I hadn't heard this rumour but I suspected something was up because GW seemed to be gearing up to kill off Warhammer at some point in the near future. Having a campaign called The End Times was a big clue IMHO

what are the fantasy miniature games ranking higher than Warhammer Fantasy Battles in sales.

Well I'm pretty sure (as you said) that WarMachine and it's sibling Hoards would be on there.

Mantic's Kings of War is pretty popular these days, so I imagine that's pretty high ranking. Especially when you consider it's open policy toward miniatures means people will be re-using their Warhammer miniatures

A lot of people seeming to be playing Malifaux by Wyrd Miniatures these days too

Reaper of course has it's game WarLord and whiles there's no doubt that the miniatures are best sellers I don't know if anyone actually uses them to play the game.

And yea there's tones of other alternative games out there (and on my bookshelves) but I don't know how many are still high-profile games, many are out of print.

And yes, Warhammer 3rd Ed. was the best, except perhaps the magic system which was kind of clunky.
Also, what was up with Heroes with levels in increments of 5?

I went on a bit of tangent with regards to this, so I've moved it into It's Own Thread Here
