Happy Boxing Day and Praise Settra! The Two Core Launch boxes for the Bretonnian and Tomb Kings editions have been revealed, each containing 1250 points of miniatures for Warhammer: The Old World!
As well as the launch boxes, there's also a separate hardback (and digital) rulebook available at launch, along with two army books - one for the 'Good' factions and one for the 'Evil' factions, much in the same way Liber Astartes and Liver Hereticus came out for the Horus heresy.
They also showed some new Tomb Kings minis, and hinted that the pre-order date is very close - I'm hearing 27th January but don't hold me to that :)
What do you think of the Launch Boxes and new Tomb Kings? Please let me know your thoughts in the comments and I'll look forward to responding to them.
You can find a link to the Bretonnian video, Dark Angels video, and The Old world article below:

Khemri player here. The new box includes in regards to troops only skeletons on foot and mounted versions. However a Khemri army is only working when using your elite choices wisely supported by lesser troops from the box. So everyone hoping to have great battles against the Brets using only the minis provided by both box sets will have a rude awakening.

​@@hobbywaffle The knights in the Bret box are one of the most hard-hitting units in the entire WHFB model range. I just feel pity for anybody relegated to play against them with only the Khemri box minis. The devs should have put some special units for Khemri there as well. Alas new Khemri players will feel cheated and probably abandon their army from the getgo damning this entire faction for a second time as it is very hard to play right.

@@hobbywaffle thank you! I think the old world is such a great game. It reminds me more of a backgammon board than AoS does, where you have to be a bit more careful how you position units, what spells you buy and units you deploy, and how you use your squares. I think it’s def a more strategic game than AoS and even 40k. Looking forward to more content! Thank you

Looks super as usual. I’m not nor do I want to be a Hobby “whale” mindlessly purchasing the next big thing. I want Legions Imperialis to succeed. I bought into it but it is not only untenable, it is irresponsible to just keep buying new systems that I will never have time to engage in or paint to the detriment of those that exist currently. These sales tactics have priced this game beyond my ability to keep up. Using the same methods as presented in Horus Heresy 2.0 is good for their short term profits but they won’t be able to maintain consistent support without a massive expansion of operations and hiring. I love 8th edition but will pass on this one. As they say “I will not be missed.” until everyone like me also closes their wallets. Good video as usual.

Thanks for the compliment, and I totally get where you are coming from. I dived into Horus Heresy 2.0 only to realise I couldn’t keep up with the amount of minis I’d have to paint and field to be able to have a decent sized game, so I abandoned a ‘legion force’ and now just pick and choose the odd nice thing to paint for the shelf, so I can concentrate on Legions Imperialis - i I feel like this is something I can cope with from a time and painting perspective, as KZfaq also takes up time I don’t have, plus I just love Epic. I really hope LI does well, and hopefully they will keep the support going for the game.

@hobbywaffle

Based on the Leviathan price, I’m guessing £150 rrp with a third party discount price of around £120. There’s a similar amount of minis (72 in Leviathan compared to 76 in the Bretonnia box) and the big rulebook is roughly the same size. Considering the vast amount of minis in both boxes are old kits, I can’t see them charging more than Leviathan - if anything it should be slightly cheaper but I doubt it.

I always like the Warhammer fantasy game as a kid but could never afford to do 40K and fantasy. And then it all disappeared and AOS just didn't do it for me. At least not until more recently when I have since picked up some Nighthaunts and the new Lizardmen look incredible. But whilst I am tempted by these boxes, I am VERY concerned about prices. We've just seen the Battle for Macragge box announcement where they are charging £90 for a boxset originally released for less than half of that (and without the rules.) And that pisses me off so much. Especially when the 40k starter box is £65 and gives you more/ better models. It is disgusting to see such a horrific price hike. I mean, even at current inflation costs, the Macragge set should be £69. Not £90 minus the rulebook. That's 125% rise and again, minus the rule book. So if the thieving b******s are willing to hike the price of macragge by 125%, what will they do for this? I mean 8 years ago, they deemed this entire game as defunct. They saw no worth in selling it anymore. And now they are bringing it back, they want to rerelease these old models they saw no worth in 8 years ago but are inevitably going to charge an 125% increase for them. I'm jumping a gun here. Maybe they will charge the original price. But I highly doubt it. And maybe not the same increase as Macragge, but I wouldn't be surprised. End of the day, I'd love to buy each of these boxes. I hold a lot of nostalgia to them, even though i never played the game when it was around. But this is an expensive hobby. I've already spread out to play 40k, MESBG, AOS, HH, Epic and Killteam. I do not want to start another game system unless it's worth it financially. And I do not see playing a defunct 8 year old game as worth it if they want to charge 2024 prices for 2015 and older models.

Yeah the Macragge price set was insulting, especially as it’s just the (old) minis and the terrain and doesn’t include the rules or other bits, and you don’t even get the same box, it’s just in a generic Direct only box! Not cool at all GW. I’d say you’ve chosen well with Nighthaunt and Lizardmen, they are both stunning ranges especially the Seraphon, and if the Legacy PDF’s are coming just after launch like they say, you could actually try the Old World with those free lists for Lizardmen and just the rulebook. I’m really hoping they will price the core boxes sensibly and not charge stupid amounts, I’m not going to pay silly money for old Tomb Kings, even with that Bone Dragon.

GW has a proven track record of ruining rulesets by ignoring the flaws of previous editions, adding underdeveloped new rules and neglecting proper playtesting. Horus Heresy is the perfect example of a game that has serious flaws and playability issues. I'm very worried this game will be over priced and unplayable.
