    I really hope the rumor of that there will be a scale difference between new and old models is wrong. If that is true it would be like a slap in the face for all of us that already have old models.

    Agreed... the round bases are already bad enough; a scale differential would be even worse.

    I am direly starting to hope that Age of Sigmar isnt 9th ed...but a standalone game.

    The rumor from Darnok on Warseer seems to imply that. Claws crossed!

    Yeah according to Darnok AoS is new and quick game while there'll be an actual 9th edition. Dunno what to say.

    Unfortunately, even if that is the case (and I hope it is!), the model aesthetic of AoS will undoubtedly be the one we'll face in 9th edition.

    If we can still perfectly well use our current models (LM!) I'm "okay" with that. If we can't I'll be pissed. :p

    I assume that we will be able to use them... it wouldn't make much sense for GW to prevent us from doing so. Plus the rumours seem to lean that way as well.

    What I worry about is that our army...
    • will slowly wither against power creep
    • won't look good alongside of the new stuff which may potential be of a slightly larger scale
    • will no longer receive any support

    Uhhhmm.

    Taking some measurements...

    What I did here is make a little box. At the edge of the base. Then copy that box as
    many times as needed to make a vertical ruler.
    Siggyknigget2.png
    The figure is eight base thicknesses tall. If the base is 4mm thick the figure is 32mm boot heel to noggin, plus that annoying pony tail. When I compared the straight lines I got a thickness estimate of 4mm rather than the traditional 3mm.

    I could throw the image in a CAD program; draw a grid; assume the base is 32mm wide...

    @n810 ... one drafter to another; check my math?

    EDITED:

    < Brainfart >
    32mm tall?
    Thats more than your average kroxigor....


    < /Brainfart >

    took a quick look at my ruler and saw 32mm as 3.2'' inches! :p
    NVM the above @pendrake

    Siggyknigget3 :: for the inspection of one and all. The squares in the grid are 1/16th the width of the base. There are 16 squares highlighted in yellow. If that base is a 32mm circle as has been speculated then the squares are 2mm each. 2x16=32. Boot-heel to noggin at least 32mm. Spikes and horse[?]hair top-knot add another 5mm. The anvil he is waving around is at an altitude of around 46mm above the base.

    Confirmation of some details via sales brief:

    [​IMG]

    Confirmed by this are:
    • New rules and support for old armies (so Bretonnian update also?). Continued support after is still in question.
    • Two new 'armies' - could be taken as two new factions (digging that old rumour back up), however I think it's more likely to be in line with GW approach to 40K armies (Khorne Daemonkin, Eldar Craftworlds, etc).
    • Both small-scale and large-scale battles possible.
    • Small rulebook with AoS.
    • Continued support for AoS releases.
    Honestly, if they've really invested and created a "rich" world, as the 95 page background book might hint at, then I'd be much more content.

    Also, that spelling error is irksome >.<

    My nitpicking: it says support for old *models.* Bretonnia as a coherent or distinct army may still be dead (./weeps uncontrollably over unpainted Bret lord on Pegasus)

    Weird... since only characters can currently take them.
    Unless they are bringing back the core/special/rare/character slot system..?
