Is anyone else restarting their old square basy fantasy armies as a long term run up to Warhammer: The old world?

Yup, this Summer I picked up a bunch of second hand O&G that I'm adding to my old O&G army. I had greenskins from 4th to 8th edition, playing on and off, but I was not good at painting armies then. Now, hardened by historicals, I'm going back to paint up the army that I wanted but never managed to paint up. Square bases all the way, mostly old school greenskins.

I have maybe some 3 000 - 4 000 pts sitting in my cupboard now, and painted up my first three goblin units. Feels good. :) Back then I could barely paint a unit in a year, now I'm easily pushing out 2-3 units per month when I'm in painting mode.

I'm in a similar situation, picking up my 4th-6th edition high elves and finally adding the units that 8 year old me dreamed of owning.

Using methylated spirits to strip the THIN YOUR PAINTS basecoats so I can paint them. Working on a unit of archers at the moment, and just going to work unit by unit until I have a finished army.

Yeah I set up a tiny lab on top of my fridge, with two glass jars: one with methylated spirits, one with simple green. There has been consecutive batches of greenskins stewing in those jars for months now. :)

Is oldschool WHFB chat suitable for this thread or is it junking it up? I have my first three units ready for basing soon...

Finally getting around to assembling the Blissbarb Archers from the last big Slaanesh release and these might be some of the most over-designed battleline units I have ever seen. Every one of them is a character-level of detail. Gorgeous of course, but lord I do not look forward to painting 33 (or more) of these things

Would you do 33 of those, tho? They seem way over costed and I would rather slap together like 4 squads of Painbringers.

They're threatening a full game with lots of minis so I think it will warrant a thread. I guess we will find out in 2030.

I just have two pressing questions for Old World:

1) Have they said if Lizardmen/Seraphon will be in it?
2) What about Chaos Dwarves?

Less pressing but still kinda curious:

3) Will we finally see what the armies that weren't in WFB but named dropped look like?

No, no, probably

The factions that are confirmed (as far as I remember) are Empire, Kislev, Bretonnia, High Elves, Wood Elves and Orcs.

Kislev will probably look like the Total War faction more than the old models, and they just revealed Cathay in TW, so I’d be surprised if they didn’t show up in Old World as well.

The confirmed time period for Old World is during the Time of the Three Emperors. So this is essentially Fantasy Horus Heresy because its set during a period where the Empire where not the most stablest.

So, is the Stormcast command trait Shock and Awe supposed to trigger on teleports, too? Because it says it triggers when a unit is set up in the movement phase.

Which you can do not just with Scions of the Storm ambush, but also with Vanguard Palliadors using Ride the Winds Aetheric. Are they supposed to be able to repeatedly trigger that?

Yes, looks like it's like that. Other abilities have the "set up on the battlefield for the first time" note, but not that one.

I don't think it's unreasonable to suspect that AoS armies that still have a sizable amount of WFB models being produced would be picked for Old World, but as of right now they haven't given much detail beyond "It's not just a reprint of 8th edition."

First teasers for the next Underpants warband definitely point towards something... piratical.

It apparently still is in this case:

Longtime Warhammer Underworlds players may notice that this is a little different from previous seasons. Going forward, there will be two core sets released each year – each including an all-new pair of warbands, fresh board designs, universal cards, and more.

If Warhammer Total War 3's endings are all "And then the world ended" endings... as long as they are all equally true, and give the Chaos Dwarves their moment in the spotlight as they finish their great work, I'm happy.

That new season layout reads like a pretty good way to burn someone out on endless product churn. I'm buying Harrowdeep because I skipped Beastgrave and Direchasm and would like to be a bit more current, but I'm skipping the next one.

Like that deadass reads as "core set and 2 warbands a season" lol

Edit: it's probably not but what does 2 core sets even do for the game?
