I got through the entire discussion about the existence (or not) of oat before noticing that I was watching the twitch vod for *this* video rather than the Adepticon Live stream 😆 In appreciation of Val, I offer this oat factoid (fictoid?): There's a traditional Danish song about oat *written from the point of view of oat* by beloved poet Jeppe Aakjaer. The song is called 'I am oat'. Here's a video of it being performed in our "national" concert hall: kzread.info/dash/bejne/eH6cx8h9f83Pico.html Again, this song is about oat - written from the pov of oat.
The developement of Old World looks like a roller coaster of emotions the likes of which I haven't seen since I've been on an actual roller coaster.

1:07:30 Sorry Rob, but those are 101% Common Trolls. They were released after Battle for Skull Pass to match the single plastic troll in that box to make a unit of three, and were always sold as common trolls. The stone trolls were still available separately at the same time. Love the show guys!

The 6 metal blue and 3 metal green trolls coming to made to order (who knows when, it's made to order they could literally plonk those up already not make us wait an eternity to wait even longer) are your stone and river trolls respectively from the era.
It is CRAZY to see that statement about the scope of the game has grown! I can imagine that leadership at GW let this go out as a trial balloon, and now it's looking like the game has legs. Rob, you called it, mate. Looks like GW has a hit on its hands!!

@@mtuktuk9627dude just print models
Regarding the Plague of Rust stuff, also check the rules for 'Shield' and 'Barding' (both on pg 221 I think). "A model that carries a shield improves its armour value by 1." and "A model that rides a barded mount improves its armour value by 1." So if Plague of Rust's "the target enemy unit suffers a -2 modifier to its armour value" also applies to Ward and Regen 'armour values', we'd have to accept that shields and barding would as well (as would Trollhide Trousers). Base 4+ Lady save for Bretonnian Knights here we come! Would love for Plague of Rust to be included in the next faq.
"Let 'em tell da King. Da east belongs to da Orcs. Da east belongs to Morglum. Da east is green."
I am glad that Ogres are back in the Orc and Goblin list. They were in the list in 4/5th ed. Hopefully they'll be put back into the Empire army along with Halflings, and Dwarfs when that Journal comes out.

Good news, these Ogres can be taken in any army that has a mercenary slot now!! So you can put some in your empire army!!
I think every oldhammer nerd has different old models that they love and want to buy, and ones that they find goofy and outdated. So I'm hoping everyone can be happy wjth the wide variety of older models that are returning, since making new kits seems to be very rare so far
"Those are stone trolls" no they are common, they were based on the common troll in the battle for Skull pass starter set

They should try and always have bad news to make fans angry. Like “during this period of time the Empire is riddled with plague and all of their units must remain 6 inches apart or they take a panic test.”
That Orc Great Shaman with Bone Club. The OG of Orcs and Goblins models. As well the look of the Wolf Chariot Goblins is the chefs kiss
I honestly like the "crappy" old models. They have a charm, and that charm is what drew me to them back in the 90's. I have been digging out my old orcs and gobos. Allot of them have aome atrocious paint jobs🤣
Great talk guys, I'd like to give a big shout out to the Highland Miniatures Orcs & Gobbos range as well. They just released a ton of steppe gobbos that are the HD version of the classic wolf riders aestethic. Their Savage Orc range is simply beautious.
I consider myself pretty lucky to be an orc n goblin player and to have stumbled across this. I’m literally building models in my nerd corner. Keep it up guys
I laughed at the 10am start time, with my normal schedule I have been up at least 5 hours. I definitely understand the concept - but it's funny for all of us who do start our day early.
Should also mention that since the river trolls are made to order... And your supposed to make a whole troll army... The scope of the game has truly... Expanded

Having a big Square Based Saturday catch up, great stuff as always chaps.
Love the show as ever. May it long continue. I am currently working on my wood elf army (look forward to the deep dive), but I am seriously addicted again that I'm planning either empire or skaven next. Very popular once again at my local club with about 12 players, some new some returning a real buzz for Old World again. 😊
Rob saying a 9am start is disgusting just reminds me that we live in different realities.
Val's dancing is next level
That orc shaman has always been one of my favorite models as well, and I don't even play orcs! It just screams Warhammer to me!
Apparently the Ogres are available as mercenaries (so they fit in that up to 20% slot in grand army lists). Quite happy to use them as I have 8 from my 4th edition days, where they were massively overpriced. Hopefully they'll be more useful in the Old World.
@ 1:37:28 We actually got a photo of the unreleased Dwarfen Shieldbearer sprue and alas, it doesn't match the teaser and rumour engine images. So this is ceratinly a new sculpt.
Kind of sad O&G didn't get some refresh love. Dem gobbos showing dere age. Thanks for the Avatars of War suggestions.
Great video and between this and the deep dive we've been properly spoiled this week. Thanks.
I had based a bunch of black orcs on rounds for AoS but now I might cut them off and order the AoS start collecting with night gobbos and squigs. Heck, I got two starter boxes worth of AoS orcs too and I can scratch build a doom diver
Instead of only a Goregrunta as a stand-in for a boar chariot, what we need is one orc standing on a small plank with wheels behind it holding some reigns and pretending to be in control xD
I'm positively foaming at the mouth to see the new Dwarf Lord/Thane revealed tonight. Can't wait to see what you guys make of the reveals.

Absolutely making a troll army, ordering all 9 made to order, getting the ones not made to order, i already have a hag. Always wanted those trolls as a kid.

Something that keeps coming up for me; the answer is RAW vs RAI it seems but, is damage from miscasts magical? There is a lot of fluff text about all the magical energy going wrong but rules wise, the damage comes from the roll on the miscast table. Nowhere on that table does it say the hits have magical attacks. Are ethereal units immune to damage from miscasts?
@tommyakesson8858

I would heavily argue that we should play it as magic damage. It is no mundane explosion caused. And anyone being hardball about it? He/she would drop waaay down on the list of people I would like to play with. In a tournament I would accept it as non magical if the opponent wanted it. But I would dock his sportmansship score! 😅
I think it just means Kislev and Cathay. Maybe Dark Elves become core. I don't think the map expands beyond the Old World though.
There is absolutely no way that they're going to make Plague of Rust work the way it works RAW if they've properly caught that issue. It doesn't matter how prevalent Wards and Regens are, that would make Plague of Rust something every army that can get it needs and thereby completely warp the game given how powerful that it would be. There is just no logical way it's going to left that way if it's caught.
It's called plague of rust... I'm pretty sure I understand what that spell is trying to do.

I'm pretty sure the blue ones are stone trolls.

Hey Folks, probably missed this somewhere, but do multiple ward saves stack? Hoping they don't as it gets a bit obnoxious rolling an armour save then two ward saves just take a wound off something lol.
Great show as always. The old models have there place for their simple details that make for easier painting. Yeah it does not have the details that modern kits have but let’s face it all that detail is daunting for a new person to paint. Metals for that matter take the time & annoys out of assembling plastic kits for R&F models. Each to their own but there is a lot to be said for models that are easy to assemble, streamlined look and minimal details for painting.
So Single Army releases for the old World so GW can string the community along further down the well beaten path 😂😂😂
Still learning, why does armour value equate to ward et al?
Actually, I’m planning an O&G army with maybe 1 green skin :) (And no, they are common trolls…stone trolls are made to order)

I will hold onto 2000 until it's untenable. Faster games, lower barrier to entry, harder list choices.
The dwarfs really, really need something that gives them more mobility. I hope they release those tanks for them. I am concerned my mates who main dwarfs may get disillusioned with the game. They also just announced some weird contraption for Blood Bowl dwarfs which could be easily translated into an old world unit.
When I was briefly in car sales, we had a saying, "Money talks and bullshit walks."
Is there precedent for victory conditions other than kill points in WHFB/tOW?
We do have to be careful with these boxes because it's clear the launch has sold super super well, but... when boxes like the O&G battalion are so unappealing, and ranges like beastmen could be a bit of a flop, there's some risk of us being too negative and creating the appearance of damp demand. Especially when the square base community at large is so full of printing
@SquareBasedOldWorld p161. need a unit strength of over 5 to cause panic when destroyed. that lone razorgor at 23:33 would not have caused panic when it was wiped out as it is a warbeast and only has a unit strength of 1. worth noting as there are a decent number of units with less than 5 unit strength that are now way better chaff

I feel sorry for them. Before they came out the first time the ogres that we pretty much always saw were the Goodwin ones from the mid-80s* which they were always going to be inferior to and now they've come out again and there are lots of misguided people around who prefer the modern ones. I really like the standard bearer (which I've got) and the one with the spike and axe (which I haven't). Looks like you probably have to buy the lot or nothing though? *There had been Marauder ones that I don't really like and some Citadel Bob Olley ones that I do in between, but it was (rightly) always the Goodwin ones that you'd see in White Dwarf or whatever.

Excuse me for offtopic. But now I’m thinking, how trustworthy can GW be? For example, now in ToW there are options for “traditional” Savage Orcs and Night Goblins. Are there any guarantees that they will not be purged altogether in the next edition of the rules? "Lore" is not carved in the rock as we all know.

I think Savage Orcs are probably being shelved on account of them being a not-so-great ooga-booga type trope. Which they get away with just by being bad ass Orcs. Don't get me wrong, I love them... but I could understand why maybe they should be reimagined or left in the lore. As for Night Gobbos - I'd say they're here to stay. I don't see why they wouldn't.
KISLEV!
What possibly could they have done to make this project successful? It doesn't have a single sigmarine in it. They didn't even light their world on fire and abandon it. Quick, figure out what they're doing to make us money.
I am disappointed with the orc & goblin battalion. I’d have preferred to see 10 bore boyz instead of the chariots. I was also hoping for a new Wyvern considering the tomb kings got a new dragon and the Bretionians got a new lord on a pegasus.
