===Tomb Kings vs Bretonnia=== [[file:Tomb_King_Model-TOW.jpg|thumb|right|400px|The return of the King(s).]] During Warhammer Fest in April, new resin models for the Tomb King and Bretonnian Paladin were announced, confirming the two squatted factions from fantasy will be the first to return to the table top. Both factions will gain new models and returning ones, with both new plastic and resin models (which was not surprising since TOW is a Forge World game). The first major story will revolve around Bretonnia fighting back a Tomb King invasion, with subsequent updates revolving initially around the factions in and around The Old World, so expect the Empire, Chaos and Orcs & Goblins to be the first to receive army books and models. So if you play a faction not too involved in the Old World in this time like Lizardmen, High Elves, or Chaos Dwarfs, sorry but you'll have to be patient. Artwork was also shown off with most of if being inspired by the 6th-7th style art found in the Armybooks. During the after stream Q&A some very important things have been discussed and explained. *There won't be a starter set for TOW, however there may still be a boxed set with 2 armies (the difference being a starter set has a rule book and other stuff to get started in the age, and boxed sets are just two armies sold in one box), and there will most likely be Army/Battalion boxes so people can get started on new armies or as entry points for new players. **The game will be a bit harder for new players to get into, but not impossible and the main target audience is Warhammer Fantasy players. *The game will be compatible with 8th edition Warhammer Fantasy armies and armies that don't get army books straight away will get PDF's after the games launch. *The updated base sizes will be announced before the game releases. **Further to this, when asked what the best way to prepare for TOW was, the answer was "paint you models". *Stuff like Chaos Dwarfs, Skaven and Lizardmen will have rules, but will not be getting new stuff until much later on. *Kislev will not be getting models imminently, but will probably be getting them sooner rather than later, and Cathay will be a while after launch. *Models will be Plastic (new and old), FW Resin and Metal (because not even GW can sell you the finecast versions with a straight face anymore). *Stuff like AoS specific armies and models like Stormcast, Idoneth deepkin and the new Cities of Sigmar models are not made to be compatible with TOW, and are not getting any rules for TOW, and this will also work vice versa with Old World specific armies and models like Bretonnia, not being designed to be used in AoS. **This is probably for the best as the 2 player groups still don't like each other and have not much except animosity for the other games models (despite some people trying to get them to hold hands singing "Kumbaya"), though converting TOW models for AoS will be much easier than converting AoS models for TOW.
