Personally i think all 3 of those options in my thread title are exciting. Undead vampire pirates with guns. Kislev being ice powered russians. Then we have legacy factions like lizardmen, dark elves, vampire counts and others. Sadly i think skaven won't get the Old World treatment. They're the poster boy evil faction for current AoS but they played such a pivotal role in old Warhammer Fantasy (stopped nagash winning twice, almost wiped out the empire and forced them into civil war, mostly took the city of pillars/karak eight peaks and beat the crap out of different factions in End Times). I don't see how you can just keep them out of Old World.

Of course I want complete, shiny, new rules for my various Legacy factions.

But as is? At least I've already got functional rules for them.

So bring on the Kislev!

Personally I would like to see Dark Elves. At least so far GW has refused to commit to doing anything with them properly in AoS and the army is just sitting there. It was actually surprising to see them move Beastmen over (who had an AoS battletome, new models and all) and leave Dark Elves just kind of sitting there in a corner for 10years. Never getting their own book; never really getting a focus and the one time they did it was an expansion book that "soft" put the army back together. My gut impression though is no one really jumped big time at it because it was only an expansion not a battletome and Daughters of Khaine players kind of don't want the Dark Elf army back if it means basically losing the DoK as they are - they've struck out on their own creative pathway much like how Nighthaunt and Flesheaters split out from Vampires.




So that's one I'd welcome seeing come back - the only thing GW would have to replace is perhaps a few DoK Models and they could always bring back the old metals and then give them fresh models.

After that honestly I wouldn't want to see any more new armies. I'd rather see GW put money into updating current ones with updated models. That powerful nostalgia will wane now that there are new armies with fully new models on the market. Those old Bretonnia Ponies and all those models in metal - those are things customers and GW want to move into modern plastics.



So maybe bring back Dark Elves then go full power on updates for a while. I'd actually consider it a failing if GW went too heavy with new factions and wound up with a bunch of old-time factions that are left in the dust.

I was just thinking the other day that I miss some of the classiqué Dark Elf units like Cold One Riders and that I should have done an army of them when I had the chance, so +1 for Dark Elves.

If Cathay is on the table now, Ind could be cool.

Legacy, Kislev, vampire coasts, new units for existing factions

Kislev and Vampirates please. Eould gladly buy both. Legacy factions arent coming back and we all need to accept it.

Space Slann just to mess with everyone I'd probably go kislev just so i can finally get into old world without having to rebase all my stuff/ buy conversion trays.
