Turragor Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 So we wanted more Quest and we are getting more quest! Some in the rumour thread surmise there will be no new miniatures. I think that's unlikely. I also think we probably won't get a 100% new mini box. Somewhere in between. Still, the experience of playing Silver Tower was what I loved, not necessarily the minis (though beautiful). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AGPO Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Going from the box art there seem to be an interesting mix of heroes and villains in there. As a chaos player I spotted acolytes, blight kings, a slaughter priest, sorcerer lord and some blood reavers, whilst Order-wise you're getting a Cogsmith, Castellant, Loremaster and the corsair character whose name I can't remember. Doesn't look like new models but if it's the same price as Silver Tower it'll be worth it just for the minis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miarbi Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 I really hope there is a new model for the loremaster, thats all i want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rokapoke Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 It will be interesting to see if the box includes a Baleful Realmgate. After all, Hammerhal "is built around a Realmgate and sprawls across two realms!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dez Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 That would be great if there was a Realmgate or two! I'd also love some Blight Kings, they could make this a real easy sale for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aspirant Snaeper Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 I certainly hope that the Loremaster, Corsair and Cogsmith are new models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperHappyTime Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 That is very much the Black Ark fleetmaster. I'm just glad we are getting Aelves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkbelly Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Sword leg and all. I had decided NOT to get that model, but now I may end up with it anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bottle Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 I'm so excited and don't care if it's only existing miniatures (of which I already have 4!). I am hoping for this to be much more of a general "dungeon crawler" so I am hoping for generic dungeon tiles (a bit of AoS glam is great, of course) and hopefully rules for playing an ongoing campaign. Rules for adding in monsters outside of the box would be great too, but if I get involved in a big way I could make that my next project after the Hinterlands update. :-) I'm hoping for a bit of time before it is released just to save up and clear the painting desk, otherwise I can't wait!

Darth Alec Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Nothing on the box art was new. Doesn't mean there won't be new models in the box though. Worst case, we're still looking at nice models at a likely excellent discount. The setting is interesting. It's much less AoS-y than we're used to. The seedy underbelly of a mortal city? Yes please. Honestly, given the setting I would have thought they'd go for a Lord-Veritant. Him, Witch Hunter (would have to be new sculpt), Loremaster, Duardin. Much better fit thematically.

As mentioned, I do hope they make a more general campaign book eventually like the original Warhammer Quest. There was nothing more dope than watching you charecters get negatively affected by a night in the tavern New models are nice, but it would probably be cool to see just tile and campaign addons sold seperately eventually that could get used.

Old Woden Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 A more controlled narrative would be cool. I like that there's a loose overall plot arc to silver tower but it would be nice to see more specific quest by guest plot arcs inside of that and maybe some consequences that affect the story line like Descent ect.

AGPO Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 I think he looks like the generic Fleet master, although I wish the Blackheart model was still available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chikout Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 It is so frustrating that the new white dwarf leaked, but we never saw page 8. The contents of this box will decide my purchases for the next few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brucimus Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Contents leaked apparently, took the following from Dakka. WARHAMMER QUEST: SHADOWS OVER HAMMERHALL Warhammer Quest: Shadows over Hammerhall is a stand-alone boxed game for 2-5 players set in the splendid city of Order – Hammerhall. Up to 4 players can quest in the catacombs and dungeons below the city, while another acts as game master, setting fiendish obstacles, controlling the antagonists (monsters) and setting the story – it’s up to this player to take charge of revealing the secrets each dungeon has to offer. The game is fully compatible with the Warhammer Quest: Silver Tower game and the Hero Cards. Any miniatures or rules the customer already owns for that game can also be used in this game. In addition, the game has a lot of replay-ability, as character level up and increase their skills as you play. The box contains 31 miniatures, including: 1x Lord Castellant and Gryph Hound 1x Cogsmith 1x Black Art Fleetmaster 1x Loremaster 1x Chaos Sorcerer Lord 5x Putrid Blightkings 10x Kairic Acolytes 10x Bloodreavers 1x 72 page guide book 1x 32 page adventure book 18x double sides board sections 55x cards 12x dice A variety of counters and markers for tracking your heroes as they gain experience and skills under the city of Hammerhall £90, on sale 25th Feb.

ZaelART Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Model-wise I like the inclusion of Blightkings, but the rest does not get me excited. Any new sculpts at all? I'm hoping this is false. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundercake Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 I think no new models, just remaking the sprues for the blightkings so they are more like the Kairic acolytes out of Silver Tower and not the Kairic Acolytes out of the new releases. Easier assembly, less room to modify/convert, easier to target the casual gamer or new people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its 90lb, which in GW land is $150, that is a solidly terrible model lineup. Maybe the worst since Fyreslayers release. I'll be picking up the game scraps from somebody else. ETA: Also, for the record, the lineup sounds fake, mostly because we didn't get full 5 and 10 man squads in Silver Tower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would they make a single unique sprue just for this ox and leave all the others the same? Using nothing but existing sprues likely saves them a TON of money. It's disappointing that the games isn't a bit cheaper with that consideration... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe because they didn't want to release Silver Tower 8 months later? Those are two entirely different circumstances. Every single thing in the Silver Tower box was a unique model. that was one of its features. Only lately did they release the heroes on their own, and then even more recently they entirely remade two of the units in the box as separate sprues with options.
