Not yet available in the U.S. but it doesn't surprise me.

The insanity continues.

If you missed the disappointment last time...

And it is really not a great book, badly edited, so why bother?

And the link from FB to the webstore is 404'd and has been since it was posted.

Games Workshop will be releasing plastic scenic bases, decoration bits, containers, barrels and crates! Looking interesting except for the bolt gun turrets on the armored containers, really guns on containers? Pictures compiled here http://wargameterrain.blogspot.be/2016/05/games-workshop-upcoming-plastic.html?m=1

Guns on containers. I was thinking if they had some swing arm they could work for some q-ship or something, but no, they are permanent fixtures meaning you can't even stack them. I'm sure you can build them without the guns but man this is stupid. I mean there are plenty of weapon systems hidden in containers out there, entire missile launch installation in a container and all that, but bolting a pair of bolsters to the top.    Really feels like some horrible executive decision. Anything they produce must have at least 2 out of three of guns, skulls or spikes.

Too much good terrain available elsewhere. I did chuckle at the gothic arches...on the freight containers.

  I thought you were going to wait until the modders had gone to town on it.
Looking forward to the report though. I'm quite interested in it myself, just put Medieval 2 back on the computer and am playing through the Third Age (LOTR) mod. Should be fun.

Got mine through steam so its installed and ready to go. I will have a quick play tonight but wont have time for a proper go until the weekend.

Anyone seen Games Workshops poor attempt to cash in on the Games release?



I don't know why but it actually hit a nerve. They unnecessarily killed off the Old World to replace it solely with AoS, they then have all these big games out, only its set in the Old World, and its like they've suddenly thought: "Oh, we could have cashed in on that!" and temporarily brought back stuff they'd discontinued to get a few more sales in.

When the Total War Facebook page provided a link to the aforementioned page the comments were awash with disappointment.

Since the Total War: Warhammer franchise will remain in development for the next ten years, I have a glimmer of hope that GW will at least bring the Old World back in some form. Whether it be through a Specialist Games outlet or even just allow the Old World and AoS to exist in tandem.

Oddly...Medieval II was much better graphically then many sequels up until Shogun II.  Rome II was a god damned shame.  While I may pick this up, it won't be until a sale.  I haven't bothered with any Total War content after how bad Rome II was, and I may not even bother with this one.  The company went on a very stupid DLC path, paying for things like single units, graphical upgrades, etc.  Absolutely a garbage company policy.

Therefore they seem a great match for GW....

Preeeettty much.

No. And still haven't, thanks to broken image links.

From Warhammer players sore at the disappearance of the old world, or Total War players who thought 'those are weak'?
