So I guess this marks the end of GW and FFG working together

It’s been rumoured that the agreement is over for a weeks now. This would be a good explanation as to why.

It would seem that way as well. I would not be surprised to see the GW RPGs (if they continue) to move over to Modiphius. I wonder what will happen to 40k conquest and Warhammer Quest ACG?

Yes, although if they’re still making money from each other why stop?

See – Apple suing the hell out of Samsung constantly, yet fundamental components of the iPhone chipsets being made by Samsung.

You do sometimes get these kinds of painful competition/benefit symbiosis between companies.

It would seem so. This is big news, I’d say. If FFG can transfer the best elements of board gaming onto the tabletop we could see something slick and playable…just like X-Wing.

I wonder what the models are made from. Some wonky weapons suggest these might not be hard plastic. Totally speculating, though.

They are not PVC but he was not sure exactly what it was.

Anyone know if the runebound minis will be pre-painted and if not, will they be one piece?

They will not be preprinted and come in 2-3 pieces to assemble.

@lordbob – The press release / news page on their website specifically says they’re not pre-paints and that while it’s fine to use unpainted miniatures, one of the features of the game is painting and personalising your army.

Agreed, Ben. He was so nice to talk to.

Wow. this is industry shaking news…..

Is it just me or does the style remind anyone of Torchlight? These things a just begging for a cartoony/anime style paint job…

Cannot wait – no I need to clear some space on the painting shelf 🙂

Think the miniatures for this look fab, styling really reminds me of World of Warcraft.
