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...

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.

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 · « **Reply #283 on:** April 19, 2024, 05:13:21 AM »

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 · « **Reply #286 on:** April 21, 2024, 01:27:06 PM »

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 · « **Reply #289 on:** April 22, 2024, 06:32:05 PM »

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 · « **Reply #290 on:** April 25, 2024, 08:20:29 AM »

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?

Dazgrim · « **Reply #291 on:** April 28, 2024, 01:15:40 PM »

Wild stab in the dark, 32/40mm

It has become strangely quiet already - no new news from GW regarding the Old World in quite some time.

Gankom · « **Reply #293 on:** June 21, 2024, 04:05:45 PM »

Its not that strange really. The new edition of Age of Sigmar is coming out and they just finished the release of the new edition of 40k. Both those tentpoles are going to suck up ALL the oxygen in the room while they get it sorted. It would be nice to see more Old World news, I'm eagerly awaiting my dwarfs dangit, but I'm not to surprised to see not much happening on the specialist games front.

Warlord · « **Reply #294 on:** June 22, 2024, 12:25:42 PM »

It is annoying it’s so quiet.
Just some little tid bits would have been nice.

I doubt we'll hear anything other than SKAVENTIDE until September now.

They're desperate not to have a niche game step on the toes of one of their flagship products.

The Skaven figures do look great, and I'm sure many will end up in TOW armies anyway.

I will never understand the appeal of sigmarines. They look so dorky.

They are only good for a better scaled Sanguinary Guard army.

I think yall crazy. The latest generation of stormcast especially just ooze classic paladin energy. Depending on paint scheme they look like they just stepped out of a Souls game or a D&D party.

The skaven are also just phenomenal, and I've already planning to mesh them into my existing fantasy armies. Let the rats flow!

No generation of Sigmarines look like fantasy. Death to AoS
