But really. I played the SBG back when it first came out and have played it (well maybe wished I could play it, or meddled with it a bit) since then. When our preview copy of WoTR came in no one was very interested, I was of 3 players of the SBG in town, with an average of one game every year being played. Anyway no one was super interested in WoTR when it came in, so I took the book home and looked it over. The next day, I was like OMG this game is amazing! Its the game everyone wanted the SBG to be, but that the SBG never was. SO I said, this game is going to be pushed, we are going to make it popular (here at least). Played a bunch of demo games with people, Built up 2000 pts of Dwarfs in two days (fastest I've built an army), forced Jwolf and Bigred to play with us, (Bulwark needed no forcing) and now we have a ever growing group of 20+ players and monthly tournaments going. During that time I sat down with Bigred and we talked a bit and decided WoTR was the big new GW game and that we needed to cover it,so me and Bulwark started writing some stuff for it.
So thats the long answer of how we came to WoTR.
As for the SBG, I think it is simple to say that it has little popularity (at least in any place I have been, I know it is popular in the UK) and that it is no longer the big new 3rd line game that GW is pushing. Weather or not we plan on writing about it in the future I cannot say.
