Moldek Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 I wonder if this project is not as much « bring warhammer fantasy back » as it is « bring total war warhammer to the tabletop ». A subtle distinction that could really orient the design in a different way than what fantasy fans might want 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A subtle distinction that could really orient the design in a different way than what fantasy fans might want 🤔 IMO, there is a misconception about The Old World and"Fantasy Fans". My last fantasy game was over 16 years ago and I don't feel diferent from a dude that is just playing Vermintide or Total War, or a girl that is reading the Gotrek omnibus. I don't know why but some people think that, because they started playing in one of the "true editions", they have some type of right over all other Fantasy Fans, and imo, that's selfish and naive.

I don't know why but some people think that, because they started playing in one of the "true editions", they have some type of right over all other Fantasy Fans, and imo, that's selfish and naive. As often on the internet, I think it’s mostly that people have very different definitions of the same term. Obviously an oldhammer fan will picture something different than a total war fan when they read « we’re bringing the old world back ». People then get agravated because the most incendiary opinions are the most noticeable. And then it devolves into « us vs them ». I have no skin in the game personally, just observing that people’s expectations will shape their reactions. when I said « fantasy fans » I just meant people that want a return to the old school game, I didn’t mean to imply « true fans » or anything like that.

obaobaboss Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Right, but I think it would be an important element to the OW game to tone these fantasy elements down (and the historical bits up) to make it more different/unique in style and flavour. I am probably guilty to see my version of the old world as the true version... if I don't like the ice stuff (because it doesn't fit with my interpretation of the background materials of the old world), I can convert it on the miniatures and ignore/bend it on the background. Can't wait to see if in the distant future the WF-roleplaying game is influenced by the new stuff they are creating at GW. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boytoy Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 honestly just hoping they release a kit for kossars so i can get massive hordes of peasant infantry. really missing the empire archer kit - it was one of my favs 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think WFRP 4e did a fairly good job of maintaining the grimy atmosphere of the old game while updating it to include the mandatory modern stuff like Karlfranz having a griffon and there being eight colleges of magic etc Buuuut, so many people have left the team that worked on the bulk of it that I'm a little concerned they won't even finish their rewriting of the Enemy Within (which AFAIK doesn't include the old Kislev bit), before they ever get to fleshing out more neglected areas of the Old World and beyond This Old World stuff should at the very least provide a lot of inspiration for cross-pollination and fan made material tho 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairbanks Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 What's the Over/Under on everything we currently have for AoS not getting an update, and everything for TOW being brand new? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody knows the answer, but I can imagine something like: The AoS miniatures that need to be updated are in the pile of "things to do" (or squat after nobody buys them anymore). We already know that they are at maximum capacity of production and there are some new armies in the pipeline so... TOW still has 2-3 years (or more). I expect that the game will be focused on new models and of course they are going to have some type of special characteristics (some of them more magic-special-weird and others more historical look, remember that Fantasy had a shitting monster for a warmachine, a mechanical steed and the catrazza dudes). And I think that all the old ones are going to be handicapped or phased out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarquin Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 With the old world being a forge world venture (I think that’s right isn’t it...) would they use it in a similar way to heresy? Looking to make very specific models for many of the richly described characters and units from “back in the day”?.. Also the fact the teaser from one of the previews showed the empire in the war of the three emperors would fit nicely into how forgeworld could tell the story and reveal the merch. Though it’d be interesting to see how the other races got involved as heresy predominantly focuses on humanity and then really space marines at that I can see the heresy treatment working potentially well in some regards in this manner. I think they first ventured into warhammer with the specialist monsters and the like but surely they could replicate the pattern of what they did with heresy all the better for knowing how that panned out. Either way I’m stoked, I've played the total wars which is one of my fav line of strategy games on steam, I dabbled with fantasy and now I’m hooked on AOS so more fantasy miniatures or settings of any description is fine by my count!!! Apologies in advance if I’ve completely missed something already discussed here before!! 🙏 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the material for 2nd should work for 4th also. So does the old Enemy Within campaign (being 1st). As gamemaster I take every liberty to make it my own vision of the world anyway. Everything else is just inspiration to plunder at will. 😄 Edited March 29, 2020 by Beastmaster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
