I think this is all good news and I hope things continue to move along. It does seem like there are more people either getting in new or coming out of the woodwork, though it remains slow.
I think the main obvious thing for me is that the four factions they announced were all "limited' factions without ongoing bloat, but they were all produced after, I assume, a switch to digital sculpting. So they probably have the files and can print new masters/models after doing some work on them.
Re: the NMM I really think the studio schemes need to pick better colours. Orgoth, Khymera, and to a large extent Cryx all look like an undifferentiated mass especially when fast scrolling on phones as many of us do.
The thing I'm still really hoping for is getting scenarios written specifically for smaller formats. I know some chatter has it that the current SR ones scale down okay, but I still want something akin to Brawlmachine. The discord - as is usual with WM - keeps wanting to play bigger games, but at least for me I have too many other games these days to choose a lifestyle game, so smaller is my preference.

I'm curious how the returning factions are going to be manufactured.
I'm very open to giving Grymkin another go if they're going to be 3d printed, instead of that terrible PVC they were using at the time.

I'm guessing that they'll use the original moulds and castings. So metal will be metal - not sure about the PVC plastics they might be able to use the same moulds with a different plastic.
I would not expect them to do 3D prints because basically that means remaking every single model

there's 2 things they said in the stream. First Legacy stuff is only the masters they have access too so they can make molds and reprints. Those will be like GW's system where you have a month or two to pre-order, they make the orders, and then ship and rotate to the next set of models.
The Cephylix, funny enough, are 3d prints sculpted by Titanforge (except for the big guy and caster that comes with him which are plastic) and you can buy STLs and at some point they'll be selling them in their store.

Honestly I'm expecting the rescasting to be original metals and perhaps things like the 1st run of gargantuans which were resin+metal. I'd wager the plastic moulds could be entirely lost (esp since weren't a bunch of them basically lost in the Chinese factory at the time because they refused to let them go)

Confirmation of why no-one should listen to Kanluwen when it comes to the IG - he doesn't want the IG, he want's Kan's New Model Army...

They delivered pretty much everything people have been asking for and then some in this keynote. If the game keeps getting this kind of support it has a very bright future ahead of it.
