Kronos Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 What do people Think we’ll see next week if indeed the Dwarfs are next. I’ve heard Rumours of a King/Lord on Shield Bearers and a Lot of Murmurs about the Tank that was never released. I’d like to see the White Dwarf return with a table top worthy miniature (my biggest pet hate that he was always in fancy dress). Can’t wait to see the Dawi return.

Yeah I think there will be a new plastic Grombrindal probably/hopefully for ToW as wells AoS, resin king/lord on shield bearers seems likely. I doubt very much we will get that tank, maybe in the future but who knows? From Peachy's description I'd love a couple of those tanks but I get the feeling they are concentrating on bringing back the ranges rather than adding to them, the Brets and Tomb Kings being the exceptions at the moment. They might showcase all the Dawi they are bringing back and hopefully there will be some classics like the O&G got. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A return of the kit from the starter box with the little pony drawn carriage, I alway liked the look as a bit of secenery or set piece. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerekKruger Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Even though I'm not interested in O&G, I am excited to see what the Arcane Journal brings and will but it (I'm still kicking myself hot not buying the Bretonnian journal when I could).

But where is the Orc Shaman and his totally-not-AOS-pot-grot-lad ?? BTW, I'm really happy to see AJs continuning to bring characterful side units additions like "Badland Ogre Bulls" ! EDIT : the classifying between metal, resin and made-to-order metal still makes ZERO sense to me...

Clan's Cynic Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 (edited) Preview of the Arcane Journal for Orcs & Goblins. TLDR New Troll Magic Lore. Nomadic Waaagh! is all-mounted Orcs & Goblins. Troll Horde is focused on- well, Trolls, but isn't exclusively them (though it can be). Edited March 18 by Clan's Cynic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jefferson Skarsnik Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Interesting, just the two armies of infamy and two special characters. The weird new shaman has a little bit of troll in him a la Grom. Some more subtle expectation-management language towards the end saying it will take a long time for the 9 core factions to get their stuff released, and the scale of the project has grown (presumably after it shrunk at first during development) and leaving the door open for other stuff to come back in scope Trying to thread the "Kislev and Cathay will come later, but buy other stuff in the meantime and don't get mad at us for saying they're not actually coming until then" needle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are only midway through March and O+G are up for preorder already and we may see the next faction reveal in a couple of days at Adepticon. I think they are roughly going for 2 factions a quarter with all 9 factions released by Q1 2025. The first "Campaign" book released in the spring/summer of next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is from yesterday almanack on Warcom : "What’s Next? Danny: It’s fair to say that Warhammer: The Old World is here to stay, and we’ve got a wonderful time period to explore (not wonderful for people living there, but from a storytelling perspective!) JTY: We’ve got nine core factions – that’s a lot of models to bring back, and we can’t do that all at once… Dan**: The painting team would probably crumble at that point! JTY: There is a mountain yet to climb with our plans for the Old World, and even with so many people working on it (including in the factories, the painting and photography studios, and even the box design). The amount of plastic, metal, and resin we need to bring back for nine factions is a lot – and it’s going to take us quite a long time. Danny: The game has been incredibly well received, and it’s great that there’s so much passion – the scope of the project has grown, so please bear with us. JTY: We aim to do this forever. We have planned books for the next [redacted] years – we have all these miniatures planned and clear ideas of what we’re working towards, but we have to get there! We’re reintroducing the world and the setting over the course of nine Arcane Journals. Once that’s done… who knows?"" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clan's Cynic Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 (edited) Details of what's going Made-To-Order for Orcs & Goblins. "The Marauder Giant will be available on a Made to Order basis shortly, joined by the Orc Shaman on War Wyvern from 1993, two sets of Stone Trolls, the River Trolls, and the Black Orc Big Boss with Axe and Shield."

Double Misfire Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 More of these, and not just for Orc and Goblin players: Looks like everybody can take ogres, and Warriors and Beastmen get the really tall giant. Canonically TOW predates Ungrim Ironfist learning the downside of hiring ogres, which is topical because he got a new mini today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Story dating back to the 4th ed Battle Bestiary and expanded on in the Dogs of War armybook. Golgfag and his ogres (for a fee) helped Ungrim defeat a massive orc army at the Battle of Broken Leg Gulley (a net win for Ungrim, Thorgrim rewarded him with the dragon cloak his TOW model lacks after), only to sign on with some other orcs and become a thorn in Ungrim's side later. Ungrim later captured and imprisoned Golfgfag, along with most of the orc and goblin army he'd joined. During his short stay in dwarf jail, Golgfag got so hungry he ate all the orcs and goblins, and then his ogres, bar Skaff, his best mate, who out of sentimentality he decided to eat slow, and had only eaten the leg of when the dwarfs discovered him. Ungrim was so impressed/horrified he had Golgfag taken a very long way away from Karak Kadrin and released. Golgfag and Skag, note the missing leg: 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd expect a rewriting if this to make it fit with more modern Warhammer style (Dwarfs taking orcs prisoner? No way) but I think there's a good chance it'll feature given he's missing his dragon cloak. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just went and checked the Stuff of Legends page for Golgfag's very first Regiment of Renown, and this story actually dates back to 1st edition, I just read it for the first time in 4th 🤣 Ungrim isn't named in this version mind, he's just a 'Dwarf leader' 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonhel Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Watched one of the newer Square Based youtube vids. It was interesting to hear Rob saying that he never heard the statement "the scope of this project has grown" before for another GW game. He also mentions that intern GW TOW is the most played game by GW employees by far. Which ofcourse can't be verified, but sounds great nonetheless. 😄 All very exciting! For the new O&G stuff. The Arcane Journal: O&G tribes, new Black Orc bigboss and old Warhammer Forge Command set are already sold out. (Cards too, but this is always the case for every game). For the old stuff: Orc Shaman and doomdiver catapult are sold out. It's clear that the new stuff sells out fast. I am quite happy that the Arcane Journals sell out so fast.
