Anyone have any ideas for kitbashing a unit of Infernal Guard? Cause looking over the list I’m fairly certain I can kitbash just about everything else to have a decent army if I use modern destruction kits…..

Longbeards/hammerers look the closest. They even have scalemail skirts like the infernal guard but they've smaller proportions.

I don’t think the dwarfs will be revealed now. I heard that they would both be shown off at the open day but obviously that didn’t happen, hopefully they’ll be soon as the release schedule is going to be very aggressive as the main factions should be released completely  over the next year. 

Will chorfs be before or after the new Dark Elves, if either are even in production.

I hope if we do see Dwarfs tomorrow that one of the new FW sculpts is a lady dwarf hero of some kind.

Edit: nvm.

Rulebook out of stock on the UK site.

[Warhammer - The Old World]

Since they compared it to the Horus Heresy my hope is that the game will be based of the current (AoS 3.0/4.0? by the time this is released?) AoS ruleset just like the Heresy was built from 6th edition 40k, warscrolls may exist in a similar format to how they are in AoS and all that will change are added layers to the games core rules that allow for larger battles. The model line should hopefully be the same scale as AoS just like HH range can work in 40k armies, I think they'd shoot themselves in the foot otherwise.

Rules wise I think it'll be its own game with units not being compatible with AoS but the minis themselves will be. Then again 4 years ago I thought it would be stupid to move armies all onto round bases and look how that turned out lol.

I can't really see how two concurrent fantasy battle games set in very similiar worlds with similiar characters can work for GW if the models are the same scale.  They're not gonna bring all the models they've just scrapped back into production. They're not gonna want to confuse the branding by having the same models represent different units. They're not gonna let players use the models they already have if they can get them to buy more.  A different scale would seem to solve all these problems. 

Titanicus scale WHFB? (Warmaster) :^)

I wonder how, psychologically speaking, players are effected by now knowing that eventually the world ends and all these little battles and rivalries are pointless from a fatalistic perspective.

I guess players play historical games when the real-world end result is known, so maybe it's not a big deal.

I mean, Horus Heresy players know how the Heresy ends. I know my Sons of Horus and Iron Warriors get sent packing into the Eye of Terror, but that doesn't mean each game is 'pointless'.

[Warhammer - The Old World]

The only thing that's keeping me from getting excited about this is the bases, will I have to rebase everything (again) or will they sell movement trays like War of the Ring? If so then I'm on board.

[It's time to mourn. Fimir and Tamurkhan being discontinued]

Fimir Warriors are now sold out on the UK store. Noble is still currently available though.

[It's time to mourn. Fimir and Tamurkhan being discontinued]

Guess I'll be using the Fimir I've got as Ogors unless the StD gives us something more fitting. I don't think LoA will get squatted for a while (I hope not anyway)

[It's time to mourn. Fimir and Tamurkhan being discontinued]

I'm wondering when they do go, would it be better to proxy the models for Ogors or some Chaos units or keep using their actual warscrolls.
