Since TOW was announced I had a hold on putting new models together. I saw what happened in 40k and AoS and I was aware that they might pull this with TOW aswell. I am most likely going to put together as they where in 8th and before, just to be able to go back, if I want to thou. On the next step, which is that I am going to use spacer bases or spacer trays depends on what bases will be announced for the units. I find these two options to be most economical moves to be. 

 

About large infantry bases, well 30 mm would makes perfect sense ( even if its not used, by GW ), but I wouldnt rule out some odd base size as well like 32 mm ( so that 32 mm round base models could be used from AoS, talking about new Chaos Warrirors). And lets not forget we are talking about GW you never know how they want to screw you over, not to buy cheaper alternatives from the beginning.  

 

Other stuff!  GW might have revieled the new Tomb King Liche Priest, years ago under the radar. 

 

 

This bad boy has been made for Warhammer: Chaosbane in 2019. 

 

Now if you compare to the Weapons of War article, which was uploaded last month (Old World Development Diary – Revealing the Weapons of War - Warhammer Community (warhammer-community.com) )

 

There are just too much similarities with that staff.

I must admit, I think warhammer fantasy did need a base size increase.. anyone who's ever tried to rank up Black Orcs on 25mm bases will attest to that fact! Even some of the latter dwarf models like the ironbreakers & irondrakes are a pig on 20mm

[Pellegrim]

Agree, although a hassle, things will look better imo.

I'll use conversion trays the first few games or so though, until I get a good feeling of the rules.

Imagine the revival this could bring! A possible reunion of WAP, Project, 9th etc., and perhaps oldhammerrs....

On Feait212 there is a roumor, that Battle for the Skull Pass and Island of Blood, will get reprint.

Ah, but all the rules would need to be re-written for the new game, so it would be just as easy to start from scratch. Not sure I will put much stock in that for now.

Why? Just put the new core rules booklet in the boxes and presto you got 4 armies on the fly. The army rules are likely going to be either free pdfs or indexes át launch like in 40k 10 th edition.

Yes but it would all have to be rebranded to The Old World and all the photographs would need to be retaken due to base size change.

They may re-use the figures from both boxed sets, but I hope not as those monopose dwarfs were awful sculpts.

I dont know I like those dwarfs. Maybe I am bit biased, because the first three Warhammer models I got was from the set. 

 

One the other hand there are some Chaos Dwarfs news, which I found on Facebook:

I recommend reading this thread I made on Chaos Dwarfs Online a few months ago.

 

TL;DR; There are a lot of rumours and speculation that chorfs are coming. Even since that thread I've heard of a leak claiming they're coming some time soon.

 

I really hope they get announced tomorrow at Warhammer Fest and prove me right, but someone on reddit worked out that at least some portion of the Age of Sigmar announcement is definitely going to be Dawnbringer Crusader Cavalry for Cities of Sigmar, which makes it unlikely there will be any other faction releases announced for AoS. There is an Old World announcement coming too, but it would also be weird if that were a Chaos Dwarfs announcement considering most people would be using a Chorf army in Age of Sigmar seeing as it's the more popular game and it would be a cross-compatiible army.

News from Warhammer Fest!

We are getting a look of two new minis on foot. One of them is a Tomb King and the other is a Paladin of Bretonnia!

Also in the article they say that we are going to have models comming back from WFB in plastic, resin and metal.

They also said that these two are just the beginning of the many new models come!

Last thing is quite wierd news, apperantly there wont be a starter set for the game, but there will be Start collecting!/Vanguard style box sets to get you started.

Bit of clarification:

Starter set is like Recruit/Elite/Command boxes for 40k

The things like Island of Blood, Battle for the Skull Pass are not starter sets according to GW.

Rules will be part online for the armies.

I don't want to be negative but does anyone else feel let down from this most recent reveal for the Old World? I was getting seriously hyped and now learning that the upcoming release box with brets and tomb kings will only have two new hero type models is a big let down in my opinion. Some factions really hold up well, but tomb kings were definitely not one of them. They desperately needed new infantry and archer models. Also, it might just be me but I get the feeling that GW is putting hardly any effort into it. They have been working on it for what 4 years now and they're gonna be releasing some hero models? I was really hoping that factions would be getting new updated PLASTIC sculpts. I am likely in the minority but I really don't like resin or metal models, and GW seemingly going in the opposite direction with this stance doesn't seem great for the longevity of this revival. Would they not commit to making new plastic kits if they are planning for it to succeed?

[herjan1987]

In article they said, that there will be more new models to come in resin and ín plastic aswell. This is just the beginning.

Kinda feel with Dwarfs & 8th edition, the roster was half-finished. Nice new sculpts for Hammerers, Ironbreakers, Longbeards & Irondrakes, but missing xbowmen, rangers, shieldbearer Lord, Slayers and a few other bits. I'll be satisfied if we just end up with a completed set, combined with a new centrepiece

If Brets and Tomb Kings are in the launch box, they're probably getting new plastics in that launch box. It would certainly be strange if the launch box was all 6th edition plastics.

 

It's also likely there will be at least one more hero for each in the launch box, Dominion for example has at least two heroes for both the Kruleboyz and Stormcast. One on foot and on something. Though it's not impossible these are the only heroes in there.

 

Games Workshop is clearly very trepidacious with everything Old World, and a lot of the strategy with it is clearly to sell those old kits that people still like and still want, and then invest and develop new products based on the sales of those. They basically said that as their answer to every question in the Q&A.

 

If all the Old World did was bring back all the metal dwarf models, espcially the last metal longbeards, I'd be over the moon personnally. And the fact that they've said there will be no finecast is the best news from all of Warhammer Fest in my opinion.

I'm very interested in news about Warhammer: The Old World and was excited to join this forum to learn more about this game. I've seen several reports that Warhammer: The Old World may be released this summer, and that really inspires me. I have played many Warhammer games and really want to learn more about The Old World, especially after Games Workshop stopped supporting Warhammer Fantasy. I agree with others who say that Games Workshop will probably release The Old World to meet the needs of fans of the classic fantasy game. I hope they do release this game this summer, because it will be a great gift for all Warhammer Fantasy fans. I'm also looking forward to the official announcements from Games Workshop about The Old World and I hope they will be released soon. I'm sure this game will be a big deal in the Warhammer world, and I can't wait to learn more about it. Thank you to all forum members for the interesting discussions and I look forward to continuing our discussion about Warhammer: The Old World!

^that an official GW tout post? Contains the expression 'Warhammer: The Old World' 6 times, whereas most people would put it once & then refer to 'it' thereafter... maybe I'm a skeptic but seems carefully worded to me.
But yes, I'll be interested to see what it looks like & how it plays. I Hope it's not too dissimilar to 8th edition

[Ragnar Alpaca]

I've heard rumors of the launch box of brettonians containing no new models besides the two heroes we have just seen, old kits with upgrade sprues, and completely new plastic kits for everything. As much as I want it to be the latter, I feel it is likely to be the first, since the painting team at GW rebased and repainted a whole new Bret army and they didn't have any new pieces on them. They wouldn't have redone that army for just a couple pictures, they'll want to use those in the upcoming books. To me it looks like no new Brets or TKs besides their heroes for the foreseable future. I assume the renders of new bits will either be upgrade kits for the future or new plastic that will be years out still.

[Thunderförge]

I suppose the armies that sell well will get reinvestment with new releases in due course.
I wonder if the dwarf warriors will be Battle for Skull Pass ones or the multipart ones?

Fellow Dawi

 

The years have passed since I last visited these halls .... and the Gatekeeper said I didn't know the right password when I returned. Pfah. It took some good dawi persuasion to get past the grobi-loving fool.

 

In those years my clans have carried axe and hammer across the battlefield, have enacted total war not once, not twice but three times bringing retribution to every corner of the warhammer world and dwarfen fury has made Ubersreik and Helmgardt have run red with the raki blood.

 

And now, NOW I hear rumours of this thing called 'The Old World'. That the chaos worshipping creatures of the workshop want me to part with more gold for a world they destroyed years gone. Well WELL ....

 

Never forget fellow Dawi. Never forgive. A grudge is a grudge so give them nothing but bitterness and anger and your deep rooted resentment.
