More Dark Heresy miniatures
jesus and the god emperor playing checkers...your like a private investigator for the inquisition against the ecclarisy...lol
im really gettin miffed...what is BI up to......
Given that BI hasn't existed for a good gew months now, they're probably not up to much at all
I have to admit I saw the pics on dakkadakka, who saw them on another site.
Is FFG allowed to push out miniatures or license someone to do so for the game?
I dobut it, but we'll never see a GW line for the RPG, I don't feel like blowing a large wad of money on Inquisitor figs which wouldn't fit on my battlemat anyway, and I haven't seen any 3rd party figs that really scream "INQUISITOR" for me.
A few GW figs would work, but I don't feel like buying a 30 dollar squad of figs for one dude for the guy who's playing the assassian or whatever.
I'm thinking more and more that its going to be some kind of DH-based skirmish game released by Games Workshop. Something like Space Hulk, but with acolytes and some other beasties from DH. Perhaps its built to sell DH miniatures and recruit new players for the RPG. It might play something like 'Inquisitor' (which, in some ways, is the original template for DH)
FFG and GW seem to be cozying up to each other. Perhaps GW is regretting the absolutely bone-headed idea of selling off Dark Heresy to begin with (given how successful its been).

If I'd worked for BI, I'd be laughing my ass off about this. They make DH, a great game, and the best their GW masters can now do is produce a sawn-off version of their game...to sell more minis.
Does anybody else think that GW genuinely seems to be incapable of innovating any more? The name of the game seems to be re-heat, re-serve, regurgitate, repeat.
GW have some fantastic IP (intellectual property) built up by its employees over the years, but rather than support DH when the economy started to go belly up they ditched it and sold off the licence. They slowly grasp that it was actually a real moneyspinner, (and that it engaged players like nothing GW has produced in the past 10 years has) so now they're looking to find a way to sell the concept to 10 year olds. That involves more minis.
Makes me tetchy.
To be honest though, I don't know why it does, I should stop being so silly. As long as DH and Rogue Trader continue to receive support, the creation of some "junior DH" is really no skin off my nose.
Indeed. If that is, in fact, what these mysterious photos represent; then we should be happy for the support. The help and support of the Games Workshop stands only to help grow DH as a hobby and ensure that FFG gets to continue publishing the I.P. Furthermore, if they actually sell copies in the store, the hobby might get some new blood (presumably FFG's goal with 3rd ed. WFR) as the games workshop's stores are always crawling with squalling dork-spawn who have a better chance than most kids of being ensnared by a warhammer RPG, 40k or otherwise.
My Players use 2.5mm round based models to reperesnt them and the fit on a battlemat, and for enemies i have bases with numbers on them, until i can find sutible models
