    I didn't think they would kill off a popular army but this is GW so you never know. Still it would have been a crazy move on their part.

    WRT Vampire Counts and TOW, remember that they only announced the first wave of releases. From what I've been able to gather, factions not in that initial 9 will be getting temporary PDFs. Not great if their PDF releases for Horus Heresy are anything to be believed, but some would argue that it's better than nothing at all at the moment.

    Exactly, and I personally think that those will just be placeholders until campaign supplements featuring these other factions are released later on, so that players who have any existing Fantasy army can get playing with some sort of TOW army list straight away, essentially the 'Ravening Hordes' of this edition.

    Amusingly, with the base size change from 20mm to 25mm for the smallest minis, it's entirely possible that all you really need to play your AoS'd minis in TOW are movement trays fitted for circular bases.

    That will be good for them and will help gather interest for the game. I plan on only adjusting my bases from the old fantasy size with movement trays. My Skaven army alone has over 400 minis, all scenic based and it'll be a cold day in hell I rebase that. Same for my Empire, dwarves, Wood Elves, lizardmen... Tomb Kings do need better bases so that would be the only army I'd consider this for.

    For VC, it literally just boils down to "most of the big VC characters are currently discorporate, having been recently staked and burned, so you can run them but most of them are re-dead in this timeline."

    I miss the skeleton horde. I'm happy we have a spiritual successor for it now.

    But dear gods of chaos that bloodletter design! LOL

    I once had that set.
    I still have the odd skeleton and the bone chariot.
