PiotrW Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Hello there, guys! A few days ago, I gave in and got myself a Warcry starter, along with the Cypher Lords box. Now, I have a few quick questions related to this game... Can you help? 1. What's up with the terrain sets for this game? I looked at the Warcry terrains sold separately (like Souldrain Forest etc.) and they seem to include the terrain from the starter in some of their configurations. But... the starter isn't available anymore, at least not from GW (I got mine from a retailer who had some stock left). Is GW planning on releasing the starter terrain separately? 2. I've heard that the assembly instructions for the terrain included in the starter are somewhat wrong and tell you to glue stuff that shouldn't be glued together.... Is there some sort of resource with the corrected assembly instructions? 3. From your experience, is it possible to play Warcry on your own terrain? 4. The warband creation rules say that a warband should have total value up to 1000 points. But I did some calculations and, for example, the Cypher Lords from the box sum up to way below 1000 points. So, what to do with the remaining points? Hire Allies? Buy another box of Cypher Lords..? 5. Why is there a 28mm base? I thought that WG used 25mm and 32mm bases for small models. Why do we need 28mm now??? This is madness! Heresy! Agh! 🥶 😵 🤪 (okay, maybe the last question isn't completely serious... ) Can you help, guys? I'd appreciate your input.

Baron Wastelands Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 (edited) 1. Not that they’ve said, though similar bits are available in the azyrite ruins sets. 2. Main thing is don’t glue the stairs onto anything. Keep them loose, as if you want to field the scenery as in the terrain cards, these can go anywhere. Second thing is that often the statue head is pictured without the platform on top, so you might not want to glue that; but tbh I ended up gluing mine anyway, just for stability, so anytime I put the head down it has a platform on top. Not been a big deal; and you are not asked to put the platform down without the head ever. 3. Absolutely. Either by substituting similar pieces for what is pictured on the cards, or just by ignoring the terrain cards and putting down a custom, random, or mutually constructed configuration before victory conditions are drawn. 4. Not sure what you mean - the cypherlords as built on the box come to 965 points, I think? Are you mistaking mirrorblades for mindbounds? I don’t play them personally. But if you want to grow your warband as part of a campaign, or give you more build options, then yes, a second box is advisable; or, as you say, looking at allies and monsters. 5. Hadn’t really noticed! Edited February 8, 2020 by Baron Wastelands 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit strange, isn't it? One of the sets they are selling is relatively similar, but doesn't feature the wooden bridges and ladders... And these are useful. 3 hours ago, Baron Wastelands said: 2. Main thing is don’t glue the stairs onto anything.

I seem to recall that the bell could be placed in various locations, too - but maybe I'm mistaken? 3 hours ago, Baron Wastelands said: 3. Absolutely.

Cool! I have some scenery already and I'd like to use it. 3 hours ago, Baron Wastelands said: 4. Not sure what you mean - the cypherlords as built on the box come to 965 points, I think? Ah, yes. Sorry, I miscalculated... Disregard this question, then 3 hours ago, Baron Wastelands said: 5. Hadn’t really noticed! Heh. It really jumped at me... Oh, and another question: 6. If I assemble the whole scenery set, will it fit into the box the starter came in? I'm running out of shelf space and containers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahriman Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 This is the guide I used for constructing my terrain so it matches the terrain cards. https://waywalkerstudios.com/assembling-terrain-for-warcry/?fbclid=IwAR01xtfyuNIO4CphK7I3bXvO1NQctPun6eyFYL9s0T0bPJarm66J29EJDSo And yes, all the terrain fits perfectly in the box it came with.

PiotrW Posted February 10, 2020 Author Share Posted February 10, 2020 Thanks! One more question: what's the status of the Warcry-related monsters? Are they going to permanently available or are they one-off releases? I ordered a Chimera at my retailer on Black Friday and it still has not arrived - GW seems to be out of stock. I'm wondering whether they are planning on making more Chimeras or whether they are all gone forever... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
girafarig Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 chimera kit is old as time, just repacked for the release of warcry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PiotrW Posted February 10, 2020 Author Share Posted February 10, 2020 Really? Old as time? I thought it looked rather good... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually had quite a hard time fitting the terrain in with the cards, dice, board, and books. I finally managed though and here's the configuration: I think at some stage I'll get some foam sheeting and cut the shapes in so that everything goes in nicely and doesn't bump against each other when painted. Note: the loose little bits on top of things will go in the gaps beneath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erm, technically yes. You have to choose One per action, but two actions per activation, so you can use one then the next. Note that you must attack an enemy fighter that is within 1” if you can, so you can’t shoot at something else unless you take them down first.

Luca Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 (edited) The doubt was for this little guy, if is in range of both weapon in a single attack action i can use both for a total of 6 attacks? or i have tho choese one of them per attack action?

ccconner777 Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 For terrain building i would just build some medium and small structures that you think look good and roll with it. Definitely keep the stairs separate so you can place them where you want but i dont think its important to make the board layouts exactly as pictured. I just made 5 or so different ruins and i can pretty closely replicate the layouts on the cards. There are so many different deployments, victory conditions and terrain layouts that randomly selecting them as the rules are written often leads to imbalanced games anyway, so i dont think you need to worry about it too much.

Page 44 of the core rule book, under 1. PICK A WEAPON AND TARGET. Second paragraph says “If there are any enemy fighters within 1” of the fighter making the attack action, one of those enemy fighters must be picked to be the target, and the weapon used cannot have a minimum range”.
