I can see faction name changes. Perhaps some kind of middle ground between the 'current' Old World and what it is in AoS.

Warlord · « **Reply #1276 on:** November 22, 2019, 01:30:58 AM »

Do we see a time portal between AoS and old world for Sigmarines to pour through and save the Old World from destruction? Time paradox be damned?

Gankom · « **Reply #1277 on:** November 22, 2019, 02:06:14 AM »

I don't myself. They seem pretty certain to keep the End Times as canon. This is being compared to the Horus Heresy specialist games for 40k, so kind of like asking if Modern 40k will flood back into 30k to change the timeline. Besides, there's no reason to. All the new stuff will continue to sell fine for AoS so there's no need to move them into the 'historical' game. Not to mention if they want to cash in on the video game crowd it wont amount to much. None of its in the video games!

Doombull · « **Reply #1278 on:** November 22, 2019, 02:24:59 AM »

The only way they'd retcon the End Times, is if The Old World became dramatically successful. As in, pulling numbers, consistently comparable to a core game.

I don't expect that. I expect it to do well, probably the best "specialist Game" outside of the Horus Heresy, but it won't do as well as AoS or 40k.

I dont expect it to do all that well because almost everything GW produce is crazy overpriced nowadays IMO.

Yet somehow the company is doing dramatically well. We'll see upon launch, but I expect it will do just fine.

Perhaps. I honestly dont know anything about their financials, other than feeling they are too expensive.

Also I’m not sure that is the case in Australia. I remember about 10 years ago they had a big expansion, opening lots of new stores. About 5 - 6 years ago a lot if them closed, and haven’t reopened since.
They may be profitable, but I feel like they are priced in such a way that the playerbase has diminished or shrunk from what it used to be.

To be fair, Aus and NZ just get screwed. GW clearly doesn't prioritize those markets at all.

I feel you mate. I'm a dual citizen with NZ. If I ever moved back home, my hobbying would... evaporate, lol.

Yeah unfortunately I feel Aussie land got screwed pretty hard. It looks like GW has no interest in going back either. There's massive expansion in the States and Canada, and tournament numbers are way up. I've heard it's even getting pretty big in Japan. possibly helped by the fact they seem to be treating Japan as a bit of a test bed. (Like with 40k Heroes series for example.)

Warlord · « **Reply #1286 on:** November 22, 2019, 09:26:48 PM »

The thing is, they just consistently screwed us on price. They should have realised when it was more cost effective for people to buy from the US or UK stores, pay for shipping and still be saving money. When they cut off international shipping on their website, is roughly when they started to close their newly opened stores.

I like!👆
I was just thinking of getting the tzeentch battletome. I’ll hold off for now. I have enough tzeentch for a 3000 point army from old models but I really like the tzangors and have none.

So they made the Elfs have ancient greek looking helmets. And I find it interesting that the shields have those holes in the upper corner for the spears as well. There was another company recently that made elves with shields similar to that.

I like what I see

Gankom · « **Reply #1293 on:** January 24, 2020, 05:03:20 PM »

I love them. They really look like updated high elves, and I like the way that God-Mage Teclis is fairly normally proportioned. I don't like big monsters myself, but I could see some great conversions there.

oak_prince · « **Reply #1294 on:** January 26, 2020, 03:33:27 AM »

I like Teclis' Griffon-Sphinx a lot.

Those elfs look like WFB. And that means W:AoS is dieing.

😺 👆
There are about 25 different factions. I think 5 elf factions alone. These are a great looking force but I don’t think it’s dying yet 😸

GamesPoet · « **Reply #1299 on:** January 30, 2020, 10:26:24 PM »

W:AoS has 5 elf factions?
