Reading your commentary, I just realised as well: what if beastmen are indeed getting a really metal revamp so hard that their factions name changes and the current range goes to TOW? (Also, as I started on the TOW subforum, its anoying they want to avoid the overlap between AoS and TOW with skavens while the range is THE SAME *loses his mind, again*)

The skaven range is literally the same

So, if the legacy factions are going to be separated from TOW because theyre getting reranges... Does that mean that beastmen reject modernity and embrace square?

It was a meme, but... A legends army is an army that doesnt get updates nor is suported, as stated. It can either have useless rules like chorfs in AoS, or be broken. The fact is, the 9 core factions will get their updates and support, making Legends armies almost dead on arrival. So, when playing against one of those youll allways have the lower hand. Or do you really know any traitor guard players that arent using the CSM or AM codexes? Also, for the WAP fans: a big chunk of the fanbase is lazy and cant even tie their shoes whitout GWs approval. Yes, you can bring on home made rules, but good luck because in this playerbase you can find a lot of stonewalls if going into foreign communities (youd be surprised). Damn, the campaigns on our group of 40k are stalled bcs many players refuse to play the vainilla crusade rules, or homebrew ones for the matter. Even with the Fantasy community, probably the most opened to homebrew rules, theres allways itches, and a lot of guys that refuse to use their 6000 points armies because they hate AoS and the millonary enterprise told them Fantasy was dead. Youd be surprised (again) to know how many people is in that situation. And also, forbidden to go into tournaments. Alltho, I dont mind that very much, the gesture still sucks. And that, I must restate, is happenin with my old af skaven army that is a 98% Fantasy range, which is like telling me I cant drink a cocacola, here, have a Pepsi, pepsis are also cool, but youre not allowed to drink them at parties, and also your Pepsi was 6 days outside of the fridge.

Welp, after 9 years undecided, Im finally taking the bases of my rats, and turning them round. I guess Ill go an try some AoS now, but Ill also try to buy movememt trays adaptes to round bases. Not going to make a hard effort on going from 20x20 square to 25x25 square tho, safe for some minis that dont have rules on AoS (like standard bearers)

When you can't have Fantasy supported rules because you are an Age of Sigmar army, but you can't have Age of Sigmar miniatures because you are a Fantasy army

You know, I can believe. Yes, I can believe that GW IS releasing skavens this summer (still doubtful tho) But if so... Why delay It so much? Im sorry for the players of the 99% of the rest of the setting, but why ****** delay skavens so hard? I do love kruleboyz and have a little army, but why put them on front of the freaking skavens, f.e.? Does GW really that the skavendom has less players than the flesh-eaters? Im not saying skavens should have had a renewal in 2018 when things started running hot, but man, It has been SIX YEARS eversince, why the hell build such a long wait? Im tired of my ****** ninja monkeys GW, just let me give you 50 euros for a 10 rat-squad or whatever, I dont care bro, I just want a whole new unit that isnt from another game.

Which is funny since the Empire was also on a civil War, lol

Well, seems like my Fantasy range of skavens, from the still 98% Fantasy range of skavens, wont be able to be played on the new Fantasy game, and that GW wants me to instead use my skavens to play Age of Sigmar, a not-Fantasy game, with my 98% Fantasy range of skavens GW, sometimes you make it so hard...

Yes but, what about the legacy pdf-free armies? Almost all of them have specific lores

Um, so, reading warcom it seems like the specific magic lores will only be on the arcane journals, while the rest of the armies will have to use the 8 winds of magic. Does that mean that darl elves/chorfs/skavens/etc wont have specific lores until their arcane journal are published? Once written and read, it does seem like a dumb question, but I guess I see GW (at least) slightly capable of doing that

... Did GW actually read a complain by me, listened, and fixed the issue? Now im half happy, half over the Moon, and half scared

Just take the Seb Perbet designs from the 7th ed wave and take them a step further. the underworlds warbands actually show a great direction in that sense (f.e. im going to use the Splittershank crew as night runners on TOW and they fit very well with Seb minis for that matter)

Oh, btw, now here it comes one very real bitching moment about a big thing that sucks about all of this: RELEASE ALL OF THIS ON SPANISH AS WELL Like, goddamnit, Fantasy has aaaaaallways been a very important game in Spain. Back at the day, the ratio between fantasy/40k players was ABYSMAL, like nowadays with 40k and any other games. Buds came to play on miniatures, they started warhammers. We had stores in almost every big city. And it was easy af to find players from Cádiz to A Coruña, passing thru Madrid, Valladolid, or Barcelona. ******, you could even find Fantasy tournaments with 50ish buds on ****** 2016 when the game was already dead! And some of the most popular "prologues" to 8th rules were made on this country. At some point it was easier to find spanish people playing warhammer than chess! Nowadays, true, 40k is the current Main Game, but i know many spanish bros that havent lost their faith on the game, that play AoS with square bases, and that still keep their big armies, waiting for The Old World to come. To now see that, at least on a release note, the rulebook for the precious return of Fantasy, the once Main Game on Spain, is ENGLISH only. Esto es inadmisible. GIVE US THE BOOKS ON SPANISH GAMES WORKSHOP LA MADRE QUE OS PARIÓ

Just saw the battle report and... this is actually very good? It really is a better battle report than most of those that we had on the WD during 7th and 8th. It's compelling, has some narrative, and can be understood whitout even knowing anything about english. Credit where credit's due, it really acomplishes the objective to show the mechanics of the TOW to old fans, and teach them to new ones. So, the fact that this was uploaded behind a paywall just ashtonises me.

Valrak has some shady stuff, but he definetely has an inner source, Bro was the only Guy that predicted the whole Leviathan box, the Tyranids release, and the contents for the current KT boxes. Alltho, you can really feel about what does he care...

Tbh the only rumour sources I trust are whitefang and valrak. Dont see any reason to put some confidence in anyone else.

Ok so, I hear you BoC, I know ur getting nervous, thats fair, ok, this can be worryikg, im with you all, huh, yes But hear me out: new rats first.

Nitpicky bitching moment: just make a pdf with all of this gw, bro

Few things to note here: -Yeap, everything up in size, and now i have to change like 300-350 bases, ****** -No hero options for melee guys? Unless the "Commanders Of The Warlord Clans " option has standard options, i guess heroes wont be a thing in TOW -No slaves -No FW stuff -No spetial characters in sight -Packmasters and Master Moulders? Will one of them be a character? -No Verminlords -No Stormfiends

Huh, didnt remember well then. I totally saw GW capable of holdin a mini for so long lol

First 4 months will be chill. Maybe just adapting the bases of my old Fantasy army to both ToW and AoS Then, in may, suposedly I have The Damned crowdfunding minis coming to home, so Ill be some months ocupied with it. the lastest part of the year, I dunno. Im literally holdin until I see what is GW cookin (gw, gimme rats)

I mean, back before the grimdark turnaround, bretonians USED to be pure good guys. And norscans weren't murdering barbaric ******, but people trying to survive in hostile lands that could take care of a baby slann and have so much flexibility on their ranks that that same slann could become the leader of a clan.

Rumour engines can hold for a lot of time, until a RE recently revealed as a necron part we had one holding since 2019
