Wonder when they will start dropping hints at what they will be bringing back for Empire (besides the war wagon - that one is pretty clear).

Seeing how it was originally pimped as the premium faction for the Old world release I thinknit might be expected a Middenheim faction with white wolf knights and possibly teutogen guards rerelease. Maybe wardogs and storm of chaos priest of Ulric.
Then maybe more of a Zealot Sigmarite feel with Flagellants and gunpowder from the Altdorf faction and Marienburg I dont know?

Cult of Ulric army would seem logical as they have the models but its GW.....also coudl use most of it for Talebheim as they are strongly linked, both also have well established schools of magic.
Marienburg uses mainly Mercs for its army as well as High Elf support which could be an interesting army list as well.

All of the pictures in the rule books have Empire units in Marienburg colours.
Its perhaps politically tricky to pick any electorial province during the time of three emperors, and as far as I know Marienburg was on the outskirts of the conflict, building their mercantile power.

Empress Magritta/Marienburg is one of the four main claimants but yes good point re the units - I forgot this is before the Elves supported its independence

Oh, right you are
Marienburg would still be a pretty good spot for focus. It all depends on how much effort they put in to this release. If they are on Chaos Warriors level of ambition, it would make most sense with a Nuln focus and just say "they got guns!" and move on to next faction. If they want to bring back the landship and make an effort to sort out different ways to play Empire, Marienburg would be nice.

Sounds logical considering AOS has just been getting Ratmen and I believe Nuln was somewhat Ratmen invasion centric.
I'm just here waiting for Beastmen.

You should try to find a copy of 8th edition Fantasy Battle rulebook, it will blow your mind about what factions made up the game before AoS.

Or just read the “legends” rules for the extra factions in the warcom downloads section. Every unit/model mentioned there was originally made for 8e or before.

They should drop the province specific warbands from Mordhein in made to order to spice up the Empire range.
It would be like printing money for GW.

I still play Mordheim, I cannot wait for the Empire range to come back solely for the Militia box.
The Underworlds refugees have been playing it with us, and they have been having a blast.

Reikland, Middenland, and Marienburg were all in the core game. Ostland and Averland were added later. Reikland, Middenland, and Marienburg were all claimants to the Imperial throne at the time.

I don’t think we’ve heard owt. But I can see that further down the line, as they’re easy schedule filler releases without needing to be part of a wider project.

They did release an old Dwarf RoR as a MTO, so that means other mercs have a better than zero chance of coming back that way. One point against the Cursed Company might be the fact that it has saurus skeletons in it, and GW seems to want to limit exposure to 'non-core' factions.

I get the impression Dogs of War are quite high on the list of quite some veteran players and collectors, and I would imagine GW might be aware of that too, so hopefully..! (Of course, Dogs of War regiments include named characters probably technically from the later timeline, but difficult to predict under what circumstances GW does or doesn't care about that - they're flexible if they want, or not if they don't, it seems...)

Also Skaven. But that whole distinction seems to be based on what is or isn't actively part of the AoS range, so skeletal versions should be fine, perchance.

While we haven’t heard directly, the way the army lists are set up, there’s built-in space for mercenary units and “misbehaving mercenaries” is a main book special rule so we are well set up for an “Arcane Journal: Mercenaries of the Old World” or similar book later.

Landship is 2500s but I guess they could claim its based on a old design or something....not sure Marienburg ever got one - Nuln lost most of the prototypes against Tamakahn and his Chaos Dwarfs.
