Only vaguely naval, but Privateer Press is terminating their Press Ganger program by April 30th. They'll only work direct wuth retailers for promotional events now. So soon, I'll "only" be a Vanguard.
When GW ditched the Outriders like this, it was a bad move all-round. And eventually 1 of 3-4 reasons why I ditched GW. But here at least, they're keeping Retailer comms open.
I wondered for a sec if Spartan might follow the trend and nix Vanguards. But Spartan_Linde seem very enthusiastic for improving that program. Still very much needed IMHO, given the drop in market penetration.
Unless PP was planning a Naval game (which would TOTALLY rock... Cryx Ghost Arks and Black Ships versus Khadoran galleys?!) this has little effect on the MBS world. But its more likely I'll have more time for Spartan events now, especially at Cons.
But now, if I want a Naval/Pirate themed title, I'll have to start demoing for Blood and Plunder or something. :-)
