Because if it is the latest here is the real proof about the game shutting down. I said the other day that Underworlds is not a basic product anymore for LGS. Also with the LVO absence, it is really hard to defendí that the game is not in their last months of life 1 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acrozatarim Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 How long has UW been around for now, anyway? 5 years or so? That's not a bad lifespan for a side game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it is a shame because it was a super cool field for miniature sculpt testing. Hopefully we get another AoS side game instead. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrac Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 Ummmm ok, its true that there might be another season. But personally Im only able to see a skaven band for a spetial ocasion, such as what a new warcry edition would bring. The Underworlds thing is worrying, sad to see everything just going to Legends. I hope some of the bands, like the Plaguepack, get recycled for 4th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s seven years now with 54 warbands so far. I really hope this isn’t the end. I’d rather see scaled back support rather than completely dropping the game. Two core boxes and 8 warbands a year always felt like a lot. I’m a fan of the game and I couldn’t remotely keep up with the pace of releases. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neverchosen Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 (edited) I still wish that Underworlds and Warcry were used to provide opportunities to add regiments of renown to grand alliances, while also promoting these smaller scale games. It might be hard to justify using an undersized unit of Ironjawz in your Orruk army but they might find some great use in a Moonclan army or a Son's army. Similarly Stormcast are spoilt for choice, but Daughters of Kane might enjoy having an armoured wizard adventurer on their side. Similarly Corvus Cabal from Warcry would have made great allies for Maggotkin as a fast unit of objective grabbers that would tie in aesthetically with the army. I can admit it would actually encourage me to branch out and try these games if I knew I could add some diversity to my armies. Like I would love to add the Deathgorge minis to my Chaos and order armies as I love Slaanesh and Idoneth but I am daunted to make an army of either but would love to make a unit or two and be able to play them in AOS.

If it is the end of it Full Stop, I personally would like them to do a MTO run of the warbands because some never got an independent release and would love to have them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starfyre Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 Depends on how well it sold and it's profitability most likely. There's a lot of card and paper in it which is expensive, and then there is the tooling and development cost, so perhaps it's been diverted to other things. I get the appeal but never 'got' the game personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GloomkingWortwazi Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 I've since my last UW post in the thread sold about 80% of my UW collection. I'm fine with it going to the long sleep - but only if we get something great in it's place. *loud narrative skirmish coughing* 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems all armies are getting warbands, so with that logic in mind, Skavens should get one before the end of the edition. if they don't, it could mean they are one of the opening factions for the new edition, as you said.

Looking at the store: SCE CoS LRL Sylvaneth DoK Fyreslayers Seraphon S2D BK DoT Nurgle SBGL OBR NH FEC KB Ogors I could be missing some, but that would leave us: Idoneth KO HoS Skaven IJ GSG SoB The list seems more or less around the size (7 remaining) for the rest of the edition to be fulfilled. *If the list is not correct, please, someone update it.

I was talking generally about interest, product availability, views on videos, general interest in lore etc. not scientific by any means or thorough by any means. It's just speculation on my part. There probably is some marketing spreadsheet of the breakdown of sales between AOS and OW, this past year and market predictions of future interest, but I doubt that will ever be public. Its also worth mentioning that Old World is still in it's early stages as we only have 4 factions available to buy right now, and we haven't even got near campaign books or expansions yet. AOS in it's early days had a much smaller player base then it does now, so it would make sense for OW to follow those trends. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
