I wonder will they now wait until the price increase in June has come into effect.

In the past GW wasn't shy about rolling upcoming price hikes into new releases as early as two months before the date of the general increase. This year's increase has been announced and is imminent. It shouldn't figure into when Dwarfs are released. If they come before June 10, they'll just be more expensive a week or two earlier than the rest of GW's catalogue.

I wonder how many TOW players will hunt for Skaven part of that new AoS box?

A lot, probably, it's 1000 points for ToW on the skaven side if you call the new artillery piece a warp lightning cannon, two boxes and you have an army.

Mounted character is the only thing that's tricky, could be unit filler or maybe take the rider off and call it a hellpit.

There’s a chance it could be proxied as that old fw giant rat mount too. Though I doubt it has rules now

It doesn't have rules sadly, otherwise I think a lot of people would do exactly that.

Any guesses to what old models they might do MTO for in the future? There's been some surprises (at least to me), so maybe there's going to be some rarities or unusual things, like spear dwarfs?

I'm absolutely sure that they've spent some time digging through the archives to pick out a few oddities alongside the classic gems. MTO is already usually a little niche or indulgent, and The Old World iisn't going to make it any less so.

But as for actual, solid guesses? I dunno. It's easier to just wishlist things because it kinda seems like any well-liked metal miniature from before the turn of the millenium has at least some odds.

I'm rather hoping we might see a release of the Empire War Wagon, either MTO or otherwise.

Empire's going to be an interesting release as is with at least 3 subfactions to do Armies of Infamy for. I can see them being last as they'll most likely be the largest release of the setting.

I remember seeing it in some RPG magazine when wargaming was a new word for me. It was a truly great miniature.

I can imagine they MTO some empire engineers. There was a plastic guy with rifle, but as I remember they had some fun metal guys with pistols and whatnot. I guess they wont do the crazy engineer on mechanical steed, because he dont have rules in the book.

Also, we probably see some grand masters of the knightly order in MTO, but perhaps they will be part of the actual lineup. I can imagine that a grand master would also be a cool thing to see updated as a new FW model.

the only interesting one would be to have the classic metal knight for the 4 orders

If there's a Nuln army in the Arcane Journal, I guess there's a chance he could be repurposed as a special character?

Personally I hope we see the bear mascot in the Empire MTO. Love that silly little thing

They may not cover those subfactions in the arcane journal as they are tied to specific narrative, whereas all the arcane journal factions have been basically generic themes.

With any luck we’ll get some of those gorgeous Teutogen Guard re-released. Permanently. Not a MTO.

At one point GW asked people what they want to see in an Order (as in the GA) m2o and Teutogen Guard came out on top, but GW never did that m2o. I wonder why?

They look like they would be mold shredders. They could be so labor-intensive that they aren't worth doing compared to everything else.

Maybe not worth the maintenance for an MtO, but maybe as a fully returned SKU

The lack of Kislev and the presence of Warrior Priests of Ulric should almost guarantee that Middenheim are one of the armies of infamy

Given that we don't know how old Elspeth is - be glorious to have her model back....

The Tamurkhan book mentions her association with Nuln stretches back three generations.

Yep but she might be older - and so be around for the period of the Old World

Elspeth is noted to be a student of the Colleges of Magic, which are post-Old World. As it stands she is not appropriate for the setting.
Of.course they could just retcon her.

I was really hoping to find someone who was unloading the tomb Kings box with the exception of that croco dragon and the book. I cannot find anyone with that sort of auction / sales threat available so I'm left to try to part out the parts I don't want. How hard will it be for me to sell the book and the Croco dragon?

Book "might" be trickier since big fans will already have it. But throw enough of a decent discount on it and chances are someone will bite.

Crocodragon might well sell easily with discount from retail. Plenty of people might whine about it but they still like the model (or want the dragon lower half for a discount price)

Looks like the Ravening Hordes and Forces of Fantasy are finally back in stock on the US Webstore

At this point I am really hoping for the Dwarf Arcane Journal to be given a bloody release date

As am I, I'd really like to have a new box of Miners painted up for an event at the end of July.

I'm still somewhere between surprised and unsurprised that they didn't give Grombrindal TOW rules in WD500, given he's a known character in the Old World.

Then again, to use HBMC's turn of phrase, GW never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity...

GW just too scared to give rules out to a model on a round base for a square based rules set.

Dumb Dumb Dumbty Dumb

Yeah they miss out so much on stuff like this

Well, in that case, Imma put Grombrindal on a square base! Just let GW try and stop me!
