But we don’t want you guys to have to squint at half-focused images taken by a gibbering camera familiar.

Let's hope this means GW is reconsidering its customer-hostile policy of revealing next to nothing before pre-orders go up, making customers rely on people who seem to take the worst pics (a coincidence I'm sure).

I honestly like a couple of the miniatures better now that I can see them more clearly.

And some fairly cheeky commentary from GW

So, it looks like some pictures of the new Warhammer Quest: Silver Tower miniatures have escaped the labyrinth of madness and found their way onto the internet. (Clearly this was Tzeentch’s plan all along.)

But we don’t want you guys to have to squint at half-focused images taken by a gibbering camera familiar.
Here are some proper quality images of the new miniatures for you to gawp at.

We’ll have more news on the new game soon, so stay posted.

Start your quest in stores on the 21st May:

And meet the team behind the new game at Warhammer Fest:

Lol Fantastic.

I really like all the miniatures. definitely on my to buy list right after deathwatch.

I like that the fyre slayer has a fyre poker.

Sooo yeah, someone over on warfo already has a copy in hand, apparently. Details on the rules (if he's not making it all up) here http://www.warhammer-forum.com/index.php?showtopic=240221&page=13

I hope it's full co-op. That means it could be played solo...
But the retailer info says 2-4 players. Hmmmm.

I'm loving the sorcerer and the ogre thaumaturge

The miniatures look amazing, but the board sections art is amorphous and NO PLASTIC DOORWAY CONNECTORS makes me sad. :-D

Yeah the door ways are a big miss for me too.

It looks like we still may be drawing random tiles since it looks like there's a card with a map setup. That's a good sign.

Heck, there may still be a randomized dungeon crawl tucked away in there...

From one of the photos it also appears that the monsters have a "Behaviour Table", which may imply that no dungeon master is needed, and thus enabling solo play. We have to wait and see.

I'm not a Tzn player, but man those look great.

This is going to get a lot of play at the FLGS.

Well, models look stellar. I would love this to have even some of the spark that the original WHQ had, so I'll be keeping an eye out for reviews of the game.

with this release of Tzangor Im hoping they release the Khornegor. Beastmen with Mastif heads and pawed feet. Leaders had Flesh hound heads.

It will be mine. Oh yes, it will be... Fantasy finally getting a boxed game. BOOYAH!

I hope they do Slaangor first, as Khornegor and Pestigor have already had models before, and Tzeench and Slaanesh always get left out.

What animal would Slaangor take after?

I could see Fiend-style heads for Slaangors. There used to be a metal Slaanesh Champion that had a Fiend head and it looked great.

Snake/serpentine for Slaanesh would make sense, as it has some precedent with Fulgrim and the mounted lord. Other than that, leopard beastmen would also be cool to see

Definitely snakeheads, for..reasons...

Love the FB's response with gibbering camera familiars.

Oh hey! It's Cataphract from Spacebattles.com! Your AoS posts there are great, keep up the good work!

The Slaangor in the 80's had primarily Bovine or cattle heads. They pretty much looked like the old keeper of secrets.

The pestigor were beastmen that were bloated and pox riden. The horns of each factions beastmen often grew into their chaos gods symbol.

The designation of beastmen would be cool for all factions. Perhaps this is GW's intent?

That said, I am interested in this game being absent from GW for several years.

I do hope they also incorporate Terrain and possible 3d objectives as well.

SB'ers are unavoidable.

Somehow feline beastmen for Slaanesh could fit.
No, Im not thinking cheetas and panthers, Im thinking cute angora cats all wacked out on catnip lazily jabbing at some close by distraction.
GW seems to be searching for a more family friendly version of slaanesh, and there you have it.

Warhammer: Age of Neko

I like it!

This needs to stop. There is literally no proof of this, but everyone and their dog keeps saying it.
Slaanesh isn't leaving and they aren't 'child proofing' it. If you disagree, please back up your statement with evidence other than "but slaanesh isn't in sigmar" because that's already been debunked.
What you posted was literally just a rumor circling the AoS forums created by detractors of the game to drum up hate.

95% of the new arwork is 'clean' though. No mud, no blood, no grit. Clean drawn stuff of only existing models, mostly mid-swing.
Agree with you on Slaanesh, though.

Anything that is even remotely negative that can be said about AOS, will be said.

That´s how it rolls.

Dunno, i find the battletomes pretty gritty and bloody, as well as the novels.

Khorgos khul is fething brute.

Well, it is true that, since there aren't really any humans left to butcher in artwork or stories that AoS IS more family friendly.

There is a difference in orcs fighting golden cans and khorne warriors ripping out human heads.

More news, i guess

So it seems that unlike the previous game, you can't level up your statistics, and you only keep equipment and skills between dungeons?

It says their renown will steadily grow...perhaps "renown" is a statistic/characteristic?

looks like it

Renown reads like points you gain by killing enemies, and then use to purchase skills. Those skills can be retained between dungeons, along with equipment. Doesn't mention any between-dungeons activities at all, like going into town etc. A shame if so. I haven't played WHQ but it sounded like fun. For those who have, how much of the appeal of the game would be lost with the above changes?
