novakai Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 looks good, didn't expect a unit card system, looks like a hex based turn base game similar to the upcoming 40k Battle sector surprise Maggotkin was the third faction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the same developer that made Mordheim and Necromunda, which gives me some pause. Long term support tends to be sketchy, and there's been basically no information about this game prior to the release date announcement. That said, it could be fun, even if it turns out janky.

Neil Arthur Hotep Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 8 minutes ago, Chikout said: Maybe a nighthaunt themed expansion for cursed city? That certainly seems to be in the cards. One of the locations on the Cursed City map mentions ghostly undead and so far there are none in the game. But I think a minor expansion for Nighthaunt proper before we enter AoS 3.0 is also possible. Even with the events of BR: Teclis... Spoiler ...like the destruction of Nagash and Arkhan and the stopping of the Necroquake... ...it feels like the Death narrative has not been fully concluded yet.

I would be for it in general going forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

novakai Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 they have yet to do it for Silver tower and Blackstone, so there no inclination that GW would do it for Cursed City. Indomitus is different because the unit are meant to be use in 40K to begin with while the Warhammer quest stuff are sort of their own thing. they way they did it was also anti consumer friendly but that a different topic. granted out of all the hostile pack, Rakudar may get release separately because he has his own sprue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had hoped for things that could be considered for play, but between locking all the humans to one city, the elf to one glade and every dead thing in one block, that's clearly not the intent. The witch hunter pair does imply generic witch hunters (because of alternate loadouts), which is good for the Cities side of things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandlemad Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 These dudes are by a significant margin the most complex warband in the game, a whole lot of moving parts. Looks workable though, it’s very thematic and for all that you’re tracking a bunch of things, it could give you a fun tension. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chikout Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Gw is looking to hire a new lead developer for Age of Sigmar which I thought was Jervis Johnson's job. Is anyone willing to put their money where their mouth is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabotage! Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 I know I am a day late to the part, but those Witch Hunters are fantastic. Combined with the Witch Hunter from Cursed City, that is three new Witch Hunters in a short span of time from GW. Can they please return them to being an option for CoS? Or better yet release a full Order of Azyr Warband for Warcry? I need more for my Mordheim addiction! (Also I would play the heck out of all of them if they ever get Warcry rules) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best they could do is sell a Gobapallooza style box with a bunch of them together. Its not that hard, stick them all in a single box and sell them as "Start Collecting - Ulfencairn". Similar to the Start Collecting Greywater fastness and other Cities of Sigmar type boxed sets. They have obviously created some really nicely detailed models that stand to be fairly popular, and GW already paid for the development, design and mold production, seems like a no-brainier to capitalize on it as a company. People are going to seek them out even if GW never releases them individually. How old is the current LoN/soulblight line? 20+ years? Half the line is still resin. Being able to get modern sculpts of bat swarms, a really nice vargulf stand in for flesh eater courts, a new barrow weight on foot hero, and a bunch of vampire lords and necromancer stand-ins makes them valuable in players eyes already. Why not provide them unique stats in Soulblight Gravelords? Especially since they are releasing a vampire themes Underworlds warband AND the soulblight Gravelords at the same time. Making tie ins across all the product lines is just good business sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gday staff I'm the new Lead designer, right first and foremost we must expand Destruction and by that I mean Sons of Behemat need at least 10 new kits. 4 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
