While the demise of Warhammer: Historical is to be regretted, it wasn't really surprising. It had been on life support for years, and it was only a matter of time before the company switched it off.
I can't really fault their logic - when they started the historical games acted as a "gateway drug" to draw established historical gamers into fantasy/sf gaming. By the time they shut up shop, the reverse was true: the historical rules were sucking players out of Warhammer Fantasy and into historicals, where they discovered inconvenient truths like 44 plastic infantry for £20 (Perry, Warlord, Victrix, Gripping Beast), balanced tournament play, and accurate scale. No wonder GW try to convince people that they are THE wargaming Hobby...
