“This chart of the ICv2 “Top 5 Non-Collectible Miniature Games” shows U.S. sales for the Fall season, September through December. To develop this chart, we interviewed distributors, manufacturers, and retailers, then aggregated the information into a single ranking.”
1: Star Wars X-Wing
Fantasy Flight Games2: Warhammer
Games Workshop3: Star Wars Armada
Fantasy Flight Games4: Warmachine
Privateer Press5: Star Trek Attack Wing
WizKids/NECA
Okay so one caveat: we’re not 100% sure on if Warhammer means Warhammer 40,000, Warhammer: Age of Sigmar or all GW in general. Same with Warmachine for Privateer Press, but there looks to be no stomping FFG as they have TWO games now in the Top 5 and lease the rights to the rules for the #5 game Star Trek Attack Wing.
Here’s the ICv2 report from 2014 (last year’s), compare the winners and the losers to 2015:
1: Warhammer 40k
Games Workshop
2: Star Wars X-Wing Miniatures
Fantasy Flight Games
3: Warmachine
Privateer Press
4: Star Trek Attack Wing
WizKids/NECA
5: Hordes
Privateer Press
So with that being said, is it time to lock S-Foils in attack position?

Bio: Spikey Bits started with Rob trying to stay motivated to hobby on his backlog of projects and share his knowledge with others during the early blogging era. Virginia restless, miniature painter & cat dad. He blames LEGOs as there was something about those little-colored blocks that started it all.
Scale model hobbyist in the 80s, miniature wargamer, and trading card player ever since. He’s played every edition of Warhammer 40k and Warhammer Fantasy since 5th Edition, but Titans of all sizes will always be his favorite! It’s rumored that his hobby vault rivals the Solemnance Galleries, containing rulebooks filled with lore from editions long past, ancient packs of black-bordered Magic Cards, and minatures made of both pewter and resin.
