I am fully intending to base everything on rounds and get movement trays. Chaos at least seems likely to be useable in both systems so I get more bang for my buck. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's 400 years prior to Franzyboi and WFB's setting. I wouldn't expect any of your old favourite characters popping their heads. Relying how much 'play' then have, we might see baby Teclis and Tyrion in ~2150 - but chances are we're at a point in WFB lore where apart from the gods being worshipped who became much more 'active' in AOS, it'll be much more 'independant' than we're expecting. At best, expect a lot of nods to Sigmar or Grungi I’m a Tomb Kings fan, all of my faves are “alive” and well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think they were for LotR, iirc for the War of the Ring expansion perhaps? I couldn’t see them on their website now tho. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MitGas Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Looks pretty much confirmed to be set around the time before Asavar Kul and Magnus the Pious fought for Kislev. Which is cool as that could mean we'll at least get some decent Chaos minis. Engra Deathsword, a new Arbaal, Valnir the Reaper when he was alive... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kugane Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 I do recall some 9th age friends saying that if you put rounds together the block size will be larger and thus against WHFB rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posts like this remind me why I only play with my friends who are chill... If someone builds a lego Lord of Change on a hexagon base it is all cool on our end 🤣 So I am looking forward to jamming my chaos warriors onto a movement tray and calling it a day. I think if they don't cost a ForgeWorld premium I would also love to build a Kislev or Araby army and run them as cities so the reverse will be true as well and I will add some squares to AOS. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverstu Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Really delighted to hear about this -brilliant that we can dust off our old armies, I never rebased my dwarf army -I just never thought they truly belonged in AoS. I imagine they will maybe rerelease some of the old WFB kits that still hold up -much like how they did for Middle Earth. Really hoping for Norse Dwarfs at some point, they could replace the old core models ..but it all sounds cool. Might finish building that Goblobber I have ferreted away.. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Under the Mountain Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Need to step away from the forum more often, got TOW news as a result! Just like @silverstuI never bothered to rebase my Dwarfs so I already have an army ready to go. Looking forward to some new modern models of the beared variety.

Ogregut Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 I would imagine the earliest we will see it is 3/4 years away and by then resin could be a thing of the past and forgeworld/specialist games could be all plastic by then. Also it was only from 6th edition did really big units come into the game. 4th Ed is one of my fave editions of the game and 8 or 12 man unit was common for infantry and 5 for a mounted unit. I would also imagine they will release a ravaging hordes type booklet with get you by army lists. I can't wait and will start a TOW fund now ready to drop a fortune when it comes out! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acrozatarim Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Given the cascade of rumours before Dominion, I’m honestly kinda surprised we haven’t seen any real leaks from the Warclans and Stormcast battetomes yet. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's been nothing other than speculation really based on the new narrative focus on the Dawnbreaker Crusades and some of the recent models like Cursed City heroes + the endless spell hunters from Broken Realms. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean there was this news:https://www.warhammer-community.com/2021/07/21/square-bases-and-kislev-ascendant-see-your-questions-about-warhammer-the-old-world-answered/ So I am expecting to see a lot of Freeguild Generals riding polar bears in the future. But for AOS proper... I don't think anyone knows exactly what moves they are making regarding Cities. I am more interested in hearing what they are planing regarding Dispossessed if all these Soup rumours turn out to be true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urauloth Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Very excited about the new edition of Kill Team. I wonder if we might see some of its features migrate over to Warcry at some point in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgeworld does resin in part because of the volume of minis they move. If you arent selling tens of thousands of a sculpt than the investment in molds and changing the tooling in the factory to make 37 Squig Gobbas or that version of fifth version of Gandolf standing next to a bush doesn't make sense. I think Forgeworld will keep doing resin for the forseeable future. 40k and AoS are big enough to do all their stuff in plastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry, it's moving towards you at a rate of 3 orange hexagons and 2 green triangles per turn. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only because it will make mine feel less special... 😭 Although, I am leaning more heavily towards the themes, lore and aesthetic of Araby. But I am currently going with a snow theme for my armies so Kislev would be a much better fit alongside my Stormcast for a City Army... Oh decisions for a hobby I can hardly afford, luckily Forge World will price me right out of my plans 😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freypal Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 All the news, rumours and uncertainty is making it hard to commit at the moment to anything new. Like many above I have a large WFB Dwarf army on squares (along with Beastmen, Orcs and Golbins and Tomb Kings!) I had been toying with the idea of re-basing and trying to shoehorn into AoS as proxies but at least now I know I can hold off and hopefully go all in on a new Grungni faction instead (please be true!). So great news on the Old World front. I also really fancy a purely human based Cities army too but given how old the sculpts are and the rumours of a rebrand as Dawnbringers and conversion into AoS Imperial Guard I'm really reluctant to commit anything to that now. AoS lacks a grounded, regular joe human faction so hopefully there is some news on this front too soon. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgeworld premium has eroded with rising GW general prices. I was thinking of using some 30k Mechanicus infantry, and they would have turned out cheaper than the units they'd have the warscrolls of. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
