Topic: Rumors and what's new to be expected for The Old World ...

Nice one GP.

I think that's fine - most of those models were made in WHFB times anyway.


Question though - where did those plastic river trolls go? Have they been missing for a long time? They were fantastic...

[GamesPoet]

Lot's of interesting stuff happening there.

Most of the figures in the Bonesplittas faction could translate into O&G for The Old World, although not sure we'll see them show up there or not.

And the number of retiring Warcry bands is fairly amazing.  Many of those bands are from the original line, and perhaps they just aren't selling enough of them anymore to keep them around.

I do notice though that savage boar boys can’t dual-wield this edition… so there is that.

More Old World Brets, TK, and O&G arriving ...

But still no O&G Arcane Journal in Oz.

The old night goblins plastic multi-parts. Interesting.

Why anyone would buy them instead of the 7th ed plastics that are used for AoS is beyond me.

[PowerSeries]

I have spent hours cleaning mould lines off those goblins from the battle for Skull Pass.  Wholy crap those lines go right over the knuckles and there are 100 of them and if these sculpts have less that would be a selling point.

[Warlord]

They don't. I recall the mould lines on these night goblins were worse.
I do recall there were some interesting conversion options for them though - I just can't remember what!

It is fascinating to see just how old some of the models they bring back are. There HAS to be some kind of meta reason behind it, especially considering some of the fantastic more modern sculpts.

I think there are a couple of factors in play:
1) gotta chase that nostalgia £££
2) due to the way GW's business units are organised for TOW to get credit for sales the models have to be exclusive to TOW.
Hence the old ogres, old giants, old goblins. This is elaborated on inn a video from the good half of square based.

[GamesPoet]

Yep, saw a different video, believe I provided a link some where around here, regarding how GW splits up their game into profit centers.

New White Dwarf model coming and he looks awesome. Celebrating 500 issues of White Dwarf mag.

Can you get it without the base?

[Gankom]

They haven't said yet. IF its like the last big celebration Gotrek they did however, it will come with two bases. A "normal" gaming base, and that bigger display one. IF its the same.

[Zygmund]

Even if he comes with an integral base, you can of course cut the feet clean off the base.

Wonder how big he is. Is that base 25mm, 28,5mm, or 32mm?

Wild stab in the dark, 32/40mm
