===Finally Model Renders=== [[File:Bretonnia model renders-TOW.jpg|thumb|right|400px|After 20 years, Bretonnia will ride again.]] During mid-March 2023, GW Finally, after literal years of ball tickling, revealed some incomplete model renders... The renders were both for Bretonnia and the Tomb Kings and showed off weapons for both armies as well as a few extras such as some Bretonnian Knight helmets. The over all response to the model renders was positive, with the models looking like pretty good updates to the old 6th ed models (from the snap shot's we've seen so far at least, we're still missing images most of the models at this point). One criticism, for the Bretonnian models at least is the look a bit chunky and a seem to lean a bit more into the bad TV historical drama design than the historical design, with their being a bit less of a direct reference to historical knight helmets than before. Hopefully the chunkiness of the models is just from the model renders. *Update: It was later revealed that old models from Warhammer Fantasy would be going back into production, with the entire article showing off newly painted Bretonnian models (the old ones from 20 years ago), in a new era actuate scheme. The model kits shown off were the old knight of the realm (presented in a Lance formation), the Bretonnian peasants, the trebuchet and some hippogryphs. The reasons for this are probably down to a mix of most of the old models still looking good, [[Grognard|people liking the old models]] and want to get them without buying from some Ebay scalper and GW being lazy. These old models are going to be re-released alongside new models so Bretonnia is getting less of a full redo, a more of an update that it would have gotten if Warhammer Fantasy had survived into a 9th edition. In addition to this the article also aludes to some special rules for specific armies for Bretonnia with an Exile Knight and a Crusade army being in the works.<br> Finally the article confirmed that TOW will be using a larger base size than Warhammer Fantasy with most base sizes being increased to some degree (e.g. 20x20mm bases being upped to 25x25mm). This was met to both cries of [[Skub|"Finally" and "For fuck sake"]]. The base increase is due to the fact that a lot of models released since 7th have had difficulty ranking up with their current base sizes, and GW seems reluctant to make the models less "dynamic" or smaller. And while it may seem like everyone will have to rebase their models, it was also stated that having models on smaller bases should only be a problem for tournaments and the smaller based models from your old Fantasy army will be fine for playing at the FLGS (you can also put the models on bigger movement trays and avoid both problems at the same time).
