I think the reason they haven’t gone further back in time is that the look and feel of The Old World itself would be different.  The Empire probably wouldn’t look the same as they do in the old WFB setting, they would probably look a bit more like Bretonnia.  The Empire are basically the poster boys for Warhammer so the new game needs to maintain that look and feel.  Also, I suspect very strongly that the new game will be reusing many of the old Warhammer fantasy kits – certainly the artwork teased so far looks like new artwork depicting 8th edition miniatures (Tomb Kings, Bretonnia etc).  I am sure that there will be new models aplenty (they’re introducing at least two new armies) but I am also expecting to see a lot of the old Warhammer models repackaged and re-released as well.
