It appears that the Old World is coming back. That's right Warhammer Fantasy appears to be getting a remake most likely with it's own version of the rules. Of course they are not saying this yet but the hints are there, referring to the old world to AoS being similar to the Horus Heresy and Warhammer 40k.
It makes sense and is logical. Monsters and miniatures being able to be used loosely back and forth, similar to 40k and HH.
My question will be......... will people move to it? What will happen to AoS? Will the Old World be primarily driven by Forgeworld releases?
Here is what they said this morning

The Old World is to Warhammer Age of Sigmar, as the Horus Heresy is to Warhammer 40,000. The bedrock of lore from which mortals rose to godhood and legends were forged. And like the Horus Heresy, seeing those mythic heroes in action has an undeniable appeal, as does re-creating the glorious armies of a previous epoch – an exciting proposition for hobbyists and gamers alike. And now, we have a dedicated team in the Warhammer Studio beginning the work of bringing all that awesome back to the tabletop.
Exciting stuff!
If you’re itching to jump into the Old World right now, you can! There is a fantastic selection of computer games, such as Vermintide and Total War: Warhammer, offering a chance to engage in the enduring appeal of the setting.
And what next, then, for Warhammer Age of Sigmar?
There are some HUGE (some might say giant) plans for the Mortal Realms… More news soon. For now, we have to keep it hysh-hysh.
