Darth Alec Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Best AoS release so far? Before it's even been announced? Very possibly maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneMonk Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 I still think the starter box was the best. Orruks the most well received. Warhammer Quest may have the furthest reach outside of Warhammer and outside wargames. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobgoblinclub Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 I'd say yes. Personal taste I suppose, but I'm not a huge fan of stormcast. I prefer the orruks but still not mad about them. However, the minis in silver tower look stunningly good! So many lovely minis, the return of a classic game and, by the look of things, everything a wishlister could have hoped for, makes this the best of AoS thus far. My big hope was that the heroes would transfer to AoS. Now it looks as if you can transfer AoS heroes the other way! I say brilliant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadlySarcasm Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Looks like GW have noticed the leaked pictures and have provided some better quality ones on their Facebook page! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobgoblinclub Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 The Mistweaver Saih is truly a thing of beauty. I want it! GW have me gripped! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stylus Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Brilliant move by GW - exactly how they should have responded to all the other leaks over the years (the new Ironjaw Megaboss, for example, was not done justice by his leaked picture). I'm very impressed with the positive turn they've taken with social media and community engagement. Plus, of course, the miniatures look cracking.

Stylus Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Barbarian, Cavalier, Magician, Acrobat ... Paint that Gryph Hound as a baby unicorn, and you'd have a pretty good line-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malakithe Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 I wonder how the Knight-Questor will hold up in normal games. He is pretty tanky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 This reads similar to how the 5th ed D&D boardgames play, and they're a lot of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retraz Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Is anyone else already thinking of alternative AoS heroes to use for WQ since we'll be able to create our own or use premade hero cards? Really looking forward to getting my hands on the new app. I feel like it will be a great way to delve into other alliances or subfactions without starting a new army and create some interesting conversions/kitbashes for heroes to use in WQ.

Shane Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 I might use this miniature eventually (which should be arriving soon): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dracoth Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 I particularly liked the RPG elements of the original WHQ between dungeons. I'm keen to see if its possible to exit the tower between adventures to stop off at villages/towns/cities etc for provisions and the like. I always liked that part of the game.

Shane Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 So far, it seems closer to Hero Quest inbetween adventures. Maybe an expansion would add more out of adventure activities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dangermouse425 Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 I had Heroquest as a young 'un - the more I hear about Silver Tower, the more awesome it sounds! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Keenbean Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 HeroQuest has also been incredibly effective gateway drug for friends, family, and significant others that would otherwise be uninterested in tabletop gaming in general. I think that the original Warhammer Quest (which I also own) wouldn't be as effective in that regard as it is slightly more complex. As such, news that points to this new WHQ being more like HeroQuest is welcome, though I would certainly like additional material to be released to expand it like the original WHQ. All told, I'm just generally pleased with how GW has been operating lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhellion Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 I've been told by my FLGS that stores are being pushed to order 40 copies. My store can't and is ordering the minimum 20 required to get the special promos (which is still a lot for them). He said stores that ordered 40 were supposed to get the game a week early. That's this weekend! Anyone else heard that? I'll be getting mine next weekend from my FLGS regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amysrevenge Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 I'll be at Warhammer World on the 19th. We'll see if they have any there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Alec Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 My FLGS scoffed at ordering 20 for the free bonus. Apparently it was a free box. So a 5% discount, really. Since this is standard stock (not limited availability like other GW board games), they just ordered 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinglizard Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 So are those Characters that 'Leaked' all that come with the box do you think? never played the original quest so this is all fresh and exciting for me, mostly excited about new models that can be used for AOS too.

Brunel.Richard Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 It doesn't seem as simple as HeroQuest. To me it looks like WarhammerQuest with some of the extra "role playing" elements, like between adventures going to villages/towns/cities etc, taken out but with a more modern activation and experience mechanic. WarhammerQuest 2nd edition may be a better way to think of it. Either way I'm looking forward to it. I'll be picking up my copy on the 21st!

Antipodean7 Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 So much detail in this White Dwarf - Highly recommend the purchase. Explanation of the game, walk-through of a full trial, AOS warscrolls for the heros, paint guides, Black Library story, fluff, details about the app - so, so much to love Just a few peaks below Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brunel.Richard Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 So the ultimate goal is to get all the amulet pieces and learn the Gaunt Summoner's true name? To have a daemons true name is to control them. Archaon gained control over the eight Gaunt Summoners by finding out their names, so did he go through the eight trials that make up the WQ:ST scenarios too? If so I want his rules for WarhammerQuest: Silver Tower!!! (I have the old Games Day models of him on foot) And if other parties are now seeking the true names is it a plot by the Summoners to get out of the Everchosen's power? I love the way the lore is developing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
