Looks like another awesome value box ala the KT set. The Unmade leader doesn't need to get on top of the walls - she has stilts for that very reason!

Overread Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 22 minutes ago, Percivael said: I really don’t think this is a game designed to lead into Slaves of Darkness any more than Necromunda is just to get people to collect Hive Militia armies. This is a stand alone game with custom designed miniatures and rule set. Not a couple of dozen existing miniatures thrown in a box with new terrain a la Killteam. The warbands may very well get warscrolls like Underworlds teams but I doubt very much they will expand any of these into an army. Thing is Hive armies aren't really a thing in 40K and the Necromunda models are designed very differently to your typical guardsman. In contrast the Warcry Warbands are built just like regular Slaves models with the only exception that they are a little more character heavy and have a physically larger leader model in most. However if you look at Slaves, whilst the mortals currently field in fairly big numbers, Chaos Warriors are very expensive and fielded in far smaller quantities. Heck even just 5 Chaos warriors are 90 points which is about half the size of most other troops. So the army could easily take roaming varied warbands joining in. Still its going to be a good week before we really know what the details are for Warcry - and possibly longer before we see how it integrates with AoS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't really agree with that. My impression of the Slaves to Darkness range - from marauders to knights/warriors to varanguard they're all chunky heavy hitters. Nothing like most of Warcry. The only similarity is the (much more recent) Darkoath models (Warqueen, Chieftan and Underworlds) which could be their own distinctive Warcry wrestling team. I think Khorne Bloodbound could be a Warcry wresting team too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did we ever get any additional rumors for that? They said that every Grand alliance would get at at least one battletome from Warhammer fest till the end of the year which mean there should be one for death in the woodwork. What it going to be is anyone’s guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still-young Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 I’m surprised there’s any extra warbands coming alongside the starter. I assumed they’d want to spread them out a bit. Keeps interest up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shankelton Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 (edited) Interesting how much info they are releasing now, and promising to release over the coming week. That means a lot of time we had budgeted for warcry on the upcoming open day is now totally open. Hopefully that means more AoS stuff and a deluge of battletome stuff!

There's a lot of plastic in there, especially with all the terrain, so my guess is the same as starter box: 95£/160$US, or maybe a little bit more considering the recent price increase.

michu Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 From what I gathered it's something inbetween KT and Necromunda. Now I just have to wait for skaven rules (maybe in WD?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lernaean Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Great! I wasn’t sure about the starter, and now knowing you can buy everything separately, from rulebook to ruler, I’m ready to invest on a couple of warbands, the rulebook and some more things.

Overread Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 That is one epic boxed set - and the campaign rules that allow random matches to form a singleplayer warband campaign is a VERY neat idea. No DM, no need for fixed play teams - it really could be a big turning point for pushing narrative games if GW make it work well. I'm guessing £100 at the very least and that's being super generous - £120 to £150 would be my guess at the price range for the set based on the number of models and terrain and book and such. I'm also betting it sells out pretty fast so I think pre-ordering is going to be a must on this one. A shame we aren't getting all the not-core-set warbands at launch, but we are still getting 3 of the 6 released so that's a good chunk of the game right out the door. Cardpacks for the other 9 armies are going to be interesting and I'll want to grab the daughters of khaine one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nighthaunt Noob Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Is Legions of Nagash the missing 9th non-Chaos faction from before? That seems...odd that they didn't include it with the others initially. I wonder if it was a timing of release issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overread Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 "Each set contains an abilities card, plus fighter cards for every model you can use in these warbands." From the store page, so it sounds like each warband will have individual stats and then a single card (maybe more) of faction abilities. Much like how it works for Battletomes right now. Will be interesting to see how they handle magic effects for the game and spells; could be the small size of warbands limits it to warscroll spells only or might be mages aren't allowed etc... I'd guess somewhere in the £10 region for the card packs - maybe scaling depending on army size (much like how warscroll packs can cost more for bigger armies). Also interesting to see 2 destruction forces in there which don't have battletomes for 2.0. Might be a hint as to what is to come "soon" from GW.
