I like these Warlords, nice kit.

I agree - personally, I would give my right arm to get my hands on a Armorcast Warlord for my collection...

Well, if the timing was better, and/or if I had a lot more free cash right not...

...but I don't!

Maybe someday though - they are very impressive models that would look great on the tabletop!

Just heard that Lion El'Jonson has been said to be the next Primarch after Magnus. Is there anywhere this has been said? Apparently they mentioned it at Warhammer Fest, but I didn't see anything about it

That's looking a bit too far ahead to be reliable, I would think. We know Leman Russ is next, but after that, who knows?

Magnus is confirmed after Russ, they've been saying that since the last Weekender, but I haven't heard anything about Lion except for what I read on 4chan today

OK, that barracuda looks nice.

Now just release it and the warlord weapons already!

Want to collar them on Adeptus Titanicus and to try to grab Imperial Armour 14 if it's available.

If you run into anyone related to the SG team, could you pressure them to find out if the eventual Mordheim reboot is going to actually be Mordheim, setting & all, or if it's going to be like WHQ:ST, a "spiritual successor" in the AoS setting?

It seems unlikely, but for what it's worth GW would likely make rules to make every miniature cross compatible. A post AoS Mordheim would be a pretty crazy place and I think could add to the setting, a weird fantasy sorta "left behind" survival thing. In the original game the city was post apocalyptic, but now the whole world is post apocalyptic.

I was following the event quite closely and I didn't see that anywhere. They said that Russ is next, then probably Magnus, and then Dorn and Alpharius, when the story involves them again/more. So I suppose there is room for the Lion before them two, but I haven't seen it said anywhere.

I'd agree with that. AoS has a lot of potential for a skirmish game set in a ruined city. But with Blood bowl and Titanicus they seem to be sticking to the original background settings. So there probably going to keep it in the historical Old world.

I wonder if those Iron circle dudes would be good stand-ins for dreadknights

With AT no-one blew up the entire galaxy and scattered the bits in the warp yet and with blood bowl it was always a sort of parallel old world, not the one that exploded. Mordheim however was always explicitly set in the core old world; you can even see references to its location in later maps, and that just doesn't exist anymore. If they went back, they'd either have to make it "historical" and explain all the old world politics and why sigmarines aren't an option, or they'd have to explain how the city mysteriously rebuilt itself and became a Realm. Depending on what they want to do with the rules and campaign stuff it might well be easier to forget the specific background of the fall of Mordheim and create generic city fighting campaign rules for AoS.
Of course since nobody in the studio has mentioned it, nor have the reliable rumour mongers, all of this is pure speculation.

I could see what GoatboyBeta means. Even when Mordheim came out it was set 500 years before the then "present day" WHFB world... so it was already in a setting out of time. AoS is still technically the same "setting" its just one step out into the cosmological and after a step forward in time.

With something like bloodbowl there's not really the opportunity to cross over into AoS like there is with WHQ or a new Mordheim.

It would seem to make sense to have it in the AoS universe to enable them to have their new factions in and release AoS rules for Mordheim releases and Mordheim rules for AoS stuff (as we're seeing now with WHQ)

Regardless of the merits for and against AoS, tbh when you break down Mordheim to its bare bones, a city ravaged in ruins, gangs fighting over the scraps.. it really fits into the outlook of the new AoS world. Might be a great way to introduce a capital city of sorts, and flesh out the lore.

If they miss this opportunity to throw a bone to the fans of WHF by smearing AoS cack all over one of the fondest remembered games of the last twenty years, I can't even fathom how depressed and angry that would make me, especially as they seem to grasp how stupid an idea it is with Bloodbowl.

If they insist on making the actual movement and combat rules on the tabletop similar so it can serve as a gateway game, fine, I'll live with it, but keep that utter gak away from the setting.

EDIT: Honestly I would rather it never even got made, if some sad AoS-ified imitation is all that's on offer.

I wouldn't mind seeing a sigmarine star player!

I keep telling myself that sanguinius keeps not being next because the community will literally gak itself with excitement when he does.

Yeah I would really love an AoS-ified Mordheim. There's nothing stopping the atmosphere and mood from being the same, they just get more possibilities to play with. It would also mean he opportunity to use some sweet AoS models in a true skirmish game. Really hope this is what they do.

I don't get that though. I'm not having a go, I'm genuinely curious; what does an AoS-ified Mordheim offer you that AoS doesn't?

AoS is already a skirmish game, you can already play it at small model counts, you're already getting detailed campaign rules, Path to Glory already offers a progression system, and you can already use Sigmarines in it if you want to.

Any new content over and above that which would be offered by a "Nu-heim" game would be trivial and that tiny gain for you would come at the expense of a lot of gain for everyone who's not excited by GW's current fantasy offerings but would really appreciate a little bit of the Old World being brought back.

Bunch of different parties from the 9 realms, game is set in the Shadow realm with Be'lakor manipulating things. City called Mordhym . Boom! Done.

I actually really like the idea a few posts back of the same city, curses and warpstone and gold and all, but in the AoS setting. No need to explicitly refer to it as Mordhiem, but a story revolving around the legendary Lost City, whispered of across the realms as a place of great treasure and even greater treasure from the World Before, a myth for some, an obsession for others, a deathtrap for all... That could be pretty cool. A nice link back to the Old World, while still keeping it relevant and allowing it to evolve in the new (and I think much more interesting) setting.

That said, I don't need any reference to Mordheim of old whatsoever, I'd be fine with a small scale, well written narrative skirmish game, doubly so if it comes with a big box chock full of lovely minis like Silver Tower (although definitely more towards the tabletop rather than board game end of the spectrum, no tiles, free movement, customisable bands/characters ect)

Again though, your second paragraph is describing AoS post-"three ways to play" thingy, if that's what you want you have it already, there's no need to appropriate a Mordheim remake which will probably be the only chance of seeing anything from the WFB setting for a decade at least.

It just seems a touch selfish tbh; we get a small glimmer of hope that there's a chance of a possibility that the FW/SG guys might throw Oldhammer fans a bone, and the AoS fans immediately begin hoping that it instead becomes yet another product catered to them instead. You've got AoS, you've got Path to Glory, you've got WHQ:ST, you're getting this General's Compendium thing - is Mordheim, a product inextricably tied to its setting, staying Mordheim really too much to ask for the rest of us?

None of those things (AoS/PtG) are Mordheim/Necromunda though. The rules, be they in-game or post-game, aren't similar at all. I really doubt the campaign rules will include detailed character progression for individual models. The setting of Mordheim isn't that unique though and it could easily be transferred to AoS without losing anything. It would also have the added benefit of allowing cross-compatibility for AoS models, which a revived Oldheim would not (at least not for newer models). If you want the old Mordheim back, you can still play it, I know I still play Necromunda!

Also I sort of love the idea of setting it in a city inspired by Sigil from Planescape, which would make complete sense in AoS (although I would be fine with retaining the classic style setting).

EVERYONE, PLEASE GET THIS THREAD BACK ON TOPIC - THANKS.

EDIT: Sorry, didn't see the warning. Ignore this post!

TBH its a fairly moot point for me as baring a major feth up with the game Titanicus is going to be taking all my moneys anyway
The chevron stencils on the IW brass etch are a nice touch. I wonder if its some thing they might expand on in the future?

I want all these games, but I really hope they take their time. They need to be good and most of our wallets will need time to heal after the mass exodus of money.

^Whilst thats true, I don't particualrly want to be waiting 10 years for Battlefleet Gothic.

Warhammer Fest 2016: Part 2

You might have noticed that tickets for the Forge World Open Day 2016 are on sale now. It’s not beyond the realms of possibility that the fantastic new books and models that were talked about at Warhammer Fest will be on show at the Open Day, you might even be able to get your hands on a few of them ahead of them being availabe on the web store.

So what was shown off at Warhammer Fest? Here’s two of my favourites that were shown on the day…


The Mastodon is huge! It’ll be carrying your troops and dreadnoughts into battle soon.



The Legiones Astartes: Age of Darkness Army List collects together all of the units available to any Space Marine Legion – and this collector’s edition looks amazing!

Definitely getting the new limited black book. Hope they release a 4 book limited set with slipcase: Taghmata, Crusade List, Age of Darkness Legions and Imperialis book
