Article Predictions. Mostly General Discussion. But there's definately some Predictions scattered throughout.

By Drasnighta, in Star Wars: Armada

Daht's daht Daht. Gonna need a new avatar.

Daht's daht Daht. Gonna need a new avatar.

I suggest a red A-wing.

I can't find the fighters in the avatar area!!!!

That's because they were removed previously.

If you had them, you kept them, but no-one could switch to them.

I assume it'll be the same for the GW Avatars, come the 28th of Feb.

FFG: Hey, lets make the Runewars!

GW: Don't make the Runewars.

FFG: Hey everyone, we're making the Runewars!

GW: https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/news/2016/9/9/a-new-path-forward/

I don't know. My take on it:

FFG: Well GW, our license is almost up. We're both doing well here; lets...

GW: Give us more money.

FFG: We're both doing alright here, why rock...

GW: We want more money!

FFG: Look, you are already making out better than you deserve. You don't even do anything! We design the games, produce them, get them to market. All you do is sit on the license and rake in cash.

GW: GIVE US MORE MONEY!

FFG: Look, we are the one bright spot in your business. You have alienated most of your fan base. Squeezed them for money. Churned out substandard crap. For once we've given them quality product...

GW: GRABLE USMOOR UNEEEY!!!!

FFG: Well then. I believe we are done here. May we suggest what should be done to both you and the horse you rode in on?

Why did they remove them?

Edit, as a question to Dras, forgot to quote

Edited by ianediger

Why did they remove them?

Its never been stated.

The reason is more nebulous than why they removed the Painting Sub-Forum for a time.

But essentially, all of the Star Wars Related Avatars - with the exception of the RPG Based ones - Simply disappeared one day.

I used to have an Imperial Symbol... Changed away for a time, then suddenly, one day, found I couldn't change back - and there's never been an announcement as to why.

boy, the time I spent to find out where all those fighter avatars come from...

Grandfathered in! Woohoo!

I will have tears of there is no article today.

I shall never abandon my blood bowl orc.

As for "real" reasons, when GW management shook up they most likely wanted control back, as they have been re-releasing specialist games (Blood Bowl coming this year yay!).. and didn't want to be competing with FFG on products using their IP. FFG picked up all the GW stuff when GW decided they were above petty gaming outside of re-issuing warhammer games.

Grandfathered in! Woohoo!

Amen, I shall never change now!

We've all heard it but its true, they're are only two good days in a GW gamers life; when he buys his army and when he sells it.

At what point do we give up reasonable hope on the day?

Untrue...I have 3 WHF armies just sitting around waiting for someone to play 8th ed. or 9th Age with me. I have hope! I sold my others, but Lizards, Wood Elves, and Beastmen are mine forever!!!!!

When night falls and the wind whispers in my ear that hope is lost, as the firelight flickers and the shadows dance about me. Only then shall I despair.

Or like, 5, I guess?

Wait until 6 central.

They can drop a few minutes after 5pm central.

I mean, unless you like Arkham Horror.

Then you're sold righ tnow.

Sold.

#$%&@!!!

I think that sinks our dreams of the day

I cam make a fake article.

"How to kill your opponent and thus win at Armada. A three step process by GrandMoffMatt."

Is this kill his ships or him? Cause I have one of those down, but I am really struggling with my use of squadrons.
