I think part of it is if a large percentage of the models can be used in Age of Sigmar then no army at the moment for the Old World. Skaven still use the same minis from Warhammer Fantasy in Age of Sigmar. Lizardmen got a range refresh but my understanding is, unlike cities of Sigmar, they are like for like (skink for skink). I presume Chaos in Age of Sigmar has older models kicking around in it as well. It is also my understanding that a lot of minis outside the starter sets for The Old World are going to be Games Workshop direct only.

I think every year we’ll see a book or two of extra armies from the dead list. Firstly to show the game’s not dead. Secondly as minis are shunted out of Age of Sigmar and into GW’s recycle bin. Thirdly need to sell more stuff.

So next Christmas expect Rumblings Up North as Chaos, Chaos Dwarves and the Norse appear and Kislev rides out or AOS Skaven evolve and the old models are flushed down the sewers into the Old World for Trouble Down Below as the ratmen appear, the dead walk and the Border Princes start fielding Dogs of War. The 3rd expansion might be Far Expeditions with the Norse upsetting Cathy and the Lizardmen.
