Will GW or the Community Pull the Plug on Legacy Factions? | Warhammer the Old World | Square Based Show

from Square Based: A Warhammer Fantasy in the Old World · host Square Based Podcast

He’s back! After a brief hiatus and a spot of "looks-maxing" surgery, Val has resubscribed to the show. In this episode, Rob and Val dive into the ultimate "what if" scenario: *What happens if Games Workshop actually pulls the plug on Legacy factions in a future 2.0 update?* After a delightful catchup, the fellas take a deep look into how much the Legacy Factions are still being played, as well as how much the Renegade Legacy Pack is used at events. With a movement afoot for some events to stop including Legacy factions (Renegades or not) the time is now to decide how the community should respond.  CHAPTERS 0:00 - Intro: Val has Resubscribed! 2:23 - Warhammer Total War: Tiger Warriors & Furry Representation 8:31 - Val’s Recovery: Red Dead Redemption & Beaver Sex Hormones 13:16 - UPCOMING EVENT (link for tix below): Val’s UK Trip & Maple Mayhem (April 4 and 5) 15:21 - Rob’s Chaos Dwarfs: Too Pretty to Move? 21:14 - Project Reveal: The Chaos Wastelands Battle Pack 29:57 - Update on The Massive Warhammer Old World Survey 2026 31:46 - THE MAIN EVENT: What If Legacy Armies are Deleted? 42:01 - Community Stewardship: Lessons from Blood Bowl 48:51 - Data Dump: Legacy vs. Renegade Usage Rates Worldwide 1:02:42 - The Cult of "Official" vs. Community Creation 1:19:14 - The Renegade Process: Identity over Balance 1:40:29 - The Emergency: Managing Vampire Counts Meta 1:47:04 - Val’s Personal Update: Putting Humpty Dumpty together again. 1:50:24 - Outro & Nerfed Cathay Battle Reports LINKS MENTIONED IN THE SHOW: MENTIONED IN THIS VIDEO: *Maple Mayhem Tickets COME PLAY WITH ROB AND VAL IN NOTTINGHAM!*:  ► https://tsnarena.com/event/maple-mayhem/ ► *Rob's Old World EVENTS in Nottingham!* https://tsnarena.com/events/category/the-old-world/ ► *Tickets for Canhammer Teams in Ottawa May 2 and 3*  https://www.ccbb.ca/tickets ►  Support us on *PATREON* and join us on Discord: https://www.patreon.com/Squarebased *OLD WORLD RESOURCES* ► *Old World Rankings (Past and Upcoming Old World Events:* https://oldworldrankings.com/ *MERCH*   https://thehonestwargamer.com/product-category/square-based/ ► *Square Based Comp AND Tournament Packs*    https://thehonestwargamer.com/warhammer-the-old-world/square-based-comp/ ► *The Square Based FAQ:* https://www.squarebased.com/faqs ► *The Renegade Legacy Pack:*  https://www.squarebased.com/ ► *Our 500pt Foray Pack:* https://thehonestwargamer.com/warhammer-the-old-world-500-point-foray/ ► *Old World Army Builder:* https://old-world-builder.com/ ► *Old World Rules Wiki:* https://tow.whfb.app/ Youtube Music Playlist for Audio Only:  https://tinyurl.com/SB-YouTube-Music-Playlist Podcast on all other Platforms:  https://squarebasedpodcast.podbean.com/ #squarebased #warhammertheoldworld #warhammerfantasy
