Greyshadow Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 GW understand that some are life long collectors of a particular army. They also understand consistent basing is important. They might have just decided it would be nicer to try and keep both old and new customers happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mirkwood Ranger are a fantastic kit. They would be good Living City Shadow Warriors, IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinthMusketeer Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 People say Starcraft was originally a 40k game a lot too, and that isn't true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also out of curiosity, where was that confirmation? Whatever interaction that came from could have some interesting hints. Sorry, didn't spot you'd replied! Confirmation was made during the New Years Open Day last year. In the AoS seminar, the design team were asked about involvement with The Old World and the answer given was that they know the same (possibly even less) than us and they're looking forward to it too. This was backed up by fact some of them were lurking at the back of the hall when Specialist Games did their seminar 😊. To my eternal annoyance I didn't even think about asking about scale until I was on my way home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Round base is to let you use it in AOS. I don’t think there is any secrets or anything Yup. I received several (white) Mail order only boxes with both base types 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mosquito onthe TenthFloor Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 (edited) On 2/24/2021 at 10:06 PM, Joseph Mackay said: The other reason for lotr being smaller was a contractual obligation to make the models incompatible with Warhammer This isn’t true. Rick Priestly confirmed recently that the reason models were smaller was so that they could fit everything on a single sprue and keep the production costs down per box.

If I look at the old sprues, they didn't really make an effort to go to 28mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old sprues required a lot more free space than now. It is quite possible that it's the best they could do at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronWilson Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 As a person who has recently ordered 30 pheonix guard, sisters of the watch & shadow warriors for WFB 9th age, this makes me very happy, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddpainting Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 (edited) A lot of older kits sitting around has squares in them, they just added circles to them. I've had many with both over the few years. Also some has special bases that are square and they leave it with them b.c some people like the, Examples, CoS Assassin and Grotss Spider Riders.
