OkayestDM Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 I am genuinely, but pleasantly surprised that the books are going on preorder next week! The limited number of models being released alongside it is a little surprising (I thought there'd be at least a few more) but I'm ok with that. We knew the releases were going to be spread out anyway, and as others have said, seeing the stats will aid greatly in informing model purchases.

Charleston Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 The general amount of products released seem quite big for me: 2 Battletomes, 2 sets of Warscroll Cards, 4 new kits, 1old kit repacked (Lord Arcanum), 6 Set of Dice + Supplemental stuff for Blood Bowl. It is quite a loaded release here. If I recall correctly we will see for SCE: Knight Relictor New Bow Guys New Sword Guys Dragon Knights New Named Dude we got the rules revealed today Named Dragon Kit And keep in mind this all comes while there will be also some stuff for Orruks left, as well as a Black Templar release that appears to bring some new kits along when the rumour-mills are true. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neverchosen Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 5 hours ago, Charleston said: New Sword Guys This is an odd question but will these new sword units have optional parts to build Vindicators or are they only available through the Starter Sets? I do not remember any indication of this and the parts seem fairly different but it still seems weird to me that there is no current info on a generic Vindicator release (unless I am forgetting something). 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially as the Cellestar Ballista is likely a cheaper option and can easily help fill out the grand battery Battalion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The World Tree Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Super hyped. Will have played 125 games with the old book - cannot wait for the new one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightbox Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Of course it's set to release whilst I'm away at a larp weekend XD Though I'll probably wait a week or two to spread out costs anyway, and because I want the dragon cavalry! Do we reckon it will be just a 2 week spread or do people expect all the units to take a few weeks to all come out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scurvydog Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 19 minutes ago, Nizrah said: Sounds like dragons have 4 attacks each with dmg 2 and there is a normal guy and a prime with 3 attacks and 4 for the prime, probably dmg 1 and rend 0-1, then +1 dmg and +1-2 rend on the charge I'd guess. Decent enough, depends on the breath as well. Question then is if they are monsters or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackStreicher Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Oh boy. I will definitely get some Dragons.
