Warhammer: The Old World
The Old World revives the classic Warhammer Fantasy setting with ranked regiments, tile-based movement, and the Old World map. It uses the legacy 28mm fantasy scale, making it compatible with decades of classic Citadel miniatures alongside new releases.
Scale Details
The Old World deliberately returns to 28mm scale for its new plastic kits, matching the original Warhammer Fantasy range. This is smaller than Age of Sigmar's 32mm, so mixing the two ranges on the same table produces a visible size difference.

3D Printing Tips for Old World
Ranked regiment models work best printed in batches with consistent layer heights. 0.4mm nozzle at 0.08mm layers balances speed and detail for infantry blocks. Character models and unit champions benefit from 0.2mm nozzle at 0.06mm. Cavalry and chariots print well at 45° angle to minimize support scarring on horses.
