Baron I_oyd Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Good evening/day everyone, today I bring news regarding specialist game studios. With the succes of Old World..GW considering reviving Thrones of Chaos Campaign and finish the story...all depends on two things: Thrones of Decay sales and Old World needs to continue gather revenue in similar style with remaining core factions. Old World is now considered on same level of importance as Horus Heresy for the studio...it was never planned to go into this huge scale by the studio..but this changed a lot. 5 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baron Klatz Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 I mean that’s more than a simple retcon, you’re looking at tons of characters completely flipped around like Elspeth’s entire rivalry with Gelt dropped because he wasn’t born yet and all the connecting elements to the Storm of Chaos thrown out the window. I could see them making a brand new campaign that rewrites Tamurkhan & his battles with the Chorfs & Cathay as a way to give them something to do in the Great War but “finishing the story” just isn’t possible and smacks of a wishlist because of Thrones of Decay’s superfluous connections to it. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarakUrbaz Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Also given that according to Rick Priestly (the writer of Tamurkhan), the Throne of Chaos series was an attempt to reboot the setting in a different way before being canceled in favor of End Times. That means there's zero chance we'd get the actual original intended ending. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand how this will work unless they totally start from scratch, but I'm all for it. I'm a big fan of this type of supplements, so sad that AoS doesn't have a side-campaign from the specialist studio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a good accurated wish, but the motivación is only a wish. The return of this book, or something related to It is very easy to predict because It is one of the theatres of the Core Rule. The second book was calles the Battle of the Blackfire Pass with dwarfs, empire and greenskins. That book was not a secret, It was shown during a convention.

Throne of Chaos was one of the last ditch attempts to turn WHFB sales around, along with Storm of Magic. It failed and it’s been moved on from. There’s simply no reason GW would take any TOW success and feel resurrecting a failed project, whose author has departed GW, would be the best route. I’d believe Dreadfleet was returning before I’d buy this rumour. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chikout Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 I don't want to dismiss this rumour out of hand but there are too many things that don't line up. Since when did the GW studio care about the success of the video game? Also I can't believe that anyone would know what the plans for the old world's distant future are but not know what the next release will be.

But I was talking about Tamurkhan campaign for TOW and how it fits with the ongoing story. I get the point to release Tamurkhan again, re-sell again it's miniatures. But I'm interested to see how are going to do that: A simple reprint of the book for collectors? A reprint with updated rules for Tamurkhan/Nuln armies and Chorf Heroes? Maybe they can continue the story with his other brothers... Maybe a full rewritte to fit TOW narrative and updated rules? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be part of this new "Paladins" unit, due to the Paladins crescent moon. It could even be the Lord Vigilor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not something good enough to move the game entirely around it, but just another extra way to measure it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandlemad Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Tbh this rumour sounds like it was made up by someone who isn’t aware of what’s been stated already about the trajectory of TOW and also doesn’t have any knowledge of Tamurkhan or the plans for Thrones of Chaos books.

Ejecutor Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 What do we expect for today's preorders? It gotta be DB 6, right? The lack of DB short story made me doubt it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s either DB 6 or Dwarves in TOW. I doubt there will be any 40k/KT related preorder so soon after this week’s Orks and Custodes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. The next book would have had nothing to do with the throne of chaos series, as it was already previewed before it was canned so we know exactly what it was all about. They already have models being re-released for TOW which would likely have been part of book two of this series and they have nothing to do with the next part of Throne of Chaos.

It is almost imposible to start a Greenskins army right now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
