Games Workshop revealed old (but new) Bretonnian models for Warhammer The Old World, along with teasers for new minis!
With the two launch boxes out, it’s time for more models to come to light! The exciting thing about these is they are unreleased models from 2008, so while they are not totally brand new, they have never seen the light of day! They also mention how some old models will come back; even if they are metal, there might be a chance for a re-release of some special edition models.
New Bretonnian Old World Models Revealed By GW!
Here is the latest on the new Bretonnian model for Warhammer the Old World.
There are even a few new models coming – but one of these has a longer history than you might expect. In fact, this Bretonnian Lord on Foot (and his little helper) were actually sculpted back in 2008, but never released. Until now.
With the game bringing back so many older models, it’s really cool to see some unreleased miniatures finally come to light!
This awesome model was made in 2008,” explains Old World Lead Rob. “It was shown at a Games Day around then, in a cabinet of greens.
“As we were writing the new game, someone remembered the miniature and inquired if it was still around. The mould room still had it, but it had never been pressed in rubber as far as we could tell, and they kindly made new master and production moulds so we could release him in metal.”
This model looks fantastic and has that very old-school Warhammer Fantasy feel. While the squire doesn’t have rules, we’re sure you could throw it into a foot soldier unit, and it would look great!
More Exclusive Minis Returning For Warhammer The Old World
And while there might not be other unreleased models coming to Warhammer: The Old World, he’s far from the only rarity to return. Many factions will receive a few surprises in this vein – and this isn’t the only noble knight on foot mustering for the Kingdom of Bretonnia.
While they didn’t say for sure this Exalted Hero of Chaos from the 2009 Games Day would be making a return, they did put in the sentence about more models coming back right below him! It’s always exciting to see old miniatures come to light, especially when they have been gone for so long. With the game bringing back many older models, we can’t wait to see what other surprises Games Workshop has in store for us.
