Sharkbelly Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 That's great news. Too bad the price is cut off at the bottom of the picture... I am glad to see the continued support. Will future offerings be along this line, or will we see another box set next summer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacDuff Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 This is excellent news and a sign of ongoing GW support. I just feel sorry for those folks on this site who put so much effort into crafting home brewed ones. :o( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkbelly Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 The newer, friendlier GW seems to be MUCH more responsive to fan interest. I wonder if fans creating their own adversaries encouraged this release... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOtherJosh Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 I’m all over these like stink on a monkey ... (and if you’ve ever been to the Zoo you know those monkeys are pretty stinky ...) So known new adversaries include: Nurglings Skaven Clanrats Bloodletters Chaos Warriors Chaos Marauders Skullreapers (from the card pics) Boss Types: Chaos Lords Grey Seers Skaven Warlord (from the card pics) Known Old cards: Chaos Sorcerer Bloodreavers And we will get cards for adversaries that already exist, to make it easier to use the original adversaries (instead of needing to make our own).

Interesting though that only chaos asversaries are in this pack The chaos adversaries are in line with the adversaries from both Hammerhal and Silver Tower. The only non-chaos adversaries in the official WHQ sets (so far) have been the Grot Scuttlings. (Which only exist in the Silver Tower set.) I’d be up for Some Destruction and Death ... Both would be great for re-making the original WHQ expansions. The Shadows over Hammerhal is very much a “order against chaos” feel. While it could be played with chaos/death or destruction heroes... it doesn’t have quite the same vibe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greasygeek Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Its gonna be really interesting to see how these new adversaries will balance. Many of the heroes from the hero pack was so badly balanced that they seemed untested to be honest. Most ST and SOH games begame very easy if one or more players picked their hero from the hero pack. By any luck some of these adversaries might tip the scales back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkbelly Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Which ones did you find were overpowered? Just curious. I hope that when we eventually see Destruction and Death, they will have their own campaigns. :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrAiKo Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Really looking forward to these. It was the old WHQ bestiary that sparked my interest in collecting a wide range of miniatures from different armies. Now here’s a way to put them to use again. Do you think these will be able to just be used to randomize in place of an adversary table? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacDuff Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 I am planning on doing that. Who knows what scum lurks in the Silver Tower or under Hammerhal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that when we eventually see Destruction and Death, they will have their own campaigns. :-D The Bloodstoker in particular was eventually banned from my group as he was way too overpowered but in general we found out that many of the heroes from the hero pack were able to remove so many adversaries every turn that very often there would be none or very few left for the adversary phase. Some of the heroes instead were so tanky that only in the most extreme of situations in the ST or at the deepest levels of SOH did adversaries present any real danger. As a result the heroes only ever lost to very bad luck. Not all of these are OP but those are the heroes we have played more or less on a regular in my group: - Knight Questor: (achieved a 2+ save that he could reroll during SOH that killed some exitement after he singlehanded killed off 10 reavers, 10 acolytes and 3 blightkings. - Necromancer: vulnerable to melee but is very often able to use skelleton meatshields to block off all adversaries. - Skaven Warlord, Grey Seer, Wight King, Lore Master, Doomseeker, Lord Celestant, Mistweaver Saih, Assassin, Tenebrael Shard, Excelsior Warrior Priest, Cogsmith, Blood Secretor, Bloodstoker, Plague Lord.

Zerthin Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 41 and Chaos so let's start counting: Silver Tower: 1. Gaunt Summoner 2. Ogroid Thaumaturge 3. Skaven Deathrunner 3. Tzaangors 4. Horrors (1 or 3 cards) 5. Kairic Acolytes 6. Screamers of Tzeentch 7. Flamers of Tzeentch 8. Exalted Flamer of Tzeentch 9. Herald of Tzeentch Shadows over Hammerhal: 10. Chaos Sorcerer Lord 11. Putrid Bightkings 12. Bloodreavers 13. Blood Warriors 14. Wrathmongers 15. Tzaangor Skyfires 16. Plaguebearers From White Dwarf: 17. Tzaangor Enlightened Leaked from White Dwarf: 18. Nurglings 19. Skullreapers 20. Skaven Warlord 21. Clanrats 22. Bloodletters 23. Chaos Warriors 24. Marauders 25. Chaos Lord 26. Grey Seer From Warhammer Community post: 27. Lord of Plagues Probably (also from post): 28. Exalted Deathbringer 29. 30. 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. That leaves 13 positions. Let's assume models cannot be on bases bigger than 50mm (given Ogroid). All models so far have been plastic. That leaves us with (in no particular order): -Stormvermin -Bloodsecrator -Bloodstoker -Bullgors -Bestigors -Gors -Ungors -Great Bray-Shaman -Rat Ogres -Plague Monks -Night Runners -Slaughterpriest (x2?) -Skullgrinder -Skarr Bloodwrath -Aspiring Deathbringer -Deamonettes -Gutrot Spume -Darkoath Chieftain -Slambo ( =P ) Some choices like Night Runners, Rat Ogres, Gutrot Spume or Slambo are probably not going to get in. Some like Exalted Deathbringer may take 2 cards (because there are 2 different models) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. White Posted November 7, 2017 Author Share Posted November 7, 2017 I hope Chaos Spawn are included. Those look fun to paint and a couple shambling and shuffling down the halls of the Silver Tower would be neat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking of trying to add particular Shadespire warbands into WHQ anyway, so this also gives me a good reason to revisit my previous efforts!
