@orinoco I believe this is the case.  GW don’t want people re-using miniatures between The Old World and Age of Sigmar, therefore any army which has a lot of miniatures still in use for Age of Sigmar will not be included in The Old World.  If The Old world goes on to be a success, I would be surprised if we didn’t see Chaos Demons, Skaven and Vampire Counts at some point – especially the first two as these were a fundamental part of the fabric of the Warhammer Fantasy story.

I know that it potentially hurts players of Dark Elves and Lizardmen personally, I quite like the cut down focus of the game, looking only at the Old World rather than trying to expand the view to include the New World.  I have mixed views on the likes of Cathay, on the one hand I would love to see what they do with them but on the other, much like the Lizardmen, it starts to get a bit harder to explain how/why the armies of Cathay might ever have made contact with the Empire and Bretonnia in such a way that they were fighting in each others’ territory.  There hasn’t really been anything in the lore to date that would adequately explain how that could happen and why it would.
