  1. Typically they do but not sure how much detail it will go into. Should be enough to give a good idea about what has been happening though
  2. Well it's confirmed we're getting a 4th edition I know most people have guessed it's happening but it does confirm it's coming
  3. Big miss in my opinion if they aren't the 13th
  4. My two pence I know the GW studio have a lot of focus on competitive style gaming in the past as that is what a lot of people wanted. Discounting the tournament scene, people just want to be able to bring an army that is vaguely matching in size and ability to their opponent without too much arrangement of things. They tried the narrative route with 1st edition of AOS which lead to 'Mo Comp' to give a framework of how to have forces of roughly the same size. This lead to GW moving back to points but evolving the system into what we have now. I suspect we will see a more balanced approach to AOS in the new edition and may see a more narrative focus but I have no idea what this will look like. The problem in my opinion with narrative is that it's tough to sell things for it as you tend to be focused on a few factions and have to produce a lot of material. This also means you don't sell as many things as the target audience will be smaller. Maybe they will do softback books like the Osprey history books where they focus on a period or battle. Maybe stuff will appear in White Dwarf. I have no idea but that's what I would do.
  5. I know this has been discussed in the main original topic but thought I would ask the question as we will have new people looking at this and wondering (and I'm quite curious myself). What is the ideal unit size for 2000 points? I know the answer depends on what the unit is but it's just to start the discussion. I've not had any games yet as busy with Warmaster but from what I've read of the rules, the sizes I'm thinking about are around 18 to 24 in a 6 x 3 or 6 x 4 formation depending on unit size. This is a rough thought and took a lot of effort to forget about the big unit sizes of the previous edition. So what are you running or thinking about?
  6. please don't I think this is what GW have been doing for a while. It's a combination of keeping things easy for customers and probably easier for them to mass produce. Resin will be kept for smaller rangers or things you will need less of. Going back to 40K, will be interesting with Adeptus Custodes about resin as it makes up a big chunk of variety for the range. Just checking is that an assumption or something you've been told by anybody That makes sense if we are getting a nice reveal at Adepticon! Now I'm starting to struggle with picking up some Clanrats!
  7. Just have to say it took a lot of will power not to go into the GW by work on my lunch break and buy some Skaven stuff! Quite excited about it now!
  8. This is a quick information stickie about what is Warhammer: The Old World (aka The Old World or TOW) and how to get into it. This should present most of the information you need to get into the game as well. What is it? The Old World is the latest version of Warhammer Fantasy Battles, which is a game by Games Workshop that has you as the General of an army of rank and file units, set in a Fantasy world which is known as The Old World. It's classed as a 'Historical' game as the old world was destroyed in an event know as 'The End Times'. The Deities, Souls and magic that made the world ended up as the Mortal Realms where Age of Sigmar is set (Age of Sigmar is classed as the 'current' period). Why should I play it? If you like the idea of seeing two armies set in a fantasy world facing each other in rank and file units, this is the game for you. What do I need to play? To play a game, you will need the following: A copy of the Rules An army Dice and Tape measure A board to play on (typically 4' x 6' board) An opponent with an army You can get the rules from Games Workshop or any good stockists (maybe check out the advert banner above?). The rules are available as a separate rule book or within an army box. At time of writing there are only two army boxes - Bretonnians and Tomb Kings. There are also army books with the forces of Evil - The Ravening Hordes (Orcs and Goblins, Beastmen, Tomb Kings, and Warriors of Chaos) vs the forces of Good - Forces of Fantasy (The Empire, Bretonnia, High Elves, Wood Elves and Dwarfs). Other armies are available but they are currently classed as Legacy and available from the GW downloads page (Note - most players are fine with Legacy armies being used, but if you play at an official GW event you can't use them as they aren't supported). Also to add, but the Downloads page also contains the FAQ and guides to working with metal and resin - https://www.warhammer-community.com/the-old-world-downloads/ Anything Else? Just explore the rule book, pick models you like the look of and play some games. Oh and have fun
  9. Thanks. Hes a bit gobby but seems fun. My wife and son like him which is the key thing.
  10. I think the Kruleboyz are amazing models. I love the look of them. However, I HATE the ones from the Dominion/Starter sets as they seem to be quite fiddly to assemble (might be my age). 100% GW need to sort out the production issues and hopefully they are on their way to doing that.
  11. Update No painting has happened so far, mainly due to work, Mother’s Day and me giving into my wife and getting this fuzzball… Hoping to do some stuff this weekend but currently hyped about the Adepticon reveals and trying not to get distracted.
  12. Probably. Might be more Sunday with the preview but I don't think it will need much hyping. I'm expecting another teaser trailer.
  13. I was going to say it probably won't due to Fat Shark having the trademark but then I remembered it's a licence from GW so they own it! I think it's unlikely though to remove any confusion with the game. (would be really cool though!!!)
  14. I think there will be a fair chunk of 40K if the rumours at moment are true (Blood Angels and Krieg!) and with the Amazon TV shows appearing later this year, I wouldn't be surprised. However, it's highly likely it's 4th edition of Age of Sigmar this year. We've seen the Skaven weapon team leak which will mean we will see a full reveal or a teaser. I'm not aware of any other events between Adepticon and June/July apart from UK Games Expo and I don't think they will show anything new off there. I was at one about 7 years ago when the Primaris were first shown off and I don't think they did anything special outside of the seminars apart from a web reveal. So there is a good chance we will see something juicy. So have some faith in the Horned Rat (or quiver in fear as you should do!)
  15. +++ Mod Hat On +++ Can I suggest we start a new topic around anniversary miniatures and the meta watch Thanks
  16. Just to repeat this folks… My advice is to write a constructive email to uk.custserv@gwplc.com and ask them about it. Say you would love to have an option to get one of these and explain where you are. I'm sure if enough people write in and write in a constructive way (use common sense here please!!!), you can make them aware about the demand for such models. Please email them. Enough demand will get them to do something (hopefully). PS - let’s get back to rumours.
  17. Yup, although in my experience any sort of lead tends to do less designing and more meetings (I say this from experience ). He's also a ex-Eavy metal painter and has been at GW for around 20 years. He's designed some amazing miniatures (like Maugan Ra). He seems a nice bloke as well. I'll have a look at his socials later if he is posting lots of Skaven stuff.
  18. +++ Mod Hat On +++ Just an update for EVERYBODY. TGA is a place for EVERYBODY, no matter your background, gender or race. We will not tolerate abusive behaviour towards anyone and there has been some comments made by @MitGas recently as well as in the past, which crosses the line. They have been banned from using the site for a month. I have also chosen not to remove the comments as I try not to do censorship and I want people to see what happens if you behave in this way. TGA is for everybody BUT if you act in a way that is abusive towards anyone, we will react. This is a forum to discuss Warhammer and how much we enjoy it. Please keep it that way Thanks
  19. I don't think a petition would do much. Lots of people emailing "I want those models but it's difficult for me to get. Make it easier for me to buy them" will probably have more sway on a company selling stuff for a living
  20. My advice is to write a constructive email to uk.custserv@gwplc.com and ask them about it. Say you would love to have an option to get one of these and explain where you are. I'm sure if enough people write in and write in a constructive way (use common sense here please!!!), you can make them aware about the demand for such models.
  21. Totally get the grumpiness around event miniatures and availability outside UK. My advice is to write a constructive email to uk.custserv@gwplc.com and ask them about it. Say you would love to have an option to get one of these and explain where you are. I'm sure if enough people write in and write in a constructive way (use common sense here please!!!), you can make them aware about the demand for such models. Anyway, back to rumours.... More heavy boxes going to US. Might be 4th edition or might be something silly like Space Marine branded shampoo. Who knows? PS it looks fine on my monitor, so squint a bit
  22. Personally there will only be a doom for them if Dark Elves appear in The Old World. This is probably years away, so I wouldn't worry. If it does happen, they I would either expect a reimagining or drafted into a new concept, but we may be in 5th or 6th edition then!
  23. Yup as well as get people going to local stores 'just in case' theres any in stock. Problem is when brought at local GW's, is that stores have targets to meet each month. Whilst the store manager might pull a face if somebody brought all of this, they would still allow it so they hit their targets. It's totally annoying wherever the person buying it, is doing it for profit or to help out other gamers but from a store point of view they will look the other way. Warhammer World may be different though. Yup. Very curious if the Darkoath would have been shown off or they were something that was going to be shown over next few weeks. Makes you wonder if showing them off early means we are getting a 4th edition reveal and they will devote more time to it?
  24. I wouldn't be surprised if they do something around Dwarfs in The Old World.
