Yeah, I don't buy it. The Throne of Chaos campaign is not contemporary to The Old World. I guess it may happen eventually, but I'm not counting on it.
Maybe they'll make a print-on-demand for collectors, or maybe he's getting things mixed up and what FW is brewing is a different set og books based on that one.

Ogors are VERY SAFE
Even if Ogors are safe as a faction, I think Mawtribes players may have reason to worry. After recent developmements I won't be surprised if GW decides to revamp and expand the Beastclaw Raiders (which have a strong theme, and properly AoS at that) and drop the Gutbusters.
Or they may release a new faction, like Kruleboyz for Warclans, and silently let the others fall to obscurity (althouh they would still get rules, so maybe doesn't sound as dire for Ogor fans?).
They remaining in the setting is a positive, obviously, but I don't think they're "very safe" as I understand it. -

Thinking about AoSification, I think there's one thing that we've missed. The fact that the clan now seems to be composed of the classic clan rats, Eshin and Pestilens. This one could be easily one from Pestilens and the other one from Eshin.
Gotta disagree with you on that. Hoods and pustules are common in regular Skaven too; I really don't think their design is pointing out at a merging of clans, but we'll see.

Surely not? No trophy rack. Probably the Clawlord/HQ.
I think Ejecutor is aware of that and it's just pointing out that the leaker may have been confused by the Champion (although the helmet is pretty standard in Skaven fashion).

Great update. As a long-time skaven fan this update feels exactly right. Tle old skaven but new.
For those who think they're not "AoSified" enough, bear in mind two things:
Clanrats are suppossed to be rabble without anything special special, and Skaven were always the more over the top faction back in Fantasy, so they can't take them much further without jumping the shark, IMO.
Still, I'm sure we'll see some realy crazy stuff done with them down the line.-

I think this is probably the right approach to take. Don't get too hopeful and you won't be disappointed. I think, at the moment, I'd assume O&G is the baseline minimum i.e. a handful of resin characters. In this case, I assume we'll get Morghur (like you say), and a generic resin character (Bullgor, Bray Shaman or maybe a Wargor). If we're lucky you'll get more than one generic resin character.
I agree with you but man, could they use some new minotaurs...

This reminds me of the army composition of the Realms of Chaos armybook during WHFB 5th edition. Which honestly, it's something I was hoping to see again, as it feels thematic and cool.
Not so sure about how they're handling "auxiliary units", but I want to give it more thought before giving a veredict. -

Since we, ToW players, also deserve our own baseless rumours to discuss about, I'll share this post from Reddit from the user NadaVonSada:
QuoteSo this was from the Warhammer Fantasy discord server if anyone cares to see if there was anything I missed out.
-
Cathay has a written army list similar to Total War Warhammer's version.
-
Skaven were specifically cited as unlikely to appear anytime soon for Old World. (Perhaps it's karma for my post yesterday.) The reason is perhaps the focus of Age of Sigmar's fourth edition.
-
Beastmen's armies of infamy include a minotaur horde and a call of the wild army, which uses magic related to the new lore included in the arcane journal.
-
Empire's armies of infamy include a Nuln gun army of infamy and a Middenheim army of infamy.
-
Various Forge World units, including the skin-wolves, firmer, gore-bull BSB and the peryton, will be returning. It was stated specifically that the chaos mammoth will NOT be returning.
-
Apparently, there is an F&Q planned for the arcane journals once all of them have been released.
-
Finally, and this one wasn't given much information to it as it was sort of muddled, but there is a long-term plan for Vampire Counts to be the first army to be made core from the missing armies. Though the way it was described it is a far-away concept and you shouldn't expect it soon.
Thank you to Javgoro from the Fantasy Discord for the information.
Honestly, besides the thing about the VC, everything else feels like very safe guesses.
If true, I'd assume Vampires would be the antagonist of an hypothetical second campaign book, after the one about the Chaos invasion, either jumping to the Vampire wars, or making up a new event after Magnus vs Asavar to keep the timeline flowing in the same direction.-

Glad to see that you like my work. Keep an eye out for more. I already have a WIP bolt thrower, tauruks, demon smith and an idea for a lammassu.
Also there are rumours that GW will release a Chaos Dwarfs or equivalent for Age of Sigmar next year. So you might want to wait and see. Many AoS minis work great for TOW like Seraphon or Soulblight Gravelords
Your stuff is awesome and I'm glad @Double Misfire had bringed it to my attention. Keep at it! 👌🏻

I think delfs in CoS are great, especially Scourge Privateers. I really hope they expand on the privateer theme and dont let it die off. The Privateers also got a lot of representation in lore.
Agreed. They look cool and have a strong theme going on. I'd even say they could be perfectly expanded into their own faction, like the Witch Elves did.
It won't happen of course; GW already has an aelven army tied to the sea (even if it's a very different take), but at the very least they should survive ( and maybe updated) within CoS.

I may have just been missing the forest for the trees or my coldblooded nature makes me slow to catch on, but...
Has it been rumored/speculated/suggested that the rebooted Cities of Sigmar's de-emphasis on the interspecies composition of the Cities was informed by a need to free up those older Dwarf/Dark Elf/Empire kits for The Old World? What's been the TGA take on this?
If AoS gets ride of some units it's because they no longer fit their vision and want to sell a new unit in it's place. The TOW team can benefit from this, but I doubt they hold that much power when it comes to GW making decisions.

The problem with Hobgrots it's that they don't have ranged or mounted units, and if uyou use other units as proxies you will have a disparring aesthetic for your count-as hobgoblins. You can make it work saying they're different races enslaved by the chaos dwarfs, but I'd personally prefer a more unified look.
Regular goblins from TOW are a good option as they have archers and wolf riders too. It should be obvious to everyone what they represent since CD can no longer deploy goblins.
-
I re-read Skavenslayer not that long ago and, for me, still holds up well. That being said, it does leans more towards humor than the previous book (which still had plenty of it on some chapters, mind you) and that might not be for everyone, specially if you aren't used to skaven.
As others have said, thou, Demonslayer is the place to know about Malakai Makaisson. You don't even need to read the whole book, the beginning should do.-

Any Murmurs in the Wilds of who’s coming after Dwarfs?
Following the theory about the shields on the rulebook cover it should be Beastmen and WE. It could be HE and Warriors of Chaos too, or course, but somehow WoC feels like the right choice for the last evil army as the main bad guys of the setting.

Funny you mentioned Zoats. I have my fingers crossed for fimirs to be included in a Norscan Army of Infamy. Having a precedent on Total War makes that seems plausible and not totally copium on my part, I think.
I haven't thought about the zoats, but of course I'll be all for it, and more tempted by wood elves if that finally happens.

I think Orion and Alarielle are the most obvious candidates when it comes to Wood Elves. But they'll need new miniatures to dothem justice if they're getting rules, so if the TOW team couldn't put the resources for that then they won't appear.
Finubar, the future Phoenix King, is also travelling the world and making contact with the Wood Elves, if I remember correctly.
Great job with the thread, btw!.-

Digging more and more the Troll Horde. I have like nine trolls from the Skull Pass box, and was looking to buy some of the old Stone trolls anyway. Should have a good starting point for it!

Also, I thought Archaon released Slaanesh already?
Nah, he was working on it, but had to postpone it to give Katakros a proper beating.

There is one thing that I miss.
If the regiments of renown are going to be Made to Order and there is even an Slayer army of infamy in the arcane journal, it would be ace to see the Long Drong's pirates again.
I'm not so sure about a Slayer Army of Infamy anymore. The lack of plastic suicidal stunties may have forced the designers to think about other options (norses and engineers?).
I know that wasn't a problem back in the Storm of Chaos, but it would be nowadays.

Ungrim stole the show for me.
Yeah, that's my favourite from the whole Adepticon. Also a surprise, since I expected Thorgrim, not him!. But overall I think all the new dwarfs look great.

Apparently they're showing some rules from the Arcane Journal on X/Twitter. This one from the Lore of the Troll Hags.

I don't expect it anytime soon, but after the big renewal of the skaven range they could perfectly have two different lines for AoS and TOW. I think VC are in a similar possition, or they could be after 4th edition (I guess that's why rumours have started with them).
On the issue of new armies, it would be very weird to see Cathay before Kislev, who is more rooted in the game, already had some representation in iniatures, and is directly affected by the Chaos invasion.
