It's been 6 months since Old World release and I wanted to look back at it. Did it live up to expectations? Have releases been too slow? The price? Let's talk about everything today :)

Wanted to do something a little different! Should have released this on the 20th but had been a little busy!
Honestly were releases a little faster (where's my Chaos GW??) I'd be happier but overall Fantasy is back and I am happy. Long may it last :) got a REALLY fun video coming out hopefully end of August it's going to document my descent into madness but it'll be fun!

[tyranitararmaldo]

The release schedule feels PAINFUL in how slow it is. Not to mention how there have been almost no articles on it since release. It's like GW themselves have forgotten about it...again. Despite demand from players for product.

It does feel like they begrudgingly released this, and almost want it to fail again as an "I told you so" within head-office.

[BMBMiniatures]

It's like they don't want our money. I waited for months to buy the magic cards, and finally, I gave up, downloaded alternatives, and spent less on a laminator than on the original GW pack. That's one customer gone. It's crazy; no other industry would let customers walk away with their credit cards untouched like that.

[RyanF]

If GW want us to play this game, then they need to give us more. I am waiting for Chaos Warriors and High Elves.
I think it was cool that GW released Tomb Kings and Bretonia first.

[BittermanAndy]

Release schedule is painfully slow. And we're going through the usual thing where a game comes out apparently intended to appeal to grognards and the GW shills say, "it's a new core game, equal to 40K and AoS!!!!", then six months later GW have forgotten about it and the GW shills say, "it was only ever a secondary game, of course it's not getting the same attention as 40K and AoS!!!!". Seen it all before, so many times.

[CarolusRedivivus]

As a person heading into his forties with family commitments who plays maybe 5-6 games a year Ive realized that GW specialist games are my happy place. No longer do I have to spend two days relearning how to play an army each time because of constant tournament centric points and rules updates. No longer will a codex be out of date in 6 months.

I've come back to the place I began my Warhammer journey at, 25 years ago.

[Le-cptr]

Settra was technically dead at this time (killed by a Norscan raid). He’s going on his revenge tour. Graham McNeil forgetting this bugs me

[TheFawz]

One thing that's been terrible about the release is communication. I wish they could come out clearly and say what their plans are, how things will play out, what they're keeping an eye out for to make potential changes, when to expect news and how happy they are with the release (or not).

[dairewoods]

I'm loving old world. Coming from 40k it's taken over as my main game. My local game club is currently doing a campaign that I'm taking my bretonnians to

[christopherkruse]

It might not seem like a big deal to some..but, lizardmen not having drilled for warriors and guard just kills it for me.

[namewastaken]

Speaking of -legacy- renegade factions, the Skaventide Clanrats would look good all ranked up!

[Nightstalker]

It has been 10 years, sadly Nathan, 😅. 2014, the Warhammer Fantasy World died, and Age of Sigmar's bastard 1st edition was there.

I like both settings but 10 years....

[LordEsel]

Butchering the lore, or having lack-luster writers, may not be a disaster but it has deflated my enthusiasm. On the other hand, I'm not trying to focus on those negative parts. I'm happily making additions to my old Tomb Kings army as we speak. I still have my old books as well. Now back to building Tomb Guards. :)

[gandalfthegreen]

My experience has been mixed but overall good. The Long and short of it is I bought an Ebay greenskin rescue horde, back in early october. Between now and then I've been trying to get my 40k army table top ready, but have been taking breaks to work on some Old World. I currently have a few hundred points in night goblins ready, and putting my full attention into my horde. My biggest issue has been finding a local community and getting things while they are in stock I didnt get a chance to pick up the Ravenous Hordes book until last month, just because its been sold out at all my local game stores. Not to mention how hard it has been to order and find stuff on the GW website, they fact it seems they only took orders for the stone troll recast for a week seems insane.

[slaaneshshewhothirst]

My problem with this is that GW removed most of the High Elf/Wood Elf/Empire/Warriors of Chaos minis from the store (which most were still buyable until the cities of Sigmar got their big stuff last year)… When they could have just switched to the old world factions so we could play them even if they planned to give them new minis later down the line.

Forgot the dwarfs stuff but now it’s back.

Also, regarding availabilities and release, I get what they tried to do but that also just make the problem even worse. Where since people wait a long time, they will jump on the offer as soon as they can, which lead to more out of order stuff

[Monkey_cracy]

I don't get why you can't use the aos minis in the old world

[craighope]

Awesome release dont mind it being released a bit slower as ive currently just started making a gaming board which will hopefully resemble the old world map and then try and place all armies geographically correct

[yzdkwbe]

I think it all stems from the fact that GW did not expect it to be such a big hit.
Given the AOS 4th, it was inevitable that we could not focus on OW. We will take our time and enjoy it, even if the release rate is slow.

[Darwingreen]

my big nag are that there's only really two demographics that have access to this game. Those that still have warhammer fantasy armies, and those that are willing to use alternative miniatures(like say 3d printing).

[greendalf]

I got some of the new Orcs but honestly I want to wait for all the factions to drop before I really commit. I want at least two 2000 point armies, so when friends visit we can play games.
