Has Games Workshop Given Up on Old World? | Warhammer the Old World | Square Based Show
Where is the news? It’s been seven months since a meaningful announcement for Warhammer the Old World. Are we looking at a 1.5 update? Has the "Scope" actually changed or is Games Workshop just asleep at the switch?
But first, Rob and Val dive into a massive catch-up session—from Val's grueling victory at the CanHammer Team Tournament to the ongoing labor of love that is the Renegade Legacy Pack and Rob's "Rivers" event.
Chapters:
0:00 - Intro
1:41 - Val’s Renegades update and the Chaos Dwarf draft.
8:07 - CanHammer Team Tournament post-mortem and why team formats rock.
16:10 - Rob's 500-point Foray event.
23:42 - Event Showcase blog
32:36 - Does Square Based Comp scare away the A-tier armies?
43:18 - *Main Topic:* Seven months of silence. Why has Old World dissappeared?
55:02 - Rumors and theories: Missing starter boxes and the 1.5 edition "copium."
57:24 - The Business Theory: Did GW just crush their KPIs and take their foot off the gas?
1:14:06 - Could Age of Sigmar’s upcoming overhaul be freezing Old World's release schedule?
1:19:33 - What does the ideal Old World release schedule actually look like?
