This really REALLY appeals to me. I have Dungeon Saga Origins, Hellboy, and Hero Quest for creature and Hero models and I think the Morticians Guild from Guild Ball would make some very thematic Necromancers.

I'd rather have a printed book, though, but I'm thinking importing from the US to the UK will be a pain in the wallet.

I'm tempted too. Could look into splitting postage? Where abouts in the UK are you?

Guys, Wargames Vault has print on demand facilities in the UK

How does it work with choosing your undead? Is it totally up to you what your force will contain, assuming rating level is met, or are there some limits for particular undead, like no more than X of Y? Can all 6 variants of wizards choose any undead or do they have some different limitations?

Depending on your Legacy you may have some restrictions. Each undead minion has a rating from 1 to 4 and a type (Rattler, Feeder, Shambler, or Spirit). The various Legacies can restrict the ratings you can take or the types, but I don't see any other restrictions after my first read-through.

Only on the book, by the look of things. Postage for the cards doubles the price of them shipping to the UK.

Thanks

DrivethruRPG just dispatched my book today (ordered on 24th). Happy with that turnaround. Had a glance through the PDF last night although I won't do any real work with it til the paper copy arrives, and I really liked what I read so far.

Gameplay

Another video

Another player starting Deth Wizards. First video gives you glimpses of the book, some stats etc.

We played our first games this weekend. Played the first three co-op missions in story mode. It was fun but only one mission felt challenging. There is an advanced mode which we agreed to try when we play again Wednesday to see if that helps. Overall a fun game and an excuse to paint up more undead models.

My book is on its way. Cannot wait to get it.

Well I succumbed. Have the book on the way and have been devouring the pdf.

So far I have an idea for a goth chick spirit caller called Lydia the Strange and Unusual.

It’s got Co-Op! Coool!
Honestly that makes me excited to give a go alone.

It does! Essentially it just doubles the amount of AI opponents per scenario. Triples them if you have three players etc. We had a lot of fun playing co-op and are going to play co-op and VS mode tomorrow.

GMG review

To those who have the rule book and have played it; how is the game?

I have played it co-op only. We have played 6 total games and had quite a fun couple of sessions with it. I dont know that it has a ton of legs as far as playing for an extended time but the time we did spend with it was enjoyable. Missions felt pretty easy but we never played any of them on "advanced mode" which is pretty much just hard mode.

Ep 5.

I'm enjoying it a lot. Haven't played against anyone else, just solo and co-op, but it's been really fun! Especially for the low entry price. I already have an undead army for Warhammer, so all I needed was the rulebook.

Thank you both for your input. How much help do you think the cards are for assisting gameplay?

I haven't found that I needed them. I just printed the pages from the PDF that had stats on them.

Player vs player game

Even though I haven't even gotten close to playing this the book has been a great purchase. My twin girls, 4yrs old, LOVE flicking through it looking at the art work. They are obsessed with the bone giant, and think the armoured bat is hilarious.
