The Miniwargaming phoenix isn't anything - they haven't reboxed the High Elf Phoenix box yet. It's still got the WFB logo on the instructions.
However, that video... "Horus Heresy for AoS"...

Whatever the announcement I had a good time talking smack to the people at an LGS yesterday over this and that's the most I'm expecting to get from all this.

Weren't GW re-selling the 8th edition rule book after the release of Warhammer Total War?
They must realise there is money in this from the nostalgia brigade

www.warhammer-community.com/2019/11/15/old-world-new-warhammer/Yeah. For really reals. In the deepest dungeons of the Warhammer Studio, the counsel of the wise have convened, ancient forges have been re-lit and work has already begun. So far… we’ve made the logo. Next up, everything else. You get the idea – this is a long way off. Years. More than two. Like three or more. Definitely not soon. Obviously, this is really exciting news for all of us, and just like with Sisters of Battle, we’ll keep you updated with more news as the project unfolds. For those of you who don’t know, in 2015, Warhammer: The Game of Fantasy Battles changed forever, in so far as Archaon destroyed the world. Classic Archaon. Everything we knew of the Old World collapsed into a void of Chaos and infinite possibility. From that tumultuous storm came the Mortal Realms, heralding a new dawn of unending war in the Age of Sigmar. From the reforged primordial soup and etheric energies of the Old World rose wonders we could never have imagined – armies of ghosts, fleets of aether-powered aircraft, Greenskin brutes the size of horses, and flying sharks! The heroes, villains, warriors and monsters of Warhammer Age of Sigmar represent the best range of fantasy miniatures in the world, beloved of a passionate, global gaming community. And over the past four years, Warhammer Age of Sigmar has become by far, the most successful fantasy game ever. And yet, the Old World whispers from ages past with its siren song. We grow misty-eyed at the memory of long-lost heroes and glorious kingdoms laid to ruin and of mighty champions whose sagas are sung no more. And of course, much of the lore of the Mortal Realms has its roots in the world that was – with some of it’s most venerable denizens being the very same that fought across those war-torn kingdoms (along with a small selection of choice magical artefacts.) The Old World is to Warhammer Age of Sigmar, as the Horus Heresy is to Warhammer 40,000. The bedrock of lore from which mortals rose to godhood and legends were forged. And like the Horus Heresy, seeing those mythic heroes in action has an undeniable appeal, as does re-creating the glorious armies of a previous epoch – an exciting proposition for hobbyists and gamers alike. And now, we have a dedicated team in the Warhammer Studio beginning the work of bringing all that awesome back to the tabletop. Exciting stuff! If you’re itching to jump into the Old World right now, you can! There is a fantastic selection of computer games, such as Vermintide and Total War: Warhammer, offering a chance to engage in the enduring appeal of the setting. And what next, then, for Warhammer Age of Sigmar? There are some HUGE (some might say giant) plans for the Mortal Realms… More news soon. For now, we have to keep it hysh-hysh.

Brothers, our perseverance has been rewarded! Warhammer Fantasy will return! It may yet be years off, but it will come.

While I'd love if they listened to us, I believe this move has more to do with the fact that none of their video game licensees want to touch the AoS setting despite the fact that AoS 2nd edition has become super popular.

I hope they don't bring back WFB. I don't want a WFB game/world with Sigmarines and all sorts of other AoS nonsense. A new WFB would further kill off the already dwindling player base of 8th edition. If they *did* release new rules and they were terrible I would just continue playing 8th instead. Any new models/support are welcome though. My ideal situation would be a slightly corrected 8th coming out as a specialist game, followed up with army books for the missing factions. You can dream.. Yes, but it would eat into the 8th edition community. There is a good chance that we would lose a significant portion of our community on this site for instance. Even if you hated it, some people will like it because it would be GW supported game. Just a further fracturing of the community. Now if it turned out to be awesome, that is would be fantastic, but I've had my heart broken too many times by GW.
