I took only miniatures which are mail order exclusive. A lot of old ones - beastmen, kroxigor, ironbreakers, Be'lakor and a lot of other old chars like Belegar, Ikit, Wurzah, Vlad...

Don't agree on the mage/sister. She is way over the top for the old school mordheimsisters.

The beard and missing tusks let me think the undead thing is no orc.

I really like the warcry miniatures and scatter terrain. The Underworld miniatures seem also very cool, I don't think that I can resist them. The Skink is also very cool and promising for the rest of the warband. To be honest when they talked about one of the most wished factions for underworls I was hoping for freeguild. But the new season can still deliver them.
The moment the Slaanesh Lord is released as a single miniature I am going to order him as well.

"Heroes, Heretics and a Squirrel".

And again a Warcry-Warband has me enthralled. I will buy them. No doubt.

Right, but I think it would be an important element to the OW game to tone these fantasy elements down (and the historical bits up) to make it more different/unique in style and flavour.
I am probably guilty to see my version of the old world as the true version... if I don't like the ice stuff (because it doesn't fit with my interpretation of the background materials of the old world), I can convert it on the miniatures and ignore/bend it on the background. Can't wait to see if in the distant future the WF-roleplaying game is influenced by the new stuff they are creating at GW.

If this is set during the War of the Three Emperor then that would be around the point of the Kislev founding as a kingdom.
In fact judging by the map Kislev might not even exist yet since none of its cities and towns are on the map (though that might just be work in progress).
Mmmh... now that you talk about it
"they’re able to channel the elemental magic of their realm in a similar manner to their Ice Queen"
So we know it is under the rule of a women and not a Tsar. And plural "Land of the Ice Queens" could be a hint at the Age of the three emperor... there were women at the top for a long part.

@sandlemad @obaobaboss You're all forgeting some things. That's literally one magical unit in the army. They are elite guardians of Tzarina Katarina. Would you expect them to be mundane? And they definitely fit into Kislev lore. Kislevites are close to Norsca, warhammer world becomes more high fantasy the closer to chaos wastes you get. I can believe that a personal guard of a ruler that is known for using ice magic, created a new wing of her castle out of ice and is literally described as " so suffused with the force of Ice Magic that even her flesh is cold and pale" would also use it. And TBH warhammer world was himore high fantasy than you think.
And why they started with them? Because they are completely new! Why would they start with some remade old units for Empire, when they can show us that they remember about Kislev and W:Old World can bring back those old forgotten factions?
I know, I therefore hope that the other new stuff will be less magical. For many people that was the appeal of this setting.
I mean, not even the guard of the phoenix king or the dwarven kings has magical weapons. The empire, sometime called the biggest realm of all, has knights without magical gear as the personal guard of their emperor. Sure, there was place for some fantastical stuff, but they were the exceptions. Especially from human perspective.
Edit: I realise now... I am a little bit salty that GW didn't choose to make the Kreml Guard.

I am on the same boat. I do love that they will explore some things new... Kislev eas always fascinazing for me, but please make it true to the old world. Not everything has to be magical and more than special, we have AoS for that cool style.
I want to have my low dudes and dudettes, scrap for wyrdstone and try to survive.

Am I wrong in thinking that the 4 blazons represented are Averland (it's the same emblem as in Total War, this one is the easiest), Stirland (I'm really not sure but the colors make me think about it), Middenheim (the white wolf) and Marienburg (the mermaid) ?
Should be Reikland and Talabecland (the symbols are in these provinces), the other two are right. With the names and these choices I do think it is around of the mordheim-comet.

I hope the beastmen include alsp ungors, there are none on the picture of the card.

I got into warhammer when I was searching for orc-pictures in the internet. I loved them in Warcraft II. I found images of the miniatures and began collecting when I was about 16 years old. Started playing with 19 years.
I really liked the grim and dark setting and asthetics. And that I kinda knew something about all the stuff (fantastic creatures and history), but they mixed it together in a interesting new way.
I don't have kids, but I don't think I would buy the books. For me the charme was the not kid-friendly stuff, so I don't am interested in this alternative version of warhammer (and to be honest I am mostly interested in Old World narrative, never bought a warhammer novel about something else)
-
Just a little nerd comment: The Fay Enchantress and the Lady of the lake are not the same thing. The Fay Enchantress is/was a human (chosen by the elven goddess), stealing the magical kids and telling the knights what they have to do. The highest of the damsels.

I voted for the Untamed Beasts, a really well executed mix between old and new stuff/ideas.
And they have a great variety in this warband, little guys, bigger guys, big guy with harpoon, big leader guy, big angry cat.
-
Can't wait to see what this is going to be. I am very hyped.
-
I am so happy that the sabretooths have no longer their long fangs starting from the jaw upwards.
-
Now I have hope to see the greenskinz as a faction again.

If you are talking about the right card, this was in the "How to Play-Video" and it is a big warhorn.

I‘ve been thinking about it and the Kurnothi don‘t appeal to me due to their mix of banded leather armor, held by chains while also featuring leaf-patterns.
if they‘d stuck to banded armor-stripes all the way those Kurnothi would look way better. Also the side burns are an aesthetic nightmare
I don't think this are chains, seems more braided stuff.
