a "sideshow" game with little real
  support? Will they ever really release a steady stream of new epic
  miniatures? Of course we all know they talk-the-talk, but do they
  walk-the-walk?

  Since there are members here from all around the globe, what is your
  take on this?

  Peter
