isn't that counterproductive though? Like "see how many more models you used to get before while now you get fewer miniatures per box"? Haha Yeah this is the first thought I had when I saw this. "You used to get loads of skeletons in a set, now you get only five in a box!" Not the best advertising! When I was young... I got into 40K with the thirty model RTB01 Space Marine box set and the thirty-six model RTB10 Space Dwarf box set. It has been downhill ever sense.

It is called shrinkflation - and, by nature, Dwarfs are particularly affected.

That is a Moot point, though....

The good thing about the old world is, we will most likely see some old models returning / getting updated. The costs for some WHF sculpts on ebay are ridicolous (Orc war machines, Brets as a whole, the list goes on).
I don't trust GW as well, but whatever they do, they can not take away WFB 8th edition from us.

Tbf that's my fault, I make 4-5 really good copies of Bret trebuchets a week, and sell them for £100-£150 each.
A nice little earner.

Personally, I don't like what I was reading between the lines.I'm glad the Tomb Kings are coming back, they are one of the few armies I brought nothing of when they were actually available and I'm still missing some key units/monsters to complete the army. I'd be fine with most of the old kits coming back, even if some are showing their age now.
"They’re not technically denizens of the Old World" "Our main focus is going to be on the role that Settra and the Tomb Kings of Khemri played in the Old World. But there’s nothing to stop us returning to Nehekhara in the future"
So it does sound like they really are going to concentrate on old world armies only. Which as someone with quite large DE & Lizardmen forces, is another strike against the game before its even out. It sounds to me a lot like they have a whole bunch of Tomb King models they want to shift stock on, but as DE and lizardmen are only just loosing the last of their old world model lines this year, then doesn't look like they are bothering with them for the old world for the time being.

While I understand your line of thought, consider GW's resources and that they will concentrate on making a little something well, rather than a whole world mediocre, perhaps.

I don't think you have anything to worry about. Expect ravening hordes style rules for all factions that were current at the end of 8th edition. The first army books and miniature releases will probably be focused on core old world nations. But as the game grows and expands, they will revamp all the factions.
