Public Universal Duardin

7th edition here we coooooooome Honestly, I personally consider that the peak of WHFB (okay, mostly due to nostalgia), but I wouldn't say no to some classic "herohammer".

It'd be funny to know what the official definition for starter set in Gamesworkshopese is. For funsies I checked the "not a starter set" HH set and the AoS starter set, and while both have core rules the AoS starter set comes with terrain/cardboard mat and push-fit miniatures (as opposed to traditional glue-is-required ones of HH). Feels in many ways arbitrary, as at least I perceive starter set to mean a box with two opposing forces alongside core rules, but apparently that's not it. A real shame they didn't show the Q&A on stream, I think it'd have helped with misconceptions like this.

I've yet to see if this was discussed in the Rumour thread, but just got sent this by a friend. Any thoughts? Seems like TK vs Brets (or any faction vs faction with rules set) is back on the menu.

I would give my 🏆 but I'm all out of reacts for today, so have an emoji variant instead: 🏆 Heh, you're probably right and indeed time has marched on - but surely there must be people who would? I mean, isn't that how many got into WHFB and 40K back in the day with their Dawn of Wars, Space Marine, Shadow of the Horned Rat, Mark of Chaos and the like 😁

I'm pretty sure I saw a High Elf emblem on the map shown in the stream, they could probably represent local enclaves/merchant district elves.

Didn't GW confirm both Cathay and Kislev ages ago or am I mixing things up? Well, even if neither materialised I don't think it'd be the end of the world (heh) in terms of getting people interested in TOW. Maybe there's die-hard Cathay-fans thanks to TW:WH but the numbers are surely smaller than even old school Dogs of War fans 😜 I absolutely agree it'll be popular, at least in terms of "specialist games". There's both the nostalgia factor and Vermintide and TW:WH brought in a lot of new blood into being fans of Fantasy.

To be a Chorf fan is one of patience and scouring ebay listings 🙏 But Bretonnians were my original love whose litanies of heroism included battles against cannons of dwarfs, chariots of Nehekhara and hordes of goblins (that is, the armies my brothers and friends owned). In the golden days of yore when the floor became a meadow of clover, styrofoam pieces walls the cowardly enemies of the Lady cowered behind and overturned Coke cans towers for heroes to duel on top. So seeing a new knight is, well, absolutely fantastic 😁 The Dawnbringer knights do open up some really interesting conversion ideas 👀

I'm so happy for both of us, even if we didn't get a release date TOW will be GOATED!!! Them saying that all 8th Ed armies are supported, so...Legion of Azgorh...maybe???

Oh wow, this was genuinely more than I had expected (which had been a single miniature and a picture of a map lol)! Guess this soft-confirms TK vs Bret box. But aaaaaaaaa, the Paladin looked so awesome!!!! My boys will ride again (until Chorfs are confirmed, of course 😝)!!!

It happened!!! @Twisted Firaun

Aaaaaaaaaaaa I can't wait, I don't care if they'll just bait us with some sculpt and pic of rules aaaaaaaaaa

OMG seeing that map again on GW socials...I feel so happy, it's like seeing an old friend after a long time spent apart. I know I am going to get milked HARD for those nostalgiabucks, but why else would I work than to afford the Warhammers I couldn't years and years ago?

If we repeat "Chorfs confirmed!" enough, eventually it'll be real!

I can see the logical leap between Tomb Kings and Night Lords - after Night Lords are done with their enemies, all that is left of them is their skeleton!

One can dream...but I'd hope such foundation-shaking artillery would come from Deathshrieker rocket launchers!

I'm surprised to hear Hungarian gets any localisations! I'm so used to seeing DE/FR/IT get translations while rest of Europe gets left behind in the dust - I mean, I understand if my native Finnish is too small of a market but there's 11 million Swedes right next door yet they get none. Maybe GW assumes - correctly, most likely - that Nordic geeks understand English well enough that we get no translations 😁

I'm very happy to hear everyone's opinions about what you bet the launch box will be! I'm a bit surprised about the Empire vs. Orcs suggestions as although nostalgic (6th edition launch box right?) there's not much to suggest Orcs. Empire vs. Empire is also much likelier than some think - why else would GW have put the setting at a point when Empire was in civil war as opposed to set it during Storm of Chaos or the Current Year of 8ths start.

After vigorous pondering, séance seshs and a couple blood sacrifices of captive hobgoblins, I see five possibilities for a TOW boxed set. I've listed them in what I consider their likelihood to be. The Fanservice: Tomb Kings vs. Bretonnia. LONG LOST NEHEKHARA lives! The Horus Heresy: Empire vs. Empire. You haven't forgotten the setting, have you? The Greybeard: Battle for Skull Pass/Island of Blood re-release. Here comes the money 🎶 The Total War: Kislev vs. Chaos. No Konstaltyn included. The Chorpfium: Grand Cathay vs. Chaos Dwarfs. It'll never happen, but hopium engines are on 110% productivity!

You don't know how great it feels to see all these signs pointing towards the long, long, long, long, long wait finally coming to an end - aaaaaaaaa Warhammer Fest can't come soon enough!!!

A couple years ago I listbuilt both a Moulder and Eshin themed list, but I'm unsure how viable they'd be nowadays. Would definitely be FUN! No, wait, that's an Orruky emotion...err, they'd be extremely cunning-genius, yes-yes!

I'm hoping for a release date, the sooner the better. TK and Bretonnia would be awesome, but we know Kislev is being worked on (correct?), so I could see Kislev vs. Chaos. Or maybe they go extremely big brain and go Empire vs Empire a la Horus Heresy - Ottilian Outriders vs Elected Evictors (you gotta have alliteration in Warhammer!) with sprue sets for Middenland Marinara Sauces being announced. Moreover, the age of three emperors includes the gigachad Gorbad Ironclaw and daddy Vladdy, Kunning Konrad and Manfred the Balding Vampire (lamest von Carstein, fight me) so while we might not see them during the reveal, I fully expect rerealeses for their models at some point. Although I'll forever miss the original Vlad model, I'd fully expect them to go with 8th ed ones. I mean, look at this guy. Admit it girls, he'd steal your heart too - he did mine.

They know... 😄

Worst part of Warhammer: There's too many cool factions so I'm already having difficulty to decide which army to collect first. Definitely different chaos bits. Easy money for GW, if we go by Horus Heresy upgrade kits. Tinfoil thought: What if they add a Chaos Dwarf upgrade sprue to dwarfs and a hobgoblin one to goblins so one can play as Chorfs without GW having to make a completely new army?

Luckily for me, the new Chaos Dwarf dlc for Total War Warhammer is great and eases that eternal yearning for Hashut's dark embrace. I wouldn't, however, say no to Chorfs/Chuardin in TOW/AoS 😝

They hated Noserenda because he told them the truth.
