Killax Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 In addition the Sleeves are up too:https://www.games-workshop.com/en-NZ/Wh-uw-Steelhearts-Champions-Sleeves-2017https://www.games-workshop.com/en-NZ/Wh-Underworlds-Garreks-Reavers-Sleeves-2017 Really like that GW has specifically designed the product to work with it all. One small downside, there isn't any additional card in it for the decks so don't rip your sleeves! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheriff Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 So its just one warscroll for the new new models, not several. Shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the same Warscroll as the regular units. What helps is you are well set up for AoS Skirmish due to mixed weaponry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDM Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 (edited) Little bit disappointed about the 8 factions in the book if they are the only ones (although it may be they are just mentioning some, or the next factions after that are in another warhammer underworld expansion). I thought when I heard them say they play tested relentlessly that they meant like 15-20 factions not 8!! So a bit disappointed but now they know what balances they can add more easily later i suppose Edited October 15, 2017 by CDM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sete Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 I'm pretty sure more factions have been playtested. GW just keeps everything under secret. I for one welcome our new shadespire overlords, and I am super excited to see brand new factions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOtherJosh Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 (edited) FYI: My local GW (USA) has “Full Art Cards” for the Stormcast and Bloodbound faction units for folks pre-ordering/purchasing Shadespire in Store. (Limited to while supplies last most likely.) So remember to ask if your store has them when preordering or ordering.

VBS Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Dunno if already posted somewhere, but warband will be 22,50 EUR. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

someone2040 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 I have to say, I'm mildly disappointed at the costing of the warbands for ANZ. Every other currency gets them at 50% core set cost or below. To me, that's the price point that makes sense. The core set comes with 2 warbands + the stuff you need to play the game, so of course, it should cost at least double the price of one warband right? Especially since all the miniatures will be of the same quality. There's no longer the excuse of marking up individual kits because you can 'customize' them compared to the push-fit single pose models in starters. There's also the fact that in AUD, it costs a $50 to buy one.Psychologically, it feels like being $50 pushes it just outside the impulse buy or 'collect them all' territory. If it was a fiver less, I don't think I'd be having these feelings, it'd be less than 50% of the price of the core set and below that $50 threshold.

Xasz Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 (edited) I cannot recommend the GW sleeves. They are too short and too tight. The top of the card either peaks out of the sleeve or is way to close to the entrance. (even if you press the card all the way down) Because of that, the sleeve cannot close itself and dirt can easily enter and/or the card will be damage over time. FFG's or other 3rd party sleeves should work better, are cheaper and you get extra sleeves. Later is another big minus for GW sleeves, there are no spares whatsoever and you'll need them sooner or later.

BrAiKo Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 While I agree the sleeves are very snug all around, they otherwise seem to be very good quality both in look and feel. The designs on the reverse are fantastic and customized not only for the warband itself but for each of the power/obj decks as well. I will be continuing to buy them for other warbands. Time will tell whether the tight fit could warp the cards or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time will tell whether the tight fit could warp the cards or not. Valid points, but doesn't matter if the sleeve doesn't perform its main objective at all. Furthermore, it shouldn't be forgotten that sleeves are wear parts and you'll have to replace them in the not so distant future, but I knew what I signed up for regarding extra-sleeves and GW. 1 hour ago, Charles said: That’s a shame I ordered both of them.

Either way, I'll not buy them again. (Shuffling is smooth tho). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnelian Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 I am not so fussed about dirt but more about just stopping the edges of the cards getting frayed so it sounds like they'll do the job I need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killax Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Frankly speaking I think its less of an issue. Though Ive gotten custom to lower card quality from GW. Objective cards and the like are also often slightly damaged out of the pack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killax Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Im still waiting for the second copy to arrive. Planning to go and test the mirror matches asap. It's also for me and my friends to test out the multiplayer variant, which I think can be really nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
