Of course the Miners are gonna be in wave 2.

I love and hate the miner kit. The bits alone were incredible, but I put a few together for my girlfriend a few months ago and realized the mold lines are terrible on them.

I also just realized the plastic dragon slayer isn't included either. Figured he'd be the "slayer of legend" but maybe he's in wave 2? Its still around in AOS as "Grombrindal"

Bloody annoying imo.

There are probably 8 per sprue.

4 per sprue but thanks for trying.

...where's the basic Dwarf Cannon? Seems a weird one to omit.

Kicking myself, had a chance to buy a classic flame cannon for a great price last week and didn't thinking it would be the sculpt coming back and had already spent a kings ransom on old models recently.

The one they went with its awful, had really thought the classic model would be the one to return.

Love the imperial dwarves are coming back though. I was intending to buy three battalions for the plastics, but honestly could honestly just buy old marauder sculpts at this point. Just picked up a unit of thunderers this week so I'm going to need some big units of the imperials to go with them!

Great to see the Dwarf miniatures finally releasing, there's a few I've been after. Was considering the Engineers but it's not clear if they're resin or metal though? I was hoping they'd be metal.

Still not sure on the proportions of the 3 new miniatures either. They're nice models and I like them, but something seems a bit odd about them.

Edit: Just watched the Video. Bugman, Engineers, Anvil of Doom are all Metal. Nice!

I’m 100% buying the imperial dwarves for my empire army.

Wave 2?

Looks like Slayers now just dye their mohawks orange and leave their beards au naturale. Looks very odd, to my eyes.

Thank God the new Cities of Sigmar models have arrived.

Not as many old sculpts as the Orcs & Goblins got but these ones are pretty sweet. Used to be called Imperial Dwarfs I think?

Gives me hope we'll see a lot of old classics for the Empire when their time comes.

Spoiler:

Used to be Dwarf Warriors with Pikes but good to see that they have brought them back as Imperial Dwarfs - hopefully one the Empire can use - it was always a nice flavourful idea!

Definitely picking up Bugman on the cart.

The article does mention them being useable as Dogs of War.

Love the Dwarfs, especially the Imperial Dwarfs and the Beer Cart!

It is weird though that Ogdruz Swampdigga still haven't been released, right?

The bugman's cart looks so tiny on that base I still wanna know what exactly GW still has mold wise hidden deep in the vault...

I saw that the prices for the Necromunda boxset are floating around, so do we have prices for any of the Dwarf stuff yet? Or are we gonna have to wait till tomorrow?

We're still missing squigs, netters & savage orcs. None of which have even been mentioned or shown as reveals but all have rules. I guess we'll still have another wave of Orcs N goblins to come at some point in the future then.

I'm imagining something akin to the storage at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark.
It really is rather good fun to see what they end up digging up for these Old World releases. Even when I don't collect a faction nor have any plans to start doing so anymore, just seeing some of the (sometimes very) vintage sculpts resurface is quite a treat. Even with the clear market for nostalgia, I wouldn't have bet on them going this far back for this system.

There are probably 8 per sprue.

Also, Dwarves are Heavy Infantry type so they rank up 4-wide.

Guess I should pull out all the old warhammer dwarves I have and put them up for sale now, even unpainted / poorly painted as they are.

Really keen on the Dwarfs myself. Always hated that army back in Fantasy day (static gunline army and all), but now with Old World, I think I'd like a small force of them. The army box is pretty good, but would have to ditch the Gyrocopters (then to figure out if the box discount is worth it without the copter). I'm just not a fan of the late Dwarfs design so the copters and and ironbreakers are not up my alley unfortunately and gonna skip those.

The rest is brilliant though and like it a lot! Outside of the core stuff from the army box, interested in some Hammerers, the regular Slayers of course, the Anvil would be a must (though the old one on wheels would be great too), and the Bugman's cart is ace! Missing some Cannons there thought, so might get some later I hope.

Also not shown in the recent article, but there was some other older sculpts going for made-to-order that would make decent Ironbreaker stand-in:

I hope they:
1) still have the 2e/3e era Slann Warriors & the Dwarf Juggernaut (1e? 2e? It's from '84)
2) want to take my $$$ for them.

Dwarf prices:

Had a talk with a friend, we had a discussion if we ever will see a similary game but for 40k.

With sort of some OOP 2nd to 6th Edition stuff.

What do you think?

Let's see which faction we get next for WOT.

I hope those Ironbreakers and Hammerers are going up to 20 in a box for that price. Otherwise Oathmark Dwarven Heavy Infantry look pretty appealling.

Yup, 20 to a box. Would be interesting to see what happens to the AoS ones seeing as they're only 10.

There are no AoS ones, they were removed a while ago.

Which is why they sold a whole bunch of them off cheap in those cheap(er) regiment sets to clear stock a little while ago.

Very unlikely. The reason Old World works is because it got blasted and GW destroyed the game. 40K has never had that happen ;sure its changed a LOT over the years but GW never outright just destroyed the entire thing.

The closest relationship comparing AoS to Old World is 40K and 30K; though evne then its a bit wonky because 30K really only focuses on the Imperial factions and some Chaos (Xenos don't get a look)
