Still looking forward to this, waiting on more team reveals...3 seems a bit slim for launch, hoping for 4-5 at least.

I fell asleep halfway through. Kinda bad when even the demo guy tells you it's best to just brick up.

And then explains that objectives spread around the board make bricking up good for surviving but not necessarily the best strategy for gaining objectives.

I am really liking the sepulchral guard. One reason might be that I am thirsting for some classical fantasy minis and the big companies are just not releasing something like this anymore.

Finally some news about the system.
It is coming in November

Shadespire and Necromunda at the same time!? Prepare thine wallet.

Dieing to get a hold of that Stormcast with the sword for an Emperor's Champion.

Oh yeah that's Necromunda month Seems like a big mistake to release those the same month.

Nah.

Shadespire is all new. Necromunda isn't. And neither of them will be bank breakingly expensive.

And they're pretty different.

Are those just more reissues of the same old minis but with a new game board?

No they're all new sculpts. The Stormcast being featured is actually a woman.

Shadespire's all new from what we've seen so far. The Stormcast shown is a female(a big deal was made about that when she was first revealed) and each model seems to have been made specifically for the box.

Ahh okay.. I don't play either of those factions so they look like all the rest to me. I am glad the Fem Armor is not so over the top, I did not even notice it was female.

Yeah, that's something I'm very happy about. We have possibly another one coming named "Blacktalon" that got shown in the trailer yesterday.

Severian Steelheart and Garek Gorebeard? I take it this game must have been written by famed GW rules writer Alex Alliteration.

Terrible names aside, game looks like it might be pretty fun. I wonder if they'll use it as a test bed for nailing down further AoS race designs.

Certainly useful for teasing, if not so much testing?

Also...BoLS.....eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwww.

The community site just posted this.

Saying that the game is 'available to order' next month with the first expansion in November.

I will insta buy it!

This is a must buy as far as I'm concerned. I bet I can actually get my wife to play it. I've been nudging her into the hobby slowly, and I see this being an ideal type of game.

Hmm, strange that the community site says the core box will be available "next month", ie September, and the expansions in November, but that poster says both the core box and expansions will come in November.

Gonna need me some clarification on this.

The game isn't even out yet and already needs an errata.

But seriously, they said it's available to order next month. It'll just have a longer pre-order period, like Lost Patrol or Gorechosen. There's no reason to believe the release date on the flyer is wrong.

I have a doubt. When they said "with the first of the warband expansions on shelves in November".

This expansion will be only Deathrattle Sepulchral Guard or will be more bands?

Well, I believe Hastings said Skaven and Shadowkin will have warbands in the game with one more warband that's still a mystery(likely Destruction to round things out).

Though unless Lady Atia/Sad Panda say anything I advise caution on that rumor.

Sad Panda is lost :(

Also i ask in war of sigmar about the exapnsion, and Lady said this :

"Something something new board tiles too something "


So if each band comes with boards.. other bands are comming.

I wish GW makes a lot of bands and faster than blood bowl teams.. to catch people in this game.

I know, I hope he's okay. :(

And yeah, hope this game explodes with content and support. I'm really looking forward to getting it.

Cardboard is so cheap there's almost no point in *not* including a themed board and cards with each faction box.

Cards and proprietary dice.

Seems a bit FFG for my tastes.

If they do the same 'card I need, models I don't want' route, I doubt I'll get into this.

Sad Panda is gone? How long has it been since he was last around?

(because if Sad Panda turns out to have been Alan Bligh I will be devastated.)

This is a board game. This is what board games are like now. Like, all of them. Even GW board games.
