Or not...yet The crazy cat is coming which is awesome but I almost got too hopeful for KO cards.

Think it’s safe to assume that KO and Tzeentch warbands are coming out first? Given the next chapter in AoS is about them *drool*

Can't wait for Gotrek. The games might be slow but well, favorite characters are always favorite characters.

I love it very much to be honest. My last game was Bloodmarked and I've made my leader the target. I am already playing Hardcore (ToC rules) and was very happy when my leader was the only one who died. My entire warband watched in a semi circle as he charged into a bunch of SCE and found a few new holes in him after a bolter volleys but it still felt great. I knew he wasn't going to die and that I didn't have to roll for the wounds for my smaller guys. One would hate to have -1A for a Plains Runner I think worrying for a leader would make me look for cheesy ways out of the game when now I know I can always have 1 guy who can charge in recklessly and give me the satisfaction of swinging a huge axe. I did lose a destiny level though.

That'd be really nice. I still hope for centerpiece models like they did in the original Chaos Warbands. Those are gorgeous. Tyrants don't seem to have them but if I'm not mistaken we've seen 8/9 models.

Well, I’d feel off balance if he was wielding an axe and maybe even some lesser artifacts but most of them I can imagine fitting my cats. A custom magic chain mail or spiked somethings on him etc etc. Healing pots are a weird thing when I start imagining a cat drinking them but oh well. These are no ordinary cats. Glad it helps.

The only thing I know they can't do is open doors. My Rocktusk is wearing a dragon tooth necklace which is an Artifact of Power and some perishable thingy that gives him +1T. I'm also gunning to make a Favored Warrior out of him and give him a Command Trait.

Still waiting for them Tyrants, Scions, 3 monsters lawl Idk, I’m biased so hoping for dwarves then seraphon and skaven.

Glad to see an official event. Attached is the winners table from WHW FB page. Gratz to the Ironjawz! Thoughts? Maybe some of you took part in it? Share your experience! Also, rosters if you have the intel Event Pack for reference was here. AFAIK no beasts or mercs were used this event (and monsters I assume).

Also humans aren’t copyrightable. Another reason GW forms cults like “Haters Anonymous - Humans” or HAH for short. And that’s the gospel truth. See? They mock us!

lmao! Warcry has no balance and that's the awesome beauty of it. On a more serious note, no, it won't change much given that Warcry is all about the random side of things and you can never know what's gonna happen. There is some balance but you really shouldn't think that playing on the same terrain setup will lead to the same games. Hell they might not even be similar games. Your scenario assumes a thought-out plan for each part of the scenery on each card. The fact that Egyptian Ruins set exists in Warcry demolishes that assumption into nothing more than wishful thinking. Reason being: No vertical play at all. Whatsoever. Nothing in that box can be treated as a 3" platform which removes falling and spiking people altogether. One may say that in combination with starter set terrain, the cards that combine those could be balanced but the starter set terrain isn't even sold fully anymore. This is a misconception that the terrain cards affect your games that much. Just throw in a fitting location that includes all the game mechanics (>3", LOS, deadly etc) and hope that SCE will get a Dead of Night Twist

I miss both. I miss Dreadlord, Archaon, and a few others on foot and miss Thorgrim on Throne (read: centerpiece model) and the likes of him that can catch your eye on the table. It probably would break a few things but given that the monsters already have a wound table making it weaker, I'd freaking love an opportunity to jump off of my dead "mount" and charge into a melee avenging it's death.

Oh I think this is putting it lightly. A new faction is likely to be a whole lot of work for the lean teams making GW magic. Humans do exist. They spread, they multiply and expand in the dark. Think Kharadron but less "awesome" more "cockroach". For better or worse we will see the cavemen, that AoS humans are today, spring out into something that will demand respect even from the likes of Sigmar. That's just the nature of it all. Hopefully they will posses or be possessed by all the same follies as real people. That all those players locked in a nostalgia-cage can relate to these new factions better.

All of them. Played a couple dozen games and all of them I wanted/used the 2+ of something. I keep playing with adding the second something to my Untamed Beasts (3 cats, 6 runners, 2 First Fangs, 2 Beastspeakers, 3 Preytakers etc) who are my main guys and I'm very happy I got the second box of these guys. Same with other people I play with. 2 ogres, 2 big wing flapping dudes, 25 snakes, couple unmade someones etc etc. You want a double box. You will likely miss the guys if you trade them away but I might not understand your last sentence fully. P.S. This is coming from playing the campaign and being interested in narrative side of Warcry. I would assume that min-maxers would want to multiply strong units even more.

I've been shamelessly praising GW all month

Same here. I've counted +5 warbands. Just didn't count where to find time for all of them Here's to hoping. I'd like a more "classic" dwarf faction be it even SCE looking dwarves. I'd like a bit more "warrior" range for elves and a lot of my friends just identify with reg people without steroids.

Slaves to Darkness, Ossiarch Bonereapers, Ogor Mawtribes, Kharadron Overlords, Disciples of Tzeentch, Skaven, Stormcast Eternal Warrior Chamber, Beasts of Chaos, Fyreslayers, Sylvaneth, Stormcast Eternal Sacrosanct Chamber, Blades of Khorne, Maggotkin of Nurgle, Hedonites of Slaanesh and Seraphon https://www.games-workshop.com/en-WW/Warcry-Tome-Of-Champions-EN-2019

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2019/12/06/white-dwarf-preview-decembergw-homepage-post-3/ Could be a new quest. Definitely not a part of our warbands according to the writers lol This week's been too exciting with Warcry leakes and releases.

Nice to meet you! Will keep my eyes open for your events the next time I'll be stateside. Now I just need to Google where Nova and Adepticon are being held and shove a few pins into a map

I have this less-than-a-dream-more-than-a-simple-wish to visit a large event like that but I was naive thinking I’d meet a billion new friends and have a blast playing cool games for a day or two. Even our local (small) group is visibly affected when minor prizes are on the line. And not in a good way. I hate to think what’s happening when something significant is being played for.

I see now. Yes, I’m hoping for at least Tyrants, Ogroid, One-eyed Gorilla and batsh*t crazy Cat to be in this years Tome statswise. I mean, they are coming out entirely soon and not including them would make me saltyish and thinking that another book will be released in a month or two. However there is precedent. Chimera wasn’t in MM which is sooooooo strange imo.

Is it really that bad?

When you say "new", do you mean other than Scions that are haunting us since core book?

Demons and mortals maybe? Gaunt Summoner and Thamaturg are in MM if I’m not mistaken. Sets us up for horrors, Tzangors (especially since beasts are all the rage now) and cultists. Maybe Chaos manta rays too. But everything I’ve listed could easily go into one warband so I’m at a loss.

Could you expand on the “hinted” sentence? I’d really like to understand what you mean. Its possible that the new warbands might be expensive to put together but isn’t it probable that we all will have the models from our favorite armies already to play Warcry the day the rules drop? At least I’m guessing that I have enough KO built and painted to field them day 1.
