Tell me when I can get a new copy of Warhammer Quest and you've got my money.

I fucking love that game.

at least I can bring my 2nd edition Talisman box with all the expansions to a game store without worrying about getting mugged....

Hopefully they'll be doing what they did with the other fanatic games, , make a physical book available to buy, but also put it up for free on the internet.

why a book, it's a board game from hell....

to be exact a board game with a zillion expansions (I have dungeon, City, Advanced, Warpstorm, etc.)

My cousin used to have that game. I envied it for him then, and will gladly spend the money so he can envy me for it now.

My gaming group was quite pleased to hear the news.

I just realized something bad though...

GW is now manufacturing "Heroclix" style bases. now your standard character attributes are between 1-9, however in any game of Talisman, we used to get double digit stats after a couple of hours....

tell me that under the new rules I won't be able to powerlevel talisman?

From my own gaming sources (aka the manager of the local hobby store), GW is worknig through its back catalogue, so expect others to come out this year.

This is also on the back of a profits warning form them, which came as no surprise at all in the City.

So how many of these games would you like?

I bet there's some nostalgia there

Necromunda is being supported by Specialist Games. Check out their website, they've got everything you need.

The slow burn seems to be Warhammer Ancient Battles, which Black Library has now brought at least a dozen supplements, and it's seeing a lot of tournaments, to the extent Nottingham HQ hosts WAB competitions. I do wonder if this is because of the relatively simpleton rules, or the fact it does not rely on WYSIWYG and completely tied in with their own figures.

More likely the fact that they can't sell you little toy soldiers.

I hope they bring back necromunda.

You could check out Infinity. Same squad level, cover heavy combat as Necromunda. (probably needs more scenery though, You really neeed cover in that game)
