How about we get this thread back on track. The topic is a miniature Warcraft wargame.
I'm impartial because I never got into the Warhammer games (mainly 'cause my family was poor) but I'd get behind a Warcraft one :P

its funny the same people the scream every mmo is a "wow clone" deny that warcraft is a warhammer clone.
Harry potter should do a cross over with Twilight.

I'd love it if Games Workshop made Warcraft or Starcraft miniatures.
I used to love painting my Uruk'hai army and I still would be if people didn't stop playing the LOTR version. I thought about switching to 40k but I really couldn't justify the cost of starting again.
Garrosh did nothing wrong.

Here, if you want to argue about whether or not Warcraft is a "ripoff" of Warhammer or not, go here: http://www.mmo-champion.com/threads/...t-of-Warhammer

all space movies are a ripoff of (of?) Le Voyage dans La Lune. (interestingly, it was stolen from its creator and author and became enormously popular while he died a pauper, a reason for copyrights to be made years and years later)
Its already been mentioned on the first page concerning warcrafts initial creation. That really puts this off-rail discussion to rest.
But anyway.
The megablocs were a rather good idea. I've been wondering for years why blizz hasnt tapped its marketing potential more (iam not insinuating that they arent, just that i wonder why not more than they already have, though i understand it was a major risk if they push it in a big way and major headache to manage if the market responses are mediocre).
Seen the activity rise a bit with stuff like weapon replica's, our ability to now have quality busts/posing models of our characters made and sent to us, plushies, etc etc.
This is definately a step in the right direction. Plus those videos (show episodes) made with them are enjoyable :3

Warcraft borrowed a little bit of it's foundation from from everything and anything related to fantasy.
HOOKED ON DIABLOL, GOOD TIMES ARE BEING HAD
which is actually why its so awesome. Many fantasy franchises made the attempt but fell flat or were mediocre. Some like WoW excelled and it can be said that they (especially wow) opened up the market for future fantasy games to make their place.
