Time will tell who is right.

They have Colossals, the RPG, the Video Game, if they come out with a Bioware-grade CRPG, that would just about secure their IP for a while, then comes novels, and the eventual movie (provided they aren't idiotic about their IP like GW is.)

What does Colossals have to do with securing their IP?

I find it amusingly strange that GW was pandered, reviled, shit upon, etc about titans and their super heavies, yet good 'ol PP does it and they are the bestest evar.

Nothing, I was just listing the ways they're expanding the IP bit by bit, it's the Bioware-grade CRPG by itself that would secure the IP.

On the issue of popularity I agree with Blackhand. WM is ridiculously popular and at least in my town we by far outnumber the warhammer players and Bayreuth is home to some 40k top players...

Not everyone hates GW for all that they do.

Some of us actually want to buy their work.

Which is why I said I have no clue what happens overseas.

If it launches with the first book this year, I'll tie it in with the release of Colossals in the club!

Tell me, would you be interested in this scenario:

A band of adventurers working for the Protectorate, Cygnar, Ord, a mercenary contract in Llael or some other power infiltrate the Khadoran-occupied Llaelese countryside and play a huge part in the espionage and eventually first war the Colossals will take part in!

Yeah, I know that Colossals is for the wargame.  However, there is a neat thing a lot of folk miss.  The wargame and the RPG will have nearly directly translatable stats.  You might have to convert the numbers, but it works wonders with other miniature games who have roleplaying games in those universes.

For example, WS3 in Warhammer Fantasy Battle translates to WS30-39 in WFRP 1e or 2e.  Haven't seen the exact scale yet for Iron Kingdoms but it's very promising, meaning wargamers who already have material will have even more to work with.
