I like the fact that everybody in the studio listens to feedback and things can change. I also like they are contactable and will answer questions. For example... also Phil Kelly is doing a fantastic series of tweets with random facts about the mortal realms. This level of contact was unheard of years ago and shows how great GW are now

It was him and a great job he did with it. He’s worked on quite a few things now and is a nice guy in person. I doubt that’s going to happen and I suspect we will see something for one of the great cities next annual they do +++ Mod Hat On +++ Also can I ask you to be mindful about your posts. I’ve been checking you last few and they are generally negative or designed to get a reaction out of people. This is not the behaviour we want on this forum. Please refrain from acting like this

+++ Mod Hat On +++ I think this topic has reached its end as it’s going round and round in circles and I’m going to lock it. Firstly, generally the discussion has been great in this topic but I just need to remind some of you that TGA is for everybody and we should be nice to each other. Not everybody is going to agree on some things but there is no need to act childish or rude towards them. Secondly, this discussion has been going on for years. I remember going back to 96 and my first visits to Internet forums and people were saying the same thing. I remember playing DBM around the same time and people were saying the same thing then. It’s all a matter of perspective 😉 But I do need to point out that what we have now with GW with everything they do is a million times better than it used to be. So whilst some things may never be perfect for you, enjoy what we have now as it’s never been this good. Also don’t forget AOS (and many GW games) are just a framework for you to meet up with somebody and play a game against them. If you both agree something isn’t quite right, tweak it. Want to do something with matched play as well? Tweak it. As long as you all know what is happening, it’s fine.

Agreed but I think it depends what we get shown next week. I suspect it’s a reveal of the race name as well as Teclis model so March is probably right. Also I wouldn’t be surprised if they drop a Seraphon release (new book, spells and terrain piece) between now and March.

I quite like the design as it has shapes which you can seen in the Deepkin range, which nicely links these. With us finding out more next week, this could suggest a Feb release?!?

+++ Mod Hat On +++ Two things: 1) Back to rumours please. 2) @Icegoat can you stop winding people up.

Same here! Nice shock to read about and looking forwards to the reveal next week. Hopefully means models are by March as I have some vouchers I need to use by then 😁

+++ Mod Hat On +++ Just a reminder - when participating in this topic, just be mindful how you reply. I know some of you are quite passionate about it but just make sure how you are replying is not offensive. Ive just had to tidy this topic up after some reports and a review. So however you like to play, just bear in mind other people may see it very differently.

This sounds awesome! I would love to see this. Hopefully we will get some rumours about it soon

It’s LVO. I think it will be a another teaser of the Pointy Aelves for AOS and we will learn the name of them

I chose not to do this as a private message because I want to make it clear to all of you we want you to treat each other nice. I’m completely happy for you to disagree on things, just don’t call each other names or be nasty to each other.

+++ Mod Hat On +++ Quick warning as I appreciate this is a new book - @Phasteon & @Eevika please stop bickering with each other. This forum is for everybody and we expect member to treat each other with respect. Any further behaviour similar to the last few posts you have added to this forum, will result in Warnings point being issued.

Hard to say. I think it will be a bit of both as I think these Aelves will be trying to recreate the old world glory days when they had a big empire, so I suspect they will be a bit war hungry. Still only a couple of weeks before a teaser

I do think in general most historical gamers are all about the story of the battle and doing fun stuff with the narrative. But this group were the complete oppersite and some thought themselves as experts. It generally led to games that became frustrating as you couldn’t get past turn two as if you had a lucky dice roll it turned into a grumpy debate about what could do what. I just wanted to play games. Anyway, I have faith in GW that the Old World game will be fun and great to play. Not sure it’s something I would jump straight into unless there’s a good gaming group near by.

I was not aware about that (just had time to have a look). In that case it’s different but in the past we’ve had people want to do recasts of current models which is not what we want on this forum.

I don’t know a lot about the scene down under but I know this happened quite a few years ago (see date of the article you’ve linked to 😉). The Oz scene seems great at the moment going off social media and YouTube

Lol! That is true 🤣

I hope not! I remember playing historical games when I was younger and the club I played at treated them as simulations, which basically led to arguments about what X could do against Y. As a child this put me off any game which tries to do this! Personally I’m hoping for something a bit like Warmaster and WFB. I think they will cherry pick the best bits from all games they have made over the years. Like @RuneBrush mentioned earlier, we remember the best bits more easily than the bad bits and I think a lot of games we used to play would seem clunky or not quite right.

+++ Mod Hat On +++ Welcome to the forums but to make it clear, we do not want any discussions about using molds to do recasts. It’s against the rules about copying no matter how old the miniatures are. As for your questions, a lot of the stuff you are after are in the compendium Warscroll are are supported in the current edition (2nd) unless you want to play open or narrative play. There will be no points for them unless you choose to make some up with your gaming group.

+++ Mod Hat On +++ Just a nudge but can we get back to rumours please? Think the next preview is the Las Vegas Open on 24th Jan which hopefully we will hear what other name the Pointy Aelves go by

I’m just expecting some endless spells and maybe a terrain piece. Yes it would be great to replace some of the kits but GW seem to be more focused on a couple of kits to “refresh” a range and then put more effort towards a new army such as Bonereapers and Pointy Aelves.

I suspect it’s more because Slaves to Darkness came out and the Facehammer guys are playing at a team event soon and preparing for that. Also I don’t think any of them play Ogors so they may not be interested in them. Bit hard to go into the detail they do if you aren’t interested. I’m sure they will get round to it but GW are working at such a fast rate it’s hard to keep up

Looking good Chris. Do you have any comments or are you going to remain impartial? A lot of lists to take in but I think this will be good event. Are you doing any live stuff from the day?

+++ Mod Hat On +++ Ive been reading through the last few pages of this topic and not over the moon about some of the comments here. Can I remind you, that you voice your opinion about things as long as they are constructive, aren’t overly negative, and aren’t insulting to anybody. I get some of you aren’t happy with some of the changes, but that’s no excuse to behave in this way. I have issued warning to some of you. Please just try and be constructive if you want to discuss things you don’t like.

What @tom_gore has said. If in doubt mention it to your opponent. Most of the time it’s clear what can block LOS but I tend to say what I’m doing with a unit (bit of a narrative) just so my opponent is aware.
