I personally am also interested to see if any models for the Leagues of Votann are teased next week, a couple of their banners are on display in the picture and bringing Squats back (reinvented to fit the new grimdark aesthetics) has been the best thing GW has done for 40K in recent times. I'm really interested to learn more about Leagues of Votann. Squats were my very first minatures wargaming army back in Rogue Trader days. I don't see how GW will fit them into modern 40K with the bloated amount of armies we already have. Maybe they are (short) guys in heavy armor. Isn't that non-primaris marines? Maybe they are (short) guys from mining worlds. Isn't that Genestealer Cult? Maybe they are (short) guys with better technology than Imperial Guard. Isn't that Adeptus Mechanicus? Just having them be short doesn't make them different enough to be interesting.

Has anyone seen anything concrete on TOW release dates?
Or rumors?

Has anyone seen anything concrete on TOW release dates? Or rumors? In 2019 GW said TOW would not be released for three+ years. We are only just coming to that point now. But if it were dropping in 2022, they would already be hyping it. Maybe 2023.

This is really interesting: war-of-sigmar.herokuapp.com/bloggings/6143#comment-5849082306It's a quote from Hastings, who people might remember from the Warseer forum - one of the few genuinely reliable rumour-mongers, with several years' track record of knowing his stuff. "As AoS day was so shitty (in my opinion at least) I think I should spread a little cheer, for those of you interested in The Old World project, a I can tell you that Bret and Tomb King plastic kits are going back into production, ready to be available when the project launches." "It's the plastic kits that were available previously for Bret & TK, so men at arms and bowmen will be there."

"It's the plastic kits that were available previously for Bret & TK, so men at arms and bowmen will be there." This was one of the things I was most hoping for, that they'd bring back the kits they killed off at the beginning of the AoS era to make the game affordable for new beginners to get into, and for those with existing armies to continue expanding them. I'd love for this to be true - if they did this then TOW would shoot right up in my esteem! Of course I'd like to see new and improved kits for Tomb King Skeleton Warriors, Archers, Horsemen and Chariots in time, but if they could just re-establish production of the last-known kits first, at an affordable price, and then revamp them later on as they're doing for AoS factions then that would still be the best possible outcome achieved.

Oh boy, if true, this bodes well for players. And I can stop trying to hunt eBay, TrollTrader, and everywhere else for those rare lucky bargains/fair prices for OOP kits. The prices for models keep creeping up, but as long as they're sticking close to $50USD for boxes of 10 infantry, we may not have to break the bank. And as much as I'd love a complete model refresh for every army (c'mon High Elf spearmen!), I'll be glad to have the old plastics kits in the meantime.

Well, we can hope for reasonable prices on these kits, anyway. But we are talking about GW here...

Very excited to finally get some of the Tomb Kings kits I missed out on (Warsphinx, Tomb Guard, snake riders) as the prices on eBay are ridiculous, like over 100 quid in some cases. Also hoping for the return of the Dragon Princes kit (hopefully not marked up to 50 quid...)

I would start a High Elf army if they got the majority of the kits back in production and released updated kits for units like Spearmen & Archers.

I also wish they'd do a multipart kit for Swordmasters. I really like the monopose plastics in Island of Blood, but the dynamism you can get out of a kit like the Dark Elf Executioners kit was much envied.

Are you thinking of the older 6th ed metal ones??
