He says the character of Hamilcar has moved in a different way since then but nothing about quality, at least if I am looking at the right spot.

Overread Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 I think one thing BL could do a LOT better is present how series for characters work in AoS. Esp for things like short stories which often rely on you having read other stories to fill in the gaps that they don't have room for in the smaller format. It's actually very messy how they currently do it with heroes appearing here and there in stories and not even always having a clear reading order for their publications even though there is one. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
123lac Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Surprised that some people think Warcry will be chaos only. You seriously think the AoS version of kill team will only feature 1 grand alliance? Madness. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It very well could not be the AoS Kill Team lots of people are jonesing for. For all we know it could be a standalone game like 'Speed Freaks' that came out around the Orc Codex. Imagine a game that had, for example, Darkoath chariot racers battling it out or Darkoath champions fighting for Archaon's favour that comes out just before a major StD Battletome is released. Gets some big key pieces in to people's armies ahead of a full release and tempts a few people who might just fancy a chariot racing game (or whatever) to get involved. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seriously think the AoS version of kill team will only feature 1 grand alliance? Madness. You seriously it will be AoS killteam? Madness. but an assumption there is that’s its going to be killteam. Just because the same makers are involved doesn’t mean they will do the same thing. Otherwise you also need to take into account that the makers of shadespire are involved and split the difference. Secondly why wouldn’t it be a new version of gorechosen? That was even only Khorne! So the precedent is there. Lastly the location and trailer are heavily tied to chaos. To the point that in the artwork used there is only mortal chaos warriors. The trailer is the Biggest indication to the content of the game we have with the blurb that goes with it. HAving said all that I do feel it’s going to be character progress driven skirmish like killteam as well. But to make it competitive they need to limit the warscrolls and then why not start with chaos vs chaos and add other allegiances through expansions. If it’s the best call I don’t know but seems most likely to me with the info we have. (Which is very limited) madness! (Just because it’s a great way to end a post ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chikout Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 (edited) A little thing that may be of interest is that next week, from the 16th to the 19th of February, is the New York toy fair. Last year gw announced blitz bowl and space marine adventures at that event. This year gw has two small exibitor booths, so they will be showing something.

Just from the teaser, a better guess would probably be some kind of arena type game. People are hoping it'll be Kill Team, but there's not much to support that. At this point I'm not going to get my hopes up. I'm getting into a Mordheim campaign at my local shop, so I'll probably be disappointed by whatever GW puts out anyway if they ever do properly approach skirmish in the Mortal Realms.

So, out of curiosity, I google that game and it’s coming out in April. You can download the rules here: https://wizkids.com/posters/repository/wizkids/Anvalor-Rulebook FINAL WEB 10.17.18small.pdf They have a bunch of pictures on the wiz kids website. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPjr Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 (edited) @Chikout ah I'd just done exactly the same as you and was reading those rules. interesting that I think some of the factions involved have changed in the final edition to what was in the initial announcement and guesses we were all making here. looks interesting anyway, pretty sure I'll be grabbing a copy. edit: actually it looks like the factions are still the same. edit 2: 1 thing of note, all the unit cards shown in the rulebook appear to be for existing units, all except one, the Fyreslayers have a unit called Doomslayers. Now obviously it would be wrong to leap to wild conclusions due to something as trivial as this, but then that's what we do best... edit 3: my bad, sorry not my day, it's Doomseekers not Doomslayers, so the name of an old WHFB Dwarf unit wasn't it?

michu Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 No, he's not. When Fyreslayers book will be released (or rather if), Doomseeker won't be there as it's currently OOP. Same goes for Excelsior Warpriest (but Darkoath Chieftain is still there, go figure). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone recently mentioned a key distinction in what does and doesn't get released separately after a Boxed gamed goes OOP: shared vs separate sprues. All of the Silver Tower HEROES are on separate sprues, which means GW could easily sell them separately (and currently does with the Chieftain, Ogroid and the Knight-Questor). Because of this, I would put money of GW re-releasing the Doomseeker alongside the inevitable Fyreslayer update. Unfortunately, the same thing doesn't apply for the miniatures of shared sprues, which means we probably won't see the Deathrunner again. I guess you just use it as the deathmaster.

He, along with all the other Silver Tower heroes were definitely sold stand alone before. Not sure why GW pull them when they pulled Silvertower since I'm pretty sure the stand alone heroes were packaged as purely AoS. I guess the Elves made sense because they didn't really belong to a faction, but the rest actually made some good heroes for other factions.

The Stormcast Questor also went OOP a few months ago, I know because I was after one and it was removed from the webstore, despite being in the Battletome. Its back on the store now though, so we dont really know what they will do until its actually done. EDIT: Ah just seen Klamm mention the deathrunner was not on a separate sprue, so can understand why it was dropped, but Hero's are still possible to return.

I got him for Christmas last year and I don't even care if his stats are rubbish Nice for Skirmish at least, with his low points cost! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
