EPIC: GW looking at supporting again?

Matthew Otter - Space Marines

If you have been following my series on Epic:Armageddon, you will already have read about mine and others' lamentation regarding GW's apparent lack of enthusiasm for their Specialist Games products.

It's because of this apparent lack of enthusiasm that I was more than a little surprised to learn about the new Epic displayat Warhammer World in the UK.

Apparently, the awesome blokes over at EpicUK (you guys rule! keep up the great work!) were approached by GW representatives earlier this year about hosting "an exhibition of the best EPIC tournament armies seen at EPIC UK events".

Matthew Otter, EpicUK Chairman, writes "EPIC UK have [sic] been in talks with Games Workshop to see if we can hold another EPIC display in the future and it all looks hopeful".

~What could this mean? Is it possible GW is finally feeling The Love for Epic:Armageddon and the other Specialist Games? Has the wasted potential of these ranges finally been noticed by The Suits? Particularly with the imminent release of Planetary Empires, merging the Awesome Factors of Battlefleet Gothic and Epic:Armageddon with Warhammer 40,000 makes a lot of sense. What say you all?
