News: FFG to release 'Chaos Marauders'

Hey all, Fantasy Flight games are really making use of their GW license, releasing 'Chaos Marauders', an old old GW game from the 80s. Check out more info here.

From their site: "Attention all Grivziz Dirtballs, Sneaky Gits, and Bozlum Pigstickers! The Crummy Snotling Slaves at FFG have been toiling endlessly to appease their Orcish overlords, and are now happy to say that the daily beatings may soon stop. Fantasy Flight Games is proud to announce the upcoming release of a classic Games Workshop card game, Chaos Marauders!

Originally published in 1987, Chaos Marauders quickly gained a large following for its fast and frenzied gameplay, hilarious cast of characters, and tense player interaction. In this light card game for two to four warlords, each player takes the role of the boss of a ragtag army of Chaos forces. You’ll need to muster and control your three battle lines, each capped off with a Musician and a Battle Standard, more efficiently than your opponents.

The new revised edition will include updated art, subtle rule improvements, and easy-to-use card layouts. It’s no longer necessary to reference the rule book for every special card, so new players can get into the bonecrushing action even faster!"

News: Fantasy Flight Games Presents - Warhammer Invasion The Card Game

Hey all, well that was a long title! Looks like FFG is taking another stab into the Warhammer universe with this upcoming card game. Take a look here. The game certainly looks promising, but as with any other card game of this nature, it's just not going to make a dent in the CCG market as Magic will essentially always have that locked up. Still it'll definitely be worth a try. What do you guys think?

Yet, as the powers of Chaos seek domination by corruption and conquest, they must vie not only against each other, but also against the desperate denizens of the Old World who fight to banish the gods back to the maelstrom of the Realm of Chaos…for now.
The time of woe is upon us.— Grimoire Daemonicus
