@Double Misfire oh yeah, but my nostalgia is more for the setting than specific characters, and I'd like the writers to be given a chance at creativity. I won't be terribly upset if the Twins are included, but it would be cool to see some new heroes instead.
@Kronos I think they'll hold off on Kul until a later campaign book release. That's where I'd like to see Teclis too: in a great way against chaos campaign release when he came and taught the humans magic (although me being me, I'd prefer Finreir).
I wonder about Dwarfs. Young Thorgrim arms the most obvious, but I feel like if he were getting a mini he'd have been previewed, which makes me less confident.

I'm honestly hoping they don't bring back too many old characters. In particular, I don't want Tyrion and Teclis to be in the High Elf Arcane Journal (if they come back later that's fine). Let's create some cool new characters and let them shine a bit.
As for Dwarfs, I'm a bit disappointed that they are only getting two. I kinda hoped for the White Dwarf to be included in a similar way to the Green Knight (similar idea to them), and then two normal characters.

I am significantly less fond of this chap. I had a nightmare getting him to rank up, and even on 25mm I suspect he'll be a pain.

It's clear that the new stuff sells out fast. I am quite happy that the Arcane Journals sell out so fast.
I just wish they'd come back as fast too. I still want a Bretonnian one, and I only have a Tomb Kings one because someone happened to be returning it when I was in Warhammer World.
But yes, I think it's a good sign. People want this stuff.

He's not on a chariot. Just a giant two-headed wolf.
Oh my bad, for some reason I remembered chariot.

There were these ones which are listed on the wiki as being 6e;
Not sure if they ended up being repackaged bugmans rangers though as they look similar? I remember these being sold in blisters of 3 back in the day!
I think they were doing double duty. They were Dwarf Rangers, but if you added Bugman to the unit they became Bugman's Rangers.
-
Anyone who's interested: if you search Arcane Journal Orc and Goblin Tribes on GW's webstore you can find it already. Same for the Card Pack (I just searched Card Pack and it was one of the automatic options).
Technically they aren't available for a few minutes still.

Ah I didn't realise they were built from quarrellers too. I remember there being a bespoke kit in 6th for rangers. I think they were metal? I guess these won't be coming back then like the metal longbeards.
These ones maybe? They date back to 5th edition I think (maybe even 4th?).
In 6th I think you were meant to use Quarrellers too, but there were even fewer options to make them actually look like rangers.

I think would be a good candidate for their own plastic kit-nice hoods etc.. Highland Miniatures rangers look pretty good as an alternative.
Agreed. Quarrellers with a big axe feel like Quarrellers with a big axe. I think cloaks and perhaps a bunch of travelling gear (backpacks etc.) would sell them as Rangers.

I think they mention the Quarreller kit being able to make rangers, but they also weren't definitive about what older metal models were coming back. Love the Bugmans rangers models, I have a regiment of the last 2 versions and they are great models.
I just looked up the Quarreller kits instructions on r/WarhammerInstructions and you can make them into Rangers by gluing big axes on their backs.

Not sure if I'd missed it but I couldn't see rangers talked about in the warcom article? Have they been slated for a re-release do we know?
What were the most recent Ranger minis? Were they still the old Bugmans ones*?
*I used their champion as my Warhammer Quest Dwarf. Great mini.

I like non-alcoholic beer. Do I have to take the Slayers oath now?
What kind of slayer would I be? A foam head slayer?I hardly drink anymore. It takes too much out of me when I do. Gone are those halcyon days wren I could drink then pints and be in lectures the next day without any ill effect.
But them I'm also 6'6" so I think I already fail at being a dwarf.

Discovering beer and ditching toy soldiers for a bit is a rite of passage. 🍻
I did it twice... well the first one wasn't beer, it was girls (age 14 or so). Then I briefly returned to GW before discovering beer 😄

You're thinking of these plastic Warriors, released in 2000 worldwide (though released about a year earlier in various non English speaking territories that didn't get Battlefleet Gothic translated - don't ask!), with the first 6th Dwarf army book in 2005 (also pictured under the spoiler tag)
The plastic Warriors rereleased for TOW, were released alongside the second 6th ed Dwarf army book in 2005 (both shown under the tag)
Sigh, why did I, foolishly, assume there was only one army book released in 6th edition. Notably I went to uni in 2004 and stopped collecting GW soon after.
Given their age there holding up fairly well.

The Warriors kit came out with the second 6th ed army book in 2005 (along with Crossbows/Thunderers and the Cannon/Organ Gun)
I thought that, but they aren't those warriors. Those didn't have sculpted metal shields, but rather flat wooden round ones with icons that could be glued on top.

I was never a Dwarfs guy, but I love seeing all the new and returning stuff. Really impressed by the general quality of the kits, their age taken into consideration. How old is the Warriors kit?
Warriors are, apparently, 7th edition, so 2010ish? Seem to be at about the point GW were moving over to digital sculpting.

That's why I think the Armies of infamy are excuses as a projects instead of armies to collect. Tomb Kings and Bretonnia has rules for units that doesn't have miniatures, and the journal explicity says that you need to convert or use diferent paint schemes.
Agreed. If anything, I'd say I'm more convinced they'll include them as an army of infamy now that Ungrim has been released. It's a big project (unless you're happy to buy tonnes of metal slayers), but that's the point.

When Orc & Goblins didn't have a new plastic kit I assumed they had only created ones for the two launch factions. But now we have this great kit. so now I wonder if other factions WILL get new plastic kits. If so I wonder why O&G got skipped? We know they only have limited resources, but why choose this dwarf kit over a new Orc kit?
Good question. I assume it's based on the predicted popularity of factions, but I'm honestly surprised that O&G are considered less popular than Dwarfs.
Other possibility is they want each faction to have a plastic generic "leader" kit. O&G already have their Boar/foot orc Warboss/Banner kit, but Dwarfs didn't.

Story dating back to the 4th ed Battle Bestiary and expanded on in the Dogs of War armybook. Golgfag and his ogres (for a fee) helped Ungrim defeat a massive orc army at the Battle of Broken Leg Gulley (a net win for Ungrim, Thorgrim rewarded him with the dragon cloak his TOW model lacks after), only to sign on with some other orcs and become a thorn in Ungrim's side later.
Ungrim later captured and imprisoned Golfgfag, along with most of the orc and goblin army he'd joined. During his short stay in dwarf jail, Golgfag got so hungry he ate all the orcs and goblins, and then his ogres, bar Skaff, his best mate, who out of sentimentality he decided to eat slow, and had only eaten the leg of when the dwarfs discovered him. Ungrim was so impressed/horrified he had Golgfag taken a very long way away from Karak Kadrin and released.
Golgfag and Skag, note the missing leg:
This is so Oldhammer! I'd expect a rewriting if this to make it fit with more modern Warhammer style (Dwarfs taking orcs prisoner? No way) but I think there's a good chance it'll feature given he's missing his dragon cloak.
