wayniac Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 This looks interesting if it's like a supplement to have campaigns, which the article seems to indicate. I have wanted to do a map campaign but I'm not sure how to really do one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PraetorDragoon Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 As far as I understand that article, this isn't a summer campaign like the Seaons of War was, but an expansion that gives you board, tokens and rules for your own board-based campaigns?

chord Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Awesome! Although not sure I would buy any just based on what I have and what I want. Now just re-release the Citadel Mighty Fortress so the forces of Order have something to defend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuneBrush Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Quite excited by this! I've always loved a map based campaign 14 minutes ago, pseudonyme said: Are they "mixed" factions boxes? Very much so - they're all an order faction plus Stormcast. Wonder what battalion we're getting for them - and if there are more? It makes sense to imagine we'll be seeing "besiegers of the great cities"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pseudonyme Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Yes, I saw that with a better resolution and zoom 5 minutes ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonzai Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I was working on my own map campaign. If GW goes full into one, then I don't have to. This has me excited! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wraith01 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 So cool! Looking forward to playing this. Though, I wonder how much it'll cost? For example: Path to Glory solo book was way over priced, but AoS Skirmish had a fair price and apparently they are keeping the new Generals Handbook at a decent price point.

wayniac Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 From what GW said in reply to something I posted, this is not a new global campaign like Season of War, it's a supplement for AOS to run narrative map campaigns, basically an AOS version of Mighty Empires, I guess. If those boxes have battalions, I doubt they'll have points as this seems clearly geared towards Narrative play, so it's likely we won't see many things for Matched Play.

stato Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 So its going to be an actual thing, a book, as opposed to just some boxed sets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both, I think probably a boxed set with a book for running campaigns, a map of some sort for territories, tokens for territories. It's an "expansion" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greyshadow Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 I must say I totally dig the new box art and design. I've never been sold on the plain white look of Age of Sigmar. The black on gold is much more evocative. Is this the new design? If it is, great but I do think they could do even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacDuff Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 It's what's inside the box that counts. I got a kick out of the Hammerhal one; it's like they are bringing the city guard part of the SOH game story to life. But what is the line of troops in the bottom right carrying? Crossbows? Guns?

The Hammerhal boxed set has: 10 Freeguild Guard 10 Freeguild Handgunners/Xbows 3 Demigryph Knights Freeguild Generals Boxed Set (Makes 2) Celestial Hurricanum 10 Liberators Lord Castellant So I guess you're talking about the Freeguild Guard in this case.

Guest Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 I love everything about this, but especially the fact that it might encourage people to mix up their factions a bit more when there's an opportunity for an appropriate theme. Also great to see some of the neglected 'legacy' units getting some proper attention. Sadly I can't afford any of these new boxes and have way too much to paint already, but if I could I think I'd go for Anvilgard and really push the nautical theme.

stato Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 1 hour ago, Double Misfire said: Greywater Fastness allegiance pls There should be an Ironweld allegiance, or at least battalions. I want an Ironweld air wing, 5 gyrocopters or bombers, the batallion would cost 0pts (so the total was 400pt meaning it could be taken as an allied detachment), the warscroll would contain no rules and instead just contain the score to Ride of the Valkyries :0) I'll take the Tempest's Eye for now though.

cb_rex Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 This seems pretty cool although I'm pretty confused about what it is. When I first skim read the Warhammer Community article I was under the impression it was going to be a Mighty Empires type tile based campaign set but after reading it properly it comes across more like another Season of War campaign like last summer. Having said that the army boxes do look good, it's nice to see the Freeguild get a bit of love. I wonder if we'll see any more of these mixed faction bundle boxes for the other alliances.

It's not a new season of war campaign I can see why it would be confusing though, because they do mention 'Season of War'. As I now understand it, this isn't another global campaign in the style of Season of War, but instead a campaign system that progresses the narrative that started in Season of War.
