The people who dropped the game weren't Games Workshop. It was the guys with the licence for the RPG. If GW is still the same, the licensee probably was happy to get out of the relationship *and* lost money.

Actually it was GW who canned it. You see Black Industries is a sub-divison of Games Workshop. Apparently last year GW took a big loss and even made the financial news in England. So they are "tightening their belts" Don't get me wrong, I think they are idiots for closing down a project that has sold out twice in mere days (limited edition and first printing). However, GW has always put their interest in their 40K/Fantasy Mini games and others are thrown to the sidelines...just like the original WFRP,Bloodbowl,Necromunda,Battlefleet Gothic, Mordheim,Warmaster,etc...Let's just hope Green Ronin can pick up the license..but again GW is a pain in the butt when they license out their product..good example was Hogshead who had WFRP for a short time.

Ah sorry, my mistake. I know GW is a pain to work with and I didn't bother checking to see who Black Industries was. GW makes some good games but the way they treat distributors and retailers in the USA is just stupid (I can't speak for overseas). I think working with these guys is asking for trouble.

I once walked into a Warhammer store in Amsterdam and that was a really weird experience. Me and my friend got practically jumped by two of the salespeople, and it was all "Buy! buy! buy! and join the fun! fun! fun! or get out! out! out!" We practically ran out of the store. The guy in my local gamestore, who only carries GW as part of the stock, later explained how they worked on a comission system, and that GW has some pretty agressive sales techniques.
I never looked at anything from GW after that, but it seems I'm a minority, since they're gaining ground in every gamestore here. (It's what the kids want to play, and GW has these special days, where they explain how you can "make your army so much better, going from a 500 to a 1000 point army" or something. -- For the small price of a few 100 bucks.)

Lets face it, GW's WH40k and WH are todays, Kiddy Crack - the little rug rats love the stuff. But when they grow older and more mature, most players come to see GW for what it is, and their games system for what it is, and end up moving off to more complex games.
Also the kids are into GW games while mum and dad are buying the toys, as soon as the kids have to buy their own models they discover how over priced those GW toys really are, and that other games systems give you far more bang for your buck.
