Serious question as I've never paid attention to this line before:

A friend is interested in buying the new starter and the new Goblin warband. Is that enough for two people to play or does everyone need a starter? Will there be a shortage of generic cards with just the one set?

Yes, it will be enough and no you won't have a shortage of generic cards with just the one set. It gives duplicates of the generic cards in the main starter, but the Goblin warband will have generic cards that will only be available within that set.

Also there's new versions of some of the original Shadespire generic cards in the main set, but it looks like most will be in the Steelheart's Liberators and Garrek's Reavers sets if those get released separately.

OK, thanks, everyone!

Yup.

Reckon we’ll see the warbands released before long

Yeah, so, since the war bands are all 17.50 each and the old boards are being re-released at 20, I’d advise just getting the old box if you haven’t already and if you even slightly like either band. I think Dark Sphere still has a few for 30…

That’s a fair point.

Nab a bargain whilst ye May.

Moonclan Grotz and the Nighthaunt warband (what actually finally tipped me into AoS after a long protest) will actually tempt me to finally get into and try out Underworlds, I can't resist Moonclan Grotz and squigs x_x. Silently hoping that the Fungoid shaman and this warband means maybe will see something coming for Moonclan grotz in future...

I heard the grot warband also has 3 bow grots. That seems like a pretty big warband. That would be over 7 models. Maybe in the setup the squigs are placed on hexes adjacent to the armored herding grot?

Regardless i'm ready for them to unveil the full models for the grots/tzeentch. Last year when the shadespire box launched they had already full revealed the first expansions. Not sure why they haven't shown them off yet as they will probably release in november or something.

I was looking at the KO thunderer and based on the gun handle it looks like a regular aethershot rifle so nothing too wild in terms of his weapon. The kharadrons are the warband i've been looking forward to the most but with my luck they will be the last one to release next year.

In Shadespire, they actually had all the factions named and talked about in the main box's rulebook.

That is not the case in Nightvault.

Yeah and this kinda bugs me cause it means only 2 of the warbands get a lore section. The book is light on lore anyways and since they revealed all the warbands in that video I don't understand why they wouldn't just give some attention to the other warbands in the rulebook as well. It's not like they were trying to keep some kind of big secret on which factions get a warband. They made some odd decisions regarding this.

I think they actually were planning on keeping it a secret. Remember that the video came after the leaked images of the Moonclan and Tzeentch and rumors started circulating over the Troll being part of Moonclan and it being a 9 model set, etc.

I'm thinking that the boxed sets are going to include a lore booklet for the faction and their AoS proper rules in a physical format. It's just a hunch at this point, but it feels like it might be something.

It's interesting, because it's not the first time a leak has resulted in more info being posted on Warhammer Community the next day.

I'm pretty stoked, because I prefer to know what's coming, and we still have all the model reveals yet to go . But it is funny that we probably wouldn't have seen any of the box art yet if not for the leak!

The nightvault playmat thing has a spot for a hex round tracker but I don't think they make round trackers for the game that fit on that spot. I guess I could make my own little thing to put there. I'm probably gonna get the playmat just cause this game can get cluttered looking on the table sometimes.

So the Grot warband does consist of 9 models! Each individual must be pretty weak, then, I suppose,

Hard to see in much detail but i'm glad the fanatics chain ball is attached to the base instead of flying overhead. It is a lot less likely to break, and the pose looks pretty wild.

Wow, we all owe the guy who was saying he had a source and they were 9 models an apology now... he was spot on!

I wonder what thw other warband being released will be... Finger crossed for darkoath (but knowing my luck they will be dead last lol)

With only 7 starting spaces are the Squigs summoned somehow?

It's gonna be Tzeentch, says so on the preview. They might release in the order shown in the video. So far it makes sense, unfortunately Kharadrons probably last.

I feel like the night gobbos will be tough to play, they have a lot of stuff to micro manage and are probably weak individually. I have a good feeling the fanatic will a actually move using the scatter template, so you could potentially hurt your own units.

7 Goblin and 2 companion squig, doesn't seem to complicated.

Could be good if they have synchronized action like charging/attacking and good Move.

But then if they only have 2 wound, spell that cause damage to multiple targets along with shardgale turn them inito easy Glory point farm

Or they start adjacent, or in enemy territory, or random hexes... The world may never know... *CRUNCH*

Got my starter, really like it. Started doing the assembly and painting videos for people new to minis.

Putting the Nighthaunt together was much easier than the Sigmarines. They also have clever little extra guide pegs for attaching them to the bases the right way, which I'm surprised we didn't see before but I would bet will be a design touch for the blob of something attaches to base going forward.

Oooh...I do like the goblins. I can see myself picking up mist of these warband just to paint some different models from my usual armies.

I'm sitting here trying really really hard not to start having ideas on how to use them for my WiP Mordheim Night Goblins given I just bought a box of infantry to do them only recently...and I suspect I'll lose in the end

Those goblins are pure win! Only the trolls box left and its going to be some great add ons for my AoS army.

Please may we get new squigs that look like this for moon clan grots please please please Games Workshop gods please...

Loving the Fanatic having a drink while on the job.

That Tzeentch sorceror... oh yeah.

We need a big box of squigs please!

So... comparing the squigs with one of the unresolved images from the rumour engine it does not look like the teeth belong to the squigs... Interesting...
