Well, in fairness WHFB died for a reason. I think the days of individual models in huge blocks of infantry taking ages to set up for a game and longer to paint, not to mention costing more with the sheer number of minis compared to skirmish games from warband to platoon level and up put the last coffin in games like this.

I think kings of war only works because you can get away with a single unit on a footprint base and make a diorama out of it.

Lets face it, 9th age is supposed to be 9th edition WHFB in spirit, and the game died. Its a necromancy job at best and aside from people who were diehard Warhammer Fantasy fans, its drawing on a very niche market.
