Looks good

Map gives a AOS themed Mordheim theme



Map seems to link into the various bad guy lords in the border?

As two GW designers round a blind corner and collide together:
"You got Blackstone Fortress in my Mordheim!"
"You got Mordheim in my Blackstone Fortress!"

I’m guessing the expansions will be for new part of the city.

Very, very excited for this.

Look like 8 heroes from the box. Aside from the Vampire hunter the other revealed 3 from the animated didn't look too exciting.

Also prepare for 60$ expansion, which in 2021 might be 75 because inflation yo.

Other than it being a city of the dead, I am not getting any real Mordhiem vibes off this. Well I could see the map art being a bit of a reminder. Seems much more like Castle Ravenloft but Age of Sigmar to me. Which I am totally down for.

I was thinking/am hoping for that as well. Perfect opportunity.

Wondering if the other three people on the map represent some of the other bosses we can enconter.

Gorslav's shield corresponds to one on the map. The other three could be some of the currently greyed out ones?

Glad I'm not the only one who immediately thought of Confrontation Griffins upon seeing that Witch hunter (who looks really nice, by the way)!

The silhouette standing in for the heroes on the WHQ page matches the guy sitting on the throne at the start of the video. Both the sword and the fur on his left shoulder fit. So... is he a good or a bad guy?

Bringing this over here to have the discussion in one place.

Other than that: really looking forward to this. This feels very "oldschool Warhammer" in style to me, which I like a lot. The setting also makes more sense to me than both "Silvertower" and "BSF", another plus for me.

I'm sure I won't love all the models, but I like everything I see so far. I dread the price of the box though...

This might be linked to Hangman's Copse?

Hangman’s Copse
This is the bat-infested site of a former Sylvaneth embassy.

Wonder what the play area will look like? I mean, the other three were all rooms and corridors. But the setting here is a city.

Might be like Blackstone that you go to areas and then spawn the relevant map?

Also, I’m expecting stock issues with this, given peeps will be informed by BSF’s limited releases.

Makes sense to me! The zombies (?) in the video at ~0:30 all look like they're still carrying around parts of whatever they were buried under ... ?

Also solves multiple Rumor Engines :

2020-09-15 "meathook" :
Gorslav

2020-08-14 "halberd" :
leftmost guy next to the map

2020-12-06 "wolf" :
looks a lot like the wolf cloak of the main antagonist

2020-12-16 "hammer"
2020-12-19 "rifle stock" :
both Jelsen Darrock

Sure that several more will follow.

The website also gives us two more silhouettes
(and the one for the opponents looks like a skeleton)

This looks cool! I'm not current with GW stuff, do folks think this will be GW's new "40mm" super scaled figures, or more in line with their classical minis (heroic 30mm). I left GW fantasy once their giant humans became the norm, but BSF 40k still seemed to have normal sized humies.

Will be watching this!

Catacombs, sewers and the insides of large buildings would all fit the more traditional dungeon crawl. But city's(even fantasy ones) have lots of open spaces that could be used. Problem is the cardboard count to cover both would be substantial. Could work for expansions though, especially as there could be some Warcry crossover potential.
And speaking of crossover potential. This game has IMO loads of it. The AoS range has got so many models that could drop straight into this game.

This looks really freaking good. I've been meaning to buy Blackstone, but this one is way more exciting in theme.

If you look at the map it's all specific locations, there probably won't be open street fights.

so this should be the pose of the sword-wielding hero (silhouette) :

...and this is probably one of the skeletons with spiked helmets in the left-side background (silhouette) :

Some sort of Sister of Sigmar/Battle Nun/Mage in the line up the head dress is almost Cypher Lords like.

I just kind of noticed...

with that leaked picture, we have a band consisting of a Witch Hunter, a Soldier, A Battle Wizard, a Wanderer Aelf, and a Kharadron Duardin...

We have the Ubersreik 5 reimagined.

If this follows the traditional cell Quest formula, I can't imagine there being enough tiles in the box to make a proper city block. Cardboard is expensive.

Oi, is that a female sigmarite paladin?

Yeah, not seeing a Mordheim theme.

Any retro-Mordheim game would surely incorporate some "go-find-Wyrdstone" and probably some Skaven as the main theme.



As said, this looks much more Ravenloft / Victorian Horror / Vampire/Zombies/Werewolf-themed.

That witch hunter is absolutely gobsmackingly amazing and what I've always wanted to see in plastic. I feel sad that Devoted of Sigmar are basically relegated to a single unit choice atm, but maybe this is a sign of them making a return? Expecting the sprue/bits for him to sell like hotcakes on eBay for all the other things he can be used as.

As a previous poster noted, it does give Vermintide vibes with the group composition. Looking forward to seeing how it plays in comparison to Mordheim and BSF.

I'm am so down for this and it will be a day one preorder for me. It gives me very strong AoS meets Darkest Dungeon meets Castlevania vibes.

I mentioned in the Preview thread, but best to keep discussion in one place - but I *really* hope the newly Crimson Court Underworlds team will be statted out ready for use - as well as the Flesh Eater Court one (been waiting for a n excuse to justify picking that up!).

So excited for this boxset.

Hammerhal and Silver Tower were both AWESOME, so I'm 100% stoked to get this and run through the campaign with my group!

so, is the vampire with bats in the hair going to be part of this? I notice it has the skull on ground piece that seems to be present in these kits (like BSF had those pieces to add to bases).
