 What is Warhammer: The Old World? This game is a continuation/resurrection of Warhammer Fantasy Battles, Games Workshop’s original tabletop wargame. Put simply, it’s a rank-and-flank game set in a high fantasy setting. It’s not as relentlessly grimdark as Warhammer 40,000 and has more of a sense of humor about things. Normal humans take center stage instead of genetically-modified super soldiers. More specifically, this game is set in the year 2276 in the prelude to the Great War Against Chaos and the ascension of Magnus the Pious as Emperor – about 250 years before the End Times. If you don’t know what that means, don’t worry about it too much. The key things are that the human Empire is divided and a huge chaos invasion is coming in the near future. In the meantime, we have the Tomb Kings attacking Bretonnia. Wait, what is Warhammer? Warhammer is kind of the blanket name for the games produced by Games Workshop, one of the biggest names in tabletop wargaming. It comes in both fantasy and sci-fi flavors with many offshoots. The core is always similar though and the main games focus on the clash of armies and powerful characters. Maneuver your units around a battlefield, roll a bunch of dice, and try to outplay your opponent!  Why should I play this game? If you’re a returning grog, you know exactly why you should play this game. For the rest of you:
How does this game play? Warhammer: The Old World uses an I-go-you-go system similar to 40k or AoS. One player gets to activate their units and then their opponent does the same. There are no alternating activations here, but there are still ways to respond to your opponent’s actions. The basic turn sequence is as follows: 1. The Strategy Phase The active player may cast Enchantment or Hex spells and can make use of certain special rules that trigger in this phase, such as warrior-priest prayers. Then they may attempt to rally any fleeing units. 2. The Movement Phase This phase begins with the declaration of charges and charge reactions, then the movement of any charging units. Next comes any compulsory movement. Finally, all remaining movement is done and wizards can cast any Conveyance spells they have available. 3. The Shooting Phase The active player can fire any missile weapons, war machines, or cast any Magic Missile or Magical Vortex spells. Pretty simple. 4. The Combat Phase Units fight in hand-to-hand combat, taking turns to strike in initiative order. Wizards can also cast Assailment spells. Units that have lost combat will need to take leadership tests and may be driven back, fall back in good order, or break and flee. The winning unit(s) can opt to follow up or pursue with heavy consequences for fleeing units. You probably noticed that spells are split into different phases instead of having their own separate phase. This is a big change for returning Warhammer Fantasy players, but this should be smoother in some regards. Casting and dispelling have also been simplified and the old minigame of wagering dice is gone. Spells have casting values that you must beat by rolling 2d6 plus your wizard's level. For example, a level 2 wizard casting a fireball would require an 8+ and would roll 2d6+2. The opponent would then have the option to attempt to dispel it using a similar roll. I want to note here that miscasts (double 1s) are now possible on dispel rolls as well as casting. This is a big change for returning players and might mean that it's not always worth attempting a dispel. A quick summary of spell types is included below:  Movement is more complex than 40k or AoS. Units are generally ranked up in blocks and maintain those formations as best they can. You are not moving single models and this means that maneuvering can be complicated. While units can simply turn on the spot, this tends to eat up a lot of movement. Instead, units can wheel as they move forwards – minor adjustments to a unit’s facing. Getting the hang of this is critical and an example graphic is included below. On the plus side, moving a unit tends to be quicker as you are not picking and moving every single model. Assuming you have movement trays. Please get movement trays. There are plenty of third party options available if you don’t like the ones offered by Games Workshop. I'll try to include some links in the future as more options become available.  Leadership really matters in this game. Your general can lead from the front, inspiring your troops with their presence. Standards wave at the front of every infantry block or cavalry unit. These aren’t just thematic, they have real tangible benefits here. Combat is decided not just on damage output. Well ordered ranks can play a large part in winning.  As a good example, losing combat has three different possible results.
 In addition to these leadership mechanics there is a whole slew of various special rules and psychological effects such as Fear, Terror, Stubborn, Stupidity, Frenzy, etc., etc. Expect a lot of Universal Special Rules (USRs). Many units will also have rules unique to them and these will be detailed in their unit entries. All that's well and good, but how do you actually win? Victory points in GW's other games tend to be objective-based with bonuses for destroying your opponent's units. The Old World looks like it'll be the inverse of that. Most of your victory points will come from killing or routing your opponent's units with bonus points gained from the scenario's particulars. I'm not saying ignore the scenario here, those bonus points can easily be the deciding factor. Additionally, killing your opponent's general and stealing their banners are worth extra points. You need at least a margin of 100 points to claim victory, otherwise it's a tie. How do I get started? Currently, there are two starter boxes announced – one for Bretonnia and one for Tomb Kings. Both of these come with a large number of models as well as a full size copy of the rulebook, templates, and even red whippy sticks. You will also need either the Forces of Fantasy or Ravening Hordes books. I’ll get to those in a minute. If you’re not playing one of those factions, your best bet is to hold off a bit. It seems inevitable that there will be additional launch boxes for the Empire, Orcs and Goblins, Wood Elves, etc. For now, nab a rulebook and your relevant army book. Keep an eye on ebay or local stores with old stock. Your time will come, be patient.  Who are the Forces of Fantasy?
  Who are the Ravening Hordes?
 Are there any other factions available? Weren’t there more in old Warhammer? Yes, there were more factions and some notable ones are missing from the Old World. However, all of them will be supported with pdf rules. This is partly due to the narrative scope of the setting and likely majorly due to Games Workshop’s desire to keep the production scope reigned in until they’re certain the game is successful. These rules are primarily meant for people with existing armies as they won’t be getting any attention for a while. That said, most of these factions are still supported by the AoS range so it shouldn’t be too difficult to figure things out.
How do I build an army? Warhammer: The Old World doesn’t use a force organization chart nor does it follow 40k’s or AoS’s examples. Instead, we’re using percentages!
 If you're familiar with other GW games, you've probably noticed that there are a fair number of restrictions here. You're forced to take a unit of Knights of the Realm and a unit of peasants before anything else. There are a number of 0-1 or 0-1 per 1000 points options as well. This is done for narrative reasons as well as to avoid weird skew lists at lower points. A typical game will be about 2000 points, but there is no reason not to play smaller or larger games as you like. The percentage system will scale as needed. Just be mindful that 3000+ points can make for a pretty long game and you'll want a larger board to accommodate everything. Also worth noting is that every core faction will be receiving alternate lists in the form of Armies of Infamy. These will be slight tweaks that focus on specific units or themes. For example, the Nehekharan Royal Host is all about chariots while the Bretonnian Exiles open up new, possibly dishonorable options to Bretonnian players. Hang on, why do these models look old? Games Workshop is using the old Warhammer Fantasy range to launch the Old World. Some models, such as the Bretonnian Knights of the Realm, date as far back as 5th edition. Don't look up when that came out. There’s no sugar coating this, some of the models are old, but they hold up fairly well. Some of them are even charming in their own way. Cynically, this helps reduce Games Workshop’s costs, but it also means they can get the factions out quicker. If this is successful they can slowly revamp old kits in the years to come. Are those pewter models??? Yes, some kits are returning in pewter and even as pewter/plastic hybrids. For nostalgic hams it’s a return to the old days. For newer players used to only plastic this might be a nuisance. It will generally be reserved for special and rare units and will be used for units with low model counts. Most of the ranges have enough plastic options that you can avoid pewter entirely if you’d like. This might lock you out of certain units, but this problem can be solved with a little thought or creativity. A unique paintjob or conversion might be enough. Some of the larger metal kits will be redone in Forge World resin rather than in pewter. One example is the Bretonnian trebuchet. Resin can be kind of a bugbear for some folks, especially after the Finecast debacle, but it's a good material. A little more difficult to work with than plastic, but still easier than metal. I have an old army from 20 years ago, can I still use it? Yes! All of your old models are still valid with only a few exceptions like named characters. Yes, the base sizes are changing, but there’s no reason you can’t give the game a spin with your old army and then decide if you want to go to the trouble of rebasing. It won’t matter for friendly games and will likely only be enforced at tournaments and other more official events. Basically, don’t worry about it and try things out.

It covers most things though the individual army lists have more specific/thematic options available. Normally, a character can take only one item of each type and only one of each specific item can be included in a particular army. For example, a lord takes a Dawnstone and is then unable to take a Talisman of Protection on top of it. Additionally, no one else in the army can take a Dawnstone. This edition has a new category,: Extremely Common Magic Items. These are marked with an asterisk (*). Contrary to the usual rules these can be taken alongside items from the same category and can be taken multiple times in the same army. They can even be taken multiple times by the same model. For example, a wizard could take a Wand of Jet and two Dispel Scrolls. All three are Arcane Items, but the scrolls are common. Magic Weapons Ogre Blade - 65 points S+2 AP-2 Armor Bane (1), Magical Attacks, Multiple Wounds (D3) Sword of Battle - 60 points S+1 AP-1 Armor Bane (1), Extra Attacks (+1), Magical Attacks Duellist's Blades - 55 points S AP-1 Extra Attacks (+2), Magical Attacks, Requires Two Hands Dragon Slaying Sword - 50 points S AP- Magical Attacks, Monster Slayer Headsman's Axe - 45 points S+1 AP-1 Killing Blow, Magical Attacks, Requires Two Hands Spelleater Axe - 35 points S AP-1 Magical Attacks, Magic Resistance (-2) Giant Blade - 30 points S+1 AP- Armor Bane (2), Magical Attacks, Multiple Wounds (2) Sword of Swiftness - 25 points S AP- Magical Attacks, Strike First Berserker Blade - 20 points S+1 AP- Frenzy, Magical Attacks Sword of Might* - 20 points S+1 AP-1 Magical Attacks Biting Blade - 15 points S AP-2 Armor Bane (1), Magical Attacks Sword of Striking* - 15 points S AP- Magical Attacks and the wielder gains +1 to hit in combat Burning Blade* - 5 points S AP- Flaming Attacks, Magical Attacks Magic Armor Armor of Destiny - 70 points Heavy armor with a 4+ ward save Bedazzling Helm - 60 points Can be combined with other armor.

The spell is cast as normal. Once the spell has been resolved, the casting player must roll equal to or lower than the casting wizard's level on a single d6. If they fail, the wizard turns into a frog. While transmogrified, the wizard cannot cast or dispel any spells, cannot use any of their equipment, and reduces all of their characteristics (excluding wounds) to 1. During each Start of Turn sub-phase, a player may roll a D6 for each transmogrified wizard in their army. On a roll of a 4+, the wizard returns to normal. Wand of Jet - 45 points The bearer may apply a +1 modifier to any of their casting or dispel rolls. However, if they roll any natural double when making a casting or dispel roll the wand is destroyed and cannot be used again.

Instead, they may choose which spells they know from their chosen lore, including that lore's signature spell. Power Scroll* - 20 points Single use.

However, if a double 1 is rolled on any two of the dice rolled, the spell is miscast. Dispel Scroll* - 20 points Single use. The bearer may use the scroll when attempting a Wizardly Dispel. If they do so, roll an extra D6 when making the dispel roll and discard the lowest result. However, if a double 1 is rolled on any two of the dice rolled, the wizard is outclassed in the art. Arcane familiar - 15 points The owner of this familiar knows spells from two lores of magic rather than one. When determining the spells the wizard knows you must roll for each lore separate, re-rolling duplicates as normal. The wizard may discard one randomly generate spell as normal, replacing it with the signature spell of the same lore of magic. Earthing Rod - 5 points Single use. Should they miscast a spell, a wizard can use the earthing rod to re-roll the result rolled on the miscast table. Safety Factor fucked around with this message at 16:42 on Jan 22, 2024 |

Nice write up! I want this game to succeed really bad but I won't be able to play unless the restricted lists are at least viable. I hope the influencer YouTube accounts ignore the nonsense about unsupported armies and play stuff with everything so that they maintain a little presence. The theme is going to get a little state if it's just Good Guys versus Chaos Warriors with Tomb Kings and Orcs and Goblins to shake that up.

Guerilla Miniatures Gaming has all of the army lists up as well. I strongly suggest muting the video and scrolling around to the sections you want to see.

I've checked some lists and it's funny to me that detachment is now a universal special rule instead of the Empire's own thing, they literally have no unique army rule afaik, the most vanilla faction. On the other hand, demigryph knights now count as a special unit instead of singular with no other restrictions, I love them.

Well I'm in the queue for US orders, it says I have a 40 minute wait but it was 51 minutes about four minutes ago which I am going to guess means a lot of people are finding some stuff is already sold out. I just want the core book and the tomb kings supplement so I'm optimistic books might have more stock than the big model sets. Gambrinus posted:Do mummies still exist? Wouldn't mind having some of them as well. They weren't in print in 8th and so I would say not, but I use my mummies as unit champions and I think that's a good way to extend the size of your purchased units a bit. Or use them as characters, a mummy would make a fine liche priest or tomb prince. Leperflesh fucked around with this message at 19:37 on Jan 6, 2024 |

Yeah I got mine because I bought someone else's TK army back at the beginning of 8th and he had a half dozen of them. I did paint them up anyway, they're just generic looking mummy models so not particularly special, but if you have some already you can make use. Actually there's a lot of third-party "egyptian undead" stuff that can be proxied reasonably into a tomb kings army. In particular if you don't want to shell out big bucks for the box set just to get the centerpiece dragon thing, all of the other stuff is just skeletons with bows, skeletons with spears, skeletons on horses with bows or spears, and chariots, and you can get decent to excellent proxies for all of that from third parties.

Safety Factor posted:Yeah, I kinda got the same feeling at first, but after looking through the other lists it looks like only the high elves get detachments and it's only on their basic militia units. The Empire are still the primary faction to use them and they seem to have wide access to the Drilled special rule that lets units redress the ranks for free before moving. There's definitely something there and I'm very interested to see how they do in a battle report or three. They’re in a tabletop tactics one right now, though I didn’t notice them doing anything fancy like that.

Here's six of them, with my very bad paint job from 2013, for a closeup look. While my painting isn't great, I didn't fill detail - this is how much detail the metal models had.    mostly OK but the skull faces are sort of molten. And you can see the sculptures are using different heads and weapons on the same three bodies.

Anyone noticed what the 'Impetious' special rule on Orcs and goblins do? I assume it's the animosity rule replacement.

Nice, I was thinking of making a chaos army since they're the only "evil" faction and I'm looking for a faction I can play with until the empire or dwarves return. I also have a bunch of unpainted kairic acolytes, I wonder if I could fit them on 25 mm bases and run them as tzeentch marked marauders.

OK I got in on the US store and the main rulebook is out of stock. Ravening Hordes is still available to preorder but I'm not preordering it without the rulebook so welp. Also a box of three Ushabti is $85, lmao

Am I missing where to find the old army rules or am I misthinking that they were going to give us rules for forces other than Brets/Skeles via pdf?
