To me the TOW talk is annoying. It's a system I have 0 interest in. If I wanted to talk about TOW, I would go to a dedicated TOW forum. Instead, I am on a dedicated AoS rumour thread. It's a bit of a quieter period for sure, but there's more than enough to talk and speculate about in AoS. Short stories, black library books, the core book slowly getting to everyone are bound to have interesting lore implications for 4th, and with the Chaos Duardin content giving a lot more credibility to the leaks. Indices hitting in just a week, and we've seen there can be some newer lore on the warscrolls. The Hel Crown campaign and which minis are being revealed next. And that's just the rumour side of things, not even going into the lore itself, Spearhead, more and more rules coming out, etc. It's just that some people keep steering this thread to TOW instead of at the very least talking about AoS when rumours are on a lower pace. It's not like we haven't had quieter rumour periods before, in the past they were at least filled with AoS talk and not an adjacent system which has not even that much to do with AoS. 13 5 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Kim Woof-Woof Posted Thursday at 09:23 AM Share Posted Thursday at 09:23 AM I quite like it when things degenerate into wildly off-topic banter. I'm never happier than when obscenities are being thrown around. ... which is why I should never be made moderator of anything. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kronos Posted Thursday at 11:06 AM Share Posted Thursday at 11:06 AM (edited) Call me sucker for all things Warhammer - Old World Enriches AoS. The Return of Kroak in the realms, the Return of Ushoran, the ascension of the Aelven Pantheon based on heroes (I like this more and more because it almost sets the Old World Elf Gods as Titans to there Polytheism). The root of that Lore is TOW. So yes, I want to see Ungrim the Slayer King and Ungrim the Avatar of Grimnir (Wishlist 😎) The best of AoS is firmly entrenched in TOW Lore, I'm more gutted there isn’t more cross Over with the miniature line. And Honestly, If I could I’d even go further and ask for some sort pf Either time jumping or even a Reflection memory realms where AoS can Collide with Old World, like a mirror dimension. “We gotta go Back Gotrek, Back, to the Future” If there something I want to see less of in this thread frankly its rules. I’m here for Lore, Narrative and Miniatures. But If you guys are having fun, I’m having fun.

Beliman Posted Thursday at 11:23 AM Share Posted Thursday at 11:23 AM (edited) As a Horus Heresy and 40k fan, I enjoy when there are multiple bridges between the two settings. My main issue is with things that are "outside" of the game (mainly community) Edited Thursday at 11:23 AM by Beliman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freypal Posted Thursday at 11:59 AM Share Posted Thursday at 11:59 AM I enjoy the crossover to be honest, it's nice seeing how things transition from one universe to another - likewise as above with HH and 40k. I agree though with the wish for no kind of tribalism on the matter. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentSentinel Posted Thursday at 01:03 PM Share Posted Thursday at 01:03 PM Personally I don't really mind the TOW talk too much even though I have no intention buying into it myself. I tend to find the pages of rules discussions a bit more grating, especially on the occasions when they start becoming argumentative. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToW is just another derail possibility, but I don't see it that much different from 30k in how closely related to 40k is. IMO, once (if) ToW starts getting new models that could match into AoS armies the distance between both would be related as they could be cool proxies/ kitbash projects. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think this is correct, the nature of this thread has always been that it talks about the new hotness, releases, wild speculation about new stuff. There’s never been very much discussion of lore, short stories, novels, except insofar as they might be taken as signs of new releases, even in the quieter periods. So no, I don’t think some minor discussion of TOW, particularly in how it related to schedules, has had any meaningful impact on that side of things. It’s the rumour thread being the rumour thread, and that includes getting antsy and mildly feverish when there’s no ‘leaks’ or news of a preview event in the next few weeks. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a nutshell ToW is the "Horus Heresy of WHFB" : they share the same settings and type of game (rank'n'file) ToW and Aos share really a bunch of whfb kits and some characthers which have been elevated to Gods in AoS.

This feels the developers directly telling us their design intentions for every army. I can say that "Faith, Formations, Firepower" is definitely 100% accurate for Cities, given the rules I have seen. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vasshpit Posted Thursday at 02:24 PM Share Posted Thursday at 02:24 PM It's funny how a flood of frustrations are expressed about discussing TOW leading to discussion about how a person doesn't like TOW. 😄🤪 I'm over this drip feed new edition content already... and it's still a ways to go...😒 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the best mini to represent the faction would be a regular glutton or irongut but given that those minis are fairly dated (and possibly due for an update in the near future), WHC might have made the call not to draw attention to them.
