So what's still missing? I can think of at least 4 "towers"

- the small octagonal one (Deathknell Watch)
- the huuuge round one (Witchfate Tor)
- the ruined round one (Dreadstone Blight)
- the observatory (already got a re-release in AoS times once) (Skullvane Manse)

Edited with last known names

I love the terrain; got the Skullvane Manse, fences, hill and normal tower back in the day.

Great though they are, they were designed in GW's 'MOAR SKULLZ!' fase and most are only fitting for battles set in the empire.

For example, i would love to use the chapel for a Bretonnian table, but I'll have to put in some work removing the molded-on Empire iconography.

Still it's great to see them make a return!

Also missing from memory:

The Chaos altar/temple
The modular hill. Similar to the regular hills here but a bit bigger, and split in half or quarter (don't remember which), so you can put them on the sides/corners of the table.
The woods

And you could add the graveyard but that one is still available for AOS (or was until very recently

I did exactly that with one of mine, I de-empirified it and grailified it instead, with a interior and all that!

I still regret not getting the Woods when I had a chance so hopefully it is in the next terrain wave.

Are we talking about the really old fluffy trees they have in the rulebooks, or the multipart plastic trees with flat horizontal foliage. I really like the multipart plastic trees, and also the awakened wyldwood, but was under the impression most people hated that set.

That one below

Sign me up for the Hills and the Arcane Ruins. I already own the Manor.

Those trees are painted very nicely.

I will likely be getting the manor. I'll definitely be converting it into part of my Bretonnian Castle :-)

My biggest problem with those building is that I become obsessive about making interiors for them I have all those crazy ideas and they end up staying in parts because I have no time to work on that for weeks on end!

Thankfully I still have most of those I bought at the time, so I'm not jumping on them day one. Gonna have to dust of those half finished projects now tho!

Just 2-3 weeks ago I was working on one of those wood pictured above to refurbish it a bit and eventually paint it!

I do have to cringe at what the price is going to be, when I remember the old prices. Arcane Ruins will be likely be what, $40US? More?

Don't make me dig out 20 years old WD scans again, I did for bretonnian army bundles and adjusted for inflation the new Bret set was very comparable with the old army bundles. The prices were pretty steep back then too.

I will never financially recover from this...

oof, there goes my final car payment

Wow, I did not expect that! Wonderful to see these kits return, and will allow new players to make tables with the proper aesthetic without needing incredible crafting skills.

Some day, I'll make my own Empire Army out of historical kits, and I'll make some terrain for them. But I'll probably give these a miss - I can't see myself doing anything in the Old World for at least 5 years.

I wouldn't say no to those trees coming back though, I liked that kit.

Would be great for 40k Feral World terrain.

You forgott the Garden of Morr kit one of most versataille GW terrain piece.

If its ridiculously overpriced I'll get a fortified manor and maybe another set of fences. Amd if it's just regular overpriced, a whole town.

I do remember how the old GW realized that if people could afford terrain it would make their games of Warhammer more fun, and they'd like the game more. Before the new GW decides to overprice it so high that Necromunda has to be a board game fought in hallways. And then they made a set of hallways $300.

That's already been re-released at least twice in the AoS era

I wish they would re-release it again as a single set and cheaper rather than a box with repeated twice as the latest incarnation.

I just looked at the AoS preview of the Skaven. It looks great and just about everything should be useable with TOW.
They mentioned all of the weapon teams, but only showed a warpgrinder and doomflayers. Here's hoping they redo the rest of them.

Models are very well designed, but what i like about the New Old World models is the lack of detail in comparison to the AOS stuff; all these skaven models are super nice but incredibly cluttered with details to the point where my eyes don't find a focal point (the vermin lord and master moulder are the worst offenders for me).

I like a strong silhouette and focuspoints for my models. The AOS ones these daysare a bit to busy for my taste.

of course, those are skirmish games display models, they must look that way to be good alone on the shelf/board

GW stopped making Rank&File models already during the old Warhammer days so the very old ones fit better for TOW

the funny thing is, somehow models must be old the be R&F models while everything new must be a display model
if new models are released people complain the lack of details and models not looking good standing alone, leading to companies to overload R&F models despite those just need to look good as regiment

Here is the updated article with all weapon teams etc. https://www.warhammer-community.com/2024/08/10/the-slaughter-at-hel-crown-global-campaign-the-winner-revealed/

Definitely a good time to be a fan of the Clans Skryre.

Now I’ve seen the weapons teams, very mildly disappointed we didn’t get the Poisoned Wind Mortar.

But I’ll still take plastic Everything Else as compensation 🤣

Seems like a simple conversion to me; use the front end of the warp fire thrower but turned around so the large “cup” is pointing forward, cover the end with a glossy globe bit and bam, poison wind mortar. You can even use the arms from the lightning gun to differentiate it a bit more.

How soon til we find out the prices of the terrain sets?

If they are general release (available to FLGS) the price list normally goes around the Monday morning after the Sunday evening that the preorder is announced if they are direct only you'll have to wait until the Saturday of the preorder. Whilst these are not made to order and are part of the normal range there's no indication yet if they are direct only. Just looking at the single scenery kits on the GW site they range from £37 to £41.50 with some old kits at £31.50. Hopefully these are at the lower end.The Fortified Manor will obviously be more being effectively 4 kits (Tower, Chapel, Walls and Fences and the Fortified walls).

EDIT I found the 2007 price for the Large Manor set which then contained 1 Fortified Manor, 1 Watchtower, 1 Chapel and 3 sets of Walls and fences for £75

That's the one I was looking at before. I didn't notice that the weapon teams one was a multiple picture.
