Garxia Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Looks like we have a new game based in AoS setting coming, and its targeted for competitive play! This is a new game, set in the Mortal Realms during the Age of Sigmar. It has been designed specifically for competitive, organised play, to support our growing community of gamers out there. For the moment, pretty much all we have in terms of detail is the cryptic video above, but you’ll be hearing much more about this new game, and seeing some of the new miniatures, very soon… It's all semi - hidden at the end of this article: https://www.warhammer-community.com/2017/03/15/a-new-race-descends-on-the-mortal-realms/ Colour me interested...

shinros Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 As I said in the rumor thread Calling it now it's going to be death related in some form if it is I will buy it and it's most likely going to be a new mordheim of sorts. Hell it's got underworlds in the title and nagash literally lives in the underworld. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galas Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 I think that the pick with the nagash face in rock its related to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chikout Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 This will be one of the things they show off at adepticon. It will be a tough act to beat the Duardin but I am really looking forward to what they show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veterannoob Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 I expect more next month. April showers (of duardin) bring May flowers (of....aelves?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gauche Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Very interested in this product above all others. GW has never made a competitively focused game and this goes against their previous stance of being a miniatures company first (in a good way). Hopefully this game will encourage more growth among players with the same mindset as me and AoS can continue its path. Hard to force one game down multiple paths.

Sharkbelly Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 What with the new dwarves, the Necromunda reboot, and now this, it is going to be an expensive summer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamopower Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 I would guess that this is something akin to X-wing. So you have a small table/mat, few minis and few cards. Perfect for small tournaments in stores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to be just a bit careful with it. If it's something like mordheim or even like a guildball type deal that would be amazing. If it's a rank/file combat game...meh, won't effect me at all, if it ends up as something too similar to normal sigmar matched play but...wordier, it'll be a problem.

Lucio Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 I'm hoping this'll be a Mordheim-esque game intended to fit into the same gameplay niche as Heroclix, Infinity and to a lesser extent Warmachine. Handful of models per game with a progressive release and update Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caffran101 Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 The fact they are claiming it to have "organised play" makes me think this will be some sort of AoS based Hearthstone style card game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DynamicCalories Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Shadespire makes me think of Dawnspire, which in turn suggests Dark Aelves... versus Death or Slaanesh perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Taylor Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Excited about this. Also thinking that "Shadow Aelf" picture we saw on the GW Community site a couple of weeks ago is linked to this..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jgroover Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 The hex-shape on the logo makes me think it is going to be something with grid-based movement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DantePQ Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 I also think it could be Shadowkin vs Death for the start, also makes sense lore wise that Nagash can have a problem with Malerion. That would leave Tyrion's Elves vs Slaasnesh (as twins were the ones who captured him as I remember correctly) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Durant Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 From Warhammer community it might be related, also the uderworlds is not one it is plurar It might be Mordheim alike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfect for small tournaments in stores. This is exactly my hunch too. It will be a skirmish game but never as we have seen it before. The battlemat will be the last rumour we saw, the most recent rumour is also likely terrain and the old rumour of "Death WHQ" probably stems from this too. I am massively excited. A small scale but incredibly tactical game is a fascinating idea and something I have always wanted to design myself. Elements of a CCG meets something like X-wing as you say. It could have list building, deck building, and dice and miniatures as we love. So so excited! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wraith01 Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 I'm crazy to find out more. But what I'd like it to be is a Mordheim type game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dez Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 I'm wondering why Matched Play was picked out in particular, really intrigued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps this allows both itches to be scratched, as then the tournament guys who love the competition and mechanics but aren't too fussed about the hobby can get on and just game - low model count etc, whilst at the same time, if they feel there is a cool model for AoS they can just buy it because it's cool and not feel they have to over analyse.
