Because what nurgle worshipping warband wouldn't want their own festering, slobbering happy little labradour of a beast! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimrock Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Decent looking list, some surprises for sure. Definitely hoping for cards now considering it looks like they're adding new chaos beasts with the warhounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nerdkingdan Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 I couldn’t figure out how they would handle DOK heroes coming in the cauldron, looks like GW didn’t figure it out either, just use stormcast I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ference89 Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Cauldron of Blood comes in a similar price to two regular Heroes and gives you the Hag Queen and the Slaughter Queen. Additonally you will have an awesome model to field as an alternate Blood Sister Gorgai. Sell off the charriot and avatar, I think this way DoK players will have the most budget friendly heroes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but its not listed in the allies currently, could mean nothing or it could mean they don't get them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ference89 Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 For me, Hag Queen and Slaughter Queen are as probable, as the SCE and IDK heroes. I heard about the order heroes before they were listed on GW page and both of these factions have matched 100% to what is listed on GW at the moment.

Grimrock Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 GMG review is up covering the whole book. Seems like the balance concern with heroes was covered by just making them much weaker than expected. Still powerful, but definitely not a direct port from AoS. Pretty cool overall, I'll be picking it up if I can get some consistent narrative gaming in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't watch the whole video but there are some strong models in there. For example the khorne aspiring deathbringer will crank up the damage for nearby friendlies like crazy.

Overread Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 2 hours ago, enmitee said: Are they going to be viable for matched play? From what I can gather yes, with the proviso that some of the monsters will be very high in points and thus might well prove to be a huge gamble in smaller games and could even be a weakness in very small engagements for certain objectives. Meanwhile many of the mercenaries appear to be being fully re-statted for the game which is great and means that they can slot into the regular forces without much trouble. It's surprising that they didn't just roll all this into the core book for launch, but whatever GW's choices on the matter its a worthwhile addition to the game and its going to be a lot of fun seeing things like terrorgiest and such. Heck its even going to be a fun twist of fate when you're the big monster in a game and get to play out as a might beast against a player eager to kill and win them for their campaign warband. The only downside, in my view, is that the new beasts are all limited to specific blocks. So my Untamed can't tame themselves a zombiedragon. So I now have to hope that when GW expands the races in the game they add in the Bonereapers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acid_Nine Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 I always knew that slaughterpriest I got in a White dwarf so many years ago would come in handy! Time to add him somewhere into my untamed beasts and hope it's a good addition. And, this will give my iron golems even more flavor, allowing me to show that they are tzeench aligned and worthy of the blue steel painscheme! now I wonder what fluffy merc I can add to my future splintered Fangs...

Injuryprone Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Does mercs mode come with a higher point cap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ference89 Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 The 1000 points limit stays the same. For matched play you can't use the monsters and you can bring only one mercenary hero. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moldek Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Honestly the review makes it seem like a decent book. The mercenaries look like decent additions and it won’t be too hard to print out their stats and make custom cards as needed. Plus the fact that it’s cheaper than the main rulebook, I think I’ll buy it as it adds some interesting stuff to the game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delighted to see Beasts of Chaos and Everchosen warband rune marks. It's exactly what the game needs going forward. Also happy with the Allies list. I would love a Forgeworld monsters supplement where you could add in Skinwolves etc but so far so good imho.

Yeah I’m definitely doing a beastmen warband as soon as I can, heavy old-school realm of chaos influences 🤓 also I have a bunch of chaos hounds I was planning to use as furies since I don’t have the starter set, but now I think they are getting their own profile! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh heck yes, I was looking for an excuse to buy skin wolves! I think I would just use them as spawn anyways, just because they are such great models and would awesome in an untamed beast warband 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimrock Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 I'm a little confused on something, so just to be sure. You aren't limited on taking mercenaries from within your warband, just based off the grid in the book right? So an ironjawz warband could take a member of the gobbapalooza or the FeC could take a lone necromancer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tupavko Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 So I watched the full GMG review of the new book, and I'm a bit confused. In the book Everchosen and Beasts of Chaos are shown as "FACTIONS", but at the moment they do not exist in terms of playable warbads. So is GW going to print two more "non native" gangs for Warcry? Or are those gangs ment only for campaign purposes ad NPS warbands? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The varanguard centered warband seems like it would be an expensive army to field, but it could be fun to play with them. I just wonder why the mist weaver and tanabral shard are not individual heroes you could use? are they still for sale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overread Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Despite the Chaos focus, GW has always said that Waracry is to AoS what Killteam is to 40K. So yes I fully expect to see packs for ALL the main races in the game to appear for Warcry. It wouldn't surprise me if this slot was supposed to have Bonereapers released this month and then have a second cardpack wave appear including Bonereapers. However with the knockon effects of Sylvaneth it might be that Warcry still has its slot but Bonereapers got pushed a month on. So instead of a new wave of cards we get an expansion of the rules with the card wave appearing next. That would explain why mercenaries includes races that don't yet appear in the card packs like skaven . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I was at the Warhammer Fest this year when they spoke for the first time about Warcry (they announced it earlier that year but the very first chat about Warcry was at the fest), GW designers said, I'm quoting here: - "Warcry is after all, all about Chaos" - "Warcry is a game like no other, but it will be supported as Kill Team" I even had a chance to speak with Batistotti, the designer who sculpted the new wonderful Furies and he also said that Warcry was entirely Chaos based as far as he knew (at that time no one knew the mechanics of the game).
