The problem with bloodbowl is that GW will not make as much money on it as =
with WarhammerFB/40k/Epic. Why?, you ask, well how many models do you buy f=
or bloodbowl to make a team (about 16?). How many do you buy for Warhammer =
(100 to 200.) Sure there are some people that will buy enormous ammounts of=
Bloodbowl figs, but they are far outnumbered by the table top players. Rem=
ember GW is not there to make you happy, they are there to make MONEY. If a=
line of product does not do that or does not have the future potential to =
do that then it's terminated.

stacks of cash apothec=
ary ff of 12 etc etc )
but it's not really got anywhere else to go
who out =
there who plays BloodBowl
1. regularly buys WD ?
2. buys the CJournal ?
CJ =
was the only place there were any "additions" to Blood Bowl
What say GW pub=
lish the CJ articles in a WD BB special ?
maybe they could even make a huma=
n boxed team so human
coaches can expand their squad with differnt models i=
n different poses
and don't tell me that Epic 2nd ed isn't dead in the wa=
ter
you really believe they'll start selling 2nd ed bases and boxed sets
