![]() Much of their line still exists as Sylvaneth and a few entries under Cities of Sigmar. The designers have confirmed they will be a faction in The Old World. Wood Elves are my personal choice of army to start before The Old World release. For example the Windchargers look like updated Elysian Riders. At least some this new line look like updated versions of the old lines. However in the Age of Sigmar they did get a number of new releases as the Lumineth Realm-lords. You can still find them on ebay of course. For most factions that should make no difference to their aesthetics or options.Īt the time of writing the entire line of old high elf models has disappeared from the shelves. The Old World will be set in an earlier period though, so we could expect some aesthetic and technological differences with Warhammer Fantasy Battles. Old hands know that many kits designed for Warhammer Fantasy Battles were simply repackaged with different bases for Age of Sigmar. This is the key reason we could start a The Old World faction before its release at least some of the relevant models are already for sale in the Age of Sigmar. The setting for The Old World, as implied by its name, will be essentially the same as that of Warhammer Fantasy Battles except set in an earlier time period. That being the case it may make sense choose models that are also in, or close to, true scale to better fit the new aesthetic. ![]() They may look more like the some of the newer releases for Age of Sigmar such as the Gravelords and the Krule Boyz. Likely this will mean that new releases for The Old World will also be proportioned in True Scale. See below for more details.Īs I have observed in this article, Games Workshop seems to be moving away from “heroic scale”. This is not the end of the world (pun intended), because there are many alternative sources for square bases. One thing to be aware of with these boxes is that they are currently packaged with the round bases suitable for Age of Sigmar but not the square ones appropriate for Warhammer Fantasy Battles. Many of these models are still sold new although repackaged under Age of Sigmar branding. That is with a few caveats that I will get to later. What this means for those starting a new force today is that any models and factions that were released for Warhammer Fantasy Battles should also be fine for The Old World. No doubt there will be new releases as well but all (or at least most) of the old models should be usable. So we can expect that The Old World will be similar enough to Warhammer Fantasy Battles that the collections of these players will be absolutely playable with the new rules. It tells us that The Old World will be GW’s way to make amends to those veteran players outraged at the apparently permanent retirement of Warhammer Fantasy Battles.
