I. Do. Not. Trust. Them. From bitter expereince and just waving away stuff like this like fan bois, defending all GW does is... Honestly sickening. yes it pisses me off that you just disregard it as roumours and alarmistic. Honestly I think you are naive dudes with a bad attitude. Bordering stupidif not stupid
Please... tell us how you really feel. At least you're correct about the "bitter" part.

Regarding base sizes, if they are different I'll just use appropriate movement trays...I'm not rebasing. That's a great point. Taking it a step further, it would be pretty easy to create custom movement trays with built in spacers. Come to think of it, my Infernal Guard would rank up a lot easier with such a system.

Those trays always look dreadful in my opinion, I don’t want my horde of greasy goblins looking like a synchronised swim team!

I am glad you are optimistic. But GW has a history of doing things like this.. I had to rebase my orks. it is not just whinging, it is from costly, bitter expereince from a sometimes little too greedy company.. That also "forces" you to replace massive ammounts of bookes every few years.. I hope you are right but don´t trust them too much. If they can get away with it and make you pay more for such things, they will.Why? because they have done it before.
But I am not an uncritical fanboi swallowing up and defending all they do. I don´t think that is healthy. it is usually a sign of not being able to think for yourself.

I've been collecting GW miniatures since the late '80s, so I understand why one could feel as you do. At the end of the day, they are still produce my favorite miniatures. However, I'm not super concerned about the new game. I love 8E so I'm content just playing WFB 8E and, also, I don't care to judge what the Old World may or may not be simply based on rumors. I'll wait and see what the game brings...the only factual information is the damage control Q&A GW put out last year.

I'm excited to see what GW does with WH:TOW. If it is good, I'll collect it. But if there is something I don't like about TOW, I wont be upset. I'll just decline to collect it. No big deal.

Personally I've never thought of AoS as any kind of WFB successor. To me AoS is a completely new game to compete with Warmachine/Hoards. Soooooo much this!!

I happened to have skipped 7th ed entirely, ignored age of Sigmar (aside from collecting the greenskins models... But not the kr-eww boys) and if old world doesn't deliver the vibe I want, I won't switch from 8th, but I'll continue to collect the models I like and play the game I like

This does not necessarily imply anything - one way or the other - towards TOW getting a release this year, but it sure will help keep WHF in its past iterations on the radar.
Also...
... this artwork just gives me good oldschool vibes!

the box came with a whopping 24 figures, in fact. Each sprue had enough parts to make four individual warriors with lots of head, arm and weapon options. isn't that counterproductive though? Like "see how many more models you used to get before while now you get fewer miniatures per box"?

"You used to get loads of skeletons in a set, now you get only five in a box!" Not the best advertising!
