Remember it’s a small team doing that stuff under the specialist studio. They don’t have anywhere near the resources like the main studios.

You’re looking at something like full Kislev in a year but it’ll take up any other TOW release for that year.

I didn't mean that, but if GW couldn't release today because of logistic and calendar, we can suppose that they could do it in the future, in one year when a Core Game will not require the half of the logistic, like AOS or 40k

Getting a Bonesplitterz and Spiderfang tome would be the dream #nevergonnahappen.

#nevergonnahappen. (again for BS)

Given that the game seems to be doing well, a second edition launch box with those two factions would be pretty amazing. 

I would assume they have start the whole invasion of Kislev since that basically the horus heresy to the old world 

having Norsca (or Warrior of chaos) vs Kislev would be a good match up

I don't know if The Old World will be on a 3-year-cycle like the main games, but I'm fully expecting the re-release of old (supported) armies to take most of this year, leaving campaigns and what not for next year. Maybe then we'll see Kislev and Cathay...

Probably devil in the details like not all the BoC are going extinct(such as dragon-Ogors), dwarves don’t count as safe if Dispossessed are gone, Bonesplitterz have their own monkey’s paw, etc.

That’s why it’s best to just wait for the indexes than start getting in a panic over what we can only speculate on.

Given the continuing confused reactions from @Whitefang the future of BoC doesn't look that bright. If they are dropping BoC I really hope they give them an index even if it's similar in style to the old world factions. GW could even say they won't be allowed in official tournaments as most other events just ignore that. People were still playing Brettonians and Tomb Kings for years after AoS launched. At the very least, I'd like to see them get the chance to take part in AoS4.

I feel like if an entire faction in AoS is getting executed, it would have been one of the first bits of information we received.

Dragging it out would be truly diabolical.

I agree. They should have made that announcement as soon as they announced 4th edition but if they have to do it the announcement should be:

'We are sorry to announce that Beasts of Chaos will not be recieving a 4th edition battletome and the range will be moving to the Old World. If you wish to continue playing your army with your friends in 4th edition we will be releasing a battle pack for the faction but it will not be recieving balance updates in the future and as such will not be a legal army in official tournaments. We are excited to bring the army to the old world later this year complete with several new models."

Any way they phrase it the news is awful but if they'd shared the news in March it would have given people time to rebase their army, choose a different army or go and play Conquest so by the time the new edition launches there isn't a shadow hanging over it. 

The longer they wait, especially with rumours floating around, the worse it will be.

Probably the reason right there. They’re waiting until the 1st quarter financials are officially over before they break the news on whatever the change-up to BoC is so not to hurt sales by even 1%.

It does seem a sour note that Dispossessed are left out entirely. Hopefully they’ll get an Ironweld refresh to be closer to CoS aesthetics, would suck otherwise for players to be told the armies they just made are only good on squares(with double the numbers) and nothing else.

I think you’re onto something here. That something is about City dwarfs being closer to ironweld than anything else…

I think Cities is going to change its subfactions. It’s no longer gonna be humans, dispossessed, darkling covens - we have to start thinking in terms of freeguild, ironweld, wilder corps as the new fubfactions.

this, and i think the main conflict in the new book is meant to be "native peoples vs. azyrites" rather than "antics with all the races of the realms".  i mean, tahlia and hammerhal as a whole is hugely representative of this shift.

And don’t forget the electrifying personalities of the Devoted of Sigmar/Order of Azyr!

We need that angle for both higher up Azyrite authorities watching over the native settlers and the links to those who push themselves to try and be chosen for Stormcast Eternals.

Nah it's just they aren't able to release them at the moment. 

Super news 🙂!

The scope of the project has changed. 😉

One of the most unique sentences mentioned in a Warhammer Community ever. The future looks very bright for TOW. That said I don't want it to be treated in the same way as AoS or 40K. Let those two games use the majority of GW resources.

For TOW 2 Arcane Journals released per 3 months and after that Campaign books. In the same way as Hail Caesar / Blackpowder does it. Zooming in on certain major campaigns / battles. Please no recycle of the rules per 3 years.

A couple of plastic sets and resin characters and lots of books is perfect for TOW.

About AoS. If BoC is removed and the crazy idea that KS and FS are souped, it's time that GW does an article about it. Like they did with CoS (removal of certain units) and with TOW (which factions are core and which are legacy).

The confusing thing is it seemed like the scope of the project did change but in a negative way. Kislev and Cathay were originally said to be coming to the game but then weren't but now maybe are again?? With a project like this it definitely does make a certain amount of sense to start small, guage demand and then go from there but it doesn't seem to have been a very smooth process. 

I am very curious what 'the scope of the project has changed' actually means. It would be great if it meant adding support for the other legacy factions in the future or doing 3 plastic kits pet faction instead of one.

It did feel a lot like the “Tomb Kings are classified as Evil race” to “Oh we just meant Core Race, haha!” and that ended up happening anyway.

They were too blunt, had to back pedal with positivity but things still happened as they said(in this case the “not in the foreseeable future” likely meaning 2027 & 2028 releases)

Skaven will be more integrated in next book.
Orruk Warclans will be more integrated in next book.
Ogors will be more integrated in next book.
Slaves to Darkness and Darkoath will be more integrated in next book.
DoK and Malerion aelves will be more integrated in next book.

The future is a new way of making factions after cleaning the "bad design heritage" of the actual system. More variety, more integrated, more possibilities and more deep lore. I am hyped about the future.
