There's nothing quite so alluring to your average Warhammer player as something that used to be available and now isn't. Armies originally discontinued due to lack of interest build up a new mystique that eventually has the community begging for their return. Previously, that kind of revival has been rare, but the 2020s seem to be the era of Games Workshop diving back into the archives and giving those never-forgotten factions a second chance.
The Old World—Games Workshop's revival of Warhammer Fantasy—launched with two 'lost' armies, Bretonnians and Tomb Kings, for maximum nostalgia value. Over in Warhammer 40,000, the infamous "Squats" (space dwarves) returned as the Leagues of Votann. Now, Age of Sigmar has its own blast from the past, with the revival of the Chaos Dwarfs.
