I am glad the mortal realms exist, much more interesting imo than fantasy earth Both have their place imo. I prefer TOW with a little more AoS to it though (Tabletop Tactics has a battle report for TOW up with an incredibly well converted Wood Elf army, it's just amazing!)

Hollow Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 (edited) I think the 2024 July half-year financial report will be an interesting read. The previous couple of quarters had the launch of 40K 10th edition. In July we will see how a six-month period with two specialist game releases (Imperialis and ToW) compared to a period with a new 40k Edition. GW has been expanding what "Warhammer" is, they have moved towards having 4 clearly defined "Warhammer Settings" - 40K,AoS,HH and ToW with 40K and AoS having 3 "other" games within their settings. Kill Team, Necormunda and Quest for 40k. Warcry, Underworlds and Quest for AoS. If there was a particular system (Underworlds for example) that was deemed to have "run its course" I could see GW removing a system to make space for a new one. An "AoS Necromunda" type game.

GloomkingWortwazi Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 (edited) Dumb 4chan post aside, I wouldn't be surprised to see Underworlds wrap up with this upcoming season. Edited April 9 by GloomkingWortwazi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure those rumours are fake and just recycled thoughts and wishlisting. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Gw were to expand the production of mini-minis then I think I would prefer them to expand upon LI and have full EPIC. If something like Underworlds were to be retired/replaced I would love to see a new fantasy naval game although it has next to 0% happening due to the Dreadfleet debacle.

Harlequins, FS, WHU gone ? Legions Imperialis being a massive flop ? GW cutting down AdMech ? Grey Knights being lumped in Agents of the Imperium ? That's a veeeeeeeery long stretch at best, and it sounds made up to generate buzz. And "Chorfs not happening because they look too antisemitic" no. First, Whitefang said Chorfs were in the pipeline and he's infinitely more reliable than some anonymous 4chan rando. Second, people are intelligent enough to know the difference between something inspired by ancient Babylonians and actual modern day Jewish people.

Honestly, if the rumours about splitting revenues from each game are true, I don't see something that crazy about WHU being retired. Also, about chorfs. He meant Antisigmarites. The autocorrect struck for sure. Edited April 9 by Ejecutor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope it doesn't. I love Underworlds and that it's something different and I feel it really adds to the AoS lore and worldbuilding. Giving each warband a complete out of the box deck was a great move, but there's this weird dichotomy where it feels like starter sets are releasing at breakneck pace and seasons fly by, but each season doesn't really have that many warbands to play around with. I'm just hoping for another Fyreslayers warband, or a remaster of the Shadespire one so I can give it another go. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They mentioned in yesterday's post an upcoming article about Skaven's lore, maybe not the one for today, but it could be easily one for tomorrow. My bet, Command Points explained.

Aramis Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 Underworlds has been brilliant for minis. I've never played the game, but have loads of the warbands, mostly to use in Warcry. I really hope they keep up the small team units. Love the black library minis and units too, but Underworlds is much better value. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GloomkingWortwazi Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 (edited) I'm not saying it would make me happy if they cancel Underworlds (I'm very into it, the system and the minis) - I just wouldn't be surprised if it runs it's course soon, especially given the lean into unique WarCry warbands for factions over chaos cultist warbands. I'm fairly confident it's financials are viable due to the minis, but it's pretty spotty as far as play goes in almost every region I have been for an extended period, incuding some overseas locations. Makes me wonder how much longer they want to ship cardboard and cardstock around for it if people aren't playing it very much (if that's actually true).

And you are right, there's still much to do with the core factions before doing legacy ones (GW pls I want new HE base troops that don't look terrible) even if I maintain that in the context of the Old World (that is, the actual place) Vampires make the most sense (geographicaly and to give the Empire an antagonist to have their classico with) as the 1st legacy faction to get an arcane journal.

For me they key would be if they allow the minis to be used in AoS or they don't anymore. I think it is a game sustained by AoS collectors/ players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even without AoS rules people would proxy them any way since they're usually either something really unique or much better poses for existing heroes.
