I’ve been occupied with finishing up a large scenery commission for the past few months, so I haven’t had much time to work on any personal projects (or even update my blog). But I'm back now!

Sadly, GW passed the Olde World off to Forge World, and then began shutting that department down. I suspect we may not get much more. Very upset at those decisions, and the dropping of many armies from development too. I think 8th Ed is going to be the highpoint of WHFB.
ReplyDeleteThe Old World wasn't "passed off" to Forgeworld, it was always a Specialist Games (Forgeworld) project. I'm curious where you heard that they are shutting down the Specialist Games department.
DeleteI skipped trying to buy any new Old World stuff, but managed to get hold of the rules and have played a couple of games. I can recommend it, it's a nice tight edition of the rules. Similar enough to 8th ed to be familiar, but some good nips and tucks that improve it over that system! Hope you get a game in sometime.
ReplyDeleteEverything I've seen so far looks promising. I plan to grab a rule book as soon as they are available.
DeleteI'm now seeing Old World as one of the five big options in the shop (40K, AoS, Heresy, Old World and Middle Earth), and they've just announced the second set of releases for the Bretonnians and Tomb Kings.
ReplyDeleteTongue in cheek: This is full on Middlehammer release schedule / speed, and is the most authentic Warhammer Fantasy experience.
I found the listing for TOW on the GW site. It's *not* on the front page when you scroll down to the space marine and can cycle through the games with the left and right arrows. You need to click the bars at the top, then click "Shop" and then it's listed with the other games. My god, the new site is terrible. :/
