This looks more to be about the rumoured Warhammer Celebrations book than about anything AoS related.

Black orcs are the reason I wasn't too bothered by the round bases rumour.

[Mr Mystery]

No one is allowed to moan about ranking up models until they have tried to rank up Black Orcs.

Original multipart Chaos Warriors, circa 96/97.

I look upon thy Black Orcs with a wistful desire things had been that easy,

Hmm... They're being a little too over-dramatic trying to build up Age of Sigmar. It's an insult to Warhammer's legacy to claim that 30 years of a game are just a "preface" to some new game. But it's also odd for them to say that the battles of the End Times, which were meant to be the most massive battles in the history of the Warhammer world, were just "skirmishes" compared to what's coming in the Age of Sigmar.

Gameplay-wise, that makes no sense. You'd either need even more massive armies than you already need (so that wrecks the idea of trying to tone down the model count), or would have to be a completely different style of game played at a different scale, and so wouldn't be anything like Warhammer as a game.

Background-wise, it might work, but that's still rather odd, given that every race would have to be rebuilt, to more numbers than they had before, because pretty much everyone who could ended up fighting in End Times.

so very true. chaos warriors have never fitted even a little bit.

Really, Fantasy could have done with 32mm bases years ago and 40k still managed to get them first...

You're a preface!

[Erik Setzer]

You're a preface!

My friend and I love throwing that out randomly. Usually I choose less appropriate things, like you did there. :P

[Cap'nSmurfs]

Thanks as ever, Captain Citadel, who must - must! - be ranked now among the likes of Hastings and Harry as a cast-iron rumourmonger. And he posts evidence! So, you know, cheers!

Love that the frontpage is running this as "Age of Sigmar details and pics!" when it contains neither of those, though. Click click!
