Percivael Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Agreed. Not convinced by this. Also the cover has a Slaughter Priest on it but he isn't listed. And £90 for 30 miniatures we've seen before seems overly expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is definitely coming out soon as it is in next months white dwarf. what everyone has been calling a slaughter priest looks much more like a reaver champion to me. They are using the same sprues from the box sets so having sets of 5 and 10 makes sense. The user on Dakka typed it up themselves (possibly from an order sheet which retailers would be getting about now) so that explains the spelling mistake. The minis cost about £130 individually so it is a discount. There are also 5 more board tiles in the new box. Of course I would love more minis and a lower price but I expect this to turn out to be true. Edited February 13, 2017 by Chikout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'll wait for something official. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bottle Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 He's a GW stockist, (also at Mongoose Publishing) and is the "hobby hero" Heelanhammer interviewed. Basically a good character and not the sort to spread a rumour or false information. I would take that as the real contents for the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just looked at the picture again and you may be right about the reaver champion. The presence of a double handed meat ripper axe would suggest it is a not the AoS starter set Blood Reavers but 10 of the 20 in a box ones. I still think it's a tad expensive though, if this leak is correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would take that as the real contents for the game if it's legit, I really think it looks like a misstep for the WQ franchise. They could have spent the development time on a rulebook for incorporating all sorts of already existing miniatures into the game instead - no need to repack a bunch of miniatures. And the fact that these heroes already have rules for the original ST is a development decision i just cannot understand. A big part of the appeal of ST was the setting and the preview of things to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chikout Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Miniwars eu just posted that this week's preorders are the Lord aquilor for €32 (same price as the azyros) the palladors on gryph chargers for €45(same price as the blight kings. They did not mention the contents but I assume it is 3) and shadows over Hammerhal for €120, which lines up with the leaked uk price.

bottle Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 I think the new WHQ will be a worthwhile addition. Indeed it appeals to me more as I would prefer generic dungeon tiles over the Tzeentchy ones in ST. I have no qualms to adapting a system with homebrew rules, especially one with a Game Master! I really want to pick this up but I have so many projects on the go currently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kisada11 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Did silver tower also require a DM? I saw some people playing at my local GW and it didn't seem like one of them was a DM. That really ruins it for me. Also not a fan of the minis included. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah for me the ONLY disappointing thing for a new WHQ is no new figures but realistically would a new WHQ be out at all if they did new figures? Would that impact releases and work elsewhere?

Chikout Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 It is clear that this box is a reaction to the success of silver tower. I don't think this product was Greenlit until after silver tower was released. 9 months is a very fast turnaround. Sculpting a bunch of new mini's would delay the release for at least a year. Looking around the Internet last year, the chief complaints about silver tower were the overly specific tiles, the lack of a proper campaign element and the slightly dragged out Ai phase. The box seems explicitly designed to answer those complaints. If they listened to people's complaints last time I hope they listen to my upcoming slew of emails asking for a card only version of this game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A more generic and versatile dungeon crawler will be cool. I hear eBay will be doing a card only version!? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DynamicCalories Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 If those are the contents that is both expected and a little disappointing, only 3 types of enemy sounds a little dull after the new stuff in Silver Tower, but also understandable given the rapid turn around. I will probably buy it for the Sorcerer Lord and Blightkings, and the opportunity to paint some extra new stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turragor Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 I hope they get good feedback again. I always die a little inside when I see companies responding to specific customer feedback and just getting shat on because it's not the holy grail. I mean, I don't feel sorry for companies, that's nonsense. Stupid capitalism. I just feel that frustration at the average internet rabble that haunts my working days. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulsmith Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Wow, that's a real shame. Still, if anyone wants to offload the acolytes and sorceror lord. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb_rex Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 If this rumour is true then the quality of this set really lies in which Bloodreavers and Kairic Acolytes are included. If they are the Easy Build/Starter set Bloodreavers and the same Kairic Acolyte models you get in Silver Tower, then it will be a real shame for existing collectors. However if they are the main release Bloodreavers with the big axe options and and the new Kairic Acolytes, that be really cool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SadGlad Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 (edited) I hope you can play the new WHQ without a DM just like ST because I know I have to be the DM otherwise oh, is the Chaos Sorcerer Lord the same one as in the Arcane Hero Box?
