Ejecutor Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 3 hours ago, Kronos said: My issue with this is that For Bretonnia/Empire and orcs I understand giving them new named Characters. Human factions will be limited by Time and age more so than any other faction, Not sure how long orcs and grobis live but they do have a blank slate in the current time period so new characters for Greenskins is kind of needed. Elves and Chaos however really have unlimited timeframes. Dwarfs are a little more stretched out in regards to time and possibly the most Lore accurate from what has been shown so Far. They Have some good Established Characters return without giving us the bggest Caharcters of the Age, Kragg and Alriksson. Burlok is also a well established Character in lore who had a mini, Who seems to be getting an update as his Old Mini hadn’t come back for Sale (yet). Chaos has a Legion of Characters they could have dipped into, brought back, or shown at earlier part of their Campaign and ascendence. Seeing Young Ungrim had been the Highlight of Old World for me so far. I’d like to see more of that. Established Characters with spiffy new models, or if needed old Character Models Return, but updated is better 😂. I get your sentiment about HH when it started, and it was nice to see some new Characters written in. Some however took over 5 years to get a miniature, Endryd took Nearly 10! And Some Very important Lore Characters have not appeared and some of those “New” Characters still have no Miniature. It’s not that I hate the random new Characters, I just feel its giving them more work and taking away focus from all the brilliant and much loved Characters from Lore. I hope none of this is coming across as either bitter or sharp, I just love seeing the old Fan favs come back in some way or other. It will be interesting to see what they decide to do with High Elves. The thing is that is not the same setting anymore. If they just take what they had and refresh it, they will receive complaints about WHFB being killed to release exactly the same a few years later. This is a way to remind you that is not the same. Once that is clear and established, I think we will see those good ol characters returning on mass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Kim Woof-Woof Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 I've only just been made aware that they're bringing Galrauch back in the Old World. Surely they're not going to drag that dreadful old model out again!? Bleedin' typical.... the Dwarfs get a re-release of every good model they've ever had, and us Chaos worshippers get Galrauch and the Chaos Ogres.

The Lost Sigmarite Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 10 hours ago, cyrus said: So It seems that AoS StD and ToW WoC will share 3 kits : chaos chariot chaos lord chaos manticore I’d say these 3 shared models + the chaos sorcerer are all prime candidates for a refresh. Chaos lord and sorcerer most of them because they’re foot heroes. I hope they also refresh the chariot even though that kit still looks good, unlikely but not impossible since they want to absolutely separate the AoS and TOW ranges. I don’t know for the manticore. STD already has a brand new mount option with the Krakadrak that kinda replaces the manticore for the chaos lord. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as we know Chorfs will take the slot of BoC in the Chaos grand alliance. Design wise there was an hint/speculation of a new faction of “beasts of destruction”. Time will tell ! 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michu Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 (edited) A lot of the TOW characters didn't get minis. Kiknik, Thorgrimm, Burloksson, Wyrmslayer...

Nezzhil Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 These TOW heroes will came later during the edition. It happens with all the FW games. We are still in the first phase of a FW game, next phase is a campaign book and start adding heroes and special units. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer this (I can always kitbash) than modern "no model, no rules". Very oldschool which is the point of TOW. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michu Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 Besides, people noticed that one of the Foot Knights looks like Wyrmslayer's art, you can make Thorgrimm out of the king from the shieldbearers kit + some book and Kiknik is just a Wolf Rider with a trophy rack and white wolf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nezzhil Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 So... If I understand correctly, it is a rework of the business Underworlds model what it is coming. And that was the reason of the Wintermaw season cancelation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that was the reason of the Wintermaw season cancelation. Yeah. All look into that. A new game model with minis integrated into AoS ala Warcry. That's why all the previous ones were moved into Legends. And I don't know if gameplay/ rules wise it will have a change as well. That's my bet.

That was one of the problems of the game, a mix of new things and proxies. The best approach is to be like Necromunda or BB. Warcry and Kill Team for new units. Underworlds and Necromunda to expand the universe without restrictions. Edited August 26 by Nezzhil 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is based on @Nighthaunt Noob info but without forgetting the real info that LGS are providing, that the actual Underworlds is not a mandatory game anymore. I am trying to be open minded, I am an Underworlds collector since the first release. I will be sad if the game is cancelled, but I understand the reasons to do that. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not good with emojis so I'll provide some verbal teasers instead. - already previously shared that of course rats and the golden boys will be facing off - a character will be lugging his "potbelly" around - rawr - evil gimlis aren't the only "herald" of something new we'll see; in fact there is a "herald" tie in with two other coming warbands There's a couple other things in the pipeline - 1 chaos, 1 destruction Going to throw out some guesses: For Stormcast vs. Skaven, I am expecting Stormcast Ruination chamber vs. Clan Skryre or Moulder (since Skaven already had Verminus, Eshin and Pestilens-themed warbands). Potbelly makes me think of a potbelly pig, so maybe an Ironjawz warband with a pig theme. Rawr, IMO, suggests dinosaurs. Maybe Kroxigors? Chaos Dwarves confirmation is nice. For their non-Duardin component, I could imagine Hobgrots, human "servants" or magical constructs. Maybe weird pets. That leaves 3 more warbands if there are 8 this season. "Heralds" makes me think of all those heralds of the chaos gods that just got removed from the store, so maybe one of them will get a Chaos demon warband. I think it would have to be Nurgle or Khorne. Or maybe a Warband with one herald each for the four gods, if we are really lucky. The only other Herald I can think of is the Knight-Heraldor, who might pop up in the Stormcast warband, although I don't believe it. Maybe, though, another warband has a connection to the "harbingers" from Dawnbringers. For the missing Destruction warband, I would not expect Kruleboyz (just had a warband), Gitz (have a lot of warbands), or Sons of Behemat (I just think they would not be able to do it; they already struggle with Ogors in Underworlds). So that leaves Ogor Mawtribes or something unexpected. I hope it's the latter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
