GW Showcase More Plastic Bitz For Warhammer: The Old World
March 14, 2023 by brennon
Games Workshop has been showing off some more of the bitz that you'll be able to tinker with when Warhammer: The Old World hits the tabletop. The most recent preview is for a series of weapons and accessories for the Bretonnians and Khemri as part of new plastic kits!

Yes, you heard me right. New plastic kits. Updated kits are going to be on the way for at least the forces of Bretonnia and Khemri and feature lots of familiar elements as well as a few new bits and pieces as well. For example, you've got plenty of different helmet designs to match the various knightly houses that have been called to battle.
As well as helmets and shields, you'll also find a series of different weapons including plenty of different sword designs.

You can also bring a hefty cavalry axe with you for when you want to properly cut someone's head off whilst on the charge! It looks like you're going to be getting a bunch of options when it comes to customising your Knights Of The Realm.
Khemri Weapons & Accessories
Khemri are also getting themselves some fun bits and pieces. Various Egyptian-inspired blades are on the way including curved khopesh and spears as well as that deadly-looking flail.

You'll also notice some rather impressive elements that can be used for champions and standard bearers that you might find amongst your armies. Plenty of scarabs and scorpions are also in the mix here, quite fitting for the forces of Khemri.
These are still early previews for Warhammer: The Old World but I do like what they have been showing off! It's also very good to hear that we're getting plastic kits.
It will be interesting to see how diverse the range actually gets from Games Workshop. I have a sense that it might be like The Horus Heresy. The core range will be in plastic but will be supported by resin miniatures from Forge World representing heroes and the like. We shall see!
What do you think?

Given Bretonnians were my first complete army for WHFB back in the day, I am all in for new plastics. Of course, it does mean I’m going to have to double dip so I can also Quest for The Grail in The Mortal Realms….
Needz moar O’kz
Distinct lack of Orkage 🙁
Sigh… my wallet…
Agreed 😂
Odd choice for a teaser – unless they really are planning on making the basic set Brets v. Tomb Kings, which would make no sense given the alleged time frame background…..
Wondered if this would be the box set, or that stuffs already complete and we’re looking at stuff further down the timeline here?
I think they might actually go with a Bretonnians VS Khemri boxed set
Now that would be good although the poor old wallet may not agree.
@brennon Any idea when the Warhammer Old Worlde stuff will actually be released. Teasers are great, but this has been going on for a couple of years now? It will be interesting to see how the new Bretonnian releases affect those scalpers on various well known auction sites… 😉
I would guess that we’re going to be seeing something in early 2024. I would bet that we’ll get some larger reveal at Warhammer Fest this year and then they’ll start prepping people for The Old World in 2024.
I think 2023 (or the tail end of it) will be focused on Warhammer 40K 10th.
Ah the hype train has been started by a few heads and swords.
Nice to see that Bretonnians and Tomb Kings will be getting some love when the Old World returns.
I’ll be interested when they actually show the full models and the generic troops at that. My biggest worry (other than the huge cost and questionable rules) is that we’ll see a huge amount of overly fancy cape flowing “generic gw” poses that are more display pieces than rank and file mass battle game miniatures.
