They are certainly thriving and very much a success. They keep going despite mistakes here and there.
40k is a bit corporate now. The Rise of 'Primarus' marines is a tough point for some veteran players. The models are cool but the stories are...meh. Rules aren't great these days.
I remember fondly the early 2000's and mass battles with 4th and 5th edition 40k. And I was dead keen on old Warhammer. I had vast Wood Elf and Undead armies and I must say I deeply regret selling them off.
I'm trying to get into the new Old World rules using some Mantic Dwarves from a good 15 years ago. Never sold them so now they're getting used 🤷🏼♂️
I am so glad that Old World has been brought back. Its dragged me back to a hobby I abandoned years ago - I categorically refuse to accept that Age of Sigmar exists, frankly. I see it as generic fantasy tosh, while proper Warhammer has a distinct character.
Admittedly as someone who has always been more interested in the atmosphere and story of Warhammer than the game rules themselves, I'm not sure what I think about the direction of 40K. Call me an old fogey, but I loved the old days of the early 2000s, when the universe was frankly barely fleshed out, and you could draw inspiration from the incredible artwork of John Blanche. Now it's all a little.... I don't know... corporate?
Anyway, I'm extremely happy to see GW thriving. A British success story, and one which trades on the FTSE 100!
