Bosmer Nightblade Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 I'd love to see Dark Elf Shades make a return, and particularly Mengil Manhide's Manflayers from dogs of war. In fact whilst I'm not a fan of other dogs of war stuff, I do know it's very popular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the slaanesh heroes do and most older Slaanesh models as well. Think of the pose of the Slaanesh lord on boobsnake and the Sigvald model. Love that mix of arrogance and danger/killyness that they portrayed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As cool as it would be to see some real classics be re-produced, if the warscroll has been sidelined to the legacy pile, I think it's unlikely they'll bring it back anytime soon. That said if enough people ask for a model that now counts as something else you never know! They're not asking for models that are in the book necessarily -- they're asking for " suggestions for any older models for factions within the Grand Alliance: Order book" -- so models that are no longer made for factions that exist in the GA:O are definitely an option here. GW hasn't said anything about bringing back warscrolls, just producing models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Manflayer command are excellent models (especially for their time) and some of my favourites but the troops themselves are sadly not particularly good sculpts. They look almost 2d and are awkwardly posed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elfhead Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 This Thread is about which model from the grand alliance: order book should be brought back as made to order. It is not about whether or not legacy had a place in competitive tournaments. The point made is that it is unlikely we'll see models for legacy armies as made to order (at this point) since they are not in GA: order (or are they? I don't own the book) on the Facebook page people are calling out for bretonnian models. But it is doubtfull we'll see them as made to order, at least for now.

They are still a good option for any free peoples army, they have some beautiful models and a huge following that desperatly wants a second chance at some of the models.

RuneBrush Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 10 hours ago, Bosmer Nightblade said: I mean no offense when I say this, I just mean it in the literal sense: But that is an ignorant viewpoint. Firstly, your point is only relevant for matched play. Narrative and Free has no issue with 'legacy'. Secondly, legacy is still valid in matched play depending on where you play. The upcoming gw masters event for example is allowing legacy, and that's pretty much the top most competitive tournament you can get. Erm, not quite sure how telling me my post was ignorant won't cause offence, but I'll respond in what I hope is a polite manner. I was commenting on the subject in hand - GW are asking what models from armies in the GA: Order book we'd like to see be produced as "made to order" - it (and this topic) has nothing to do with playing legacy armies in AoS. I have absolutely no issue with playing legacy armies at all - my brother has Tomb Kings and another mate has Wanderers, so it would be exceptionally hypocritical if I did. Legacy is completely valid in all methods of play, I think all legacy warscrolls have points in the GHb so they're valid in any tournament unless the TO decides not to allow it (default is allowed). My post was in response to the sheer number of people who have suggested something that is completely off tangent - hobbit models, non-Order units, etc 9 hours ago, rokapoke said: They're not asking for models that are in the book necessarily -- they're asking for " suggestions for any older models for factions within the Grand Alliance: Order book" -- so models that are no longer made for factions that exist in the GA:O are definitely an option here. GW hasn't said anything about bringing back warscrolls, just producing models. As I said, I'm sure if there's enough requests GW will happily bring back any model they have the masters/molds for. However I personally think they'll focus on models that have a suitable warscroll in the GA book. As an example, the Hellcannon only has a legacy warscroll - it doesn't exist in the GA: Chaos book so I don't think they'd be keen to bring it back (if they did I would certainly pick one up). Freepeople covers a multitude of sins, so I could see some of the Bretonian range potentially appearing at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvDJ Posted December 14, 2016 Author Share Posted December 14, 2016 Its strange, because when it comes to the made to order stuff I don't think about what's playable, although its not surprising that a lot of people do i suppose. For someone like me, who has collected for almost 20 years but has never played a game, my interest is always in the fluff, the model for the sake of the model. There are things i'd love to own and paint just for the sake of having them. I miss things like the halfling hot-pot, and regret not getting one at the time, it may have no place in the current game/rule set, but I love it as a piece of historic GW oddness. I love the made to order because it gives me the possible opportunity to pick up those models that give me a nostalgia hit, that remind me of my own hobbying journey, and just remind me of how much I love the models and worlds GW have created. I'm now going to sit down and reread all my old 4th and 5th edition army books for a further nostalgia hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chord Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 I would LOVE to see the Citadel Mighty Fortress re-made. The current castle stuff is too Khorne for the battles we play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current castle stuff is too Khorne for the battles we play. We had pieces of one of these at the old local store. It's a great generic kit, would love to see a reimagining that as you say isn't as specifically-Khornate. Half-tempted to pull out GW's old Helms Deep tutorials and give it a go myself, though.

Yeah I thought so too but then they supplied us with deamons of slaanesh through made to order. Which gave me the impression they were looking at what sells out fast/what does the community want.

Strength_Hammer Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 This may be extreme, but I would love to see them run old Fantasy Army sculpts to buy as a 1 click bundle type deal. To tag on to that idea I would love to see a run on the old Hero's from the Old World. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZaelART Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 I would love to see the "Bretonnian Questing Knights", those guys are extremely characterful. Otherwise, with the release of Spire of Dawn, I'd wager that a lot of old High Elf sculpts would go down really well. "Handmaiden of the Everqueen", both of the old Alarielle miniatures, some of the old princes and noble miniatures... that blind swordmaster guy.

harrocks Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 to kind of echo the call for the 'fortess' above, I do wish GW would put out all the old 'classic' scenic pieces - particularly skullvane manse and the like. availability and prices on ebay are awful, and there is very little to touch them, quality-wise from elsewhere. I guess the bonkers 'planes' setting (which I like) of AOS might be thought to preclude their use, but that's just the point, the planes settings doesn't limit anything in theory, and I find it hard to believe demand for such things wouldn't be decent (I mean the eternity stair and choas portal would be very popular surely, even as things stand re: the current fluff). sorry if this isn't relevant to the GA: order aspect ...

Grudgegamer Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 I do not use facebook so hopefully someone important sees this. I would love to see Old Storm of Chaos models (Teuton Guard, Dwarf Doomseekers, Priests of Ulric, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But good on you for staying polite As is it is a bit 'unhelpful' that the limitation (within order) was below the fold on Facebook.

Soulsmith Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 I think the thing to take away from this is it's another bit of positive outreach from GW. They want the consumers to literally tell them what to make. I know it's so they can make the most of their moulds, but still. Bring on Destruction's turn!
