Ten anecdotes about medieval warhammer, warhammer 40k, Horus Rebellion, Hobbits, Warhammer's time in Sima and GW Company.
1, GW's earliest product was not the Warhammer series.
GW Company was only a small workshop at the earliest, and its main product was board games. Later, I lost some core members because of my interest in computers, but I survived with many businesses such as Dungeons and Dragons, and gradually became a giant in the sandbox chess world. At first, GW's famous white dwarf magazine was not called white dwarf.
At present, the overall development of chess and card games is benign, because the market has not yet reached saturation, and computer games, traditional board games, sand table games and running groups can expand each other with relatively little competition. GW is also facing a series of new challenges, such as PP. GW has taken a series of measures, including integrating epic, Gothic Fleet and a series of niche games, concentrating the resources under the 40k worldview on the ontology of Warhammer 40k, and then advancing the timeline of the Middle Ages, so that the end of the Middle Ages can be fully developed and the timeline can be advanced to the Siegmar era. This is a historical cycle, and it has returned to the road of exploration.

2. Medieval Warhammer and Warhammer 40k were once on the same plane.
Medieval Warhammer and Warhammer 40k have many similarities from Chaos Four Gods to Witch Hunters and Judges. It is not surprising that they are two products of the same company. In fact, the 40k hammer was directly born out of the medieval hammer. For example, the setting of the Eldar came from the medieval elves. For the 40k clown, high precision is the Ark Elves, and the dark elves are the dark Elves. There are also implicit mutual hints. For example, the Dark Eldar claims to be the most authentic Eldar descendant within 40km of the Warhammer and lives in the most prosperous empire of the old Eldar Empire. As a result, at the end of the Middle Ages, the dark and elegant Mareschi was the real Phoenix King. In the early setting, the Middle Ages was a planet in the 40k universe of Warhammer, but this setting ended up with nothing. After the end of the Middle Ages, the new timeline, the Sima Age, set the time for a long time after the end of the Middle Ages, completely avoiding the intersection with 40k. After the new camp division in the Sima era and the four gods removed the inappropriate S and replaced it with a mouse, the intersection was even less.
Last but not least, it's interesting that there are great tutors, famous figures and desktop bugs of Grey Knight, the elite imperial army in the 40kli Warhammer. Beloved Drake (nicknamed Ye Ge by domestic players) is trapped in subspace and shuttles back and forth from place to place. In a series of works, he even hinted that he fought in the Middle Ages. Finally, there appeared a "hero wearing silver armor and using firearms to help", which was widely speculated as Drake.
The new packaging of a series of old models of Grey Knight was updated in August, 14.

3. In the Middle Ages, Warhammer once played a game similar to Total War.
In addition to the Warhammer mod of Medieval 2, gw did authorize the production of a medieval game with real-time strategy, called Warhammer Chaos Seal and Information Warhammer, and entered the battlefield.

4. Nicholas Green Elf has to say that GW's large-scale model is a broken face.
For the famous Lord of the Rings, the film series successfully made the Lord of the Rings series from Poké mon Diamonds to Hobbits to The Lord of the Rings become a popular culture. GW also made a series of war chess called "Hobbit". The rules are very different from those of aos, 40k and whf today, and it is still one of the main product lines. Some time ago, the Hobbit series movies were updated. However, contrary to GW's expectation, despite a whole year's efforts in promoting White Dwarf magazine, The Hobbit finally became a loss-making project. In fact, the reason is very simple, the ugly face-the model is too small, which leads to the fact that both details and operability are much worse than those in 40k and the Middle Ages, not to mention aos.
Another reason for promoting the large-scale GWFW model is that the bigger the model, the more money you earn. After commercialization, GW and its subsidiary FW care less and less about the portability of the model. Oh, no, it's the portability of the model of people who can't afford their own military bags.
The figurine model in the Sima era is at least the size of the terminator in the Warhammer 40k, which is larger than the average star warrior. This is for details.
Some models of tau Empire produced by fw, the rhinoceros (personnel carrier) in the second picture is slightly larger, and the dimensions of other models can be imagined, just to make money. ...
The portability of the new Big Devil and Brother Ye is obviously compared.
The elf prince model displayed by White Dwarf in 2003, assuming that you have seen the movie and the aesthetic is normal, will you allow this thing to destroy your male god ... not to mention the female role and the female wizard, and dare not send it ... I can't bear to look straight. ...
