It's not laziness. Balance before release just isn't really possible, not with this sort of game, not with this many factions and this many options within factions, played by this many people but developed by this small a team, not when the established competitive scene for the game hasn't...

The Folks of the Square Based podcast, known for the Square Based Renegade Pack and for running numerous The Old World events, have recently released a simplified tournament comp system for the Old World, meant to be compatible with the existing official matched play guide: .... Basically...

I've withdrawn from the homebrew bloodline projects on this forum, partially because I realized my design sensibilities were enough at odds with them that I wasn't really contributing and would only get in the way, but mostly because of the sentiment expressed in this XKCD comic: Old World...

I think we'd all love to see this, but unless/until there's another management shake up at GW it seems unlikely, as the current pattern of rigidly enforced separation of product ranges reeks of executive interference. But hey, Warriors of Chaos got to be an exception due to how fundamental they...

I don't know about the larger trend. This is something that warhammer players have always said was a thing, but that hasn't really been borne out in practice. There have been and continue to be so many new releases that are wildly underpowered on release, like just plain bad. And there have...

Battalion of exclusively old plastic models is a pretty standard practice for Old World's officially supported WHFB holdover factions. Tomb Kings and Brettonians only didn't have one already because they got the larger starter army launch boxes with the hardcover core book included instead...

I can't get this one myself as I also already have 10 blood knights, plus 5 more on old world bases. Still, a nice looking box. Wish they found a way to squeeze the 'Vampire Lord on Nightmare Steed' in there, but still.

Square Based podcast looks at the new book. A bit disappoontrd by thr tomb kings rules tbh. the scrolls are one use per game, can be dispelled, & most of them are pretty pricey. the only new mount option is the barded steed, no option to put heroes on necroserpents or war sphinxes. an...

Arcane Journal: War of Settra's Fury goes up for pre-order this weekend, expected release two weeks later, and I've put an order in with my local store. If you haven't paid much attention to it, here's the WarCom designers commentary: Old World Almanack – Designer’s commentary for The War of...

if you don't like the normal ghouls, the newer 'Crypt Guard' fit the look while having much better posing & proportions. If you equip them with their hand weapons instead of the optional halberds (the kit comes with enough of both for every model) then they should rank up easier than the lesser...

If you've overlooked indie games in the past, then now is a great time to go back and check out what you've missed. Partially because the past gen has seen an absolute explosion of indie development, to the point that it's almost a problem. There are so many indies out there that even great...

Not to argue any of the other points in either direction, but on the base size front, but I'm definitely on the 'it's a positive thing' side for the base size changes. WHFB was pretty desperately in need of the base size increase by 8th edition. Scale creep had been a thing for like a decade...

fair enough! I'm a bit nervous re: prime 4 and will be waiting for reviews before i pick it up, especially as I'd be stuck on switch one and am worried about how well it will run on the older hardware / without Switch 2's mouse controls. But the prime 1 remaster was really good and is...

Still deep deep into Silksong. all other hobby gaming activities are on hold. I've beaten the game, and 100% it, and did the 5 hour run - which wasn't as bad as I'd feared. Only one restart pretty early on. I still need the 30 hours 100% run (daunting), the no death run (shouldn't be too...

I only got as far as priming some of it, unfortunately. As with many of my hobby projects, it got bogged down and back shelved at the point of painting.

I don't think I have the time or headspace for hobby this month, so I have to sit this round out. I'll scrape off the rust by October, though.

Old world did increase base sizes from old warhammer fantasy. old 20mm squares are now 25mm, heavy cav is on 30x60 now, etc. much of the gravelord range fits fine: I was surprised how well the blood knights fit on 30x60s given how huge they are, though i did need to weapon swap the...

Welcome! As one of the few who like warhammer both old and new, I'm always happy to meet a player who can like either one without hating the other. The animosity between the two groups is a real shame, & fully the fault of GW's mismanagement. Old World is pretty great. A fair bit of jank...

Im with you on prefering the wight king (though o think the new one is also good), but not the rest. Imo the new grave guard are great, the new dragon is fantastic, etc. But i do still hope the old range eventually returns to old world for those who prefer it. in the mean time, if you prefer...

Ok, so the Don has suggested homebrew projects as a means of shaking off the rust on these forums. I'm not sure how much juice I have in me, certainly not much before october, but there are several projects I've been thinking on and off about over the years that might qualify... D&D: A...
