Especially with small model range armies. FEC got the cryptguard which could have replaced ghouls but they kept the ghouls too to bolster the army range. Iron jaws got their ard boys replaced but arguably it has paid off nicely. As the fireslayers are newer than ardboys and ghouls I highly suspect they will be expended on and not replaced.

Thats what is making me iffy. Its a load of arguably poor sculpts with some nice new ones for a very high price. I am tempted as I would like to see what I missed and tomb kings are very interesting but yikes on the price.

Is £175 for the tomb kings worth it?

i think its because GW said there would be a reveal today and all we got was the old world coming soon.

Im tempted by the tomb king set having got into the hobby when age of sigmar launched. I am a bit unsure on models being part metal still. Will they hold up at all or should I just collect the plastic/resin sets. I haven't used metal models before.

I dont believe there are any HH minis in metal or finecast yet here here they are with the old world with metal. Would have been nice to have everything in forge world resin at least

They are already putting their listings up for double the typical retail snare.

Do we know if the old world sets are limited releases? I would like to get the tomb kings one but do not have need for it at the moment as I am recovering from xmas

So for 2024 I plan to maintain momentum in painting on the weekends. It was a change going from university to working full time as I have a lot less time on my hands but I have been painting on the weekends and some evenings and actually have gotten alot done. I am focusing purely on my FEC and Nids armies and plan to not start any others which will be a challenge. I am trying not to buy much until I have painted what I have as I got alot for Christmas which should last me a while. I do want to get the FEC characters due out and nids units I don't have but I need to remember they wont be limited or going anywhere so they can wait. I fell into a bit of a habbit or impulse buying in 2023 so I am trying to approach the hobby more healthily. Aside from that I would like to dabble in 3d printing and designing some custom parts for my models to make them more unique, thats an ambitious goal though so I will see what time brings.

Ok thank you!

Hi hi, I have picked up the new set. I plan to do living city COS. How does this work as my understanding is the living city is also sylvaneth? Can COS have sylvaneth units in the army? Not really sure how these things work. Thank you!

I agree, personally I have been supporting the idea of more inclusive painting standards as opposed to suggesting people shouldnt paint if they dont want to. Its more providing resources for people to learn different more accessible methods of painting, as well as building acceptance and compassion for different skill levels. personally I suffer with bad eyesight and shakey hands so I often make little mistakes and avoid methods like edge highlights all together now. I spent years floating in and out of the hobby as it was frustrating. It took me a while to learn that exploring different methods and levels of painting is ok. It is interesting though as I believe ThePaintingPhase have covered that even professional GW painters make mistakes that are photoshopped after.

Thank you so much!! I really appreciate the support. Ive got a proper mic now so Im working on a few projects for the channel. Yeah I agree, theres been some good sentiments in general the past year or so with the painting phase and slap chop, but there is still alot of room for improvement. Theres so many pro painting channels too with all these super complex tutorials. It will be nice to just do things that the average person can easily get to grips with and feel accomplished even if its not the next golden daemon. Once there is a bigger audience I will look into do more requested tutorials and content too. Its exciting times.

I 100% agree. Fomo, piles of shame, painting standards are all big things I want to cover. Like piles of shame seem to be celebrated? I remember getting into the hobby and people telling me until I have a pile of shame im not properly into the hobby, theres some awareness its bad but it can be so overwhelming for people if you buy an army all at once. Just letting people know that it can be overwhelming, the downsides and how to avoid/tackle them is a video I have in the works for Thursday. Fomo links into it a bit as people buy stuff incase they might need it later on or something when its not something they would buy normally. I personally struggled in the past with it and just having more voice to say dont give in can help raise awareness. “Mediocre” painting being treated as bad is something that I’ve witnessed so much even just in this past week of delving into the community and people reaching out to me. Not everyone has eyes of an eagle and pinpoint accuracy, alongside buckets of time. I think people can make incredible works of art in this hobby but art is so subjective I don’t think it helps when the standard is box art levels of quality which professionals paint as a full time job with years of skill, experience and natural ability. I think even calling it mediocre or battle ready can construct the idea that its less than when in reality thats up to each and every person to decide and if the painter is happy thats all that matters. Helping people remove those limits and encouraging people to try different techniques is definitely a focus for me. Someone might look at a contrast model or slapchop and think that looks really professional.

Thats such an amazing idea! It would be a good video topic for how tabletop gaming could be more inclusive! Thank you so much! My next video is on pile of shames which Im planning to have done this thursday. Ive got so many ideas though such as easy tutorials, covering different methods, promoting inclusivity of all painting styles and levels. I need to learn the games properly but once I do ill be doing easy to follow how to plays. I would love to do either streams or videos where people submit photos of their current projects and their concerns and I help them with encouraging and spotlighting work that isnt that professional standard. Just this week I have seen so many people getting overwhelmed and stressed with their work as its not that professional level and alot of people limit themselves to traditional base, shade, edge highlights etc which are great but if you have bade eyes or unsteady hands or even just a lack of time its really challenging.

Thank you so much everyone for your comments they are so helpful and will help me moving forward! I am more than happy to link the channel, it is call Mind and Minis and the link is here: https://youtube.com/@mindandminis Im happy to take it down if mods deem it against the rules. My aim to begin with will be to focus on the building/painting/lore parts of the hobby, I dont feel like I know enough about the gaming side to comment on it but once ive learnt more I will definitely do more on it to promote the benefits it has for more socially active people, its also incredibly academic on the brain which is great for people driven that way. I have been really inspired to tackle traditions and views in the hobby that make it hard for some people too, as mentioned piles of shame while potentially fine can definitely make the hobby overwhelming and turns the hobby into buying models not painting or playing with them, it’s unfortunately something thats really embedded and almost celebrated. I will definitely be doing really basic and easy to follow painting guides using tools and techniques accessible to most. My eyesight and hand steadiness are not the best and it took me a long time to be happy with what I achieve. I really hope the channel is beneficial to you folk, it’s something im really passionate about and want to help people like me enjoy it more!

Hello! I will preface this thread by apologising if it isn’t allowed, however I have recently started a channel dedicated to promoting positivity and mental health awareness through the hobby. I wanted to gather feedback and thoughts from the community about what would make the hobby even better for all people! I believe warhammer can be an amazing tool to help people who may be experiencing personal challenges mentally as there are so many immersive worlds to explore and different parts of the hobby exercise different areas of the brain. Topics that I am already working on are hobby burnout, personal expectations when painting/comparing your work to others, general healthy practices within the hobby, and some easy to use painting guides. So, what aspects of the hobby do you think needs more positivity and awareness? I know the hobby can already be really positive, and the purpose of this is to bolster that side and create a space where everyone feels included. There are so many people out there who shine a light on the negatives of the hobby, whilst acknowledging those negatives, I wish to create something that focuses on those positives. Thank you!!

Anyone selling any new OBR stuff? Looking to get into the army. Can pay through paypal.

Does anyone know if the grinkraks looncourt would be good for loonboss/loonboss on squig proxies, im not sure on base sizes

Ive been out the hobby for a bit, i see there is new chameleon skinks, I know they are warcry but are they also a replacement for the current molds? Or something different? Thanks.

I’m sure you’ll be fine there’s been pleanty of the past few available even after launch

I’ll be buying the box for the Sylvaneth and selling the skaven half but I’ll list it for a 3rd of the box price as the Sylvaneth side it’s nuts

That’s a lot cheaper compared to other boxes. Especially with all the new models.

Do we have prices for Saturdays pre orders yet?

I’ve been told that non human cities units may be moved to legends if not souped into other books
