I jusr viewed Plasmo's excellent build of a Landraider kit. He usually does the more 'serious' model kits, but occasionally strays into scifi.

He has lighted up the model and because he decided on a Custodes paintscheme, he went with 24 karat gold leaf!  :o

Here's the kicker though; goldplating a Landraider turns out to actually be cheaper than buying GW gold spray paint! lol lol

Here's the vid:

GW have shared a wee bit more on Warhammer Old World...

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2023/04/14/old-world-development-diary-on-bases-and-the-barons-of-bretonnia/

Bretonnians are back, they look like the previous minis to me so nothing new. They also talk a bit about base sizes. Can't really say I'm surprised they are making the bases bigger...ranking up minis was a pain.

I was happy to see them in lance formation, along with the mention of foot knights. The base thing kinda annoys me but is irritating rather than a burn the place to the ground problem. Just waiting to see what the rules turn out like, that'll be what decides if I jump in or just keep doing what I'm already doing and buy any figures I can use.

I was happy to see this line at the bottom

All models in the Warhammer: The Old World range – including returning models – will be supplied with the correctly sized bases
So perhaps not entirely new minis across the board. Hopefully they will keep a bunch of the old ones.

I can definitely see the Orc boar riders coming back as they weren't that old. Some kits definitely need re-doing as they were quite clunky.

Provided the rules are ok, this means rebasing pretty much my entire Nightgoblin army, as they're on 20mm bases. Or more to the point; their movement trays. Because I will NOT be rebasing a couple of hundred of the little blighters lol

On the other hand; my Warriors of Chaos army will be completely OK, as they're based on 25mm already.

It looks as if they'll be dusting off some of the old moulds for most of the armies; they'll just be provided with different bases. And most of them are pretty much OK as they are I reckon, bar some exceptions of course.

I never was a fan of Lizardmen, but with those new Croxigor getting more of a crocodile look, I find I'm finally warming to the idea (like a lizard in the sun I suppose ;) ).

I inferred from the article that 25mm based chaos warriors orcs etc will be getting bigger bases too.

Here were the words, you may be in luck

So now, all 20mm bases have been replaced with 25mm bases. Most (but not all) 25mm and 25×50 bases have been replaced with new-sized bases.
Wasn't really an inference now I read it again, lol.

Given the scale-creep of GW models, it would be nearly impossible for any of them to fit on a 20mm base, let alone a 25mm square base.  I'd imagine you'll be able to field old armies against eachother without issue - but mixing old and new is going to be 'an issue' depending on the players.

I would not be surprised at all to see something like 30-32mm squares for stuff like Chaos Warriors (which will be a head taller than older minis, etc.).

Interesting they're using those old plastic Brettonian infantry in the pics. I assume that means they might be rereleased? Those were pretty small at the time - smaller than the Empire flagellants for example - so I wonder how that is going to work  lol

On that note, apropos of nothing really... that flagellant kit is such a wonderful thing, isn't it?

I think so as they specifically say that army was painted up for the new edition. I wouldn't be surprised if they got at least one new character though.

Yeah, they really seem to be showing off a lot of Bretonian stuff. I guess due to them destroyng the faction for AOS.

Brets always were a staple of WHFB and a bit of a fan favourite, so it makes sense for them to shine front and center I guess...
