    To be fair I wouldn't call it 'nostalgia' when people have been asking GW to bring back Fantasy for seven years. 

    My take is they realised there is a market for rank-and-flank games they left the door open for other companies to fill (Kings of War, Conquest, etc) and recognised it was a blindspot they should be filling themselves, since GW know most people are always going to stick with their offerings unless there's literally no option there.

    In terms of the lack of models, I imagine if TOW is a decent success they'll eventually start putting out updated sculpts. Horus Heresy got new Mark III only a year after second edition dropped, despite being a relatively modern sculpt (younger than AoS even). 

    This! 

    It's giving people what they want, what they've been asking for since the end of 8th Ed warhammer. 

    I love AoS, it's a great game with some of the best models ever made by GW. 

    But warhammer fantasy was my first love in wargaming when I first started over 30 years ago and I've never stopped collecting, painting and playing even when The End Times happened. 

    I know there are many people like me and there will be many who will come back into the fold. 

    I can't wait to get my hands on the new rules so I can plan out new armies, I'm in the middle of building a dark elf army and have plans for a night goblin one.

    I'd be very surprised if they price it more than Greater Demons which are for both their mainline systems. I see it more around £70/£80 (Similar to Glutos)

    No way the dragon would be 100 pounds. It has to be cheaper than AoS. As 30k is cheaper than 40k.

    Okay, it might be £95 like the greater demons and gobsprak, maybe £90 like the cities manticore or £105 like kragnos. 

    I think it will be around the £90 - £100 mark, I hope I'm wrong but can't see it being anything less.

    Based on advent engine, i guess we will have Cities vs Skaven box in 4.0

    Stormcast vs Skaven. 

    I can't see a starter set without Stormcast. Love or hate them, they are the face of AoS. 

    I can see cities getting a 2nd wave, cultist stuff mainly. 

    I think and hope quite a few factions will get 2nd waves next year. 

    GW have been releasing either new armies or doing redesigns and giving us new toys but it almost always feels like there is more to come. 

    Kruleboyz, cities, deepkin , fyreslayers, kharadron. 

    Even 40k has it, the eldar redesign wasn't a full release and there must be more squats coming. 

    I think 2024 will be a good year and I can't wait to see what they come up with.

    Just found out about this rumour from Valrak: 

    Do we think it could be true that GW messed it so hardly? Would be sad... maybe in the future we could see some AoS content.

    If it is true, leave the deal and go elsewhere. Plenty of production companies out there.

    I can see the new kill team being announced tonight but not released until the 6th of January. 

    With the new old world novel being released on the 20th January,  The Old World could go up for preorder on the 6th January, meaning we should get the Sunday announcement in a couple of weeks. 

    If so, that's a great way to kick off the new year!!

    I think a big factor in why 40k tends to win every year is they have one or two really stand out models a year (this year being Angron and the Lion), while AoS seems to bring out a model of the year contender every month (lizards, gitz, trolls, trees, cities, ghouls). 

    Thus the AoS votes are more split than 40k. 

    I've said this many times to many people: I truly believe AoS have some of the best, if not best models in war gaming today.

    With the same logic my guess for IJ vanguard : 

    megaboss 

    3 gore grunta 

    5 brutes or 3 ragerz 

    10 ardboyz 

     

    and for COS : 

    Freeguild Marshall

    ironweld Great canon 

    Freeguild Cavaliers or Freeguild Fusiliers 

    Freeguild Steelhelm 

    I doubt there will be a ironjawz one as there is a orruks warklans box. 

    I know it's all kruleboyz but as its called warklanz instead of kruleboyz I don't think there will be a ironjawz vanguard box. 

    I'll love to be wrong tho.

    This is what people always say, but I've honestly never seen anyone even contemplate playing anything with Legends rules. As the warscrolls never get updated they very very quickly drop off to the point where it's just kinda punching yourself in the crotch to try and do anything with them.

    In any case, it's a new development. Underworld Warband rules were evergreen up to this point even if GW has already started rotating the models. Even if it was an inevitable development, it's another mental checkmark for me not to go out of my way to buy into underworlds unless I have a very good reason.

    Did anyone buy them just to take in a Age of Sigmar army as the actual warscroll? 

    My guess is people bought them to play underworlds, use as alternative sculpts or as a painting project with a tiny, tiny minority using them in AoS, which as I said they still can other than tournaments. 

    Not much of a downside here really, with the alternative being they don't get put into legends and the rules just disappear.

    That's a little worrying, not gonna lie. They weren't even an especially old warband.

    I'm not surprised and can see all underworld warbands going to legends as it solves the problem of having a warscroll entry in a battletome without the models being available. 

    Also cuts down on the amount of redundant warscrolls, stormcast and nighthaunt must have 5+ underworld warbands. 

    Legends is the right place for them, can still be used in casual friendly games just not in tournaments where I doubt they'll be seen as a great loss.

    This is a good counter point as Tyranids would very similar to Skaven relaunch. My only push back would be those revamps came in later editions. I wonder if they would roll that type of revamp for 4th edition of the game. However, to go along with your point even more Idomitus and levithan box sold very well. 

    If Skaven are going to be in the 4ed box (and I believe they will) it's pretty much a given there will be old units that will be revamped. 

    Plauge monks, night runners and rat ogres are dated, awful looking models. 

    Plus there are still units in finecast and metal. 

    Will there be brand new kits, I sure there will, but the majority will be updated old kits. 

    The way GW has been on a roll as of late I can't wait to see what they'll do. New rat ogres done with today's technology and sculpting style = take my money!
