The licensing could be a quagmire, but Rogue Trooper and Chainsaw Warrior would be neat to see again.

That would be a lot of fun. I would buy into reboxed necromunda or Star battles.

 Absolutely the two player counter wargames (Battle for Armageddon, Horus Heresy, and Doom of the Eldar to a lesser extent the first two are the best).  Quick, easy to hit the table and hard to find that style of game in print.

I still own Doom of the Eldar.  A great game.

Futility

Move him into the sun
Gently its touch awoke him once,
At home, whispering of fields unsown.
Always it woke him, even in France,
Until this morningthis snow.
If anything might rouse him now
The kind old sun will know.

Man O'War would be an excellent reprint, whether FFG or GW does it, personally I think it seems like a ripe concept for a CMG, as the ships could be sold as semi random packs (maybe per fleet) with cards and plastic ships, heck maybe even modify the liscence to make this happen (I.e. GW produces the minis and boosters, and FFG sells the core rules as a boxed set with 6 imperial frigates and 6 pirate ships ala the original release. Thus GW has a new outlet for minis production and the minis are hardly as hard to make as say a marine platoon, or a landraider, in parts, and the collectable thing means repeat buys of the same product, making for a higher profit margin ( I many players hate collectable minis but if done right we would be able to make it tollerable by players and it's a good concession as it means higher profit for the game company) having FFG sell the boxed set as a gateway drug and letting GW handle the minis end could be a win/win (something we would all like to see)

If your players are munchkins its up to you to be the wicked witch of the west.

Except you won't see GW do a minis line that doesn't support either WH or 40k. Becasue such a line would, well, cut the income for the said lines.

As I understand it, FFG cannot reproduce any GW game that uses their  scale of minis.  How about Advanced Heroquest with Descent/Tannhauser scale minis?

Guess with the recent announcement on the GW webpage the idea of Space Hulk is a no go from FFG.

So true, but there are still 3 new games coming for this year!

Where would be the sense of republishing worser games, if you have some better games out there?

Curse of the Mummy's Tomb is a natural for consideration.  They should be doing this game post-haste.  I love board games with roleplaying elements and it would be nice for this game to get a redux. 

I don't see it making sense for FFG to do a Warhammer Quest reprint when they have Descent -- a wonderful dungeon crawl game -- which already fills that niche quite well.

Since FFG shows tendencies to venture into LCG interpretations of the GW licences (Invasion) and since the Sabretooth Games also used to publish a long lasting WH40k themed CCG (in both; Horus Heresy and Dark Millennium), after seeing this http://www.spacemarine.com/#/en/trailers/ in the pipelines (knowing how much FF is trying to tie the Invasion with the WH Online), would it be safe to assume we'll see a 40k themed LCG as well?

I honestly hope these connections make sense to someone else as well. :)

(I can imagine a conceptual mix between Invasion and CoC, where both players have a home planet, but capturing "neutral" planets in the middle of the table gives you additional resources, card draws, etc. A new set of planets could be printed every now and then (like with CoC story cards) and the organised play could in turn dictate which planets to play in a campaign-style events).

Mistersam; Check out Ganesha Games' Song of Gold and Darkness. I think you might like it, as one reviewer on BBG states; "In terms of feel, SGD feels more like the often revered Warhammer Quest (without the messy record keeping or mucking about with overworld travel) than other skirmish games like (the somewhat videogame-style) Descent, even though the latter is more similar from a technical standpoint."

Don't do Warhammer Quest. I don't see the point. You've already got Descent. IMHO a superb dungeon crawler on par with Warhammerquest.

I'd like to see Battlefleet Gothic in a better and newer version than the original. It plays fast, is exciting and has a format open to expansions.

Fantus Victor!

While I realize that the licensing agreement between GW and FFG explicitly states that Space Hulk is not included, I think that the recent popularity of Space Hulk has shown should cause FFG to revisit their agreement with GW.

 

What I mean by that is that GW has stated in print in a few sources that they will not be supporting Space Hulk in the future. Its shame that GW made Space Hulk to be a limited edition game, but since GW do not have any current plans of releasing the game as a general consumption product so that people who did not jump on the bandwagon immediatly can still buy it in the futur. I think FFG should go for a Space Hulk License to not only reproduce the 3rd edition of Space Hulk (with models provided by GW, naturally) but FFG should also produce supplements for Space Hulk.

 

The supplements could be a good money maker for FFG as there are MANY tiles that GW produced for Space Hulk over the years that were not reprinted in 3rd edition. FFG could treat this in the same way as most of their other games, ala Arkham Horror, etc where expansions are released intermittently.

 

People who own 3rd ed Space Hulk are clamoring for more content than merely the 12 missions that the 3rd ed includes. GW has wasted the potential for supporting the game in the future. If GW doesnt want to make money from it, perhaps if an agreement could be struck between FFG and GW then FFG would like to make some cash. GW would only benefit from this because they wont have to do anything other than provid models (their forte) and license.

 

Everyone wins in this situation.
