What didn’t make it? That’s where we first saw everything, and I don’t remember there being anything not in there that we got for AoS (that would be appropriate in Warcry).

I dunno, Cursed City doesn't have a reason for warbands of every faction to be swarming the place. And we have barely scratched the surface of places IN the bloodwind spoil.

I was wrong, misremembered things. Thank you for the correction!

True, but a lot of justifications for Warbands of certain factions being in the Bloodwind spoil are REALLY thin.

That said, I'm not saying GW should stop the exploration of the Bloodwind Spoil, but a Campaign book and a box or two set in the Cursed City would be a lot of fun.

They gave us a free document with a bit of rules support for it, which I think is great. I have a really hard time seeing how a full campaign book or multiple campaign books in the cursed city would be a good thing compared to setting them in the Eightpoints.

I'll say it, I'm surprised to see they did include the non named special units from Cursed City. Very nice.

Dire Wolves and Fell bats aren't included because they're still treated as thralls from the Death faction book, I guess.

I'm hoping this is just an appitizer for more stuff in the second half of the year. I'm sure the new-cast will get a warband, but hopefully new chaos stuff comes with them.

Honestly I am down if Warcry doesn't get any releases until the next tome of champions. Not just GW but many companies in gaming have just been relentless and I wish everything would slow down.

Since they eventually go into AoS battletomes as well, there's still some room for them to do it.

But I rather expect more warbands coming from the new battletomes / units for AoS for some bit of time first.

I think we approach things differently then- I'm a pretty specialist buyer and collector so in general while I wish GW would make more things I'm interested in there are typically only around 4-6 new kits a year I feel really interested in purchasing. So me wanting more warcry is very much me wanting a reason to give GW some money, as I'm not gonna part with it for the generic stuff they release. (Though they nearly had me with the new stormcast - and would have had me with Fimir!)

I mean book-wise. In terms of kits there are tons because new AoS releases get Warcry rules. The above mentioned free download introduces a bunch of new units to Warcry.

I'm sure those will continue, but it's the dedicated kits I'm looking more forward to, if they ever begin making new ones.

Fine for me as I never got the 1st edition and passed on Catacombs as I didn't like the terrain that came with it. As long as a second or third edition has better/more useful terrain I will probably dive in.

Still have the Bladeborn* boxed set(a page or 2 back) to be released, right? Or was it one of those Barnes+Noble exclusive type things?

*Edit: On second look, Its not overtly labeled as Warcry, but shares similiar graphic design.

Age of Sigmar has been very good about backwards compatibility so far, to the extent of GWs infamous 'made with the next edition in mind' claims being not only true but done reasonably well. I think we can rest easy on that front.

Does anyone know how similar to warcry this is? Would be interested to try it, but not so keen if it can't be expanded into Warcry...

I play...

I don't know if I would want to base any assumptions on Age of Sigmar, but I certainly think Octarius is not a good indication of what's going to happen. A new edition of Kill Team specifically needed to not be what the previous edition was, a half-assed port of a shoddy rule set not made for skirmish sized games. The execution of Octarius may be debatable, but at least in principle it gets it right by providing a new rule set tailored to the skirmish game it is and thus provides the necessary foundation for the game to work well. Warcry is already there and a new edition doesn't need to stray from the established system the same way Kill Team did.

That doesn't mean there's no reasons for sweeping changes left. Maybe the game didn't sell well and GW thinks a more polished new edition in the way AoS implemented things isn't enough to remedy that. Maybe the Warcry we know was the proof of concept to sell management/accounting on an AoS skirmish level game and now that it's proven profitable they get to make a new edition that is closer to what they originally wanted to make but wasn't deemed a safe investment at the time. There are more variations on these themes, but you get the idea. GW doesn't need a reason for a complete upheaval other than that it's a proven method of making people rebuy the same things. Similarly they don't always rely on huge changes because refinement also sells.

I think it's tough to predict how a second edition of Warcry might look because we don't have any real precedent that is relevant to Warcry specifically at this time.
