To be fair, AoS has some really cool miniatures, ie all of those Khorne Bloodbound.

It's a step in the right direction, altough I'm not sure the Corpse God can turn things around anymore. Might be too little too late.

I'm looking forward to a rebooted Lord of the Rings lineup. That system always seemed to me like the direction to go if people didn't wantto continue playing ranked block fantasy battles.

AoS will always be heresy.

And since absolutely everybody loves a good heresy, it's excellent marketing.

Just because its excellent marketing doesn't mean its good marketing. It makes it look like they realized they fucked up and now they're trying to fix it... A bit too little too late IMO.

Good marketing is silver, excellent marketing is gold. Making nerd rage profitable is the name of the game, and Games Workshop is the ultimate hardcore gamer.

AoS will apparently get a global campaign, Storm of Chaos style. Own website with "living" map, results incorporated in the next book, etc.

AoS is apparently outselling 40k in some areas as well.

So much heresy! The bit about the lack of map and stuff was the biggest put off for me about AoS. I like a little map porn.

Yeah, I love maps myself as well. Map will be of the campaign's area, I guess, what with AoS having multiple "realms"/dimensions.

I played tree first few hours so far. It makes you actually feel like tree admiral of a mighty battlefleet. I wish there were mods for it, I'd love both new fleets and complete overhauls like Starcraft or Star Wars.

I would rather pushed for prequels, that meaning either WH30k: The Great Crusade

or Rise of Terra (playing as Thunder Warrior).

Games Workshop has been very lucky for many, many years. Sooner or later they are going to pay the price for their unnatural longevity.
