I’m genuinely excited to play a mass ranks game in the Old World. As a WHFB player who kept all my old armies and rulebooks three years will be a long wait.

To not go round bases in custom movement trays would be stupid as it is the mechanism that allows most cross functionality of minis within gaming products.

I am also predicting the ‘9th edition’ ruleset will be massively pared down to simplify gameplay. Due to the nature of the character driven narrative in the old world ‘hero hammer’ style power creep in hero models is inevitable but please god let them keep a grip on magic in this edition.

I’ve never liked AoS because as many have said if I get more than a 1000 points on the table I can’t track all the rules interactions and end up having a long and slow game experience with a lot of book flipping.

I’ll continue to use my old armies in both KoW and 8th Ed WHFB because why wouldn’t I? In 3 years I may even be able to retire my 8th rulesets to ebay and the completionist collectors out there.

At nearly 50 years old I’ve seen so many games come, go, die, be reborn, change companies etc, I no longer get agitated about it. Capitalism is reality and we all need to pay the bills. These influences are never gonna go away.
