TOW THE OLD WORLD - Poll: Will TOW be a faithful successor to WFB 8th edition?

For TOW's sake, that one person better be one hell of a big spender!

 

I just am holding out hope they will release a Khemric Titan!

 

Now that would be grand! So much better than that Bone Dragon.

I guess we never know down the line. If TOW is successful, anything is possible.

 

Agreed! I honestly dislike the bone dragon for Tomb Kings as it doesn't fit IMO their art direction. GW isn't known for caring about that if it might make money as we all know.

 

That's exactly how I feel. I have no interest in ever buying that Bone Dragon.

 

A new Settra would be nice, same model just a new one. I have one but I'd like to paint one with my decades of practice.

 

They'll probably re-release it, unless they have a new sculpt already in the works.

I'm surprised they didn't release a Hierotitan. It wouldn't take much effort as the general design has already been created in TW: Warhammer.

 

Plus if just for the old guys like me it's like printing money. We use them and would be nice to have and official model. I've been playing my Skaven more right now but if they release some of the Tomb Kings I want then the repaint job will happen.

 

I'm not a Tomb Kings player and I agree that it doesn't fit their aesthetic but I might save up for one to convert my own zombie dragon, since I really don't like the plastic one for Vampire Counts. I'll swap the head of course since that one is hideous.

 

I could see that working!

 

I found a nice Khemric Titan on etsy and I'm saving for it now. Honestly right now the biggest concern I have for this new edition, other than too much magic, is how viable chariots will be. Don't want a return of 8th where they were low end units due to the massive amounts of hordes.

 

Well this is very sad. No tournament play support, nor expected support in the future for Legacy Factions, ergo Lizardmen. The game looks really cool, sounds like i will probably start another army then, but no Lizards in tournament games is well, sad.

 

Other interesting article from Goonhammer. Their articles are usually great for people who do not know them, so them saying this about the game i find pretty interesting. The other article explains the game very well.

As someone who plays Skaven and Lizards and has friends who play DoC and VC this took the wind out of several people's want to play this game. I was already less than thrilled by the magic in every phase but not having updates is rough.

 

For me personally, no tournament support is rough. I am a comp player at heart, would have loved to flex those Slann magic phase control knuckles again at a local tourney, but sadly it seems i have to defect to another faction to play tournaments.

 

I did already wanted to start a new army for The Old World, i mean, if they make something good you gotta support it right, but i first wanted to wait out what army was actually good, now i will probably just go in blind.

 

This moves me to not play TOW when it is released. The legacy armies include half the group I am a part of that plays WHFB 8th Ed. I don't have the desire or funds (GW prices are crazy) to start a new army and leave behind my beloved lizards. We will be staying with 8th ed. in our group.
