We also miss some Units and Options for the relased Factions like Khemri, Bretonnia, Greenskins and Dwarfs I guess?

Considering they've also been stripping the FW models from 40K recently (eldar just lost almost most of theirs) it might also be that OW is doing way better than they envisioned and the FW team is having to up production to deal with demand. This might explain the gap; it might be breathing room. It could also just be that other things have pushed in here and there and then you've got hte big Christmas Rush and OW might have just pulled the short straw at not getting a big production slot in that time.

Is it too late to say I'm dissapointed there was no Egrim von Horstman?

He's not alive in the game's timeline. He won't be born for another 150 years or so.

I just wish they'd release his Dragons left arm again, so I can make mine whole again :(

He's got to be alive at this time right?!

Egrimm was a former Light wizard, which means his rise to power is likely dependent on the Colleges being founded first. That won't happen for a few decades in-universe. Its possible that he's alive at this time, but he's unlikely to be very significant and definitely won't be a Chaos worshipper.

This was my theory as well, but not just with the FW models but to give all of GW a bit of breathing room to catch up on production.

Yeah and its not a bad move honestly. If that lets get get production in hand, esp overseas supplies, then that's a boon for us all. GW has been going insane with releases and we've honestly grown used to a super-fast release process.

Now granted the 3-year life-cycle of codex/battletomes has also directly fed into this and makes the problem worse and is fully GW's own making. They could shift to 6 year lifespans or such for editions and rules (lets face it its not the rules we get those big boxed launch editions for - its cool sculpts and lots of discounted models)

Confirmed Galrauch is coming back in metal and not resin and sounds like the new character, Frydaal, will be in resin at some point after first wave. Guess I'll be pinning him - wish they brought back the Emperor Chaos Dragon I could use to proxy for Galrauch instead.

Gotta get those Mordheim kits!

You mean circa 2001 Inquisition Warbands!

Has anyone seen price lists for the WOC release?

Well guess that confirms most of the range is online only? No dragon ogres or chimera even though they're plastic.

Awww boo.

From todays article

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2024/08/30/old-world-almanack-rules-for-the-rules-gods/

The Warpfire Dragon is another returning Warhammer Forge miniature available for the Warriors of Chaos Grand Army, bringing yet more monstrous destructive energy to the battlefield. We don’t have any plans to bring back the War Mammoth currently, however.

And not specific lists for Gods as in this period it is all about is undivided Chaos (not like in the End Times were the Everchosen was all about the different gods)

but at least they want to progress the story line with more journals, so maybe we get a 2nd and 3rd Chaos journal with the gods list from a different time period

There was a rumour from the Square Based podcast a while ago that's because they are doing a plastic War Mammoth.

Though I do wonder if that's because it would move to Norsica rather than Warriors of Chaos.

Well there’s also the small issue of the original War Mammoth mould and master both being damaged, according to rumour a while back anyway.

As I mentioned earlier he is not around in this period - He only joined the Light Order as an apprentice in 2504 IC !

The chance to get these old kits in metal again is the best thing about TOW for me. I was too young and poor to buy them all before they got Finecasted, and I've been waiting patiently for 10+ years.

As listed on the NZ website, the plastic Chaos Sorcerer on foot is virtually double the price of the plastic Chaos Lord on foot. Wonder if that's an error because if not that's just baffling

Oof.

160AUD for the Dwarf Lord five-pack, so $80 for them.

I get that its under $20 for each model but still

Couple of positive surprises from Warriors of Chaos release:

Warpfire Dragon £52
Chaos Trolls and Chaos Ogres £28

I wish Ushabti were £28 rather than £55!

Dang, that Dragon Ogre Shaggoth. Still as excellent as the day it was originally released. What a sculpt.

Yeah, that's an odd one - they're the exact same price in €. That said, they are almost exactly double the price of the metal Champion...

Yeah - I want 2 of them but I think thats a bit much...I would have bought them individually for a bit more per model too but for a bundle it seems expensive..

So the mounted theme list is kinda lame. You get 0-1 chariot as core and 0-1 chosen chariot per 1k pts

Man the prices are all over the place here, some are surprising to me like Chaos Trolls and the Warpfire Dragon in that they are lower than I expected. Then there is the Manticore and Chimera, which were 62.5$ and 45$ just a week ago - exact same kits and everything as far as I'm aware.

I found a pair of the old chimera discounted off the 45 price and scooped them up this morning. Already have the bases, so all good to go.

Might get that Dwarf Lord pack, I like them all even though some of them are pretty similar to each other.

Yeah, I'm shocked the warpfire dragon is so "reasonable."

And then, for the same cost, five old metal chosen command models...
