smartazjb0y Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Damn so double sprues confirmed! Let’s also hope that price is confirmed, I think it was $65 which is great compared to the normal Warcry Warband being $50 by itself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overread Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Double warbands is great and makes them out to be a nice "half full unit" each doublebox and hopefully with discount. That's great news! Also it seems that yes, Slaves Endless Spells ARE spikes. All are very spiky! Looking like a great boom for the end of the year with a lot of solid releases!

Pariah Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 So how are the warcry warbands supposed to be run? Are we going to be able to put multiple leader models into big units? Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though its still a discount from retail that's extreme considering the Feast of Bones price on Element Games. Though I'd wager those boxes might shift fairly fast, actually surprised they've still got them unless its stock people don't realise they are holding. Our FLGS has about 5 lying around and sold them for 20% of black friday (weekend). And that's the second store I saw them lying around. Curious to see how well they actually sold.

That's great news! I am interested in the rules since not every Warband has the same amount of models, also there are one or two more warbands missing 🤔. 65$ is great if you don‘t have to buy a Warband box twice.

Overread Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 The rules are already on the GW webstore for the warcry warbands - havebeen since they launched. You can check them out right now. Basically each warband has a few unique models per number value to build them up - these just increase. So an Untamed full warband will have 4 spear and 4 lions and 4 big leader guys. Heck even regular unit leaders just have +1 attacks most times. They are very neatly statted to work - they basically replace marauders on foot with some basic themes. I predict Iron Golems will be very popular as they've the best overall armour of them all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drcrater Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Chaos Lord: To versions: big blade and sword or big blade and flail. the big blade is 3 attacks +3/+3 -2 2 damage, the sword 3 attacks 3+/3+ -1 1 damage and the flail are 6 attacks 4+/4+, -2, 1 damage. He has the traditional mark of the gods habilities with natural 6 to hit with the big blade it deals 1 extra mortal wound I can't read properly his command hability, but basically it allows one slaves to darkness unit to fight one extra time during combat phase or something on those lines. 2 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmac Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 I was hoping they'd say more about the Warcry book, given that they've said absolutely nothing about it so far other than it existing. Mostly I'm keen to see if they're finally adding more playable warbands, the intersection between armies I play and legal to play in Warcry is almost nil so far and it's annoying.

Oneiros Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Hi there! Let me translate you what I'm able to see in the spanish Chaos Lord warscroll card. You have to choose one of the three different weapons: Reaper blade, deamonbound steel and deamonbound flail (in that orden of apearance in the stats). Deamonbound weapon. If the unmodified hit roll for an attack made is 6, that attack inflicts 1 mortal wound on the target in addition to any normal damage. Sorry but the command ability is to small to guess!! 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know these but I hoped they‘d be streamlined for the game-flow‘s sake. I expect sth. Like this (only one melee weapon) melee Weapon: Gladiator weapons: -Some Values- special rule: as long as -Model with Weapon- is alive on a unmodified hit/wound roll of 6 the Unit causes „Add rule fitting for the adequate warband‘s special weapon here“ this Warband can have one leader per 16/18/20 models. —-> less special models.

CDM Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Really looking forward to the two other warcry warband as well released in this manner. The spire tyrants are gonna look great as cultists for an ever chosen themed StoD army. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overread Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 @JackStreicher the rules are pretty much like that. https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls//ENG_Warcry_AoS_Warscroll_UntamedBeasts.pdf There's the Untamed Beasts. 2 weapons of which one is the ranged spear (so only applies to 1 in every 9 models). The "leader" models get one extra attack; the rocktusk cats are the same just with an extra wound and the spear unit has a regular close combat weapon and the spear. All very streamlined and simple. The unit is based out of blocks of 9 models (how many come in a box) and its upper limit is 36 models (ergo 2 of the new boxes). Points 70 - (280) 9-36 models.

True, but those rules are a bit overloaded ( 1 in 9, 2 in 9 etc etc). Also iron golems are just awful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappgrot Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 man i was hoping they simplify the rules for the warcry warbands. They are a bit more detailed then needed IMHO. Not really fitting in whit the general playstyle of AOS: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously that Untamed link is no more complex than a unit with banners, leader, musician and unit ability - save that mutiple units of the same kind actually have an effect beyond redundancy (having two banners at once doesn't stack abilities, however two rocktusks means you've two models with 2 wounds instead of 1- for example). That's pretty much as bare-bones simple as you can get, whilst at the same time working within the limits of the box and what it can build. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spears Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 (edited) 70 points for 10 wounds with a 4 up potentially rerollable save and a shooting attack doesnt seem awful to me. Not exactly exciting but the last two books have had a lot of power baked into the allegiance abilites and subfactions so its a bit early to asses the warcry warscrolls.

Carnith Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 We also don’t know if the rules for them are being changed at all. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overread Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Considering they are new this year I'd not expect to see changes. I'd expect to find out what the "cultist" keyword works with and what the allegiance abilities are in the Tome. After that the points I'd also expect to stay the same - the only thing we might see is a point discount for full units, but they are pretty cheap already (esp by AoS unit prices) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnelian Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 I really cannot see any issue with the warcry unit rules for AoS. They will play extremely quickly. In addition, they are all cheap chaff but with a single funky ability, and pointed appropriately (particularly if they can be battleline) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
