I think it is a near certainty they will bring back the metal sculpts. They have used them extensively in promo shots, and as we have seen with O&G in particular, the minis they show off are the minis they intend to bring back.

No word on Warrior Priests of Ulric. Would assume they will do a MtO run of the Storm of Chaos pair, but nothing said so far.

And I use Imgur to upload pics here. Works fine. Just use copy image address and then paste that into

Holy crap!! It works!! Thank you very much!

Preorders are up for more Brets and TK ... including some of the older metal models as well ...

I wish they released the 5th edition metal men-at-arms models.
Those were my favourite Bretonnian infantry models. I keep hoping those will be the 'yeomen' models they keep mentioning.

I'm struggling with the concept of "pre-order". I was going to order the questing knights and archers, yet the idea of them notifying me when their ready just struck me as wrong. I want to place an order and have them sent to me, and so I am waiting.

Orcs are the next faction back! Grab your orcs!

VERY interesting battalion box. No heroes.

Gankom · « **Reply #256 on:** March 17, 2024, 08:57:06 PM »

In particular I want to draw everyones eye to the battalion box. We spent a lot of time wondering whats in the coming empire one, and this looks to confirm that heroes are only going to be in the special brett and TK boxes.

GamesPoet · « **Reply #257 on:** March 17, 2024, 11:27:51 PM »

Maybe the "hero" (can they be called that? Their orcs!

) will be riding in a chariot

Gankom · « **Reply #258 on:** March 21, 2024, 02:30:59 PM »

After the orcs we have dwarves next!

and the first of the returning special charaacters, its a younger Ungrim Ironfist.

Gankom be me to it!

Apparently this newest set of releases was announced at Adepticon.

And oh, my, my, my ... look at those dwarf figures in that last picture ... wonderful!

Gankom · « **Reply #260 on:** March 21, 2024, 04:17:40 PM »

I'm pretty hyped. Dwarves are my main army usually, and there's a bunch here to excite me. Seeing it, I actually think I'll skip the battlebox (Its good stuff but I have so much of all that) and I can instead just spend a fortune on overexpensive characters.

I primed those Ulther's Dwarfs last autumn, but haven't got to painting them. Very interested to see them brought back!

They also said they are going to release some Imperial Dwarves.

Does anyone else think the slayer in the photo with the BSB looks deformed?

How do you mean?

All Dwarf *are* deformed, when compared to men.

Yeah that slayer is pretty ugly looking. I'm pretty sure its just the paint job. They've painted it to look like he's just died his crest orange and not all his hair, including some that appears to be on the back/sides of the head. But instead it makes it look like he's had a horrible sci fi face transplant.

Okay, so the Orc Warboss on Wyvern is in Resin for £50.

So any old metal Elector Counts on Griffons I can get hold of for less than that count as winning

Even for a dwarf his head seems low in comparison to his shoulders.

True. Then again he is holding both of his arms up. Really up, from the shoulder up. None of the other Dwarfs are in such a position.

His head is also really far forwards

Recent rumors ...

A. GW's team of developers have begun to revisit their initial plan for the game, yet still planning to release the 9 core armies first.
B. The setting and lore are being introduced over the course of the 9 arcane journals that are being produced.
C. Beastmen are possibly getting dropped from W:AoS and shifted to The Old World.

I strongly doubt this rumour, at least in this form. Beastmen are a fairly popular army, albeit one not particularly well supported. I really struggled seeing them flat out drop a faction from their main game, to add it to the niche specialist game.

The rumour I've heard is simply that beasty boys are the next army coming after dwarves, and the local stores have said thats caused an uptick in selling what AoS beastment there are.

I'm also somewhat cautious about chatter about "revisiting the game". Its been two months, and they've only released one army past the initial release, and a handful of stuff for that initial release. We know dwarfs are coming, but we haven't even got four full factions out yet. I don't see the developers revisiting ANYTHING until they get at least half way and see how the money flows and interests stays.

Credit where credit is due, GW JUST announced Beast, leaving AoS!

Quote

The Beasts of Chaos are leaving Warhammer Age of Sigmar, but they’ll be back in the future… or rather, the past. Yes, the Beastmen are returning to their old feeding grounds in the World of Legend and Warhammer: The Old World.

Quite a big shake up actually.
