I’m not concerned about his tabard,however I’m a little worried about his thyroid.

You got my attention
WHy?

I suspect that the tabard is a separate piece.

All modern monoposes have it molded to the legs belt/chest

I keep on forgetting all the weird things they can do with the 3D sculpts these days. That said, if it is part of the left leg it may be possible to remove it and cover the space with some greenstuff

Interesting news on the Old World front. It seems kislev will be a playable faction again.

[Lost Egg]

Nice concepts but it seems odd that the first unit they show isn't as grounded as I'm sure a lot of WFB fans would like.

[Cubs]

What worries me is that the insanely OTT Sigmar aesthetics seem to carrying forward into the Old World project, meaning it won't actually be anything like the Old World at all. Why do the weapons have to literally be made of ice? Ah well, it's not aimed at me I guess ...

[beefcake]

Yes I was a bit disappointed at that also.

Well COVID-19 finally reached GW as well. I got this mail an hour ago:

Hi Everyone,

Seems it’s finally time to stay at home and tackle that pile of sprue you’ve been stashing under the bed and finish that half-painted unit that’s been languishing on your desk.

The safety and wellbeing of all our customers and staff are paramount to everyone here at Games Workshop. In response to the developing global situation surrounding the spread of COVID-19, and following the advice and instruction from both the government here in the UK and throughout the world – we are closing Games Workshop sites around the globe.

This means that all our Warhammer and Games Workshop stores will be shut from the 24th March until an initial date of the 14th April. We’ll also be closing our factory and distribution centres – so our online stores (Games Workshop, Forge World and Black Library) won’t be selling or shipping any physical products during this period either. If you’ve recently placed an order and are waiting for it to arrive, please give us 48 hours to contact you. If you've still got questions after that, then please drop our Customer Service team a line via email, they’ll be valiantly working from home to ensure you’re supported over this period.

Now, more than ever, the wonderful spirit of friendship and cooperation that binds Warhammer hobbyists around the world is needed. With that in mind, the Warhammer Community and Warhammer TV teams are bunkered down in their hobby rooms at home ready to update warhammer-community.com with fun Warhammer news, articles and content each and every day.

And, of course, you’ll also still be able to keep yourself entertained with some cracking ebooks and audio dramas from Black Library’s digital offering.

Most importantly, everyone stay safe – be supportive to the people around you, and keep your mind and body happy and healthy. When this all blows over, we’ll get back to throwing dice together soon enough!

Sincerely,

Andy Smillie
Global Head of Warhammer Community Team

Read that too.

So I guess it will actually not be possible to get those limited models..

About Kislev, I'm happy to see the Old World again, but weapons made of ice...

[Ultravanillasmurf]

Understandable.

[pixelgeek]

That does seem troubling. I'm curious to see how they are going to rerelease their old miniatures as well. Or are they?

[3 fingers]

Did anyone else see those kislevs and remembered the medieval Russians fireforge done?

Agreed.
Looks like the same aesthetic will be used, so I am another losing interest in the 'Old' World.....

[Gibby]

Had a feeling they'd do that when it was announced. The overall art direction and sculpting style went in the World of Warcraft direction before they blew the Old World up. Personally, I say pick your favourite Old World incarnation and have fun with that - plenty of alternative figures out there that fit.
