It took 4 years but it finally happened. Those Empire forces you like are finally back in style. No Brettonians because the Ghoul meme is too stronk but this one is interesting.
For quite a while Stormcast Eternals have been something of a joke. They wanted them so hard to be the new Ultramarines they even replaced the statue outside Warhammer World with one of them. They thought these uniform faceless Spartan knock offs would be the hip new thing with the kidz!
Then Age of Sigmar actually came out and shit like the relaunched Moonclan Grots and Ghouls ended up much more popular. Probably because they were mostly the same sculpts with a few new and improved ones that could be used in both AoS and Fantasy and its hard to fuck up something like a Grot or a Skaven or whathaveyou.
But somethings been changing at GW lately. at first they tried to make the Stormcast less uniform. Some wear robes, many dont have helmets and in general they tried to diversify them. Which only meant more Stormcast models as the originals didn't go away. This for people who didn't follow what happened post End Times lead to them becoming a joke. Every set or starter box including spin off games like the massively popular shadespire had to include multiple releases for them and 1 for other races if you were lucky. But it wore on people. At conventions and even in one case a private industry event by GW the employees were nervously joking "and no its not another stormhost being revealed today" and the second edition rulebook -many would argue the first actual edition- out and out calls them 'Sigmars greatest mistake' while reintroducing things like Bright Wizards from the realm of fire, highly industrial engineers from the realm of metal and so on. All of a sudden the reject space marines, reject primaris if you want to get technical i suppose, were being treated as the redheaded stepchild of the company the consumers treated them as.
Since then they have started to take something of a backseat. They are releasing more stories, boxes and side games without them and now a reworked Empire and Dwarves army book is showing up intended to literally replace Stormcast Eternals with Warhammer Fantasy Battle minatures.
Has GW given up the ghost and admitted defeat on trying to bruteforce the meme of Stormcasts? we know a publicly traded company doing well will be pressured into year over year profit and its the only Warhammer range beyond the Khadaron Overlords and horrible current version of Ogres that are doing poorly while taking up a lot more space on store shelves. We all know what happened last time in this situation.
What are your thoughts on the resurgence of actual Warhammer human and dwarven forces and this slow pushing aside of their attempted darling of the company?

Ogre Kingdoms redo confirmed as the last Destruction update after Orkz. They took Ogre Kingdoms and split them up. They only sold a box for 'Beastclaw Raiders which were ogres riding large mammoth type beasts and the hunter maneater and yheetees while the other units were broken up into pity armys like 'Gutbusters' for reasons nobody had any idea about.
Now a new Ogre Tyrant is unifying them to found a 'Kingdom for the Ogres' and all the split up Ogre models are once again being reunified into a single army. Maybe people will actually start buying the models again now they aren't all overpriced resin trash with the plastic rereleases.
Only plastic replacement for Resin show so far is the Ogre Tyrant but it continues part of the big rumour from GW (which included a AoS style reboot for 40k) mentioning cutting all resin from their catalogue by 2021.

Everyone knew this was coming though, they have been regrouping all the retarded minifactions into proper armies again, and we all knew they wouldn't slice (all of) the Empire range. It's probably going to be a really retarded mix of units that don't really look good together anyway, so not much change. They really should have split them into Humans, dwarves and elves instead and made new units for each.
And nah, I don't see them ever backing down on sigmarines. They'll probably have them in the next starter along with another stronk black wamen leading them.

You know this makes me curious, how well do these fantasy legacy models sell in comparison to AoS figures? Seems to be enough to convince GW to bring more of them back

Who do you think you’re fooling, GW is releasing this book and then putting a whole bunch of models on last chance to buy so they can make a
killing on panic sales. GW didn’t suddenly become “based”, they’re setting up for a massive panic buy to inflate profits.

He literally wasn't. We've seen this shit before. Out of nowhere, a Shitmar thread pops up, gets a ton of copy and paste shit dumped all at once, regulars tell them to fuck off, then the shitmarfags get pissed off and leave for another month or two. When they learn how to make threads without coming off as giant faggots, they will stop being bullied.

Yeah, two posts that are probably from the same person. Honestly if Age of Sigmar discussion is just going to get bumplocked every time then Chrow should stop being a fag and just outright ban it so this whole song and dance doesn't come up every few months.

Kharadron didn't stop selling because of designs,they actually sold well at first.
They stopped selling because aos 2.0 nerfed them to shit, and suddenly super expensive new army turned into a paperweight, as some unit builds were even made illegal.
Playing gw shit is like chasing the dragon, it always seems near but you will never reach it.
