Percivael Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 The value of the starter box is insane. It’ll be £80 from a discounter like Element Games. I considered getting a gang, the book and some cards instead, but to be honest once you’ve bought 1 more warband, you’ll have spent more than the starter box (essentially getting the scenery, board and tokens for free) and I’d kick myself for not getting it. Plus the Iron Golems are favourites anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandlemad Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 If anyone hasn't already, you should listen to the latest Stormcast podcast. It's an interview with Maxime Pastourel where he discusses the ideas, background and concept work behind Warcry. Some of the rules too, vaguely. Lots of very interesting stuff, for example some broad thoughts about how these guys relate to the chaos gods and their more obvious followers (visually and culturally) and how the Eightpoints 'work' as a home of roving warbands, shanty towns, shrines and camps. In this case it's some thought on how all these different warbands from all over the realms, all feeling the call of Archaon, interact outside of combat in those tense neutral zones or temporary peaces, e.g. the Iron Golems make the most prized weapons,, the Untamed Beasts provide the meat, the Corvus Cabal act as spies, etc. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlatTooth Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 I can’t believe how often it needs to be said on this forum. You cannot define what is too pricey for someone and you really shouldn’t be making people feel bad for not having money to throw at a fancy board game. We cannot know each other’s lived experiences. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acid_Nine Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 So pictures of the sprues came out and I am dissapointed by the untamed beasts. not angry, not upset, just dissapointed that it's fixed sculpts with fixes weapons. Ah well, If I really want to redo it I guess I will have to convert my stuff. The warcard sheet looks a little confusing, but I like how they use pictures to make it easier to translate and to understand. It still looks fun though, and I cannot wait to pick it up!

MitGas Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 (edited) At around minute 44 they talk about how the Cypher Lords are pretty much Tzeentch-aligned (as if the helmets and eyes didn't give that away already) and would later on probably become Kairic Acolytes. Not sure if that is much of an upgrade though. Cool vi with lots of info on the warbands... Edited July 16, 2019 by MitGas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For better or worse, most of GW's newer stuff is mono-pose. Sometimes we see kits with lots of options and variant builds (like Troggoths) other times we see whole factions that are almost 100% monopose (like Nighthaunt). That days of 10 part fully customizable space marines is slowly becoming history. We get more dynamic, more interesting sculpts, at the cost of customization. I welcome the few kits that are exceptions. At least with small warbands, you can do a bit of conversion work. without having to convert a whole army. As for the stats and cards.... I agree. The graphic design is confusing. Having to cross reference symbols between different sources is a strange design choice. Hopefully it just takes some getting used to, but I can't help to feel that they could have been much clearer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabotage! Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 I saw someone mention the Fkeah Wound mechanic and how it is kind of clunky in KT (and I agree with this statement). It looks like Warcry is skipping that whole thing with models having various wounds and weapons having different amounts of damage (which sounds much better to me).

The heads seem relatively easy to swap though, which I definitely am (steel helmets and bone weapons? come on). 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a multipla you’d have to pay me the 1K. But I think the point was not if it’s objectively worth the money. But about not judging others for expressing its too expensive for them. It’s subjective. The car might be cheap at 1k but if you don’t have a license it doesn’t add 1k it value to you. Or the starter set might be objectively a good deal. But if I don’t like painting and nobody will play Warcry against me... it won’t add €130 worth of value to me. But yes objectively it seems good value to me as well 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreadmund Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Compared to other comparable products, it seems to be good value. There's nothing wrong with not having enough disposable income to afford something, even if it is good value. I'm in a privileged position in my life right now to be able to afford it. A few years ago I would never have dreamed of getting something like this. It's a luxury item. I don't think anyone was judging or looking down on people who can't afford a starter set, but it's equally as silly to complain about the price just because it doesn't meet your circumstances right now. Seems to me like a case of people reading negative intentions into comments where it wasn't intended. Internet be like that sometimes. A lot of people feel on guard all the time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillagoreFaceslasha Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 This is making the rounds around the net And I can't help but feel ADB did quite a misstep. Sure, it's 'joking' but about half our group is going to jump using their pre-existing armies ( twp IJ , DoK, two SCE, and NH). Am I supposed to even think that half the playerbase is doing it wrong? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly wouldn't worry about it. Considering as well that he then jokes about being instantly converted to WAAAGHcry, it's definitely got no nastiness to it. That list of units looks pretty plausible. If it's real, I'm glad that the stormcast involvement is limited to the vanguard units, more thematically appropriate to the Eightpoints. Not 100% on the Akhelian though, feels a bit odd for their floaty magic to work in the heart of the Eightpoints and for them to be the only real (squigs don't count) cavalry in the game. You know, you could pick up a decent nighthaunt warband on ebay for not much more than £10, I think. Bits and pieces of soul wars, a few glaivewraiths and reapers. It's tempting.
