The Old World: How to choose a Faction 

A. Is it Chaos Dwarfs? Yes - End. No - Go to A.

Step 1: look in my attic Step 2: find Wood Elves, Vampire Counts, Tomb Kings Step 3: play those

Definitely going down the 3D printing road with this, especially since there are several factions I really want to collect up for the different playstyle options they give you as well as different aesthetics... as well as that GW put almost all of them in the 'legacy' corner.

Excited for CD as well! It was my very first army back in the 90's! I look forward to your CD building.

I love my Tzeentch Deamons. I hope they continue to get supported.

I am new to the Old World, in my teens I played Warcraft 2 and Warcraft 3 and read lots of fantasy books and my most favorite faction is definitely Orcs and Goblins. I am very much looking forward to painting them in the grimdark style with lots of mud and blood on their faces. I was also very excited for The Dark Elves and Chaos Dwarves ( yeap, I am and have always been on the evil side). I will be interested to see how you build Chaos Dwarves army and what sources you use. Also, such a great video.

Great video, big fan of a logical selection process... however I chose Dark Elves because hydras and repeater crossbows. Aesthetics and lore are my criteria hopefully there will be an old world set up for ANZAC Cup!

I'm rocking the Highland Miniatures Dwarf army currently. But I have an army of trolls, dogs of War, and dragon ogres waiting to see the light of day!

Dark Elves with Cold Ones and Cloaks for scales.

Once upon a time I grabbed a bunch of great files for beasts of chaos that I never got to beyond painting up a minotaur banner bearer. Now they've got a second reason to see some life.

Please cover how you will be doing a chorfs army as thats my first choice but i feel ill end up going with dwarfs as its too hard to source chaos ones.

I was ready to start a Slave to darkness army for AoS, but I like the Old World better so going for Warriors of Chaos. I really like the new sculpts. Only issue is I have just finished an iron warrior army, so I don’t want to paint armour anymore. So I will start by marauders and mounted marauders (using blood reavers)

Good call on the Legacy factions. I want them in too, that people make new armies with them as well.. I don´t play any, I play O&Gs - as they are the most fun and best looking IMHO.. But i want those "Legacy" to be part of the fun.

Going heavy with dwarfs and chaos warriors, also planned skaven but since I can't use stormfiends from vanguard box, i will leave them for AoS 4th edition

Owning finished Brets, Wood Elves, Dwarfs and Skaven, all around 4k Points, i will pick up High Elves for my Old World Army Project. Other Option was Vampire Counts, but i don´t own a 3d Printer and really want the Highland Miniatures VCs. So maybe when i decide to start a second Hobby aka 3d Printing

What 3d printer do you have? I'm interested in (when I have the money and less backlog) doing either brets or TK and they both have some good 3d print options to pair with the good plastic. But after that I'm def looking into OW and 40k stuff that can be enhanced with 3d printing.

I would be going with Lizardmen 100% if they weren't so expensive! Might have to look into getting a 3D printer tbh.

What are exactly legacy armies in old worlds. Officially not supported armies or armies that are not currently in the first plan of games workshop?

Is there a low model count army? Low numbers / slow / but pack a punch?

I started collecting Skaven back when AOS was starting and most kits gave you the option to use either round or square bases, and i picked squares just because i thought the big clanrat units would look nicer. Since they havent updated most of the models in 10-20 years i just have to wait for GW to release their rules for Old World and boom, i have a full army to use lol

already got around 200 skaven, 150 dark elves...tomb kings en route

Kinda funny I already know what I want for factions. I play elves in aos, 40k and now tow. But watching you go over them all is a lot of fun. I'm still sad dark elves will remain legacy though

Mantic Games has an Abyssal Dwarves line that fit into Old World perfectly. The only thing you're missing are the hats which, admittedly, is a catastrophe.

Avatars of War and Raging Heroes will have a field day 😄

You should do an STL episode for the old world.

What happened to lizardmen in the playstyle category?

Sadly, my favorite faction never had a full army, just auxilliaries. I WILL FIGHT CHAOS BARE FOOT AND BARE CHESTED!

If i go vampire counts? Then i can just buy from AOS ? but Arent bases square now ?

I'd have mentioned giving some consideration to what other armies are represented by others you are most likely to be playing with. I liked the look of Beasts of Chaos but two others I know really want to go for them. Would get a bit boring if half the people you play with all are using the same faction!

😎😎

What playstyle is Lizardmen?

Zenitch? XD that made me chuckle. Zeench

I love that you have Dwarfs in civilised, but not HE. Take that silly wet noodles!

Indeed Vampire Counts have no shooting at all (except from potential spells and some banshee/terrorgheist shrieks). Also, I put my Errantry Crusade Bretonnian army into the "Combat" category. Missile weapons are so dishonorable. :)

Can you do how to build a legion emperors children?

I think you have put wood elves in too much of a corner. In 8th they were forced to go shooting heavy as it was pretty much the only viable build but they can do great all cavalry lists which are speed/combat orientated and tree spirit focussed armies can have a real mean spirited/evil vibe to them. I also think you are overly generous to shaven - for instance they don't fit a civilised style. Edit: In retrospect the above probably came across a bit negative. Love the content and glad you're doing TOW. Having played a few different Warhammer fantasy armies I find the wood elves are actually quite diverse and interesting compared to some factions and feel they are often misrepresented because of what they were like in 8th Ed.

I still believe Vampire Counts should be the 10th faction. Vlad and Isabella are around at this time in lore (i dont think the vampire wars has kicked off yet though), mousillon is still making bretonnia look cool, neferata is still doing the lamia stuff and the strigoi are always a problem. If models are an issue, most of them have been updated in aos so they should still have the moulds and vlad, isabella, konrad and the older Vampire sculpts are still a fan favourite. And do i even have to mention Krell? (Screw kemmler)

Nah GW ain't gonna FOMO me into another game that will barely be on life support. People are still losing their minds over not being able to get anything for Legions Imperialis. You want rank and flank, Kings of War has been right there this whole time not treating its customers like a combination of a crack addict and a battered wife.

Looking at buying a 3d printer first, so I can start on Empire :)

How to choose a faction: 1. Pick either TK or Bretonnia. 2. There will be no second step for the next several years.

Pick high elves cause they the best Sword masters and white lions !

I do not think that Thorgrim is the High King yet, no.

You could even go so far as to call it….an abomination!

How to choose anything if there is nothing to buy 😂

Get into any one there is stock for which ever since pre orders absolutely nothing to buy. I’m a fan of orcs but again they will make 5 boxes and sell out in seconds

I'd put Orcs & Goblins in the combat category. A lot of miniatures are below average quality in my opinion.

Yes, make your own characters! Special characters is for kids and immature power gamers who have zero strategy and tactics and need a crutch or three.

The internal politics behind the core and legacy faction seperation is breathtaking. Specialist design studio cannot "compete" with the main studio i.e. AoS minis can only be sold for AoS. Given how self-sufficient the warhammer fantasy community is (supported a dead game for a decade), I love how the collective reaction has been, "Um, no."

I chose Lizardmen followed by Empire then Dwarfs, nope dont care lol

Tzeentch = "Zeench", not "Zenitch".

Pick an interesting one, so a legacy faction.

By the time I buy and build and paint an army the game will have been cancelled by GW

A year painting a crazy army? I painted over 2 hours every day last year and got 25 Tomb Kings Skeleton Warriors done and a couple of single models. So see you on the battle field in maybe 5 years! :)

How to vhoose a faction for The Old World: Don't. Go and play games with miniatures that aren't older than your dad. 😂
