Warhammer: The Old World’s Fate Hangs In The Balance – Will It Appease The Fans? #OTTWeekender
October 20, 2023 by avernos
It's OTTWeekender Time! We discuss the news from Games Workshop for Warhammer: The Old World. The fate of this game hangs in the balance and will it be enough to appease the fans, both new and old? Are people simply going to be returning to this game out of nostalgia?
With a look at some impressive new Bretonnian miniatures that are going to be released in the early portion of 2024, could this be a return to the good old days or has the time of Warhammer Fantasy Battles now passed. Should we all just be moving on to other wargames rather than dwelling on the past?

Yay happy Friday weekenders Otters an COGz.
should that not be brain matter beige for the colour guys.
Happy weekend, it’s good to see the Brettonians being the focus of the return to the old world. They were my army in 3rd and 4th edition. All though I had the Perry Brettonians.
I have to say I really dislike the helmets of the Brettonians. Yes historical Helmet’s had head pieces, but from my knowledge these were only used in tournaments, when they were showing off, they were totally impractical in battle. So whilst I understand this is fantasy I would cut all this frills off if I was to ever get these.
I liked the Old World, but it’s taking GW so long to release it…
Bam to the max
fab terrain coming out.
It would definitely be fun painting up those alien plants, I’d break out the alcohol inks for those
Lol.

fab show guy’s.
Love that new terrain, if only there was some sort of contest to use it for…. 🤔 😁
Great show again this week. Was this the “Gerry´s terrain show” ? All the trees and space world terrain looks interesting through with some small magnets.
Is the overgrown world come later ? The craters could also be used as pits of something, depending on how you paint them.
the overgrown world is coming at the same time as the others, it’s why I have a set already from the KSer. It just happened that mantic sent us the other 3 sets as the prize. So they’re all on the pre-order right now
Like most of GWs releases I’ll get all excited and caught up in the hype, but then something will smack some sense into me, usually the price.
Some great looking terrain.
Without a doubt I will be buying Bretonnians! There will be an element of falling for FOMO but it was one of those early Warhammer Battle armies that you build up from the initial game box full of knights and as you start to save up for the more expensive specialist units like grail knights and questing knights, they get pulled. This has meant for years I’ve had to really resist the FOMO via eBay where these OOP minis can only be found at incredibly inflated prices (I have succumbed on occasion!). I expect the new releases will be more… Read more »
Absolutely agree. I too have been tempted by OOP ebay shenanigans.
Build us another (alien) shrubbery! This time with a little path down the middle
and one should be a little higher than the other so you get a nice two level effect!
Fantastic weekender as usual!
My intro to WHFB was with the 5th edition box featuring Bretonnians and Lizardmen.
Come back with Bretonnians is just awesome!
Happy weekend and Happy Weekender to all
SF terrain outstanding. Weekender gives away so much nice stuff!
And they did not mention MoonStone (award winning).
I was thinking about it under the table while the others were talking about 40K
Anything that makes getting terrain on the table easier sounds good to me.
That Mantic sci fi terrain crate is great! Thats why I backed it on the KS. And it just arrived Monday.
belated happy weekender…..obviously very excited for the upcoming Warp minis Kickstarter
The Bretons look great, but have no intention of getting into this. Now if GW had done this on 12mm….
Good showcase of the new Mantic terrain crate Gerry.
Those neoprene area terrain templates look really nice too.
an so handy, I made may own area terrain, like most people, out of 5mm MDF and it is great but jaysus it’s heavy if you want to being a forest table it’s a slab of wood you have to shift
