That second piece looks very familiar; might be from an older edition.

But they do all convey the Old World vibe, including the rather wooden first piece. Having to include two full armies in one overview shot makes it awefully 'posey' in my opinion. But that has always been part of the charm of the box-art since the first one came out (WHFB 4th?) :)

They're *all* old pieces from previous editions.

That's actually something I noticed too.

Getting a new army  book was always a bit of a disappointment with 90% of its art content being recycled art rather than something new.

It would be cool to finally see fully realized armies for Cathay and/or Araby. But I won't be holding my breath... ::)
Haha, me neither. If we get them, I think they'll be a lot like guilds in Necromunda: a unit or two that can ally with various main factions. There was very similar intriguing-but-vague talk about how eventually the setting would be fleshed out as never before when Necromunda was redone.

You know, it's not completely unreasonable that they'd follow that playbook when it comes to new factions in TOW (or to reintroducing older factions, for that matter).

I think it was originally a boxart for the Chaos Warriors set
