I see Battlecat in my Shadespire future.

Quick questions:
I didn’t get shadespire, if i bought nightvault today will I be out anything?
Are there items that are needed besides the main box and any group I want (skaven)?

Basically, what is necessary and what is rarely if ever used? I am a freaking collector though , so I’d most likely want ALL THE THINGS!

Thanks guys

I'd say you're good to go with either shadespire or nightvault and your warband of choice.

It'd be nice if they'd release a set of counters so one didn't have to actually buy the base game, and could just pick up a board of choice and tokens and be on with it.

Thanks, local shop is doing a customer appreciation day, so they are actually doing a discount. Rats, and Banshees and Sigmarines. Oh my .

If you pick up Nightvault or Shadespire, you're set. That's where the tokens and stuff are--although I would genuinely suggest Nightvault over Shadespire, since Nightvault includes the rules for magic but Shadespire didn't as the mechanic wasn't in the game yet.

And if you want to get "all the things", you'll want the Garrek's and Ironheart warbands in the separate boxes as they have the remaining cards for Nightvault.

Yes. Yes they do. And they’re called “thagomizers” actually.

Thanks, just back from the shop, they were doing a demo of the game while I was there and I grabbed Nightvault(no shadespire there ) and Spiteclaws Swarm. I assembled my Skaven Bloodbowl team last night, so these guys are joining them in the cue.

Nice thread. Subbed.

“Shadespire” is no longer in print. Nightvault replaced it as the game’s starter set.

I found that out, but luckily a local shop still had a copy, I fixed that for them .

New free for all format coming in July White Dwarf...

I'm really stoked for that . Hopefully there are some guidelines on what model to select so everyone doesn't just bring Mollog, though! Looking forward to checking it out

Really cited about this. Someone at the event this weekend (grand championship I think?) said it’s $20, but more likely £20 since it was being shown in England.

£20 seems a very good price.....

Isnt that the cost of a warband, already?

Slightly more. Warbands are £17.50.

And your getting two warbands, a board section, rules and stuff. So it’s a really good deal. When they said $20 that’s insane because GW conversion rate is £20=$35.

They're just the ETB kits repackaged, right? Even so if it's that cheap I"ll probably grab it. Always nice to have variety to let players choose from, considering I'm the one who always seems to have to supply materials.

I've taught Underworlds to my students before. At least this is a reasonably priced item they could pick up themselves if they were interested.

It's two of the ETB kits repackaged, yeah.

£20 seems unlikely now as apparently news from the Grand Clash is Dreadfane is a US/German only release like Combat Arena.

Probably not missing out on much as it’s aimed at beginners both warbands have set decks and there are no unique universal cards.

No! Not again. Was bad enough with Blitz Bowl and Labyrinth of the Necrons.

When was it announced that Combat Arena was US only?

Nice to see they manage to print cheap cardboard and card with that set, meanwhile some other customer buying other products had to pay a lot for cardboard and card.

Escalation will have the same heroes plus the Cultists and be available everywhere.

I’m sure both warbands will get separate releases later withfull card support, just like the season one warbands are now separate sets. Jerk move for collectors, but it’s a great way to get new players just like the battle for Valdor(or whatever they were called) sets.

I don't get it. Is it just an introductory set for Nightvault? The Nightvault starter is already pretty cheap. Or is it the start of a separate game using the existing warbands?

It’s an introductory game being distributed through an alternate distribution channel, I.e. bookstores instead of FLGS. It’s super cheap in hopes of getting families who normally wouldn’t stop into a game store to pick it up. Makes it harder for gamers to get, which is why the warbands will be sold separately later, but completionists will go to crazy lengths to grab these up. Since it was displayed at the toy fair it will most likely go through the same channels that Bloodbowl 7s went through which means US and Germany only, but if other distributors made deals with GW at the toy show we could see it in other places as well.

Well, this is kind of big news: https://www.warhammer-community.com/2019/07/10/underworlds-for-under-10sgw-homepage-post-3/

So, there will be a kids version of Warhammer Underworlds. And news about Season 3 will be coming at the Open Day on July 20th.

Oh HELL yes

wonder if the kids version might have "upwards" compatibilty with the original sets.

Kinda like Mage Wars and Mage Wars Academy tried to do
