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 submit we received 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 would come and what to prepare for. Anticipate the response to it has been terrible. 40k particularly has received a number of hate for Video games Workshop “taking a break”, confirming only one extra launch for 2024, and we have already received 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, more than likely simply because it is 40k. However, actual speak, it is a bit “meh. Now, Video games Workshop has anticipated this with their assertion within the submit:
“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”
Actually… 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 feel that is truthful. We’re about to be in September, we cannot get a lot if something in December anyway, so this lets GW give attention to different stuff.
With AoS having simply had a brand new addition, we suspect all the main focus 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 one among Slaves of Darkness. That is cool, however that can also be 2024 executed with for AoS. We get a teaser of recent Spearhead bins in early 2025, however not a lot outdoors of those for Orruks and Gloomspite. Then we get a very imprecise teaser about “Loss of life”. Plus extra military bins and Spearhead. It is just a little on the imprecise aspect, 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 gifting away an excessive amount of? We all know a number 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 the most effective ranges in AoS, so why not tease “a brand new race joins the cities” increase! Mic drop, the followers go wild. I imply, I may be just a little bias as I accumulate 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 give attention to, 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.
