WallyTWest Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Got talking with a friend... why are you guys not making these? Reaper would dominate this field. (Pun Intended) Seriously, compare the quality of some of the sculpts out there to reaper. See if impact will allow you to make figures for elf ball, im shure if you ask nicely... I think they would sell just fine in comparison to your other ranges and I know if you came out with the right teams I would buy one!

Obeldia Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 I've discussed the same thing with friends. A US football style game insted of the Rugby Blood Bowl style. Lots of twists and fun event situations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Froggy the Great Posted December 11, 2008 Moderator Share Posted December 11, 2008 I might even get my co-workers into minis-gaming with something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindless Focus Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 i have a Chaos Dwarf team that might like some field time as well as company... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Years ago, a Reaper forum member sent me a link to a set of she-orc "powderpuff" football players. I had almost forgotten about them until I saw this post. Here's a thought though. Instead of fantasy football, how about hockey? MUCH bloodier sport and smaller box-sets required for startup.

WallyTWest Posted December 11, 2008 Author Share Posted December 11, 2008 Well... Ill be honest. I would want to play Grandma Willson's popular tabletop game with the figures. There are some odd miniature publishers geting into making fantasy football miniatures. Some of them are awfull, others inspired. Reaper could publish their own rules set based off of americian foot ball. That would be simple, and I am shure they would love the help. They could even have it as a download to justify the miniatures. Perhaps they could take a diffrent angle... like Mutant League Football? But seriously, I cant see somthing like that not selling. There is a long term market with a constant demand. Its a field generaly dominated by Grandma Willson, but I would be happy to give my money to whomever made the best sculpts. Many blood bowl turneys are independently run and GW seems to no longer support the fantasy football hobby.... There are so many people using reaper sculpts as coaches... its time they made a few teams as well. With reapers ability to publish miniatures they could have a few teams out in a cupple months. They could even go so far as to publish "coach packs". I dont know a single blood bowl player who has stoped at only 1 team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kristof65 Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 I'd say add a sculpt or two to the chronoscope or DHL line and see how they do. As for Reaper doing their own Fantasy football game, I'd vote no - CAV, Warlord and RotD need all of the game development resources Reaper currently has. Spike - funny you should mention fantasy hockey. A decade or so ago, that was one of the games my friends and I were attempting to develop at our game design company.

Mindless Focus Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 i actually really like the idea of Mutant League Football. Wasnt that a cartoon way back when? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WallyTWest Posted December 12, 2008 Author Share Posted December 12, 2008 Yea actualy, there seems to be a market for slightly tooled up superhuman monsters in bloodbowl. Even GW once made a cyborg, lately somebody has put out a road warrior-esque team. It would be an intresting angle to take the fantasy figure line from. (And one that reaper would excell with).
