>GW haters BTFO

both these things are false. If anything, this is a WFB win, because they also get Bretonnia back.

It's a nice change of pace from GW, but they will probably cost a fortune

>>49667319
That's really fucking cool.
Honestly, Kevin Rountree has done a pretty fantastic job putting the company back on good tracks. Very few missteps along the way. Glad to see that, really.

>>49667319
Probably at a fuckmassive price increase.

Still, if they're making the really old minis I may pick up some. Like Zacharias.

>>49667319
What do they mean by "entire catalog of OOP"? Can I buy some MkI land raiders, a Warhammer Fortress and a box of Diaz daemonettes?

>>49667433
>Buying some Old necromunda

Sweet baby jesus yes.
Oh god.
I just realised, it's probably going to be in Finecast. Please God, prove me wrong.

>>49667433

That's what it seems to imply. No longer will the denizens of /wip/ have to scour ebay for a Johnny, they'll be able to order one direct from GW.

>>49667511
Battle.
Fleet.
Gothic.

Man, I was gonna spend my tax return on Burning of Prospero and get something nice for my mom for Christmas...

>>49667319
i hope they reproduce rough riders for my IG
I know that they arent useful or strong, but i like them

>>49667433
Okay, I think GW a shit, but if they bring back Diazmonettes I'll admit openly that they're starting back in the right direction again.
>>49667511
They don't do shitcast anymore.

>>49667538
>>49667412
Seriously, this is a win/win for GW on so many levels, I'm legit shocked that they never tried this before
>Good PR
>Money for OOP models is going to them instead of Ebay scalpers
>They can get more use out of old Failcast and old molds instead of scrapping them
>They can mark up prices by a huge amount and still be cheaper than the scalpers
Why the fuck didn't they do this before now?

>>49667571
Man you never know. The 100th store special captain was Finecast.

>>49667584
Because every order is a custom order. It's so much easier to have a production line of X that's being constantly made, stored and shipped. It's like their old bits service. From what I hear, it took up a lot of space, time and effort, and wasn't that profitable on the long run. For each order someone has go do and make the minis you order. Or they have to have a small number of everything on stock, which takes up space. That costs money with minimal returns.

And here I am sitting on 5 boxes of skeleton snakes and 3boxes of tomb guard

Oh well,

>>49667571
>They don't do shitcast anymore.
They don't produce any more new models in finecast.

If a model was finecast before it was discontinued, it will likely still be finecast in the made-to-order. This is because the metal molds they converted to resin molds.

I don't really mind. Finecast had a rocky start but their latest ones were much better, and I prefer to work with resin over metal anyway.

>>49667319
If GW puts the 8e Warhammer Fantasy books back on their website with the tagline "The World That Was Is Gone In One Universe, But Many More Still Fight On" I will respect them again.

Seriously, this is such a good move and only refuces the toxicity withing the collective Warhammer communities.

>>49667779
Books aren't miniatures. Though wouldn't mind the ability to buy some old rulebooks and codexes.

>>49667412
>>49667433
They probably mean only the model discontinued in the passage from WFB to AoS

Older model casts have probably been destoyed long ago.
Thy're also going to relaunch both BFG, Necromunda and maybe ven Mordheim, so what's the point

>>49667701
I prefer plastic because I like how it glues and paints better myself, but finecast is better then nothing at all, MTO tomb kings will be exactly what I was looking for on my necrons

Keep being delusional, fags.

>>49668145
Don't hope so much

Most of those molds have been destroyed years ago, those models will nevere come back.

Also, Genestealer limos were not an official model.

Plus, they said no limited edition, so old Archaon and Nagash are off limits

>>49668232
Did you even read the thread? The sole WFB guy here wants the games to both coexist.

Its only the boxes that were last chance to buy, nothing more. At least not initially.

So yes Brets and TK, no to BFG ships.

>>49668232
Surely the iniziative has been kickstarted by how profitable and self sustaining the latest decisions have been.

>>49667538

>a whole chapter of johnnies

>>49668272
That is very probable indeed.
It would be naive to expect some 20 year old models to pop out of noxhere when the molds have been destroyed ages ago.
However, since GW listens to its community once more, it might be another way for fans to ask for old OOP models to be re-introduced, or given a modern look.

The only molds GW ever claimed were destroyed are the Man O' War ones.

>>49668343
Nothing wrong with playing medieval knights.

Hmm, I wonder if this was made possible by some new manufacturing process, or if it's just been made worthwhile to do by the switch-over to AOS.

>>49668306
>>49668326
Souce: Head office.

Also, molds dont get 'destroyed'. Most of the degrade over time, and when they degrade seriously theyre either remade or new models released.Look at the FW SW terminator kit, we had a whole new mold made just because theyre going to be popular when Inferno drops.

>>49668343
By no means you should stop.
I'm just saying this is giving the chance to people who want to join Fantasy a chance to play TK and Bretonnia and it is a good thing

Resin and metal moulds were always short lived things and you can always make more quite easily. Metal moulds are a different thing, of course. Would like to know how many of them have been lost forever and how many are still around. I'm sure there's more than a few old plastic kits people would like to buy.

>>49668367
IIRC there was one of the injection molds that got dropped by someone and permanantly destroyed; was that it (the mold for the hulls)?

>>49668716
I'll have to try the vidya sometimes. It's a buggy EA mess at the moment, but seems to be taking form, slowly but surely.

I personally don't see how this is a step towards fixing fundamental issues. Either way I am bound to save a bundle as GW is likely to mark up the prices for their made to order models.

Yes and no... you could with a metal model, but it's the same problem as anyone else doing a recast (mild fidelity loss). You would't with a plastic one. Plastic models require tooled metal molds; classically they're produced from a master model 3x bigger. Tooling a plastic mold is incredibly expensive even with CNC, so once those molds wear out, it's more cost efficient to make a completely different kit.

I'm definitely cautiously optimistic about GW's future at this point, they have to fix their rules before I buy back in to anything

>>49671853
Well they fixed fantasy, so here's hoping they do the same to 40k.

I'm being sincere, btw. Fite me

All those recasting fuckers on eBay must feel ill right now

I agree to an extent, age of sigmar feels like dumbed down 40k after all.

I really just want some tactical depth instead of stacking your list so you're rolling as many 2+ as possible

>>49671881
They killed Fantasy and made a new game. Which became a totally different game because the first version was hated by almost everyone.

>>49671909
Not likely, most of that is made to order too. Plus, its not like GW stuff is going to be cheaper.

>>49671909
No, GW will never be able to beat recaster prices

>>49671936
It was hated by everyone that liked the old game
Meaning it was hated by a few hundred people max, they were just extremely salt about it
It's also way more profitable than the old game, which means GW's gonna keep making it

>>49671962
Yeah, but recaster stuff is usually not very quality, so If you care about that then you might be willing to pay more.

>>49667847
It wasn't /that/ long ago that they dropped the specialist games, around 2012-3 was when they killed the ranges/sold them all of and stopped resupplying. The moulds should hopefully still exist.

>>49671991
You kidding? Nobidy except a few hundred faggots liked the game at launch.

Every pro review called it shit.

It wasn't even a game either, it had less rules than Candy Land.

>>49672190
And yet here we are.

>>49672190
Hello there, saltfag. More people liked it than you care to admit for sure. Which is why the game is thriving today, and not dead. And no, the current success is not entirely attributed to the GHB, but that was a big contributor to it.

>>49672190
>professional tabletop wargame reviews

>>49672138
eh. apparently many of the molds were getting pretty worn.
Which is why the games were dropped, not considered worth the investment for new ones at the time.

If they release mordheim miniatures, I will drop some serious cash.

We don't know how long this window will remain open.

>>49672190
>Every pro review called it shit.
Haha oh wow. Let me let you in on a secret. There is no such thing as tabletop pro reviews. You don't go to school to become a pro reviewer for tabletop. All these 'pro reviews' are just written by vocal guys just like you and me. They have nothing discerning them from their fellow peer gamers. So any reviewer, whether it's for or against AoS, are all by the same type of person.

What am I getting at? We are part of a hobby that's more niche than D&D and even model train collectors. The only professionals are makers of the games we play, and even then that's a stretch at times.

So to say one's opinion of the game (again, regardless of whether it's pro or against) is more valid than others in this regard is absolutely ridiculous.

Haha I saw this comic today and could only think of the argument in this thread. I had to. I have had way too much free time lately.

Fuck, guess it's time to flip my unpainted bolter bitches with Immolater that I've been sitting on.

Wait, does this include battlefleet gothic?

so you're saying it's a certainty?

>>49684404
>Wait, does this include
no one knows

In Age of Sigmar, a goblin wounds another goblin on a 5+. A goblin will wound a dragon on a 5+.
This is terrible game design, doubly so since the to hit and to wound charts were probably the best things Fantasy had going for it.

>>49684669
But anon...low model count, no force org, bring whatever you want. That $50 for three guys makes more sense when you only need those three guys instead of fifteen of them because games are all arbitrarily 2500 points to keep poorfags out.

Core tax and no formations to reward theme play killed Warhammer. Not the glorious Archaon and Celestant Prime.

>>49684669
Whoa, it's like it's the summer of 2015 again! It's like I am reading posts from the same year! Is the mad really going on longer than a year? Have you really run out of new stuff to say that you have to keep rehashing the same asinine arguments?

>>49684669
>to hit charts so useless that, in order to make elves good at hitting things, the designers create a special rule rather than simply increasing their weapon skill
>to wound charts mattering in Great Weapon Infantry: The Game where 90% of combat interactions involve wounding on a 2+

>>49684769
Low model count and such are what Mordheim was good for. You play WHFB for the regimental tactics and formations. If the heroes and lords we're made less important and OP, it would have been a really great game.

They killed a war game to make a skirmish game, but there was no need to replace anything.

In theory it shouldn't be more expensive, this kind of processes is a proven sucessful business model. They are just trying to LEAN out. Producing only things that have been ordered rather than shipping large quantities with unknown sales is much more profitable, then you can match production exactly to demand. In theory, the models could be even cheaper. Buncha jews probably gonna charge more though.

>>49684843
>Low model count and such are what Mordheim was good for.
or just warhammer skirmish

That was a thing quite similar to mordheim, used your regular army and was free in the back of the 6e rulebook.

>>49684669
If you looked at the game you would notice that strength and toughness got rolled into damage and wounds.

Something weak like a goblin wounds on a 5+ and does only 1 damage. This shows their skill and strength. A goblin itself is 1 wound, showing it's weak and one good hit from another goblin can take it out, but that's not usual considering goblins are cowards and weak fighters.

A dragon is much different, in that they hit things on an average of a 3+ or 2+, and do generally 2 or more damage per attack, and more attacks. They also have multiple different attacks, like breath weapon and tail swipe and claws. They are also much bigger and tougher than a goblin having about 14 wounds and a much greater defense. So you still need a shit ton of goblins to take out a dragon, and the dragon player to roll bad on saves. Nothing has really changed in this regard. And one single successful roll from a dragon will average taking out 2+ goblins because they have weak saves and are usually ignored anyway. Whereas one single successful roll from a goblin will do 1 damage to a dragon's 14 hit pool, if he's lucky and the dragon fails his save.

But I have no idea why I bothered to type this all out anyway as it will fall on deaf ears and be ignored entirely. Oh well, we all waste our own time in one fashion or another.

>>49684877
Anon, nobody knows about Warhammer Skirmish. Its a myth perpetrated by salty Fantasyfags pretending that their game did Age of Sigmar first.

Mordheim is a video game, not a tabletop.

6e was just an excuse to sell models, it wasn't a real game.

>>49684951
>Oh well, we all waste our own time in one fashion or another.
You're on 4chan.

That's like saying that it's okay to go to the deep end of the pool because you get wet eventually when you're already in the fucking water in the first place.

Let's wrap this up

AoS is liked by some people, so it deserves to live

but WFB didn't deserve to die for it, because some people like that too

>>49684993
AoS is liked by some people, so it deserves to live
Liked by enough people for it to thrive today.
>but WFB didn't deserve to die for it, because some people like that too
But not enough people to keep it alive.

There, wrapped up all in a bow.

Games Workshop has the single worst fanbase in global pop culture, I swear. Its all the toxicity of every /v/ group put together.

They're fucking plastic toys, all of which are tied to terrible games and terrible settings. Some less so than others, but none good.

>>49685098
>AoSfags claim the points and ridiculous amount of models needed killed Fantasy

Still not as many as fantasy did. Competitive AoS lists at 2000 points are a fraction of the model count as an average fantasy tournament list.

>AoSfags claim "You should have bought more models!"
>GW resurrects dead Fantasy lines they just killed to try to save AoS
>try to save AoS
Which didn't need saving. It's thriving well. This was just them replying to a common request, a result of them opening communication to the community. Returning old models isn't a gambit to save anything, just giving players what they ask for.

>"B-b-b-b-b-b-but only like a hundred people played Fantasy, everybody loves AoS!"
>Meanwhile, 40kfags laugh their asses off as they get all the support
40k is getting the attention right now because AoS got it all during the summer. Then next summer it will return to more AoS attention.

Ah so you're just a shitposter. Nevermind then.

>>49685230
So far, the only shitposters in this thread have been on the side of AoS. Funny how that works.

>everyone that disagrees with me is a shitposter
This attitude seems to be everywhere on /tg/ these days.

>>49685417
>>49685247
I don't define someone as a shitpost whether or not they agree or disagree with me, I define it based on the attitude and intent of the post.

This is specifically for the stuff that was put on the GW site's last chance section though, so no Diaznettes or Mordheim

Also this doesn't mean that TK or Brets will show up back in the fluff in any meaningful way. They are still dead.

>>49684877
And it should have staid that way. I won't deny that 8th Edition wasn't the worst designed fantasy game on the market, but AOS has neatly inherited that title with bad game design in other aspects.

>>49681792
From what i remember anons on cirrpel chan would run a stock watch and laugh at gdubs as AoS sold less.
Battle of Cailth outsold AoS by a mile in a shot while
Generally old faggots like me want to play formation games and others like some semibalance of order in their game measurements.
I was fucking surprised there was a biger AoS at my old LGS even more when they explained there was point values.
