Nezzhil Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 50 minutes ago, Overread said: IT might mean GW is repackaging it, I note that when mine arrived its very "odd" for a GW model because its in a small box and the parts are already clipped off the sprue to make the box smaller. Further its very Chaos - it has the 8 point star. For a generic spell its very Chaos themed so perhaps they will re-design it with a more neutral design and box it up in a normal box. Perhaps in a fresh expansion pack this summer? Or some of the generic spells are going to "rotate" in the next General Handbook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overread Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 I could potentially see that happening, but it would be risky; esp if GW starts rotating endless spells and making new ones that basically do the same thing. Spells are still models and wargamers are not card gamers. Card gamers are mostly happy with cycling of cards and abilities; but wargamers put hours into their model before it even hits the table Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frowny Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 The rumor engine for the hammer thing is "This is it. This is the Rumour Engine image that’s going to catapult you into internet fame." Kinda fits the Hammer throwing artillery rumor pretty cleanly, actually. Underlining and bolding is mine. Not that it always matches, but at least for the 'giant surprise', it seems like sometimes it does lead somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPjr Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Some more THE OLD WORLD teasers... https://www.warhammer-community.com/2020/02/06/cartography-in-the-old-worldgw-homepage-post-1fw-homepage-post-1/ and it’s a map of the old world with a few heraldic designs. The four names they give don’t offer too much help in pinning down the when of the game as you can find characters from just a few hundred years into the empire up to the 2000s that could fit. The fact they’re working on this kind of stuff now does suggest a more narrative/campaign approach. and also is making me pine for Mighty Empires again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talas Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 So the factions in the map are completely new? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dukeus Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Yeah my next army will be an empire faction. Seems like Reikland, Middenland, Averland?, Wasteland? So far. Or at least some dynasty out of that region Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPjr Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Bit random but it could then be set Roughly in the early 2400s, Marienburg/the Wasteland becomes an independent city state, Wilhelm III (the Wise) becomes emperor and Waagh! Grom invaded the Empire... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koradrel of Chrace Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 I wonder if they would have Eltharion as a character then, to then tie him into the Lumineth's release? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoseman Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 I'm very curious of what goes at last with this old world thing. There are lots and lots of miniatures that doesn't sell anymore (at least on GW stores) and there are entire armys without miniatures so don't know what will GW do to let us play the old world. And thinking of the old world a city comes to my mind... Mordheim.... I know is not the thing of the old world but damn how I want a new version of that game... But back to rumors... don't you all think or feel that his old world thing with the "3 years"wait is a bit rare? I dont think that we have to wait 3 years to get our hands on it. Maybe those 3 years is till they release everything? But said that I wonder how will interact AoS releases with TOW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beastmaster Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 I still find the whole idea of killing off an extremely popular setting, building up a completely new setting, then re-releasing the old setting 5 years later completely insane.

A lot of people hyping up the old world online are mostly coming from Total War: Warhammer. Its hard to say how much this will translate into real players. 7 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could love the setting, but have gotten bored or the game or the release schedule. The setting is not the only factor, and during the End Times - when the game received a lot of releases and attention from GW - had a lot of interest. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
