Ogregut Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 We'll find out tomorrow, I hope we get a AoS preview. We have a fair good idea whats coming for 40k but after broken realms we know nothing for AoS. Exciting times for AoS going into the unknown! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overread Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 I suspect we'll get all the preview info tomorrow at the normal reveal time for next weeks pre-orders and Warhammer Day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gotz Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 I think everything is fairly set up until the end of the year, so I wouldn't expect another preview until New Years Open Day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleeperAgent Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 A surprise reveal of "Vampire Army" being up for pre-order on Halloween would be most welcome. DON'T FAIL ME NOW GW!!! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sleboda Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 I can't help but feel that Catacombs should be an expansion pack. $237USD for something that most Warcry gamers already own a large chunk of makes it very off-putting for existing players, and at that price is hard to call it a starter set. Fingers crossed that the warbands, new dungeon accessories ("scenery" that you can't really use in any other setting), and Catacombs book will be available on their own in a few months. I'll maybe pick up the board pack in the mean time. Maybe not. $55 is right on the edge. Likely I'll just skip it entirely and just pick up the Scions for regular Warcry games far down the road. Bummer, really. Was very much looking forward to this. Pre-covid I might have seen it on display in a store and been pulled into an impulse buy. Now, with the risks and lockdowns (yeah, I know, America ...), I won't have that exposure, so I'll wait. Very interested to read about others peoples' experiences, though! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very interested to read about others peoples' experiences, though! its 210 USD, 237 is the set with the novel included. it sucks that it both more expensive and some what less content then the previous starter set, it also not helping that the new warband boxes are $10 more then the previous ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, it looks like a steal compared to the megagargants. At roughly 10% more, you do get way, way more than just the one model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greyshadow Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 At $350 AUD, this Catacombs set is eye wateringly expensive here in Australia. Compare the model count and value with the Soulwars box set and this set doesn’t come off too favourably. The terrain looks okay but some of it looks a bit goofy so I don’t think that will be a huge draw card. I definitely think that some will get $350+ worth of fun out of it but the price point won’t do its popularity any favours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just saw the price, even purchasing from Independants its looking to cost about $280. I'm moving back home just before it launches so I'll miss the £90ish price I'd get it for in the UK and would have to settle for roughly £155., ouch. My wife really wanted us to get into warcry but this has basically ended that dream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greybeard86 Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 I wish they would integrate the warbands better into AoS, since I hear every season they are retired? I loved the wild hunt sculpts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved the wild hunt sculpts! Nope the warbands remain part of AoS. Though some of the earlier ones were a bit fiddly to use in that you end up with 5 or so characters to control; some like the new DoK band you have one leader and then a simpler guard of the rest of the characters, which makes them more practical to control in AoS games. The retirement is more related to cards per edition of Underworlds itself (a bit of a fussy area because GW doesn't make the cards universally accessible and many unique ones are sold in unit packs rather than generic packs so its a bit of a mess - a bit like more cards for GW games ;P) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alghero81 Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Price discussion aside what stings me is that the Catacombs expansion book is not available outside of the box yet. When they launched the last starter set the core book was available separately. So as it stands I cannot play “dungeon rules” unless I read the transcribed rules online when they will be available or buy this box... Let’s hope in Broken Realms and see what the future is for the main game 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
