i wont continue saying the same because this forum is very positive and dont acept negative coments,but rigth now internet is burning with everyone laughing of the supposed gw gave same love and effort toward legacy armys
OK, I'll bite
I'll preface this by saying that I can't comment on any faction's viability as I'm anything but competitive - I only ever play casual or narrative games - but what I can comment on is this forum, participating in various degrees since 2019. While TGA is in general more optimistic than most other Warhammer groups out there, I wouldn't say that nobody accepts negative comments. I know I have grumbled my fair share the last 3-4 years!
I also don't think the Internet is burning at all - from what I've seen the reception to the legacy pdfs have been generally positive even outside these forums. Honestly, Square Based's proposed standard event format got more mixed reactions than the legacy pdfs themselves, lol
I don't want to insinuate that you're in a negative bubble - equally well I could be in an optimistic one, or my non-competitive self doesn't have the 'eye' to discern criticism...but I feel like you're unfair towards this forum. There's real good people here, and it's not all hugboxing and shilling for daddy James Workshop, heheh.

Regarding orders in the EU:
My brother shared this with me a couple minutes ago. Seems there's been some supply chain issues regarding minis (Liche Priest was only model he ordered, otherwise it was the novel and Old World Map).
So seems everyone will get their orders at beginning of February.

As mentioned by others, this isn't the first edition where vampires have been forced to choose between armor and spellcasting. with their high initiative and 5+ regeneration a vampire might bank on not needing armor, especially if they invest in a ward save.
Now tgqr you mention it, doesn't the original Vlad miniature rock a snazzy shirt and cloak rather than armour?

in comparison to the current aos 3.0 book, this legacy pdf actually got some love for the skaven
Definitely makes me regret selling my Island of Blood Skaven after End Times ended. The folly of youth...

Are there people here from Europe that ordered from GW directly and still have their orders (the books) in the status "processing"?
I went to check on GW's site but the new shop is so broken that it keeps redirecting me in a loop

Just 80?
i’ve got like 300paunted and 400….400-500ish unpainted clanrats😂
I hope you run the unpainted ones as Skavenslaves - so low at the rat social ladder they aren't even allowed to have colour. Truly tragic 😢

Yeah, it just reads like another "My dad works for Games Workshop and says TOW is rushed, the end is nigh!" piece of bait like we've been getting since Day 1 of it being announced.
Shame for the one kid whose dad actually works for Games Workshop and everyone thinks he's a liar
7 hours ago, Garrac said:Well, I'd be impressed. Even the legacy pdfs show a lot of work behind, and I couldn't even dare to imagine doing all of what they've done fluffwise, rulewise, etc with just me and 3 other mfers.
Reading the legacy pdfs what I find is that the person who wrote "DONT USE AGE OF SIGMAR MINIATURES" bit and the person who wrote the rest are two diferent people alltogether, or the same guy forced to write ****** because he had a gun on his backhead. I don't doubt that if it were for TOW team we would have had full support to everything. I mean, when you read the arcane journals, do you really think the same devs would say "No, warriors of chaos can't use demons"? Doesn't fit.
I think TOW has shown a lot of dedication, passion and work, and the fact this could have been done by just 4 guys is bonkers.
Also, the fact that this is being worked upon by 4 guys (hypothetically) means that we're not going to get a lot of updates for the near future, lol
Absolutely, it's obvious that even the legacy pdfs are a product of love - I can't really say I felt the same thing reading the Bret rules for AoS all those years ago. It truly seems the different teams at GW compete against each other, because why would the same team that adds post-AoS units to legacy pdfs go 'nuh uh, don't you dare go and buy AoS minis'?
Its all a shame because every model bought from GW is profit for them, and drives less people to third parties. Especially with TW:WH being so big it is and introducing new people to the setting, you'd think GW would rather have some Skaven fanatic purchase official Skaven models rather than some third party miniature named 'evil ratman'. But I digress, that topic has been talked to death already even before my milquetoast takes.

If you start a Chaos army using the Horns of Hashut as your main aesthetic touchstone, you'll be able to easily justify putting Chorfs on the same side of the table as 'em once they release! That's the route I decided to go
That's a very inspired idea!!! Don't mind if I st--err...borrow it.
48 minutes ago, FFJump said:Just do Chaos Dwarfs, that's what I'm doing
. Chaos Dwarfs have always been the army that you had to work to get built up on the fringes of support, so this changes nothing. Unless you're planning on attending any GW events, most indy events already said legacy will be allowed and the general community sentiment seems to be just treat them as any other army.
If it's models you're worried about, you could always Chaos-ify some Dwarfs or get some 3rd party if you don't want to source the minis. I'm a Chorf lover, and I'm lucky in that I already had an existing 6th edition and Azgorh army I've built up from official models over the years, so I know I'm an outlier but there's plenty of other options available until the AoS Chorfs come out.I live in Finland, so there's no GW events - there's just a single GW store in the entire country, rest is small flgs-es that sell Warhammer minis alongside other geek/hobby tat - so that's not something I'm worried about. I actually have some - perhaps 500 points worth - chorf minis I purchased over a decade ago. Some are og, the real deal, but most are third party metal Chorfs some guy from Russia made and sold on ebay (looking genuinely pretty awesome) 😁
I don't know why I have this weird feeling of anxiety regarding support and fear of using anything but GW minis when I'll mainly play TOW against the very same people I did 15 years ago.
-
I must say, I found it pretty funny how they keep repeating that yes, these aren't core factions and won't get support. I almost expected a final "and don't buy AoS minis for these!" lol
But at least this helps me personally, by making the list of choices smaller. So TGA, as a chorf lover wanting to start a new army, should I get Dwarfs (for the Dwarf aspect of Chorfs) or Chaos (for the chaos aspect of Chorfs)?

This has been the case for a long time. Stocks are coming and going with a big part of the ranges being out of stock lately.
Aw, that's a disappointment. My hope has been that if suddenly models usable in TOW keep selling like hotcakes (including legacy armies), GW would at least make MTOs to Dark Elves, Vampire Counts and other legacy factions.

I noticed that the 'classic' Dwarfs and Dark Elfs are sold out in the Cities of Sigmar range, alongside basically every Beastmen unit.
I want to believe this is people buying minis to use in TOW , rather than basic GW supply issues.

I'm genuinely surprised by the doom and gloom surrounding the game, especially on TGA. Despite it being a Specialist Game, and GW being GW, I've genuinely not been this hyped about anything Warhammer related in a while. It's Warhammer Fantasy! Just like I remember it! And they're bringing old models back, in metal, that I'd have to sell my kidney for on ebay! Maybe I'm simple but to me that's enough to deter the existential dread of our world irl, at least for a while.
I feel there's a certain apprehension towards TOW on these forums, but if I'd go to the WHFB Reddit communities I'd instead have to see people slagging AoS. Which I don't want either! Maybe things will eventually balance out when/if we get the TOW subforums and people realise its OK to be fans to both.

Would love a lot of the Empire stuff to come back, but jeez, that demigryph Theodore Bruckner is riding is legit terrifying.
I mean, it's like weirdly unsettling to me. Really glad they went with more "lion" instead of bird for the plastic kit. I still like it, and certain features would look great on the knights (sharper beak/claws), but somehow the FW one just looks "wrong", like it's more a creature of Chaos than a noble beast. Still like it though.
It's the front paws, I think. Or rather, lack thereof, instead being the claws of a bird of prey. The plastic models also look somehow slightly chunkier (floofy bird-cats 🐱), and the leaner FW model looks ravenous (scary beast 🦅).

I always read the Spanish wiki as ‘Sigmar Erotica’, and people do keep saying they want more AoS books…
Personally I also don’t want to see DoK rolled in with the Malerion faction. I want the Malerion shadow elves to be their own weird thing. And honestly I’ll be really disappointed if they’re basically the shadow elves from Daughters of Khaine but as a faction, they’ve had two goes at them now and both just leave me really cold.
Although I wouldn't go that far, I'm genuinely saddened that we never got 'Warhammer Romance' as a Black Library sub-genre. Imagine the trials and tribulations of forbidden love between a duardin and an aelf...
As for the rest, I have to agree. AoS is supposed to be wild, give us something else than a retread of Dark Elves (even if wouldn't mind seeing those old Dark Elves actually get support in TOW, but I digress).

Another Almanack, this time on converting up 'unit fillers'. Nice to see some conversion/kitbashing articles out of WarCom.
Never thought I'd read that out of a modern GW article.
This was a genuine surprise and made me extremely happy - please continue encouraging converting, GW, just like back in ye olden days!

The coming of King Trugg made me think of the other destruction Kings and suddenly the idea of the
AoS version of the Christmas carol “We Three Kings” came to me.So this happened...
🎶Three Twisted Kings🎶(sung to 'We Three Kings')
King Brodd of the Gargants, vengeance in sight,
Obelisk wielded, he joins in the fight.
Almighty stomping, battlefield shaking,
Foes to be crushing, revenge to be taking.
(Chorus) Ohhhh,
Bad Moon above, guiding the fray,
Three twisted kings will have their say.
Loonking, Gargants, and Troggoth might,
Bound by Da Moon on this fateful night.
(Chorus)
Loonking Skragrott, small yet so sly,
Moon Onna Stikk, held up to the sky.
The Loonking's Entreaty, guiding Da Moon,
Under its glow, his Gitz bring the doom.
(Chorus)
King Trugg awakens, fierce and so grand,
Ironshell Club clenched in his hand.
Leystone malfunction, migraine rage,
Wandering leylines, a king’s rampage.
(Chorus)
Three kings diverse, yet under one boon,
Guided eternal by the shifting Bad Moon.
Though each seeks his own, in this dark affair,
Bound by Da Bad Moon, that hangs in the air.
Ohhhhhhhhhhh,
Bad Moon leavin, dawn drawing near,
But it’s madcap pull, will always be here,
Loonking, and Gargants, and Troggoth might,
Will follow Da Moon, night after night.
—-
And so, King Brodd, Skragrott the Loonking, and King Trugg move under the twisted, leering faces of Da Bad Moon. Their uneasy alliance a testament to the Moon’s chaotic allure, each vying for its errant blessing.Posts like this is why I come to tga, the best place on the Internet

For those who haven't read the ramblings that go with today's rumour engine I heartily recommend it. imho GW are at there absolute best when they are blatantly not taking things including themselves too seriously
https://www.warhammer-community.com/2023/09/12/the-rumour-engine-12th-september-2023/
This is the kind of madness I love, the bit about Organised Leak Department and taking bribes by Zoat players (I wish!) had me in stitches

The duality of man
@DoctorPerils is right, except we need plushies of ALL the pets. And if GW thinks we need an extra incentive to buy them (we don't), they can include optional rules making the plushies AoS equivalent of 40K Titans. Let the age of plushy meta begin!

I'm really glad for you!
Specially after knowing @KingBrodd never actually bought King Brodd, a lukewarm reaction from you to these miniatures would have shaken everything I took for granted.
Have fun with these lasses!
PD: No offence, King! I actually commend your restrain and sensible gestion of your financesI'm sure those who have perused these forums a longer while have noticed I've not been around...well, in a while - truth to be told (and I realise the dangers of uttering this on this board) I've not felt AoS hype in a while, committing arch-heresy and even purchasing my first 40K figures in a decade (😱).
That is, genuinely, until this announcement. Legitimately I haven't felt this hype about plastic crack in a long while, and this time I can afford them. Thinking about duardin makes screeching customers a bit more worth it (remember to be kind to customer service, we're people too) 😄

The only worry I have is that instead of the conga lines 40K had a few editions ago, TOW will get armies doing line dance. I mean, unless there's restrictions in place what prevents me from running a 100-man (well, Dwarf) wide unit of dwarfs with great axes lmao

further slight rumor--apparently the KC Open did a Q&A?? the speaker alluded to “You’ll get something you guys have wanted for a long time, something I played when I first started playing Fantasy.” which OP has taken as meaning new Dark Elves.
bittersweetly, we have more from this Q&A than Warhammerfest unless I missed something...
Malerion finally coming????
(I wish it'd be chorfs...)

I like how there's a notification that the novel was sold out over 5 hours ago, yet there's a queue, that's paused, so I can't enter the webstore...I just wanted to check AoS novels on sale, but that'll have to wait haha
