Oh, sorry, and details: 6 heroes (not all of which are on the side of the angels), and 45 minions of Tzeench. 51 models total, 150.00 in the US

Thanks for that!

Some very interesting and crazy models in there! Not as into the heroes, but love all the enemies except the goblins... I wonder if they had to change those simply not to be normal (unprotectable from GW's view) gobbos.

MongooseMatt provided the details here.

Only what's in the images posted so far.

The retailer email (posted somewhere in this thread) says it's a 2 to 4 player game.

Linked above, re-posted in OP.

Just a reminder - the fastest way to get something re-posted in OP is to PM me a link to the news/rumour.

Might want to put Warhammer Quest into the thread title as well...

Done & Done

It's kinda funny how everyone is cheering that blue horrors are here...everyone knows we get 3 in each burning chariot kit, right? Don't get me wrong, I'm SUPER happy to add more horrors to my group; but everyone is acting like we don't have access to current blue horrors. We totally do!!

So summing up here,

Good: Awesome models, lots of content, possibly continued focus by GW as a seperate line, AoS compatible.

Bad: little on the expensive side, expensive (but completely optional) magazine subscriptions

Am I missing anything?

(This is a total buy for me. Iffy on the subscription, need to see magazine contents to justify cost.)

I don't think a WD sub is necessary here ... if you want rules printed in WD just get the issues with rules in them (e.g., 120 and 121).

Yeah, I don't know where the idea that the WD subscription was mandatory came from.

The rules that get posted in WD for AoS? They become free that same week on the AoS app as well.

It would be great if GW also did apps for boxed games, to disseminate support for them.

Ok, so let me get this straight. Supposedly ALL AOS models will have rules to run in this.
So If I wanted too. We could get my Bloodbound, and my friends Stormcast. and have an adeventure where the bloodbound have to slaughter their way through a Stormcast eternal stronghold. Eventually killing the Celestant Prime?

@Manchu, sorry, wasn't saying it was mandatory. Will edit that in.

@hotsauceman1, oh, that'd be sweet!

I just emailed the War Store asking if there would be a way to get those promo heroes with pre-orders... None of my local game stores have shown an iota of interest in stocking Silver Tower, mostly as they've become Warmahordes or GTFO shops... much to my dismay.

That sucks. :(

That sounds... awesome and from GW's point of view such an easy win - they have excellent models looking for games to be used in, and this makes Warhammer Quest basically infinitely expandable.

I wonder, if GW show no interest in producing additional tiles (the only thing that hampers endless replayability) whether a small third party provider may be able to assist. As fodder for thought I was looking at The Lost and the Damned and it has a narrative locations table which would be an absolute wellspring of inspiration for these kind of potential expansion tiles:

- a gigantic ship cast out of the Realms of Chaos and rotting on a hill. What is inside?
- A cave complex in a cliff on a shore that is only revealed at low tide.
- The Finger of Khorne, a hundred foot monolith with a cavern complex beneath.
- A ghostly tower that is a ruin by day and by night restored to it former glories with ghosts etc. Timed missions perhaps?
- an assassination of a local lord in his mansion who turns out to be a chaos magister.
- A battle in the treetops with the sides being at risk of falling off the edges.

So many opportunities.

Its a psuedo-rpg. You dont even need monsters.
GW, get on doing this with 40k.

Apparently, only if you're willing to pay money for every extra bit of rules for those existing models.

They also need to make a dual-kit hero for a Flesh-Eater courtier.

One model a hideous ghoul with tattered clothing and the other a flamboyant (and very Bretonnian-like) bard/troubadour.

In his madness he sees himself as the bard but in reality he's a ghoul. You could switch between the two depending on his wounds, fights and sings like a human at full heath, goes full beast and cannibal when hurt.

I wonder if we are going to see Knight-Questor in any future Stormcast books.

So, you pay for rules to use new models in Silver Tower. Naughty GW, after all other companies give you additional rules and board game expansions for free.

^ Exalt given!

On friday, some retailers will have demo copies, so i expect we'll all see a bit more of the rules.

I'm still on the fence as to whether i want to jump through the hoops. It's a 40 copy order to get a demo copy of the game a week early. That's only ....6000.00 in WQ to sell. But i could be playing by the weekend....

Im no game store owner. But to me, required 40 copies sounds like a suicide to me.

So... they lure people who hate the Stormcast Eternals into buying loads of them just to kill them in WHQ? Not bad...

Could be wrong, but that appears to be the amount required to get a free demo copy. I have read that orders from retailers can be in singles, so presumably you could 1 or 2, but your not likely to get a lot out of GW in terms of support at that point.

The two aelf heroes have me interested in seeing what the new units might be coming.

I am curious about the deluxe stuff. Do you know if that is promotional stuff for the store, a special edition of the game that we can buy, or something that is sold separately? It sounds like something I might want, but living in Japan, I have no idea where I could go to get it.

Is there a source for this? So far, everything AoS has had free rules and datasheets.

It has me torn, because I've been speculating for awhile now that we would see Shadowkin(the Aelf faction represented by the two in this box) coming soon...so do I want Warhammer Quest or to hoard my resources for Shadowkin?
