I regularly find games based on WHFB to be really cool. AoS on the other hand never interested me.
I played the demo and got turned off by constantly saying "Orruk" instead of orc and lack of base building.
Are there many still around these days? From the top of my head I only know of Vermintide and Total War: Warhammer.
The latter was so good it is bringing back the Old World from GW!
Yes, I love TWWH exactly for that, hate that the game is split into so many DLCs though.
Oh absolutely.
On the other hand, we'd probably have had to wait way longer for the games if they included every race from the get-go, if we would have gotten the games at all. But the day 1 DLCs? Yeah, those can go die in a fire.
Oh, and since you seem to be interested in the TT site of the Old World as well, are you reading the current article series on their community page for the new game?
There´s a new game?
For the tabletop, yes. They anounced late 2019 that they were developing it, it is set to release at the beginning of next year. So January of February. It is very creatively called "Warhammer: The Old World" an set in Warhammers past and a mix of what they liked best throughout the past editions. Here is the article overview on their community page.
Currently they are doing an article every monday taking a glance on the upcomig rules.
You'll be able to play with your old minis if you still have them. But they anounced earlier in the year that the base size for most minis will change to something bigger. Only thing concrete so far is that apparently every 20mm base will change to a 25mm base. (the basing article it talks a bit about Bretonnian armies before the basing)
Interesting, thank you!
You're welcome!
