ditto here … I’m sometimes so jealous of folk who can maintain focus on just the one hobby niche (like only doing 40k).

So far .. nothing that bad has happened to OTT since they were acquired by the same company, but they didn’t have anything that could be combined either.

With WI in the pocket I do wonder if they will ever be tempted to try to combine both.

A company usually doesn’t get bought because of “I want to have that”. Most of the times it’s a financial decision or the old owners retire. So some things will change for sure. Just look at the article from earlier:
