AoS AOS Soft Reboot (Gerücht!)

Für diejenigen, die das Video nicht schauen wollen:
We received word about this a while back — but along with it came a flood of conflicting information.
In hindsight, those inconsistencies were probably just staffers throwing up smoke because they were in shock themselves.
The worst version of the story is one we’d rather not post here. It wouldn’t accomplish anything — just break the hearts of fans and undo years of AoS’s momentum.
But after getting some images and transcriptions of the actual text from the PDFs, we had a discussion internally and can confirm: Rob on YouTube, and the Discord member were accurate.
I’ll be upfront — the people behind this account, meaning us, were never fans of AoS. More than a decade ago, we were outright hostile to it. But even we are furious at how this turned out. The dumbest scenario imaginable is happening all over again. WHFB fans won’t pay for this, and AoS fans will be absolutely livid.
What makes it worse is that AoS has never been a commercial failure. Last time something like this went down — and you all know what I’m talking about — it was because WHFB had become a genuine commercial disaster by a certain point. That’s what pushed the higher-ups into making a reckless decision.
AoS, though? It’s never fallen that low. From what we know, since 2018, it’s been Games Workshop’s second-biggest product line after 40K, for WHFB fans like us, is wild. Even if we don’t like admitting AoS counts as Warhammer Fantasy Miniatures, internally it’s been labeled as the “Greatest Warhammer Fantasy” product.
So none of this makes sense. The people still at GW who gave us info don’t get it either. Most of the people who’ve worked on AoS are baffled. But maybe Phil Kelly leaving was the first sign of what was coming.
We were going to wait until after AdeptiCon to announce any of this — because this is definitely going to trigger internal investigations at GW — but we just can’t hold it in anymore. We think it’s time to lay everything out.
As we posted a few days ago:
“Slaanesh is free. The Realms that have been mapped, the Cities of Sigmar, the Chorfs’ cities — they’re not gone.”
Because all of those known locations are being merged into a single planet!
A Battleworld!
The Realms have been combined!
Eighty percent of what AoS has spent over a decade building is gone!
And yes — this is all thanks to Archaon and the Skaven. Again.
After all of it, only the Skaven can call themselves winners. Their lore and their new model range stay exactly as they are — and they definitely come out on top.
After the gates of Azyr were breached, Archaon destroyed everything. Anything you can think of in that realm was utterly annihilated by the Everchosen.
But at the last moment, Sigmar pulled the trigger on a Big Plan he’d been preparing for centuries. He always wanted to merge the Realms into a single new planet, and in the final hour, he went through with it. So here we are.
As for what happened to Sigmar? Archaon killed him like you’d crush a child. His death is written to be even more infuriating than The Death of Sanguinius in <The End and the Death>.
You can tell whoever wrote this had it out for Sigmar — and maybe for AoS in general.
What about the SCE? I don’t think they can reforge anymore. Their god is dead.
The Aelven Pantheon?
Nagash?
The Ancestor Gods?
Gorkamorka?
All unaccounted for. Maybe Archaon killed them too.
With the Realms destroyed, Slaanesh is back among the Dark Gods, and they’ve accepted the Great Horned Rat as one of them. The Five Gods stand eternal.
This new world is called The Last World.
Its continents are made up of the regions that had maps in the Eight Realms, stitched together. And the whole thing is a blatant, low-quality rehash of WHFB.
For example: the Great Nations of Hysh, home of the Lumineth, now exist as an island nation in the middle of an ocean…
CoS have basically turned back into The Empire — fragmented, ignorant, religiously fanatical, and racially divided.
We’re pretty sure a lot of the characters AoS fans know and love died in The Last World. They’re not coming back.
As for Archaon — I’m not sure. The information we got about him was almost comical.
“The Everchosen is gathering a Chaos army at a portal in the far north of The Last World.”
We’re not even sure if that “Everchosen” is Archaon. But it sure sounds familiar.
Who’s actually going to pay for this?
AoS fans — will you?
The only advice I can give right now is: if after all these lore changes you’re still willing to buy into AoS, 5th Edition will have way more SCE models with a grimmer, darker aesthetic than 4th — and a ton of Chaos Warriors covered in spikes and Chaos monsters.
As for the rest? We don’t know. That’s all we wanted to say. We’re exhausted, and we’re still figuring out if we should scrap this account. This is so big it’s definitely going to come back on us. We have no idea if GW will change anything about Fifth Edition over the next two years, but the first draft is done, and we’ve seen plenty of concept art. So odds of a major rewrite are probably low.
The one silver lining — and I mean the only one — is that The Last World will have several new human factions.

Ist schade für die Leute, die den Hintergrund eines GW Spiels mögen.
Allerdings ist es ja nicht das erste Mal, das GW den Hintergrund eines seiner Spiele komplett umschreibt oder gar ein Spiel beendet.
Wäre aber sehr zynisch wenn GW das neue Spiel einfach Warhammer The New World nennen würde.
In Age of Sigmar fehlt Warhammer 🤪 ...Warhammer The New World klingt gut sagen die Aktionäre 😂👍
Mal gucken wie lange es noch Necromunda gibt bevor es in Warhammer Hive Scum unbenannt wird 🙃
Wow. Völlig unglaubwürdiger Bullshit und undbelegte Panikmache. Nächstes Thema?
Jemand auf Tga hat das mal neutral zusammengefasst und dann klingt das schon viel weniger unglaubwürdig.
Nö, klingt für mich kein bisschen glaubwürdiger und ist auch nicht das, was da in dem ersten Text behauptet wird.
Wir haben irgendwelche Typen im Internet, die irgendein Zeug erzählen. Auf die Gefahr hin, mich zu wiederholen: Wow.

Willkommen im Internet wo mittlerweile die kleinste Information breitgtreten wird mit Buzzwords und Endzeit Einleitungen.
Warum sollte dies im Tabletop anders sein, als bei normalen Medien.
Leider ist eine nüchterne, emotionsfreiere Betrachtung meist nicht mehr möglich in der heutigen Zeit. 🙁
Seltsam das mal wieder solche "News" in "Sichtweite" eines 1. April herum auftauchen..
Zumal die 5te Edition AoS soweit ich meine, auch erst zum Sommer 2027 kommen dürfte..
Viel interessanter, weil seriös:
ein neuer Adepticon Artikel mit einigen Hinweisen zur Preview. 😉

Ich finde das jetzt auch nicht so wild. Wenn Modelle von Charakteren aus dem Spiel fliegen ist das vielleicht ärgerlich für manche, aber kein Weltuntergang. Eine Zusammenlegung der Reiche fände ich gut und Skaven sollten mMn. immer als finale Sieger dastehen, ja ja!
Also falls diese "Änderungen" kommen sollten, finde ich die gar nicht mal so schlecht, an AoS wird sich bis auf die Lore und die war mir in AoS eh schon immer total egal, ja eh nichts ändern, ausser das "chaos and skaven winning, Slaanesh coming back" was auch immer das Bedeuten soll und weitere, neue Völker für AoS finde ich immer super, Bretonnia würde ich total feiern wenn die auch für AoS kommen, da könnte ich mir geile, neue total abgedrehte Modelle vorstellen und in meiner Spielgruppe gibt es auch ein paar Spieler die sich Cathay auch für AoS wünschen.
Ich weiß nicht, was ich von sowas halten soll. Unter der Prämisse, dass es stimmt, dann liest sich für mich so, als wollte GW krampfhaft ein neues Warhammer-Setting aber mit AoS Regelwerk etablieren. Eventuell ist man zu der Erkenntnis gekommen, dass die 8 Reiche als Setting einfach zu groß sind für glaubhafte "Apokalypse"-Szenarien.
Müssen wir abwarten, aber falls es so kommt, dann danke für das frühzeitige Warnen.

Was und das wo mir seit dem Tod von WHFB im Internet erzählt wird, dass der AOS-Fluff absolut genial ist (so kreativ🥰) und das Spiel der größte Erfolg seit geschnitten Brot?
Verrückt.
Verrückt.
klar, 3 neue Menschenfraktionen. Blödsinn. Und dann noch Cathy (China), und dazu Japan (und Kisley). Och glaub nicht dran. Slanesh Rückkehr, ja, die Story geht ohnehin schon lange in die Richtung. Chaos und Skaven am Gewinnen, tun sie auch schon seit einer Weile. Alles nichts neues und die restliche Grütze hätte ich mir auch ausdenken können.
Die ganze Nummer mit den Reichen war von Anfang an sehr schwammig und wenig konkret.
Die Kritik daran ist (auch hier im Forum) nicht neu und solange ich das System verfolgt habe ist es GW in meinen Augen auch nicht ansatzweise gelungen, das mit Leben zu füllen.
Da ist eine Karte, bei der man genau sehen kann, welche Fraktion, welcher Ort, welche Armee und welche Person sich gerade genau wo befindet und wohin bewegt, deutlich handfester.
Wenn das so kommt verbrenne ich alle meine Armeen 😤
/s
Mal im Ernst, das klingt wie ein Aprilscherz ungeahnten Ausmaßes.
Und falls etwas dran ist, schade ich finde den Hintergrund bisher viel spannender.

So ganz unwahrscheinlich ist das vielleicht gar nicht, AoS ist jetzt wie alt? 10 Jahre?! Anfangs habe ich das für eine gute Idee gehalten mit den verschiedenen Scheibenwelten, aber Jahre später ist das immer noch nicht mit Lore-Leben gefüllt. Alles ist irgendwie unklar, halbgar und zum Teil wirklich albern .. ich schaue auf dich Hysh, du Sonne für die anderen Reiche .. was für ein Quark ..
Das Gleiche gilt auch für die Völker, ich übertreibe, 50 verschiedene Fraktionen mit jeweils 3 Packungen an Miniaturen, zum Ausgleich kommt dann auch nix mehr nach 😵 siehe brennende Zwerge, irgendwelche Hyshgobbos, komische Elfen. Aber unglaublich spannende Sigmarines. Wird Zeit das die Welt wieder mal untergeht 😉
Und im verrückten Internetz gibt es ja auch das ein oder andere Gerücht ,dass AoS sich gar nicht mehr so gut verkauft.
Wir werden sehen.
