Welcome back to the Old World.

Cheers KevinC for getting round to doing this, looking forward to seeing the first TOW preview on Sunday!

Here's hoping it restores the full amount life that Warhammer Fantasy once had!

Looks like a good start to an army there, why not start a blog for them, to keep you chugging along?

Hey KevinC
I just saw the addition of a TOW specific hobby board.
If I may offer my unsolicited opinion I'd suggest against this division and would instead just have a general board for all hobby project.
There's no need to make it even more dispersive and concentrating threads into a single location (where they'd be supposedly more active) helps with making the board feel more alive.

ETA: same thing for the "Locate players" board. No need to disperse an already fairly empty board.

I think separate sections for all the things that are distinct between the games makes sense (army lists, rules, battle reports, tactics).

Painting and Hobby projects are highly likely to overlap, with armies used for both, so should probably go in a separate section of their own, which is used for both 8th edition, TOW and all other editions of WFB painting logs.

The locate players/events section depends on how much traction both games continue to get, but probably makes sense to keep as just one shared section for now.

Personally, I like the separate sub-forums for each game. Neat and tidy.

Personally, I'm in agreement with the others here. We should keep things separate, but, rather than running two separate forums under one roof, there needs to be a certain level of integration if we want to draw in people prone to engaging in both games (aka, painting and modeling projects need to be under that tab so that everyone will see both). Otherwise, TOW players could easily just stay under this tab and never explore anything eighth related.

(It'd really be nice to see this forum escalate to the levels Warhammer-Empire was at before End Times happened. Rick, I know you remember!)

If anything, The End Time proved how popular WFB was. Do you know how difficult it was to get the End Times books when they were release? I had to sit in front of my computer at 1pm on each pre-order saturday to ensure I could order them...they sold out immediately.

I missed the Khaine book online, sold out within 5 mins. So, I had to go to a local GW store on the saturday of release where I stood in line for an hour before the store opened so I could get one. The store only received two copies and I got one of them.

WFB ending had NOTHING to do with 8th edition. For years 40K was outselling WFB by a large margin.

The truth is TOW is UNLIKELY to outsell 40K or AOS. People just don't buy it at the same rate. That's not going to change in the age of 3D printing, though I hope I'm wrong btw.

Also, if you are a WFB fan, I don't understand how you cannot like the End Times campaign books (other than the fact that the world was destroyed). The books were so well written and there was a thousand easter eggs referencing lore from WFB 2nd edition through 8 edition. And even 40K got some nods. It was amazing.

I've found that haters of the End Times don't know WFB lore that well (which is fine). I've been a hug fan of the WFB narrative since the late 80s, and the End Times is a treasure trove of WFB lore that brought everything together in a careful and graceful way.
