IMHO i don't think they will drop it
where else have they got to go
they've re released space hulk
done their own version of heroquest
revamped and dropped Blood Bowl
now only have 40k whfb and epic40k
unless it's back to the drawing board for
mighty empires or the like
then there's not many places left for
the warhammer world to go ...
