This is a big one for helping this game get off the ground, support for non Chaos factions right out the gate!

For those not in the know what factions do those symbols represent?

I'm hoping the top right symbol is for free peoples, it would be great if stormcast weren't a part of this game. It would be too much like having space marines in necromunda, in theory they'd just wipe everyone else out.

I'll keep track of this in case any of the models excite me. I like the look of the Iron Golems and Darkoath from an overall standpoint but they're not what I'd want for myself; probably have to wait and see if the Tzeentch faction (I can only assume that's what the eye represents) tickles my fancy.

I don't think (and hope) there will be any warbands dedicated to a single god. Maybe a warband from each of the different realms.
Iron Golems=Chamon
The other warband=Ghur
and so on.

I think the eye is more likely Idoneth Deepkin

At a guess the 9 are from top left anticlockwise

Ironjawz, Daughters of Khaine, Legions of Nagash or FEC, Gloomspite Gitz, Idoneth Deepkin, Bonesplitters, Nighthaunts, Stormcasts.

Yep - it would mean that either one of the original six weren't chaos (i mean, how many versions of chaos can we really get?), or that a band not yet put onto the chart are still coming (skaven?...)

I see what you mean, it does read a bit like that. It'd be an odd way to introduce the new shadow-elves, though.

It also looks like it's almost superimposed over another symbol (see the partial swirl peeking out on the top left). Maybe they didn't want to spoil something? Or just botched arranging the nine and ended up with a 4x2 setup?

Some more info on the game from the seminar courtesy of warhammer weekly.
The chaos minis are not mono-pose. You will be able to build them with a variety of different weapons.
All the new warbands will have rules for AoS.
The game will have continued support in a similar style to Killteam.

I am loving the Iron Golems, they will probably be the faction I play in Warcry. It's extra cool they have weapon options and can be positioned a bit. Also glad to hear some other factions are getting rules for those who aren't interested in Chaos.

Yeah, I thought the same thing. But then I remembered my copy of firestorm and found this:

So I guess it's Nighthaunt? It's just different enough to leave some doubt and ambiguity though.

Yep looks like Nighthaunt to me and they are pushing Nighthaunt in a big way in AOS 2. It looks more likely from that image that the winged skull is FEC rather than Legions of Nagash. FEC probably suits the setting better.

I hope the 9 non Chaos factions were planned from the start and aren’t just shoehorned in as a response to people online complaining that it was Chaos only.

So we have 6 Chaos factions, and it's seemingly like we are getting each one from a different realm, which is very cool.

The Iron Golems are from the Realm of Metal, and it appears the other warband in the starter is from Ghur, which leaves 4 warbands unaccounted for. What 2 realms won't get a warband? Life and Light? Light and Heavens?

In the reveal video the Iron Golems are fighting a warband in the art in the beginning that is dressed in black, have stormcast style masks and curved blades. They look to me like they are from the Realm of Shadows.

Heaven and light would be my guess. Chaos warbands from Azyr wouldn't make much sense and GW have been fairly tight lipped about Hysh and its residents so far. That said I wouldn't rule out a realm of light Chaos warband in the future.

So we’ve got 14 icons to work with,and 1 not revealed yet (assuming they counted right. I just hope someone didn’t write that article while looking at the picture of 9 lit up icons (4 each edge and then Iron Golems in the middle), if it was someone non GW I would d figured it out wrong, but surely they should know their own stuff - so I hope it’s jut one not revealed purposely

I don’t think any of the originals aren’t chaos. Perhaps likely the realm option that people have suggested.

Shaven are chaos though so maybe not one of the 9. They could be in the realm ones somewhere though, or if it isn’t 6 variant realms then easily just one of the first 6.


My main question is when it and all the bands are out..

But also, if the 6 are new band sculpts (which it seems), and the 9 end up not being (which I wouldn’t be surprised, as that’d be a lot for first release, or even following - depending how they set up the book).
It would mean you just use existing models from the 9 factions, which is great, but for instance I have some Khorne mortals from that first big box, I’d quite like to use in Warcry as I don’t play AoS, but I wonde if they would actually fit in any of the 6 warbands

This is one of the first Warhammer Fantasy based things that has intrigued me (not the game, but the faction/models). Perfectly dark/Chaos-esque without being overdone and covered in spindly impossible bits. They would be a friggin' sublime Pitfighters warband for Mordheim as well.

I hear that. My group wouldn’t mind I’m sure, but I’d also like them to at least roughly fit weapon wise etc, so I’m hoping..

Me too.
Though the game too, I’d been intrigued but not enough to start it or play etc (and just lack of time..)
But this, I’d like to give it a try. Especially if it’s like any other war and skirmish games from the past.
(Anyone ever play Legends of the High Seas/Old West that GW did? But those, Necro/Mord, even Blood Bowl etc, I like building people up in a narrative..)

Vampires are part of the Legions of Nagash now. The winged skull is either LoN or Flesh Eater Courts the image plastictrees posted suggests its the latter.

I'm really excited for those Chaos furies.
I'm sad that the Adepticon tease of Warcry was substantially smaller than the pictures we got from GAMA. Almost nothing new was revealed for or about Warcry.

I also honestly think it is a shame there will be non chaos factions. I prefer games that don't try to be all things to all people, but rather focus on a tight theme and do it well. There is already Warhammer Underworlds for the small scale skirmish for everybody thing. Age of Sigmar itself could even fill that hole...

Underworlds most definitely doesn't fit what I'd call a skirmish game. It's more of a board game with set teams and as far as I can see it could be played with counters instead of the miniatures. I have zero interest in Underworlds because of that but I'm really looking forward to finding out more about Warcry.

Yeah me too.
Underworlds, the models look cool enough. Gameplay also even.

But if this has that custom skirmish style I’m looking for, then I’m in.


I also would have been happy with just Chaos, or maybe expansion way down. But just lots of factions battling it out couldnwork too I guess

Keen for more details on War Cry.

Are the warbands fixed? Does it slot somewhere between Path to Glory (skirmish to batallion sized battles) and Underworlds (fixed squad level combat)? Can one win, such as your Champion becoming Varangard, or is it your typical ‘biggest fish in the pond after X weeks’?

I’m totally sold on the models like, but must know more about the gameplay.

I would say that the top two are Savage orcs and Sigmarines respectively.

Bones in a lower jaw shape tied together by rope? Savages seems a given.

An even circle with a lightning zap? Stormwhatever Sigmarines.


Definitely looking forward to this. Seems a nice chunky fantasy necromunda with support up front, not a just a half-dozen gangs doled out over a year and then a fat load of nothing.

Definitely Bonespittaz.
I'll be optimistic and say the sigmar one will be for Free people. Though, I assume the non chaos warbands will be made from existing models, so who knows (that doesn't mean it won't be free people, they could just use the empire models.)

If we don't get Free People, I'm going to convert the Iron Golems into Savages of Sigmar. They already have little hammer icons, and most of them have hammer weapons. There already is lore of backwards tribes sacrificing people into volcanoes for Sigmar, so it's not un-fluffy.

As someone intrigued by the orruks / gobbos, the fact that there are 3 (Ironjawz, Bonesplitters, and Gloomspite Gitz) is pretty darn cool!

I don't have an interest in the Bonesplitters (the older Savage Ork line), but the other two - hmmmmm

Also wondering about using models from Underworlds here, given that a pretty fantastic variety of Gloomspite Gitz were released for it. Does it seem like that will be possible, or will there be new models, etc etc?

Same here . I've already gotten back in with Underworlds, but it'd be awesome to have a skirmish game option that doesn't require cards for folks who aren't into that

We don't really have information on the non-Chaos factions yet, but the current thinking is that while the Chaos bands are all new and custom made for this game, the non-Chaos factions will simply use suitable models from Age of Sigmar.

If you have the option for a goblin with a bow or a pointy stick, it won't matter whether you get that goblin out of a Night Goblin box, or a Shadespire band, or from a third party. It's just a goblin with a bow or pointy stick.

The bigger question is how much customization the rules will allow in general, and whether there will be much of a difference between the Chaos bands that have kits made for the game and non-Chaos bands that may draw their models from kits with more limited options (possibly going all the way back to Fantasy's rigid regimental organization).

Plus at least with the Iron Golems we get different races serving Chaos, so if you don't like ogres and dwarfs, you can instead convert a minotaur to take the ogre's place and an irate halfling from the new Blood Bowl kit because you know you want a Chaos halfling.

I expect that even if the rules end up sucking, you can do a good deal with models and conversions in Warcry and won't have to worry about whether your models conform to exact standards.

I don't particularly like the model, but at least it's a step up from Fyreslayers. The one I painted for Warhammer Quest had the entire appearance of his skin ruined by having tons of runes plastered all over it. Completely got in the way of getting a sense of anatomy.

This one could look good by cutting off the elbow hammers, giving him new weapons and maybe removing the helmet topper (or adding a horsehair tail to it so it doesn't look like it's... just there).

I like it. It's a new take on Chaos Dwarves. I kinda imagine him just gutturaly cheering on all the carnage. Kind of like that diminutive henchmen that revels in all the violence his masters are causing. And the fact that he has a different grip on each hammer is also a nice touch

I don't agree with this assessment. If you want limbs randomly sticking out of places, look at the new Chaos Terminators. Even by GW's standards, those are appalling. The Chaos Dwarf has raised upper arms that should be, and are, above shoulder level. The left arm is raised higher, so the shoulder plate is slanted and higher on his left. The hip is twisted with one leg back and one leg forward as if advancing. I have a really hard time seeing how you get the idea that the limbs are in the wrong places.

The muscles? Certainly not to everyone's taste, but that's simply the standard in Age of Super Buff Dudes. Everyone has that. Tzeentch's skinny librarians are super buff by any human standard. Khorne's blood blooders are even buffer. Have you had a look at the Fish Elves? Super buff, like you've never seen before on an elf. It may look funny applied to a dwarf if you are not familiar with the idea, but that aesthetic has been around since Fyreslayers and this Chaos Dwarf is nothing new in that regard. It's just how things in Age of Sigmar are.

I think several of the models suffer from some really bad poses. Like they are posing instead of fighting. But I guess for a bunch of people trying to get the attention of the chaos gods, maybe it makes sense that they spend a lot of time looking up in the sky and striking a cool pose.

And I don't like the general style of the gladiator/diving bell faction. I'm looking forward to seeing how the other chaos factions look, though. The Ghur ones look pretty good, aside from the silly poses.

Yeah, the sillier poses look like "victorious gladiator" poses as they promote their sacrifice to the Dark Gods. Certainly more classy than teabagging (leave that to Slaanesh?).

I like the general theme of the Iron Golems, but I really wish they had mail over the exposed abdomens to really cement the armoured Chaos warrior-smiths look. Exposed stomachs just seems a bit... odd. Especially combined with mail breeches and skirts. Something a bit closer to Chaos knights basically, Chaos warriors-at-arms

I like the Ghur warband a lot more than I like the Darkoath. They look more savage, and less 80s barbarians. The one thing I'm not a fan of are their bone weapons. Because they don't make any sense. I get that creatures are weird in AoS and chaos makes mutations, but one dude has a weapon which is just three different jawbones. Not lashed together, but a single bone with three different jawbones. Looks like the symbol Skaven occasionally use. And I can't imagine what creature it comes from.

I think for me, that dwarf has iron spikes inside his elbows where they bend. I understand that I am not inside his body, but for ME, if *I* had the spikes in my elbows, I could not bend my arms.. and it hurts to look at him.

Plus, with the hand grips/handles on the warhammers he has, he has NO ability to build torque as he swings them.. they ALMOST look like he should punch with them..

Really not a fan

Cut the mini-hammers off (gods, I didn't even see them until this discussion), cut the hammer heads and handles off and glue the handles between the hands and the heads. Model somewhat salvaged in two minutes.

He's very much the weakest member in tha band and the Iron Golems are FAR less cool than the bone band, IMO. And I'm not just saying that beause I really want the sabretooth skull for Atramentar pauldrons.

He's a solid sculpt. The torso has good mass for a 'strong' creature of his height, the shoulders are lifted with the pose etc.
The spikes arent in his elbows, they are next to them. On the top or bottom of the hinge rather than inside the hinge.
He has large triceps relative to his biceps, but thats not anatomically odd, its a larger muscle group.
Hes holding the hammers high, but the 'guards' are on his hands, not the hammers based on the paint colour choices, so he could be holding them anywhere.

Depends on the faction dude. Also a big difference between all the Chaos dudes painting the same symbol on their shields/armor and them all ordering the same embossed belt buckle from the ChaosBucklesNMore store.

When you think about it, the Chaos followers, while they looks somewhat ragged, are actually some of the most most image-conscious. They always make sure to have the right icons everywhere and probably spend a lot of time getting their look just right, trying to impress their gods. Even the nurgle guys with rusty weapons and armor and looking like slobs still make sure they have perfectly shaped icons on their armor and weapons, and sometimes shields shaped like flies. It is obvious their forges actually put a lot of work into getting a certain look.

Meet the Untamed Beasts – perhaps Warcry’s most savage warband (and believe us, they’ve got some stiff competition). Hailing from the Jagged Savannah in Ghur, these raiders have a distinctly old-school aesthetic that’s reminiscent of classic Marauders and barbarians of Warhammer’s past. If you’re looking for a warband that looks like it came straight from the pages of Slaves to Darkness, these are the guys for you!




Just as distinct as their Chamonite counterparts, the Iron Golems, the Untamed Beasts are nomadic warriors. They scorn those who indulge in fripperies like establishing permanent settlements or wearing forge-crafted armour, instead subsisting on hunting carnivorous beasts – or any unfortunates who’ve stumbled into their domain.




The Untamed Beasts have a really distinct and dynamic aesthetic that sets them apart from other Chaos models. Traditionally, the servants of the Dark Gods are trudging, resolute, ironclad creatures. Instead, each of these models is bursting with energy and dynamism. At first glance, you could well mistake the Untamed Beasts for hunting animals. Just as with the Iron Golems, the rich, dark world of Warcry has allowed our designers to shed light on new facets of Chaos, as well as giving us insight into life in the wilds of the Mortal Realms themselves.




Also, for fans of Warhammer critters like Gryph-hounds, vulcharcs and squigs, the Untamed Beasts are bringing us this awesome goat-lion thing. Maybe give petting him a miss though – unless you don’t mind losing a hand…

Can't lie, I love those.

There's quite a bit wrong with them, sure. Some wonky proportions and quite a lot of the weapons look downright silly - seriously, what kimd of twistes spawn would even grow jaws bifurated *and* ram-rod straight like that - but swap some weapons out and I'm in love. I feel like I have quite a few of those dudes from HATE the boardgame, too

Whip lady and spear guy and goat-lion, though. Marvelous. And beautiful skin tones.

PS: I guess without matching wrestling championship belts the gods/Archaon won't notice your team when points are awarded. Gotta dress sharp.

I think it's more a case of shared culture of the realm they inhabit and has nothing to do with Savage Orcs being a bad influence on them, one way or another. That's just how the inhabitants of Ghur roll. The Mortal Realms have that kind of "natural order" going on.

The more I see of Warcry, the more convinced we’re getting a matching Battletome for AoS.

I’d love to field this varied aesthetic as a complete army. Especially if there’s an army construction method along the lines of 5th(possibly 6th?) Ed Warhammer Chaos.

Pick a Character. Spend whatever you want. Then pick a retinue (relatively free choice of stuff, too) of at least equal points.

Give us the feel of otherwise disparate warbands and their champions coming together to wreck face.

No. That was FW led wasn’t it.
This is still GW, I think the warbands will all come out on release day.

Yeah, as a GW proper game the comparison is Kill Team and Shadespire. Even if the other warbands are not out on day one, it's a pretty safe bet that it will be a matter of weeks rather than one gang every quarter as for Necromunda.

I missed out on the Killteam box but I won't miss in Warcry. The Iron Golems look great with a ton of character. I like the terrain. I'm not a chaos player but if the rest of the range looks as good the Iron Golems I will pick them up. Now we just need a release date.

This is the most exciting GW product (at least to me) since Mordheim, I love how characterful the miniatures are. Hopefully we will get a look at some gameplay next weekend. Also it would be really cool to get some background and maybe a pic or two of some of the other four bands. If they are anything like the first two we are in for a treat.

They’ll most likely be spread over a few months.

Shadespire released much quicker than Necro. Almost two seasons in the same time as it took to get all six gangs. It had two in the starter and two the next week (or month? Dunno anymore), right. Four bands real quick would be a great start I think. I guess how quick the rest releases depends on the other, non-Chaos releases being bespoke kits or just rules.

I suspect that the other races are being given rules to play Warcry. I don’t think they are being “shoehorned” into the opening narrative, which appears to be chaos-centric.

I think this to be the case also. I imagine the core book probably won't even mention the other races. I think GW is just going to put out some PDF rules for them because so many people were asking for rules for other races. I wouldn't be too surprised if they put out a few boxed war bands for the other factions too, similar to the KT boxes or maybe if we are really lucky a mixed box of sprues (for example one sprue of skeletons and one of Grave Guard for five of each) at a slight discount. I doubt we will see any new models for them (At least Warcry branded) or any fluff beyond maybe a paragraph for each at the beginning of each list in the PDF. Maybe some will be included in a future expansion ( like Empire in Flames for Mordheim), though to be honest if a big expansion like that does come out I would rather just have more Chaos bands.

Indeed. They’ll get pdf, maybe a slim chance of something in the book, but I doubt that.
I could see boxes like you say, minus the discount bit. More if it has a printed version of the pdf or whatnot.

Yeah to readdress my over eager suggestion. All warbands At release, I think I meant more as in pretty sharpish rather than what I put, being all that weekend.

But there is nothing shocking about a Kill Team / Underworlds pace.
Bear in mind, all the models are done and most likely produced and in boxes ready (or in the next few months will be the case, that statement sort of depends when the ‘Summer’ release ends up being).

The point is, when this comes out. I will likely buy something from it, and then hope someone local plays the game

Kill Team had all factions in the core book. In spite of all the models being available at the time, they then released the actual Kill Team boxes over the course of months. By availability of the models, that was unnecessary. One assumes they just wanted to have fresh releases for a while to keep interest up.

I assume Warcry will see something similar happen, with a core box to set things up and then a couple of months that see related releases.

All new models is no hindrance to GW. Six warband kits and some critters for what is by all accounts this year's big summer release is hardly the biggest release we've ever seen.

Shadespire got its core box with two warbands, then another two within two weeks. That was at the end of October or start of November, if I recall, with the next two coming in February. It took Necromunda that long to get out Orlocks. By the time the six houses were released, Shadespire season 1 was wrapped up and we already had season 2 warbands.

So yeah, that doesn't even compare. If you want slow releases from GW proper, look at Blackstone Fortress. They are in no hurry there. But I see no indication that Warcry will go that way.

Waist height?

I don't as much like the Chamon guys, but these guys specifically would be really cool standard non-Chaos barbarians for other minis games, though. Especially if put together with the Godsworn from Underworlds, even though those minis all have steel weapons.

Did I miss anything about how many of them will be available in a set?

No info yet on set sizes.

Important thing to remember with regards to the whole "Realms" thing is that each has a different manner of "Realmstone". Ghur has what are effectively "bones" as its Realmstone; a material that is a bit more impressive than ordinary steel.

It's very possible that these guys use some of that material for their weapons.

I dunno, after nearly 25 years, I am mostly just interested in GW for the models, not the rules.

better if this has good skirmish rules, though, as GW stuff are pretty much the only minis games played in my area, so at least I can finally play skirmish games with someone, as I have no time to play armyscale games anymore.

The way he holds his sword (position of knuckles) indicates that he is about to use the sword as a club (hitting sideways while twisting the hands as in a baseball swing, thus loosing some control of the orientation of the toothed edge) anyway - so he seems to have already adapted to the helm and given up the finer parts of swordplay

That said, I see nothing wrong with a barbarian using force instead of finesse.

It that was a side way swing the Club had to be way lower and closer to his left shoulder.

Seriously, pick up a stick and pose before sculpting. It's a standing pose, not a jumping pose. Or you'll end up with awkward and very uncomfortable pose.

You know whilst I LOATH the deign choice of flat on flat connection points for all the arms, the most interchangeable and diverse kit GW ever did is the Slaanesh range. Seekers, chariots and deamonettes all use the same head and arm connection points so you can effortlessly swap parts between them. And as they use the same mounts the riders from seekers and chariots can swap over too. Far as I'm aware that's one of the few times GW intentionally did a kit that can swap over parts between kits so easily.

Those models look fantastic. I'm just worried they're all going to be 8 foot tall uber humans. I sure wish they'd go back to normal scale for AoS.

But they'll be a great pack of ogres if they end up being in 40mm scale!

guys, horned helms would be sure fire neck breakers in combat anyway. There is a very good reason they were never used in reality. They looks cool but they are nto practical.

and those horns would interrupt any two handed weapon stroke except for horizontal stroke aimed at waist height. ANy other stroke would require that the blad pass through the space occupied by the horns either at the beginning of the stroke or end of the stroke.

Released in July.

The Splintered Fang

These guys might hail from the Realm of Life, but they’ve got nothing but death for their foes! And snakes – lots and lots of snakes. These guys show off facets of Chaos rarely seen on the tabletop, as one of the insidious murder cults who use cunning as much as brute force to claim victory. Just like with the Iron Golems and Untamed Beasts, the Splintered Fang show off new aspects of Chaos – there’s even an aelf amongst them!

Those harpies/furies or hyrpies/fyries or whatever they are look great! I will likely buy too many boxes of them.

The splintered fang also have a great classic sword and Sorcery look to them. Some of their arms strike me as a little weird or off, but I'm still a fan. They have the advantage of using real weapons instead of meat tenderizers (iron golems give lots of bruises!) or jawbones (not actually great weapons irl), so my money is on them in "WarCry: Belt buckle throw down!"

The chicken thing's wings just look awful.

They're styled after Roman gladiators so no shoes makes sense.

Man I had decided the Iron Golems as my band but this ones? pfff.

Greco-Roman style all the way baby! This is how Slaanesh culitsts should look.

I love the black gladiator guy. INCREDIBILIS!

Just one more warbands was revealed?
I was expecting two at least, if not all the remaining ones..

There's 3 left.

It's going clockwise, based upon this:

It started at Adepticon with the Iron Golems, then we saw the Untamed Beasts at the Australian Open, and today we saw the Splintered Fang. We have the UK Wargames Expo in May still, and then we have June for the final bits to come out--with the release in July.


Bonus: here's the 'extras'. 3 Death(Soulblight, Nighthaunt, and Flesh Eater Courts), 3 Order(Daughters of Khaine, Devoted of Sigmar, Idoneth), and 2 Destruction(Ironjawz and Gloomspite Gitz)...which means there's one missing because it's supposed to be 9 non-Chaos factions.

There are 3 destruction in that picture.

Splintered Fang coming from the Realm of Life surprised me. Snakes and venom make me think of Ulgu, especially since Morathi is the biggest snake thing we have in AoS (Sorry Seraphon.)

We have eight Realms and six warbands. Azyr is obviously out because it's the no fun allowed Realm, but if I had to guess I'd also say that Shyish is the other Realm that's not represented. It wasn't the most friendly Realm to mortals before Nagash went off he deep end, and certainly hasn't improved since. Further I'd guess the eye is Hysh, the bird skull Ulgu and the flayed skin Aqshy, mostly because they have a history of savagery and cannibalism.

So at the seminar they mentioned that the 6 Chaos warbands are all new sculpts. They will get AoS warscrolls likely with the Slaves to Darkness keyword. There should be minis for other races that have fallen to Chaos like the Ogor, Aelf and Duaradin

The 9 other warbands will not get minis and will use the current AoS range. They plan to add new warbands for each grand alliance at a later date.

Kill Team is a good pointer for the number minis per side. Some will be more elite some less so, so warband sizes will vary.

I think we'd see a Shyish Warband before we see a Hysh. Though, it would be cool if they were all blinded. Not like Namartai reavers, aka, no eyes, but rather had to mutilate their eyes to avoid the blinding light of Hyish. Still, I'm thinking that the scythe would still be for a Shyish group. Maybe undead chaos followers? Or at least, Necromancers?

Unrelated, but it's pretty cool that we now have a: Chaos Dwarf, Chaos Ogre, and now a Chaos Elf.

I love these guys. To be fair I love all the factions they have previewed for Warcry thus far.

Now we have warbands from Metal, Beasts, and Life.

Geifer is onto something with the Bird Skull being Ulgu, though I think the flayed face is Shyish. Maybe the eye is Hysh.

Also worth noting that in the video introducing Warcry the art at the beginning showed a warband fighting the Iron Golems that had "spiked rings" around their heads similar to the symbol of the flayed face. I'm guessing the warband in that art is what the models from that faction will look like.

The guy with the snakes is probably my favourite model they previewed today, and my favourite for Warcry.

They said in the Q&A that the non Chaos factions are just rules for existing models to start with, but ‘who knows what the future holds for them’.

Speaking of helmets...the Idoneth have some very gladiator-ish ornamentation on their panzy heads.

The lord on deepmare with a few modifications (like a snake head or three for the mare) -> Lord of Slaanesh on steed, now that GW dropped the model. The Warcry dudes for marauders, snake leader (?) as a sorceror. A DoK Medusa as a spawn or hero or whatever (someone sell me one, please ). Nice little Skirmish warband.

If the other bands are as good Warcry would be the best thing to happen to Fantasy Chaos in quiiite some time.

Hysh and Shyish bands would both be awesome, I like the idea of blinded Chaos acolytes. I mean, we got ornamental poisonors for Ghyran! I would've expected, I don't know, maybe Nurgle stuff given his antics there, so they're hopefully imaginative with the rest as well.

Non-Chaos factions using AoS models was to be expected. Did they confirm that it's actually going to be nine and not just the eight we saw in the announcement video? People assuming it's going to be three per Grand Alliance have a good point, but I haven't read any account of GW correcting the video yet.

I expect the scythe is AoS proper, probably belonging to the next Mortarch. GW had an article that outright said one of Nagash's pals was locked away in a stormvault, and we got to see artwork of Olynder trying to release him.

Agreed on different races for Chaos worshippers. Adds a bit of fun having all sorts of stuff besides humans.

I'm working (very slowly) on a Skirmish band of gladiators styled after Egyptian gods - inspired by the DoK background of gladiatorial pits in Order cities. They are likely Tzeentchian in nature, but don't tell they city guard The goal was to have everyone in a different size and body shape, with different weapons.

I really hope Warcry gives us the tools to port stuff like this into the game. The kits are supposed to have weapon options, right? Hopefully gameplay is good.

I'm really hoping this will be a way to get my Orcs, Skaven, and Stormcast off the shelf. They were all painted up for Age of Sigmar skirmish, but noone local has any interest in it. I have used them successfully for home games One Page Rules and even Song of Blades and Heroes, but Warcry gives me hope, as there is a local scene for Killteam, locally, so maybe there will be for Warcry.

Would be great to play a skirmish game where I don't have to paint both sides and create all the scenery just to play. If need be, the Feral boys will be mine.

I believe it's 2 sets of those sprues in the starter box for 6 of each. No indication yet if they will be available separately.

Some more images from Garros facebook including unpainted minis and alt schemes. I think that Iron Golem with the helmet off is someones own conversion but at least it looks easy to do as I'd like a few without helmets. Iron Golems are my least favourite so far but it looks like they are in the starter.

I dunno about that... It is part of a starter/larger boxed set so there is a strong incentive both to conserve sprue space and to make the contents as straightforward as possible. And anything they did would have to be different enough to distinguish them from simply Slaanesh-marked furies. One could say any kit is a 'missed opportunity' to have it dual build with something else, for that matter.

TBF unless it were a very solid/heavily padded boot it would not do much against a hammer being dropped on it, bludgeoning force and all. Such a boot would no doubt be a hindrance when climbing over all the nice new terrain!

I'm not sure if we got that pic during the reveal, but they definitely used close-ups from that set up in the announcement video. I could have definitely missed it if we got the whole thing.

Also those Iron Golems with the alternate paint scheme look really nice.

It seems like GW will be releasing at least three warbands at launch (or maybe the third two weeks after launch). I'm really happy they are taking this approach. Part of what hurt Necromunda in my area was the drip feed of rules and warbands. I'm hoping we see all 6 Warbands around release, or at least like Shadespire with the Starter and then two more bands a few weeks later. If the rest of the warbands look anywhere near as good as the first three we are in for a treat.

Why would you think it isn't? All recent promo pictures for new products were the exact box contents, every time. And we've known the Warcry box is like 50% thicker than Kill Team from the very first teaser at GAMA.

Regular releases barely have that anymore, boxed sets like this were definitely unlikely to.


they're all plastic, so converting them is a trivial matter.

I’m fully expecting that’s gonna be the starter contents. I thought that seemed clear.

Looks nice.

If this is the starter set, hopefully they'll do the same as in Necromunda and also have the gangs available separately to get easy access to extra models.

Not contradicting you, but just to point out, some of us haven't handled the Kill Team box nor are we able to make sense of box render that isn't even the real thing. And when I say some, I totally mean me.

So in spite of good hopes and the educated guess of others, I for one will remain a little cautious until we have the existence and contents of the Warcry starter box confirmed by GW.

Sure, it is slightly less distance to get to the top, assuming you are coming from the right direction. Otherwise it's worse. And I guess the other nice thing about it is that you can possibly keep track of being part way up it by setting the model on one of the steps, if the base allows that. You can't really do that when climbing a vertical wall.

I would be really surprised if all of that was in the starter box. That is a lot of terrain.

If it is in the starter the starter will be priced at $200 USD or something. GW doesn't really surprise with value.

Starter boxes are much better value than standard kits.
The KT starter had quite a lot of terrain, and it seems like the Warcry box is actually bigger, so it does look like it could contain all of it.

I'm just hoping that most components will be available separately from the get-go. It's unusual, but not unheard of. And given the likely price tag, would really help the game take off.

I forgot the exact figure again, but the Killzone boxes are bought were between 40% and 50% cheaper compared to the individual price of the components. That's reasonable. And not just reasonable for GW, but reasonable in context of the wider market.

GW starter sets and bundles like that are actually decent.

Looncurse and Carrion Empire were not long term products anyway; they were always going to be short term products designed to only work for half a year or so at most. Killteam is a bit of an oddball because it is a longer term game, but I think some of that was GW testing the waters.


Warcry I suspect will be a medium term product unless GW is making it into AoS Killteam. Ergo it will last for a good while but its not going to last as long as, say, getting started sets. This is even more the case if (as I suspect) we will see GW roll the new models from Warcry into a big Slaves to darkenss/Dark Oath army release.

There are- most of the walls in the image above are the existing AoS walls. What is interesting about that image is it shows new components that expand the existing terrain with extra modular pieces, like stairs and the bell tower. The basic ruins are pretty bland, so the extra components help hugely in providing variety, detail, and visual interest to an AoS themed ruined city.

Those are not the regular aos walls. The shape and size is the same but the detailing is different. You can see them up close on the reveal video. That does mean that they will probably be compatible with existing terrain.
I imagine they will put out new terrain and board packs as they have done for Killteam.

As someone who possesses an entire table of Mordheim terrain (most of which is hand-made) I'm looking forward to any kind of skirmish game I can use the figures for - unlikely to be Warcry itself of course, but I'm loving the aesthetic (and I generally dislike AoS aesthetics so that's saying something).

Welcome to the jungle!

I couldn't get anyone to play AR, sadly. Even with all the sick helmets.

I hope Warcry is easy enough to use as an intro game for my 9 years old nephew. A simple but fun game, with easy to manage but somewhat impactful upgrades that plays super fast and has easy bookkeeping would be ideal. And all that terrain wouldn't hurt, either. If it's the Iron Golems and Untamed Beasts plus terrain and the NPC monsters I hope they'd stick to the Kill Team starter price, which was a good offer...that I didn't buy fast enough. More and this is probably dead.

Yes, walls. Usable, modular, combinable walls. Compared to the latest terrain release which is just flat surfaces and some pillars this is much more up my alley. And then there's the gangways, ladders and obstacles, stuff that's sorely been missing for a while.

I'm getting the urge to buy one of each ruin kit and build a few tiles of fantasy zone mortalis.

Yeah, those Azyrite ruins and townscape look way more modular than they really are. There are very few options with them, so you can't really fill a table with them. Buying a second set would mean a lot of identical pieces.

I never checked the spues before now. That's actually disappointed. Just from glancing at them I would have guessed they're like Cities of Death tiles, but no. Rigidly cast large sections it is.

Hopefully Warcry terrain will be better, but with Gw you never know. Monopose walls ahoy!

Post by: Albino Squirrel


Yes, that's why I'm looking forward to this new set. Hopefully it will be much more modular, and hopefully stackable which the current ones are not. The Azyrite Townscape really only has two ways to put it together. The way shown on the box, or you can put the two long pieces together and the two short ones together, but then the floor pieces don't work out that well. But at least you can end up with four different corner pieces. But that's all the options, and you can't stack them to make anything higher.

Corvus Cabal

Meet the Corvus Cabal – a shadowy pack of murderers hailing from Ulgu. These guys worship Chaos as a vast, black-feathered bird known as the Great Gatherer, offering trophies stolen from their victims to this strange deity. The Corvus Cabal have come to the Varanspire to seek the patronage of Archaon, who they see as an avatar of the Great Gatherer. They use stealth, guile and unnatural cunning to claim victory in the Bloodwind Spoil.

Not sure how likely that is. I've ruled out Shyish as a realm of warband origin for myself, leaving Aqshy and Hysh. I guess you might get a a monk robe theme for the enlightened realm, but given Aqshy is home to all sorts of half naked people, I'd assume you'll get some more muscle and flesh yet.

Actually they ALL appear to be of the Undivided Allegiance. What sets each of them apart is what realm they come from.

Iron Golems - Chamon
Untamed Beasts - Ghur
Splintered Fang - Ghyran
Corvus Cabal - Ulgu

This is a look at Undivided based on different realms.

Truthfully, it looks/seems like all of the warbands are meant to be Undivided, simply worshiping Chaos rather than a specific deity.

Iron Golems wrote:Like all Warcry warbands, the Iron Golems offer a more complex, nuanced take on Chaos than we’ve seen before. The Iron Golem miniatures combine classic Chaos aesthetics with cultural cues based on the Mortal Realm from which they originate. Hailing from the Realm of Metal, these warriors are renowned for the quality of their smithing, believing themselves chosen by Archaon himself to forge arms and armour for the Slaves to Darkness.

These guys show off facets of Chaos rarely seen on the tabletop, as one of the insidious murder cults who use cunning as much as brute force to claim victory. Just like with the Iron Golems and Untamed Beasts, the Splintered Fang show off new aspects of Chaos – there’s even an aelf amongst them!
If you’re a fan of the more seductive, civilised side of Chaos, or you’re looking to conquer Warcry through dirty tricks and judicious use of poison, this is the warband for you.


Corvus Cabal wrote:Meet the Corvus Cabal – a shadowy pack of murderers hailing from Ulgu. These guys worship Chaos as a vast, black-feathered bird known as the Great Gatherer, offering trophies stolen from their victims to this strange deity. The Corvus Cabal have come to the Varanspire to seek the patronage of Archaon, who they see as an avatar of the Great Gatherer. They use stealth, guile and unnatural cunning to claim victory in the Bloodwind Spoil.


Each of these have shown off not an aspect of one of the Powers, but rather a Realm. So we've seen:
Chamon(Metal/Iron Golems), Ghur(Beasts/Untamed Beasts), Ghyran(Life/Splintered Fang), and now Ulgu (Shadow/Corvus Cabal).
That leaves us Aqshy(Realm of Fire), Shyish(Realm of Death), Azyr(Heavens--Sigmar's Realm), and Hysh(Tyrion and Teclis' Realm) with no representation.

Two of those Realms(Hysh and Azyr) don't seem like they'd be the place where we'd see baddies springing up from, but there's only 2 Warbands left unrevealed so it's likely that we'll be seeing the remaining two(Fleshy Face and Chaos Star) coming out of Aqshy and Shyish.

I just wish we'd have ANYthing on gameplay so far. I really need this to be as good as Underworlds, so I'll get to actually play it.


Actually they ALL appear to be of the Undivided Allegiance. What sets each of them apart is what realm they come from.

Iron Golems - Chamon
Untamed Beasts - Ghur
Splintered Fang - Ghyran
Corvus Cabal - Ulgu

This is a look at Undivided based on different realms.



While the realm is most important, there's still too much of a similarity with major gods for three of the bands to them not worshipping an aspect of the pantheon - knowingly or not. It's something that cropped up a lot in older WHFB and 40k stuff but had taken a backseat for most of the more recent editions. Worshipping the Great Gatherer might not make Tzaangor Enlightened turn up on your doorstep, but you'd still strenghten Tzeentch (or one of his Greater Demons or princes).


I'm not saying that it's 100% for sure that the meat tenderiser wielding smith dudes in red armour are leaning Khorne, but it's certainly possible. This makes porting over Khorne bits easy - and the other way round - but you can also paint them bright pink or black or white, it's subtle enough to not shoehorn you into a niche. I like it a lot.

I don’t see any elements here that bring aligned cues forward to me. Like has already been said, I see themes from their realms of origin, which I think they are doing well.

In terms of the remaining realms, I think we are in for a surprise. I think one will be from Hysh.

Another great warband. I really want to pick most of them.
I'm hoping the next one will have a little less flesh/muscles, just to add more variety.


I think the Death? (At least that's my guess) warband will have you covered. In the intro video to the game there is art of a warband fighting the Iron Golems that are wearing flowing robes or long clothing, have masks with "iron halos" that match the one above the emblem of the flayed face and have curved blades and spears.

I dig the Corvus guys. I love how individual the warbands are.

I mostly curious about price at this point, and what bands come in the starter.
My guess is snake dudes and bird dudes are separate from the starter, and we get my two least favorite bands in the starter...:(

Favorite thus far is the snake army, followed by bird army, then bone weapon army, then iron golems are dead last. Did I miss anyone?

Starter box showed Iron Golems versus Untamed Beasts in the artwork so they are probably the starter minis. But yeah the Splintered Fang and Corvus Cabal are more interesting. Hopefully the boxed game is around the £105 mark they are currently charging for starters with warbands around £25?

Good point/info. That probably means I don't buy into it as a game, but buy just the harpies and snake and crow guys off eBay. At that price the starter just isn't worth it for me given the only miniatures I like in the starter are the harpies.

There's hints toward Old World marauder clan worship.

The Golems lean toward Khorne in appearance and warlike aspect.
There is an aspect of Nurgle in worshipping a carrion bird, and I think some of the old clans followed the plague god.
The Splintered Fang probably have poison in their repertoire, which i would call an aspect of Slaanesh.

I'm probably going to pick this game up, even if it's just to have a bunch of unique sculpt warbands to paint up.

Not yet. We're still at least a month from release, which is too early for rules previews.

Also consider that GW is taking their time and only showing off the warbands one at a time.

The Warhammer Age of Sigmar Open day will also be the first time ever that you’ll have the chance to play Warcry


Pre-order same day (20th) for a July 27th release I'd say going by that or it could be a 2 week pre-order

Worth pointing out that GW gives the pre-order date for these things. A rare two-week pre-order on the last weekend of July, in stores basically in the middle of August, would still be advertised as July 2019.

On one hand I'm bummed at the lack of poseability/set loadouts; but then I think back to Mordheim and think these new bands equate to those types of games. Mordheim were all single posed metals. The new generation are plastic. Theres an improvement there, even if it doesn't go as far as genuine multipart/option kits.

At least they dont have the Necromunda treatment of 5 base minis with simple hand swaps being the best that can be done without material gutting and gluing and greenstuffing.

They did that last year with the Nighthaunts battletome. The teaser trailer said June, yet it went on pre-order June 30th for a July release.

Don't know why we are having this debate. I would put good money on the preorder date being July 20th to coincide with the open day where it will be playable. They did exactly the same thing with warhammer Quest when it first launched.
