It presumes GW’s new rules are enjoyable to play. If they are (as seems to be likely) some “greatest hits” version of previous editions then colour me uninterested. WHFB was OK in its day (pre-2000) but it hasn’t aged well, and nowadays the mechanics seem positively antedeluvian. Normally games are all about the models for me, but again unless they bring back the lovely characterful metals (which is not going to happen) I’m not interested there either. Overly-complex computer-sculpted plastics a-la their current offerings for AoS or 40k leave me cold. The only bit that piques my interest is the fluff. I always quite liked WFB fluff, so seeing more of that published in Black Library or White Dwarf could see me part with some money. Otherwise than that, I’m done with the Old World.
