I want a proper Old World launch, all new, all factions. I want my weird Empire army back on the table. I used Brettonian archers as the core of my Sylvania army (to show that they were poor) supported by helblasters and great cannons, led by a wizard and general (cause they were rich)
@@knightofthetabletop I'll settle for having stuff that looks good again. A lot of the Empire stuff was monopose, and ugly. That's why I used brettonian archers, the empire ones were terrible
rumours are that the starter sets may be £170.00... but considering the Tomb King Starter Set contains 88% of 2 batallions, plus a bone dragon, 2 characters, 20 dice, 1 scatter die, 3 templates and hardback core rulebook and reference sheets.... if they are £170.00 that is pretty good value

I'm very excited for Old World. However, I think price is what is going to make or break this game. They need to sell models to justify supporting the game, but you run into the issue of many old Fantasy players already having armies and AoS and 40K players not wanting to start dumping money/time into a whole new expensive game system. So from the get-go they will have a more difficult time selling models. If they price it well, it could do well I think as a lower price point could draw people in who otherwise would have purchased another faction in their currently preferred game system.
Personally I am going to wait a bit with buying models. Firstly as I want one of the other fractions, chaos warriors, orcs&goblins or possibly dwarfs, and secondly I hope to detect if some other people around my location starts playing Warhammer the old world. I am not as much concerned of the price of the starter boxes (I expect set to come for the other main fractions), but more if I will have opponents to play against or not.
i'd buy one of these boxes, but i have no interest in either faction. too bad! they could have had my money on day 1 - instead im considering just 3d printing an army to get into it right away
I can’t understand why people are getting upset. Bunch of whiny babies give me 10 books for my army. Why would you want less stuff for something you love?
Which box will you be grabbing or will you be waiting for another faction?

I would have loved for them to be doing boxes for everyone straight away - hopefully they have quick releases.

I'm only worried about the price.... I have a feeling the boxes will be way high!
That is a possibility - fingers crossed it is reasonable
93 Mini in Tomb Kings so yes pretty high price for sure

@@eskhaphey2873 thank you for that info - and local stores should have a discount so won’t be all too bad then.
@eskhaphey2873 I was thinking they'll be close to $300 which isn't a terrible deal considering everything that comes in it but still painful... lol
100-125£ will be my guess
Wouldn’t be the worst price considering the amount of models. Especially when flgs will give a discount on top of that.

Totally agree with every point. Price it well and the game takes off. Money is tighter for everyone at the moment and this needs be a consideration.

Nothing wrong with waiting - perhaps the most sensible option. Totally understand that you want a guaranteed community to play with
@@knightofthetabletop The thought of someone trying to play WtOW solo is a bit sad. An army from one fraction, no opponents, marching around...
Which one you going for Luke? Or maybe both!
Tempted by both - and getting custom transfers made for Bretonnia. But 100% will get Tomb Kings. Will you be hoping back in?
Possible I will go for bretts. Still got a ton of empire still to get through though lol
@@farleybear6599will have to catch up real soon mate been far too long
@@knightofthetabletop most deffo, that would be lush, it has been far too long!

What faction are you looking out for?
Orcs and Gobbos are my go-to, but thinking i may try High Elves or Chaos for something different@@knightofthetabletop

I want as much lore as possible so I’m personally happy with it.
Can't wait for this hype train to derail...what a waste of time and resources.
