We’ve removed Karl Franz symbols from plastic kits like the War Altar, the State Troops and the General on Griffon (though Karl’s body is still on the frame). But a model like Kurt Helborg will always be Kurt Helborg, so we’ve not brought him back.
We’ve made elaborate transfers for
Bretonnians, Dwarfs, and soon the High Elves. The Dwarf one, for instance, has most of the runes, so you can put the Rune of Accuracy on your cannon!
JTY: The provinces that you remember, such as Ostland and Hochland, are still there, even if they’re not drawn on the map. They’re currently part of a larger whole, but their state colours still exist, their Elector is still present – they’re just not politically independent. But that shouldn’t prevent you from making an army in Hochland colours, or Nordland’s, for example, or even one that features the colours of several states all fighting under the banner of a larger region. The more you delve into the map, the more you will see what the current situation really is - and how it may come to be in the era of Karl Franz.
Remember, the first wave of the Empire of Man arrives for pre-order this Saturday.
