Kramig Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 I was going to open a topic too Wonderful news! I am very curious about them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kramer Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Yeah boi! I'm going in on this starter set and this news gives me so much play options as well. Is 18 the full foot troop roster do you think? Seems like a few things will be missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha hydra’s and mounted black dragons right? no but if I look at what infantry cities offers I count 20 units. Add to that alternative weapons & champions, that ain’t gonna fit in 18 options So the question should haven been what do you think they might drop? I’m vaguely expecting flagellants not to be in there. in the picture I can spot: black guard champion, irondrakes, crossbowmen, hand gunner, wild wood ranger and a regular guardsmen.

Kramig Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 I think there will be only 1 weapon option per unit. By now we see: - wildwood ranger - irondrake - crossbowmen - handgunners - black guard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michu Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 I'm pretty happy. I will have finally a reason to convert my free city of Al-Nephtis units (using Shadow Warriors, Bleakswords and a bit of Greenstuff) without draining my wallet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonhommes_ Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Very excited for this, will be making/converting a band of treasure hunters (need a convincing reason for them to venture out to the Eigthpoints!) Anyone know what day the White Dwarf will be dropping? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Docthe3rd Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 @bonhommes_ - preorder this coming Saturday (September 12th) with a release next week, I believe it said. Shops usually get them the Wednesday after pre-order, I've found, but can't put them on sale until Friday/Saturday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
girafarig Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 why no flagellants? they would make the most sense as some kind of whacky fundamentalistic crusade without return to reclaim that once order stronghold. also they are the most cheap i bet. some elf ranger with bow / imperium bowmen musketdude/crossbow irondrake with flamer dorf with axe halberdiers/dark elf spear dudes dark elf corsair as some kind of mixed unit outrider generic cavalry or lizard dudes fancy elite sword dudes / elfs / longbeards STEAMTANK (i hope not) well we all know it will come the other way and we get all gyrocoptersetups, hydras, whatever...

Quick question though: What model is the the Guild Champion? Is it a Freeguild General? Also would you mind saying what weapon a Freeguild Sergeant is carrying? Bummed out that there are no flagelants, would have really liked to make a Witch Hunter themed warband. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like the intended leader of Freeguild warbands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stickybluetoffee Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Glad you could answer that. I’m not familiar enough with the free guild models. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! Do we know if the warband abilities are specific to the unit types? (e.g. Freeguild abilities, Dwarf abilities, etc.)? Or are the abilities shared by all units?

girafarig Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 no flagellants is just no but then they have all those fancy guys with torpedos, muskets and flamers. having ammunition in hostile land is easier than having faith and fury! i see snipers, snipers, snipers everywhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two generic abilities - better attacks when near an objective and 1 that lets 2 different fighters take a bonus attack Two leader abilities - one that lets certain models increase their toughness and one that gives better attacks to nearby units after they’ve taken out an enemy. Two more specific abilities that several models can use but not all. 1 of these is for shooting units, 1 for great swords, wardens and rangers. Don't want to be breaking copyright so I think that’s all it’s safe to say. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireAbend Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Have seen a live stream of white dwarf 456 and the page headline for the CoS Warband Warcry rules is "Hammerhal" . So i think thats the reason for the dwarf and freeguild heavy setup and there's a chance we get a warband rules for each city. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michu Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 (edited) So for a Living City equivalent: - Wildwood Rangers as Wildwood Rangers (Shocking, I know!) - Sisters of the Watch as Crossbowmen or Handgunners - Eternal Guard as Freeguild Spearmen or Black Guard (Our shields! They do nothing!) - converted Nomad Princess - Freeguild Sergeant or Black Guard Captain Pity that we can't add Sorceress as a Mercenary.

Dankboss Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Now that Freeguild are in Warcry, I'm now going to start playing it. I'm told by my friends that the regular warbands are not comparable to most of the faction warbands in terms of balance, but Hammerhal is looking to shape up nicely. Even then, I'm not looking to build the most OP combo list possible, so am just sticking to my Freeguild with limitations on lots of shooting.
