Warhammer Highway Maps for 2024 are right here and the response to it has been… one thing.
So on the NOVA open reveals that occurred at 3am for us so we didn’t do a reveal put up we obtained a bunch of articles that seemed on the street maps for every Warhammer recreation system. That is nice, proper? We get to know what’s coming, when it’d come and what to prepare for. Count on the response to it has been terrible. 40k particularly has obtained lots of hate for Video games Workshop “taking a break”, confirming only one extra launch for 2024, and we have already obtained the primary a part of that exposed.
Anyway, let’s check out them.
Warhammer Highway Maps for 2024
Warhammer 40k
So, that is most likely essentially the most controversial one of many lot, most definitely simply because it is 40k. However, actual discuss, it is a bit “meh. Now, Video games Workshop has anticipated this with their assertion within the put up:
“With so much taking place in 2024, it is time to take a breath, watch the steadiness, and benefit from the World Championships of Warhammer”
Truthfully… we get it, we preserve listening to from followers that we get too many new releases, however when GW decelerate, folks complain. Perhaps it is as a result of the one factor that’s popping out is one thing we have already seen, however truthfully, I believe that is honest. We’re about to be in September, we can’t get a lot if something in December anyway, so this lets GW deal with different stuff.
With AoS having simply had a brand new addition, we suspect all the main target might be on that recreation system…
Age of Sigmar
So, that is the place the panic begins to set in. Battletomes for Skaven and Stormcast are apparent, however we additionally get certainly one of Slaves of Darkness. That is cool, however that can also be 2024 performed with for AoS. We get a teaser of latest Spearhead bins in early 2025, however not a lot outdoors of those for Orruks and Gloomspite. Then we get a very obscure teaser about “Loss of life”. Plus extra military bins and Spearhead. It is a bit of on the obscure facet, and that is actually the problem right here.
Why not tease one thing new right here, “a brand new Loss of life faction is coming”, get folks excited for 2025 with out making a gift of an excessive amount of? We all know lots of factions will get new stuff in 2025 as a result of we simply had a brand new version of the sport. What about Cities of Sigmar, it is probably the greatest ranges in AoS, so why not tease “a brand new race joins the cities” growth! Mic drop, the followers go wild. I imply, I is perhaps a bit of bias as I acquire Cities of Sigmar, however the level nonetheless stands.
Warhammer the Previous World
So, nothing actually new is coming for Previous World in 2024 that we weren’t conscious of. We do know that the Empire and Elves are subsequent, then extra factions after that. The half about Plastic, Metallic, Resin appears a bizarre factor to deal with, truthfully, as we all know that is how Previous World works now.
Horus Heresy Highway Map
Once more, like Previous World, the “smaller” video games appear to have gotten the worst deal right here. Horus Heresy is probably going going to get one thing new every month, and 2025 could have… Tanks. So, that is good.
