Great-looking Bretonnian Paladin, shame it's Forge World Resin again which sucks arse. Also I'm not impressed that they've previewed just one model at this point in time, it makes me worried that they're not going to release TOW in the 40th anniversary of Warhammer Fantasy year after all. It really is a mystery to me why GW are making character models in FW resin when they've already revolutionised the art of making character models in plastic. It's like going back to fax machines in the age of email. production is most likely as they already have a significant amount of their range out of stock their plastic range is just too big for them right now

They did say there was only going to be one model for TOW previewed.

They did say there was only going to be one model for TOW previewed. Where did they say that? I only ever heard them say that they'd be previewing miniatures for AoS, Warcry, Underworlds, HH and TOW, with no mention of how many models they were going to show for each.

I feel people would be less upset if they read the announcement carefully. Obviously I was hoping for more but they said we would get one and we got one - and to be fair it was a good 'un! It wasn't over-stated or elaborate, just what I would expect a BSB to be. They also said there would be more to show later on this year so there is that to look forward to.

There was another post were they stated the following: "Warhammer: The Old World is marching closer to release, and there’ll be another development diary coming at some time in June." This got me and probably other people hyped for a big announcement in June. When there was no new article about the Old World, I hoped for some news in the preview. Even if they only show a single model, they could mention the release schedule they have in mind.

I personally would rather wait and make sure it’s ready rather than they feel they have to release stuff piecemeal which I suspect is exactly what this model preview is (because they said there would be something and perhaps they weren’t quite ready to show off what they have).

There's also a notice on their landing page that they're upgrading their warehouses. While impossible to say definitively, I would hope this is an expansion for them to house all of the product that is going to be produced for The Old World.

I think a 2023 release of WH:TOW is off the table. I'm beginning to come round to your way of thinking. Even if it was to be releaased this year, I think it would feel rushed...

They just announced a new game system for Epic 30k. (Imperialis, or something like that) - looking ahead at the release schedule I think that is taking the spotlight and it looks like TOW is being usurped by that for the time being.
I'm also onboard with the thinking that TOW will probably be a 2024 release

I don't think they can squeeze in another full game launch for WH:TOW. I see a lot of youtubers promoting rumors of a late fall game launch. I have strong doubts that will happen. But seeing two game launches in 2023 implies GW can do two game launches in 2024 -- AoS 4th edition and WH:TOW.

Bear in mind that they don’t really have to create a lot of “new” things for TOW, the rules systems are there already for them to tweak, pick and choose as they see fit, the models already exist for most armies in the spotlight (and those not in the spotlight). They may choose to push the release back if two large releases in a year is a bit cramped in terms of creating too much noise but in terms of having the capability it is possible. Having said all that, I would happily wait if it means a better fleshed out product at the end.
