    Having mentioned Ogors, don't forget Lumineth as well, I guess 99% they will get water-themed wave in the upcoming edition (at least a hero, a unit and an avatar with warcry band included in tome already).

    Don’t we have the fish-things for that?

    I still can't work out what the distinct KO and FS accessories are supposed to be 😆

    He ain't staying on that base in TOW anyway, so no worries on that front.

    I've circled what I think are the KO and FS accessories. The belt is perfectly acceptable as any Dwarf thingy. I guess the KO accessories are a bit techy, but I don't think they are out of place.

    Can’t really see anything out of place either.

    i mean He’s got a compass,

    well seems like something most engineers will be able to create with ease😂

    Compass and the small weights are classic kharadron props (a lot of KO models have this stuff). 

    The metal-things with big gem that tie this beard is a Fyreslayers design.

    While that is true that design is also related to the dispossessed dwarfs.

    We already know that this will be repackaged. It doesn't count as a new plastic kit. If there is a new plastic kit it would maybe be a Cockatrice or something like that, but don't think that those are big sellers. I have no idea what could be released in plastic for Beastmen.

    I am very curious what they would do with the Beastmen Arcane Journal. Imo the O&G Arcane journal is the best one yet. It adds two really different playstyles to O&G.

    It be awesome if that’s the case.

    Although the cockatrice is one of the newer fantasy kits if I remember correctly.

    it was released with the ghorgon sometimes during the 8th edition if I remember correctly

    The next release will probably be an "evil" faction, so Warriors of Chaos or Beastmen. I am looking forward to both.

    I wonder if any of those two would recieve a plastic kit and which resin characters could be released with it.

    I would love to see a plastic Chaos dragon. There is no AoS entry for that, so no conflicting sales. But I fear this is a bit to optimistic 😄

    I don't think we will see a plastic kit for Beastmen.

    And even if we don’t get a chaos dragon,

    I’d suggest having s look at one of petes the wargamers video.

    if I remember correctly he converts the new stormcast on small dragon i to a chaos lord on chaos dragon

  5. Currently old word really is keeping me motivated to paint.

    But personally If I have to share anything,

    videos or pictures of other painting can really get one hyped.

    For me it is all those great conversion I have seem for the old world, and well the system itself is a lot of fun to play so, motivation keeps on growing, even after I helped a friend paint 80-100clanrats for the last two days.

    Exactly. 🙂

    Also why I believe the legacy factions will come back sooner than later (after all the core factions got their Arcane journals and after halflings (I am convinced we will see the Moot 🙂 ))is because GW is just letting money slip through their fingers. Currently it seems that the community just plays legacy factions as they were core. My friend, who will be my main opponent for TOW is building a VC army.

    But most importantly, as that is the most visible part is that for tournaments legacy factions are also played and they are frequently played.

    So imo, after the Arcane journals and a campaign book, legacy factions wil get attention. Ofcourse this is only wishlisting from my part. But GW loves money, their shareholders love money and its clear that there is money to be made with releasing old stuff. So it would be absurd that they wouldn't open the vaults and start selling old VC and etc stuff... . It's a smaller investment than releasing a Cathay range. 😉

    I mean the fact that they updated the legacy pdfs does hint that they seem to be starting to include them at some point.

    from a business stand point, its also bot a bad thing having an army in more then one system

    Very nice! I think he fits in well with TOW High Elves. As an aside, I really hope we get those Lothern Seaguard re-released. They are so much nicer than the old 6th edition Spear and Bow elves.

    Yeah, they are amazing.

    i di hope they’ll do that

  8. That sounds awesome, I wish you the best of luck.

    I’m personally not that well read into the vampire lore.

    I could tell you everything about the skaven, and in theory what they are currently doing, yet not really about the vampires.

    although, if I remember correctly the take back of the undead kings castle by nagash, happened a few years before, so Nagash should be around that time, although mostly doing nothing

    "Aged well" is kind of subjective. For some people those kits are perfect bits of nostalgia. For other people, those kits are the peak of miniature design and sculpting in a style they love. 

    I personally think that a lot of older kits have a more interesting style than many modern kits, as well as some really lovely and characterful sculpting. And of course,  some are just ******. But its really subjective!

    I'm really excited for miniatures in absolutely every army coming back. Not ALL of them, but a lot of them!

    Definitely.

    and don’t forget there are some big sellers in there.

    kits like the snake riders, tomb guard, sphinx, are a pretty much up there with the aos model range when it comes down to details and look

    Plus, BoC isn't going OOP. Without scarcity there's no incentive to buy high. They're just moving over to TOW and most people who might be interested in TOW BoC probably is looking at all the AoS BoC players for a cheap deal. Which ironically means BoC will look it is having poor sales in TOW as well. 

    For AoS, it wasn't much of a riddle. BoC was given no minis, questionable rules, bare minimum of attention, and be like, hmmm, I wonder why people aren't buying into this "brand new faction which definitely isn't just a bunch of repackaged WHFB models." Which gets even sillier now that they're being repackaged again for their original game system.

    Perhaps this is the chaos gods going full meta to ****** over the GOATs.

     

    Funnily enough after having played a few games with the beasts in aos, they really at least put their heart into creating the two books that where released in second and third edition.

    unlike the skaven tome that was with third nothing but a worser copy of its original second edition tome

  11. Mmmh, I guess it depends how your opponent sees it.

    I personally think it could be a cool mount for a beastmaster.

    from the size I’d say using it as a manticore proxy might be useful, although unlike the manticore it doesn’t have wings.

    So what could I convert the Kruleboyz Sludgegeraker into? 

     

    I am open to ideas! :D


    although I guess it depends for what faction specifically you want to convert it into.

    with orks you can easily just leave it as is, with maybe the mordor ork on top being exchanged for a black ork big boss of some sorts

    This is definitely not the case. I own a LOT of now "abandonned" miniatures: The price those miniatures are trying to get sold by their owners is nearly always absolutely unimaginably high, and they do not get sold at those high prices. Just go check on ebay, a lot of miniatures that aren't produced anymore, are either:

    - Way too high priced and won't sell until their price drops

    - "pro painted" and way too high

    - Absolutely horribly painted and sold at a decent/low price (low if it is a REALLY badly painted model with paint slapped on it)

    - Okayish price a little bit more than the official price

    Most of the time, these overpriced miniatures do not sell well or at all. They do sell well during the first "panic" weeks, like we saw during the great squatting of WHFB and tomb kings.

    As someone who has been trying to get his hands on some limited editions, I can assure you, that people always try to sell those items at a random dumb value (like 200 for a limited edition battletome/codex) and then either give up or bring the price down to it's near initial GW price (maybe 10/20% margins, but it really depends, dice do seems to sell pretty well even at higher costs, miniatures definitely not always).

     

    With the difference of these never being fleshed out factions and more or less just dwelling in the lore. These never had a fleshed out battletome nor a codex. They also weren't supported and had miniatures 10 years into the game.

    Don’t forget those people who sell their models for a too expensive price with the tag of pro painted on it, till you notice how horrible painted they are😂
