I'm very excited about this. Ive never been interested in fantasy as a war game, but as a dungeon crawler I'd be all over it like a tramp on chips.

Of course the expansion are doubtful. Which is CRAZY. There has to be SOME awareness at GW about the current KS business model of selling several expansions per base game customer to get hundreds of currencies out of ONE customer. They did it themselves decades ago. Heck, Kirby himself rambled about their quasi obsessive collector customers they pretended to have. Perfect way to milk those completionist!
With all the changes at GW and "experimental" releaes and bundling, well, one can hope. Someone revived Harlequins. They realesed AdMech. Now Genestelaer Cults. Even if was because someone had to pilfer old WDs for things fans might want they'd have learned of their own expansion sets. Gorkamorka and Necromunda sort of had them even.
Of course Silver Tower has to sell first. I'm not expecting a CMON where the expansion is available from the start. But with all the supposed sculpts GW has hold back or scrapped it twlls me that they can afford to have capacity to design a few sprues worth of miniatures that they could turn into molds in case one of their board games is a hit or quitly scrap them if it tanks. Same with tiles, rules, artwork etc. and options to have them produced by their Chinese(?) contractors. GW should be able to release an expansion half a year after they get sale numbers, including shipping from Asia.
I don't expect thia to happen, of course. But it'd make so much SENSE.
Good thing that GW produces enough shirtless meatheads that I can convert into a classic Pit Fighter mit spiked fist, morning star and chainmail gloves (and a TOPKNOT, which I actuallyhate on everything else ), ebay stil has Witch Hunters every now and then and skellies, zombies and ghouls are ubiquitous. Heck, I could raise a warband of those just by opening arandom bits box if I don't mind giant heads and hands. Dogs are produced by other companies, both rotten and not and death wolves are not THAT ugly with different heads, anyway. Witches I have from Blood Rage and could make more from robed skaven and Necros and Flagellants. Now I'd only need some Empire Mitia dudes and a mercenary ogre... I just talked myself into a mew mini project

Is that pic from GW ? If so it is (even more) amazing .
Edit: probably not since it has boobs and the only place for woman in a official GW game is in a slaanesh or elven army.

Any likelihood of the heroes being released by themselves later on? Always good to have another warrior priest!

Hype level still high. I wanted to buy a Gaunt Summoner. So hopefully his inclusion in the art confirms his presense.
These boxed games have been great for getting non wargamers into the lore and larger games.

Maybe the beard is in fact part of the helmet, like the crest. Would be very useful for a naked woman.
....
I wonder if the Gaunt Summoner has a model in the box. The brute, though clearly a sorcerer, doesn't feel right as the final boss for me.

Yeah I like the look of the Flesh Eater battletome. The Ghoul side was one of my favourite parts of the VC. Tempted to get the army box but with Silver Tower coming out the week after dunno if I should...

Actually....someone on FB pointed that out about the Stormcast. The armor is quite different to other Stormcasts with a much longer(hair-like) mane...

You mean take a leaf out of mid-1990's Games Workshop playbook...when they popped out these hero packs and expansions for the original Warhammer Quest...
Ha I'd totally forgot about those. Hopefully someone at GW has a better memory than me Extra hero and villain models that could be used in both WHQ and AoS would be great.

True, but It'd be rather clever to put a female character right in front of us like that and no one figuring it out until the game's released.

Do you think the big guy the Fireslayer is fighting is a Chaos fireslayer ?
He has the same tatoo, a loincloth, almost the same haircut... and they are fighting together.
Do you see, next to the priest, a kind of creature, in the flames ? Is it an horror or something else ?
And do you think the barbarian could be an old Chaos guy ? The skull on his belt has 4 eyes.

Think the beastie that slayer is fighting is a daemon prince.
The beastie behind the warrior priest is a horror from what I can tell. Possibly phasing into reality in a burst of flame.
