I'm very excited to be able to buy a Marauder Giant for a semi-reasonably price!

I wonder what "classic ogres" are? The Jes Goodwin sculpts? The Michael Perry sculpts?

I think it is these. The names they use for everything seem to match the Citadel Catalogue names.

Spoiler:

I hope it's those, would be mighty tempted to get some if it's them!

Any idea what the Big Uns are? I think I remember they had some quite old models, but was in some early edition (maybe 3rd), and don't think they got anything after that, model-wise?

I haven't been closely following the Old World for a while now, but has there been any mention of Dogs of War/Regiments of Renown being a part of the game? Or more specifically of them doing a DoW/RR Made to Order?

I still don't understand why they added a beard to the female ogre after the intial relese even all these years later and I don't think I've ever seem an attempt at an explanation either. Does anyone know more about that?

I don't remember we're it stated but it not a Female ogre but rather a Male Ogre dress as a female

When working working in the empire he saw a housewife caught her unfaithful husband and proceeded to beat him with such ferocity that the ogre though she was the most terrifying warrior.

Lorebeard of Sotek said so on his podcast. But its a female ogre. There was a blurb with the model sahing she used a fake beard to pretend to be a dude to get around in the army.

no, yet as armies are allowed to take Mercenaries and there are none in the general lists, it is assumed that they must come at one point

Release wise, I wonder if there are a lot of old plastic kits that already exist to eat up casting time, the new sprue budget was allocated from old world to horus heresy, which is why there are so many solar aux kits coming out as a new faction, while old world just got a couple new kits for the two most ignored armies and reprints of the rest of stuff.

Again, I'm not 100% sure, but I expect they mean these:

Found a pic of the big 'uns next to 6th edition starter orc, and they are tiny rather than big.

Maybe they’ll release the 4th Ed Black Orcs as Big ‘Uns? Those are bigger than the 6th Ed plastics and relatively in style with them (but look very different from 6th Ed and later Black Orcs).

I wonder if there is a chance for the re-release of that kit.

Im disappointed by the lack of new plastic models, but they literally had an article last week about how they had to resculpt certain models, created new ones, and are making available stuff never released

As I mentioned earlier, the 'we had to resculpt bits of old models' part has, as of yet, no proof, and sounds a lot like an excuse. Until it can be definitively shown that it's taken place, it's nothing more than marketing speak. The new models they've made have been minimal and mostly characters, and the unreleased stuff amounts to...one Bone Giant head?

They literally have shown details that weren"t there before. Lol lol lol.

Or you claim gw invented time machine and changed sculpt decades ago? That's even more bonker claim

Returning plastics though bit later. Not that?

Not familiar with wolf riders.

Exactlyt those! You made my evening

I just failed to see the "returning plastics section". Thank you for pointing them out

.

Good to hear

When you said them i was 1st "i'm sure i saw wolf riders". Then checked and lnitially saw just heroes. That's odd. Careful re-read and saw that.

Then thought maybe there was older(maybe metal) version you were hoping for. I know people who specifically want metal version even if by their own admission nicer looking plastic available

But good to hear you get what you wanted.

I'm not holding out hope that we see a DoW MTO, I think due to the amount of named units & characters that wouldn't fit in to this new way GW are focusing on a single part of the timeline and not wanting to deviate from it. The fact we didn't see any goblin named characters in the preview yesterday makes me think they will avoid them going forward. The green knight and Settra are likely to be oddities.

However if they did run a DoW MTO, I would be eating the cardboard packaging whilst I financially recover.

I'd not mind if they ran a MTO for them though and just made up new names for the units though. 'Bargio the Besieger', Borgio's great grandfather. That kind of thing.

The resin Shaman is a named character so it looks like each army gets at least one each.

They seem to be Pseudo named characters as apparently Lady Élisse Duchaard only has the standard Prophetess rules and none of her own - not sure if Ogdruz Swampdigga will be the same "just" a Orc Shaman?

That's not true at all though, she has two unique items and the unique "Arcane Backlash" special rule at the very least

They explained it when she was released. IIRC, it's the same situation as the Brets, lady ogres aren't allowed to fight, so she's disguised as a boy. The beard is a separate piece, so you can leave it off.

I remember this bit of lore as well. I assembled mine without that beard.

Thanks. I wasn't aware that it was a separate piece and just assumed it was sculpted on at a later point.

I wonder if FW will re release skin wolves for warriors of chaos. Those models were great.

Same with some of the bigger beasts, like the merwyrm.

The squig gobba and rogue idol would have made sense to release too

Def going for both the Tomb Kings and probably the trio of bretonnian lords/BSB. Probably also the pair of damsels.

The paladins on foot I'm guessing won't scale well to anything else and look their age.

The liche priests and bsbs just look too goofy for my liking.

Hot damn. All in metal as well. That's a great little MTO.

Not the most interesting MTO for TK. Those are (sadly) the only models for mounted liche priests and BSBs, but they are fugly. The bretonian stuff is okay.

Well that's an incredibly dull week. The only thing worth while are the kings and damsel (depending on price). Everything else is eh at best.

I was naively hoping the Tomb Kings would return to the full range, but I guess the absence of the third variant (the one with the sword planted down for mounting in a chariot) might mean that one will?

The Tomb Heralds actually have more charm than I remembered, the Liche Priests about what I recall.

I like the metal kings but everything else is a hard pass (maybe not the damsels)

I really hope they MTO characters too. Especially if they made Apophas metal

Looking at how the painting masterclass has the new unicorn; I wonder if GW got WAY more orders than they thought and are taking a slower week to bulk up and catch up with the order volume to get stock back into stores of the new plastics. So just doing a made-to-order and not releasing a range of resin models such as the new Damsel rider.

Might also be they are using the time to get a head start on resin production for stock.


Suffice to say a slower week after a big one is no shock.

Not 100% sure if I'm tempted by the made to order Brets yet.

I'll have to look if I have the mounted herald for the TK, don't remember if I have one and if he survived the years without being converted and cut to pieces! That's the only piece from this release that I'm not sure I have, the rest are all accounted for!

Those 3 bretonnian lords/bsb will sell like hot cakes.

Does anyone know roughly the lead times on GW hardback reprints for in-demand items? I missed out on Forces of Fantasy so keen to know how long it might be before we see them again. Not sure if they're printed here/Europe or in China.

Apologies if this has been asked and answered already. Didn't see it anywhere.

This one? I'll be fielding him for one simple reason: He's the only one I've got. I don't mind the model, it's just that I don't need the movement, so the 12 points is a tax, lol. I picked him up second hand for "resurrect two chariots" shenanigans in AOS, only bothered repainting the standard, may have to clean up the rest of him now...

In China. And since UK decided on (pretty much) harebrained declaration of war on certain country sitting on critical strait, you will probably wait a lot longer than usual for that container to get to UK, especially looking at the amount of disclaimers 'X is delayed in Y Asian country' WC recently makes...
