Okay, so I'm assuming you have an AOS army that you're wanting to run in TOW? Base adapters or movement trays with round slots. Both readily available.


Potentially you have some 8th Ed. stuff still on squares instead? Base adapters or slotted movement trays.


OR


If your game group isn't a bunch of sticklers, run them as is.


If you're asking if they're still viable for AOS? I personally neither know nor care, but they DO have the AOS section of this forum...

Was definately meaning to use them for TOW, I have diminishing interest in AOS personally.. kindof want to break from it (haven't ever played a single game of anything wh related though but wanted to in the future, but TOW is much more motivating for me than AOS anyway)

So yeah.. trays it is I suppose.. (if that moment of playing ever comes), not going to rebase like 200 minis.. especially since some of my bases are made to look cool as hell.

Giant Chaos Spawn does not seem expensive? for a monster?

If you're talking about that MTO spawn it's not a giant spawn, it's the same size as the plastic spawn. The actual giant spawn is 64€.

Oops, that makes more sense!

Just got an email stating my Prince with pincer claw and sorcerer on horseback from the MTO run have both shipped. Seems like they've figured out their production issues at least from my perspective.

I've also had recent MTOs ship immediately, like the Dragon Company Dwarves. Still waiting on the first wave Bret/TK MTO...

GW giveth, and GW taketh away.

I've been waiting for a LOOOOONG time for my MTO Trolls and OG Giant.

I am, in fact, still waiting!

Same, but that's nowhere near the 180 days yet.

All my Dwarfs MTO were sent really quickly, both when bought on release on Saturday (within the first hour of it being up), and even one order from mid-week where I decided I wanted more Dragon Company before they're gone. All of them were shipped and received within a week. Even the Chaos ones from this weekend (got the Prince with Sword and one Spawn) is already shipped and I should get it tomorrow.

The one from March with the Marauder Giant took a while to ship but got it late last month. But since then, it seems they might have sorted out most of the production for those. If only they could manage to produce the regular items a bit better, still want to pick up some TK and Bretonian items that have been sold out since day 1 of their release.

MTOs have a run produced before the MTO goes up and the earliest orders receive those with later orders getting made once those are gone. Those later orders that have to be made can take up to 6 months to get produced.

I was waiting on the same order, mine arrived last week so fingers crossed yours will be arriving soon

I don't know, I'm past the 120 day point by now - not complaining mind you - just jealous when I see all these MTO customer getting theirs so quickly!

Happy for you - and hoping you're right too!

Thanks for the reminder, I forgot it worked this way. Need to remember this for future MTO runs.

Definitely email them if you've passed the 180 day mark. I've only had it happen once (out of 12 completed MtO's) and it looked like it'd slipped through the cracks in their system. They sent it out the very next day though.

Probably means nothing major but TOW is now listed as one of the main systems on the webstore, no more being stuck under 'More'!

Happened to me with the 40k terrain, and it still took months - apparently they had to send it across the Atlantic in a rowboat.

Could someone please advise me on Chaos Spawn in the latest MTO? I see the unit size is max 4, but that feels a hefty investment. I was going for 2, and have been thinking about 3, but will I ever regret getting the full complement, or is it simply overkill and a bad use of funds? Thanks!

I would treat all the MTO as "collector" models.

Ergo if you REALLY love the design get it and if you really really love it get enough for multiples if the rules allow it.

But for a functional option don't forget you could use

or even (a few forms are fine one or two might need conversion

With Old World its mostly a case of if it first on the base, its good

If you're not married to the idea that GW rules must be paired with GW models, this guy from Wizkids D&D minis makes an excellent Spawn.
And only costs $10-$15.

I have a bunch of the metal ones from the MTO because when I was playing, that was the only official spawn model available.
The plastic muti-piece kit is a great set that will give you bits for days. They look fine alongside with the metals.



I would order one metal one and then get the plastic kit. If you need more than three, grab another plastic box. Really great models and it stretches your dollar pound.

If it doesn't have to be GW there are numerous models out there that could be used as spawn, often even god specific ones'.

Yeah, every spawn really ought to be unique, IMO.

None of the WHQ metals got MTO for The Old World yet did they? I kinding hoping the Imperial Noble comes around when the Empire figures get released.

I've been disappointed with the MTO models so far, minus the dwarf lords (and even then, no metal Thogrim MTO???)

I was hoping for metal Azhag, Archaon, etc., as MTO waves, though some of those models did get resin MTO waves during AOS.

Also, you can pick up the mutants holding the chaos warshrine off ebay for a decent price. They make nice spawn (and three of the four gellerpox hulks don't have anything super techy)

The Bretonnian Knight did, as part of a "Paladins with Swords & Shields" two pack.

Archaon was available in November 2022 with the mounted sorcerer that's on M2O right now, both metal.

Ah cheers, I forgot that one.

I’m pretty sure the WHQ troll slayer was on a recent Slayers of Legend MTO as well.

He was! I nearly didn't recognise him with the brown beard!

Any news on old world beastmen? (considering Chaos is being the focus atm)
