    Would WoW/Warcraft Do Well With a Miniature Tabletop Game?

    If Blizzard decided to take a note from Games Workshop and started making Warcraft miniatures and armies, do you think there would be interest? Painting your own models like Illidan/Alliance Footmen/Orc Grunts etc. ?

    Rule books and strategies, physical terran boards?

    it would probably be seen as a cheap way to grab cash. Also, if I'm not mistaken these games have a fairly small community, (not to mention warcraft was based heavily on warhammer anyway).

    They had a miniature game for a while several years back, it was actually pretty fun. I wish they'd kept with it. Painting your own sounds super fun too though, I'd buy some just to paint up.

    I don't know about a warhammer style game, never played, though I watched quite a few back in college.

    I have the WoW boardgame. Got it at a Books-a-Million store a few years back. Its pretty neat: fairly complex gameplay like War of the Ring or Axis and Allies. Set in northern Eastern Kingdoms pre-BC.

    It's been done although it's more of a hybrid minatures/card game.

    I'd be in for a good set of miniatures rules and some figures to paint although think this is a very fringe market in the U.S. Would do better in Europe I would think.

    WoW does have tabletop board games.

    They suck.

    (source : i bought one for100euros 8-10 years ago, played it 2-3 times).
