The Lost Sigmarite Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 For new Beastmen, they're gonna get some Old World only named characters via Forge World and that will be it. The bad luck of BoC players cannot be allowed to end, or else the thread of prophecy will be severed. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoghurtKobold Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Why is there a photo of wood elves with old treeman sculpt? What about that Plastic kit which is now in Sylvaneth range? I hope they are not wasting production and shelf space on model that was replaced a decade ako during the existence of old WHFB. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azamar Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 I wonder if there’s a link between the kits rumoured to be leaving the cities of sigmar range and those that are featuring in the old world? Might explain why darkling covens are rumoured to be sticking around whilst wanderers and Phoenix temple are going (but presumably the kits are staying around for use in the old world) of course the dwarves still seem to be going against this 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrimDork Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 I’d been hoping for a reprint of island of blood, but todays article makes me question that now, with skaven not being a main faction? Hoping I’m wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ogregut Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Exciting news about The Old World, suprised but happy to see high elves will be part of the focus. Going from the pics I'm making the following assumptions Chariots will be on the same size bases as they were in 8th edition. The following kits will be returning Orcs boar boyz Orc chariot Goblin wolf riders High elf sky cutter chariot White lions High elves from island of blood Dwarf warriors Knights of the realm Bretonnian bowmen and men at arms Wood elf wardancers Wood elf treeman Intresting to note the factions not being focused on are factions with models pretty much all still available to be able to build a army for The Old World. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the rumour is to believe Wanderers and Phoenix temple are removed from CoS, so all those will probably go to the Old World. It seems GW doesn't want to cross-platform AoS and Old World miniatures. For the previewed good factions this has almost no impact, but for the evil factions (except Tomb Kings) this has an impact. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the plastic treeman was released during 8th edition, but that one is now firmly in the Sylvaneth miniature range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is all marketing That said, they do use the Irondrakes in two photos, who're only six months older than the plastic Treeman. But it probably is just marketing for a big Made-to-Order wave and a lot "gee whizz remember these CLASSIC sculpts? BUY NOW, don't miss out!" but I reckon nobody is going to tell you that you can't use the newer sculpt. Hell I wouldn't be shocked if the actual books did end up using the plastic Treeman. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lost Sigmarite Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Beastmen screams to me "dual release AoS/Old World". Maybe that's why they took so long to get an update. They were waiting for that perfect window of opportunity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were waiting for that perfect window of opportunity. Let's hope so! But for the moment GW is really doing their best to keep the mini's of both systems seperated. So a dual release seems currently unlikely. Which is odd, because a new range that could be used for Beasts of Chaos and Beastmen Brayherds sounds like a good financial move. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While it may not be advertised as dual system, doesnt mean people wouldn't use new models in AoS, as proxies if need be. If they do re-release the old goblin wolf riders, I won't be using them, I'll use the new AoS wolf riders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ofcourse, I am certainly planning to re-use some AoS stuff and certainly a lot of 3D printed mini's from Last Sword, Highland miniatures and AoW. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halandaar Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 I guess what I want to know about Old World is; will any units from WFB that got directly replaced in AoS use their new models or the old ones? They say in the article that there won't be rules for Age of Sigmar models unless the unit existed in WFB8th - that to me suggests that the Warriors of Chaos faction will use the new Warriors, Knights and Chosen etc from the AoS Slaves to Darkness range, because they are the same unit as existed in Fantasy, just upscaled slightly and modernised. But it remains vague. It would certainly make more sense than putting an older/worse version of the same unit back into production concurrently with the new one, and I feel like the previous announcement about base sizes going up was actually less about "dynamic posing" as they claimed and more to accommodate stuff like the new Chaos Warriors (and eventually Saurus Warriors). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matrindur Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 (edited) What I think is interesting is that nearly all main factions aren't really in AoS. Orcs&Goblins and High Elves have equivalent factions with Warclans and Lumineth but are different Old Dwarfs and Woodelves are still in CoS but questionable how long So the only factions who are really in both is Warriors of Chaos and Beastman Meanwhile from the getting rules but not part of the narrative crowd 5 out of 7 are in AoS and both Chaos Dwarfs and Dark Elves are rumoured to be coming Edited May 23, 2023 by Matrindur 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only interesting thing they could do with such an obvious thing is for it to be part of rubble on some non-chaos mini‘s base. As for the system, that‘s impossible to tell. It does remind of the Chaos upgrade sprue for rhinos and predators but it‘s about as vanilla as any chaos thingy can be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willange Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Wait, what about Kislev? They did that whole preview for old world for kislev way back when and now they’re not in the list of supported factions, so I’m decently confused. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
