How should Fanatic go about bringing out new teams?

Carry on as they are doing (models before rules)?

Design the team and then have it playtested for 6 months before publishing?

Ask the BBRC to vet before publishing?

I would love to see a new human team but I don't want to have to use new experimental bretonnian/kislev/flavour of the month experimental humans mark II to be able to use them.
I'd love to see a Human team done like Brettonians with no new rules or Human team done like the Nipponese (make the Sumos the linemen what the heck) or a Norse team done in Kislev fashion ... absolutely. I'd gladly by these without any new rules to support them.

Are the Undead gone? No. I don't think they can go away. They'll just be the Horror State team like the High Elves.

GW's minis are much higher quality than other manufacturers IMO, I don;t mind paying extra. Luckily you only need 16 minis or so for BB, just be glad you don't play another game which require 50 of them ;)

I used to feel the same way, Anthony, and for awhile i think we were right. there was no competition but lately some really good minis companies are popping up. Reaper used to make me sick but their latest stuff is out of this world and cheaper than GW!

Not to mention, quality or not, it's frustrating to order "3 Weapon arm #2's" and get "2 Weapon arm #3's" repeatedly, repeatedly, repeatedly.

One of my favorites was when I got the Mordheim box set, because the idiot troll on the phone told me I could still get the BB box set. Instead of correcting his mistake and calling or mailing me. He just decided to spend my cash on Mordheim for me. :evil:

Many of Reapers minis are just as good. See their Warlord line for the best stuff. I am currently using their minotaur on my Chaos Dwarf Team.

Privateer Press has some realy nice steampunk Minis for their Iron Kingdoms Warmachine game.

I-Kor has some great stuff in their Cletos line.

Heresy has some of the best chrecters around.

Shadowforge has some good stuff.

Phills Phigs has some good stuff.

And their are others around.

Also, GW does make som realy realy bad minis. Just look at the new Dark Elf Mage ridding a coldone. Has my vote for the crappiest miny GW has made in the last decade.
