  1. I can confirm the envelope contains nothing of the sort. Won't spoil it here but it's not rules for Radukar the Beast The point of any expansions would be to sell them to people who brought the box game so you want consistency of product type. As another possibility there may not have been any expansions for cursed city. Could be that the expansions to blackstone didn't sell well for the game (or sold primarily to 40K fans as a few of them were added to the Chaos armies), and signals got crossed in advertising the game.
  2. Guys, its fun to speculate but none of the Vyrkos Soulblight models are cancelled cursed city expansions. I can't say about the Vampire Hunter pair because I haven't seen the sprues yet, but none of the new ones (Radukar the Beast, Belladamma, Krytza and Annika). They are all normal to build models and were always intended as part of the Soulblight Gravelords release. The reason I know is that all the expansions for Blackstone Fortress (and I do mean all) are push-fit models just like the ones in the main box. The Zoat, traitor guard, traitor commisar and ogryn, even the ETB death guard they did as a cash in one. All of the expansions were push-fit. If any of the models in the Soulblight range were originally intended as expansions to Cursed City they would have been push-fit as well. Not saying that there are not canceled expansions but these models aren't it.
  3. Excited for the buddy cop adventures of Sigmar and Nagash they hinted at in the Soul Wars book.
  4. Very similar to the Ad-Mech. From the repeated cog pattern to the mix of high tech and low. The big tell is the tiny spikes, which are just like those that are on Dragoon's feet.
  5. What if it's a repackage but they duplicate only some sprues? The Iron Golems for example have the Dominar and Drillmaster on one sprue, the Ogor Breacher and Armator on another with the Prefector/Signifier split between them. But, the three Iron Legionaries are all on their own sprue. What if we get an additional of that last one making the box: Dominar, Drillmaster, Prefector/Sgnifier, Breacher, Armator and 6 Legionaries?
  6. I really like this recolor. I think that the best part of them is that since they are "constructed" out of bone rather than being skeletons it removes the expectation that their bodies should be painted "like bones". Undead armies have always had an issue looking similar since the major aesthetic and color scheme is "bones all the way down" . Vampire Counts got away from this by including Vampires, spirits, undead wolves and bats. Tomb Kings got away from this by including a bunch of constructed and going heavy in on the Egyptian decoration (mummies, masks, armor, big shields, things made of "not bone". This new army gets away from the bone problem indirectly. Their non-bone bones can be painted in other colors to simulate other materials fairly easily. You could do grey stone, red stone, obsidian, marble, jade, terracotta, or even metal. The possibilities are really astounding. IF I collect them, I've already got my idea: Terracotta "Bones" and Jade armor.
  7. There's so much here and I'm sure it has to do with a big consolidation of the range for free cities, it is a lot of the oldest units going (glade guard are circa 2007 I think?), as well as a lot of specific heroes and old mounted/unmounted kits. Thunderers/Quarellers and the Canons are old models as well. Either way the older models are out and I'm curious to see tomorrow's announcement brings for Free Cities. Can't imagine they put this much stuff up and say nothing.
  8. Are you allowed to have more than one leader (or boss) per warband?
  9. Shockingly there was no thread for everyone's favorite madmen. So, this is now the official thread for the light of the Bad Moon to shine bright! So here's what we know so far: Gloomspite Gitz Leaders - Boingrot Boss - Squig Hopper Boss - Moonclan Boss Gloomspite Gitz Fighters - Boingrot Bounder - Squig Hopper - Cave Squig - Squig Herder - Stabba with Pokin' Spear - Stabba with Barbed Net - Shoota - Stabba So while we have a great variety of fighters, the only one we know anything about is the Squig Hopper (from the card previews). These have a solid attack, higher wounds, high movement and access to different types of tactics, but are priced like cavalry at a few hundred points. Still they give us an idea what the rest of the warband will be: expensive but fast (and extra bouncy) squig riders, cheaper stabba/shootas, slighly tougher squigs, and mighty (yet cowardly) leaders. Post more as we hear it and I'll do my best to fill out this section into a kind of guide. Happy Bouncing everyone!
  10. This is actually a stealth announcement for Hero Man, a new faction of only one model.
  11. It's almost like they are regular humans with minimal armor and bones for weapons or some such thing...
  12. Open Day Guesses: 1. Chaos Undivided/Slaves to Darkness Battletome/Army 2. New Destruction Battletome (Unified Ogres or Unified Greenskinz) 3. Preview of other Warcry Warbands 4. List of upcoming army unification/re-release plans 5. An announcement about Free Peoples that turns into more Stormcast models as Sigmar opens another chamber.
  13. https://ageofsigmar.com/warcry/ Becca is back with an official how to play video! Time to fill in all those detailed rule questions. Also, the warband section of that website confirms all the units available to the non-chaos factions
  14. I've been in this hobby over 20 years. It wouldn't be Warhammer without complaining, doom-saying, or accusations of money grabs.
  15. The smaller guys along with the beast speaker and leader-bean are SPD 5. It's the first fang and the 2H weapon guys that are SPD 4. If the First Fang's harpoon ability is anything to go off of, then their native abilities have some movement shenanigans too.
  16. All the way at the back. It's a photo of the cards along with the Iron Golems.
  17. " while in Seekers of the Chalice, the deranged Flesh-eater Courts set out on what they think is a holy mission." Welcome to the Age of Sigmar Bretonians 😂. For the Lady!
  18. Seems so. The Universal Quad ability is you can Move then attack when using it, so it's like a separate activation of only those specific actions)
