We return to The Old World, at long last. The World That Was returns after years of buildup and hype. Take a look at these prices.

It’s a happy new year indeed indeed with The Old World launch releases, featuring the fearsome Tomb Kings and Bretonnia.  Here are the latest releases.

GW says all of these kits go up for preorder on January 6, and have a street date of January 20.

 

The Old World Starter Core Set – Bretonnia Edition $255 €205 £155

 “The chivalrous knights of Bretonnia and their peasant followers march to battle in this set, with 76 plastic Citadel miniatures – 75 of them returning classics, with a brand new Lord of Bretonnia on Royal Pegasus leading them – joined by the core rulebook, a reference sheet, dice, templates, measuring sticks ,and a transfer sheet.”

The Old World Starter Core Set – Tomb Kings Edition $290 €235 £175

 “If your tastes run more towards the desert sands and endless ranks of skeletal warriors, check out the Tomb Kings of Khemri boxed set, which contains the same game aids (minus the transfers), alongside 93 plastic Citadel miniatures, two of which are new – a Tomb Prince, and a Liche Priest riding a huge Necrolith Bone Dragon.”

The Old World Rulebook  $70 €55 £42.50

The Old World Ravening Hordes  $50 €40 £30

The Old World Forces of Fantasy  $50 €40 £30

 “This trio of hardback tomes are the ideal way to bring your armies back to battlefields of the Old World.

The rulebook’s 352 pages are packed with lore about the World of Legend, and all the rules for the game, from manoeuvring your blocks of troops and fighting in vicious combat, to harnessing the winds of magic and linking your battles into epic campaigns.

Forces of Fantasy meanwhile contains army lists for those on the side of good: the Dwarfen Mountain Holds, the Empire of Man, the Kingdom of Bretonnia, the Wood Elf Realms, and the High Elf Realms. Each has profiles for every unit in the army, plus special rules for that faction, unique spells, magic items, and more, alongside showcases of beautifully painted Citadel miniatures.

Ravening Hordes does the same job for the monstrous forces of evil, covering the Orc and Goblin Tribes, the Warriors of Chaos, the Beastmen Brayherds, and the Tomb Kings of Khemri.”
