I think he said it was simply a case of a massive feck up on the supply side- they didn't order enough, reorder would take a while and bizarrely they decided not to communicate this but pretended it didn't happen..
I don't know about that. I had a great time listening to Peachy's point of view on things behind the scenes in his shows. He's having ten times as much fun now as he has ever had for GW. The guy is a gentleman of the first degree, and his take on things is perfectly summed up in- Yeah, it's exactly what we thought was going on, but GW was too high off their own supply to just come out, make a simple apology for a genuine mistake, and drive on.
The biggest take away is the look behind the curtain on decisions..
a decision like that in all probability cost someone their job. That's why it was buried in that six foot hole that it was buried under. Between the asshat manager's training and attitudes, and the back door lack of business acumen and ineptitude, it's no wonder why we are seeing a price hike every couple of months, now.

Confirms what we thought - the expansions were originally meant to have figures and be the launch boxes for those figures, but for reasons still unknown they dropped support for it and so released those figures as part of the Soulblight stuff instead.
No explanation as to why there were stock issues in the first place and why support was originally dropped though.
So they made a video to tell us.... nothing?

No, it's a video where the subject comes up, and a former/recent studio staffer says what he thinks very likely happened. His opinion is worth somewhat more than a random internet person's (since this has happened before, though he wasn't present on this occasion and therefore doesn't know for certain).
The title is a bit misleading on this one (it's not a hidden secret revealed, and they talk about loads of other stuff), afraid that's not unusual for youtube vids. I enjoy these meandering vids whilst painting, and the peak behind the curtain Peachy provides. He is generally positive about his former employer, but occasionally notes stuff that he doesn't think was done/handled particularly well.

We didn't know before that the expansions were meant to have figures and be a pre-launch for the Soulblight range. I know a lot of us suspected it, but others argued vehemently against it, and this is the first time it's been confirmed by someone who would have known.
There's not much other solid info in the video (you can take what you want from the other host talking about production problems in China and Peachy nodding along but that's all a bit questionable). It's an interesting enough chat, but you won't learn anything more for certain than that one fact.
On the whole, I'm impressed with the figures for the game, but is it worth buying from the shop, or should I just wait for it to hit the second hand E bay market?
I do see a few things I would add to the game, and I can also see the figures in a Mordheim rules setting that would be a ton of fun.
A week or so ago, I FINALLY saw the Father/ Daughter vampire hunter team in the local shop. Don't know if they have rules set's for them, but at the 55.00 pricetag, for two guys, when the Zombies are at 60.00... o.O
Let's just say that there has got to be something in the water.
In the end, I've seen the game over on YouTube at Gorilla Games being played, so I see it really IS a game, but I'm not so much getting a Warhammer Quest vibe out of it.
For those of you who have it, is it worth buying full price, or is it something that can wait till the second hand market?

The basic gameplay is fine, but the missions themselves leave a lot to be desired. There's a lot of grinding the same quest over and over to reach a threshold to play the interesting boss fights.

Price: for a 2 pack, that's a bit cheaper than most single characters....
They are nice models. I painted them up last year for a D&D game.
Rules: yes they have rules. They're part of the Cities of Sigmar.
Without looking it up I couldn't tell you what exact book/pdf/WD etc they were in (it's obviously not the CoS tome). I just printed their sheet from Whapedia.

Pretty sure Grot 6 meant "for Cursed City" with the rules bit.

Maybe in one of the expansions.

They do not. Morvahl(Death Wizard) is the only official additional hero.

Yup. And the whole conspiracy theory 'they were meant for CC' was idiotic to begin with, as they only oh, have completely different sprues, bases, parts, and all the other stuff from CC minis, never mind the pesky detail of both of them basically duplicating the Witch Hunter from the base CC in looks and loadout, never mind each other. No tabletop game in GW history had three virtually identical copy-paste protagonists (hell, even BA termies from Space Hulk show more look/gear variation) but suuure, they were ""surely"" for CC

He confirmed that he heard the same rumours and gossip as everybody else:

I mean that's another solid hint in that direction, but not an actual confirmation or evidence.

Go to 28 minutes in the video - Peachy isn't quoting rumours he literally says "I'll tell you exactly why that happened".

Yes but he was working right in their HQ in Nottingham. Whilst GW compartmentalises information a lot, he likely did pick up on why Cursed City had its huge mess. He might not have known in advance, but chances are he knows (or at least has a very good accurate based on actual information guess) on what happened.
Again, we're talking about the 2 CoS Witch Hunters, NOT the stuff actually in the expansions like Peachy is. There was a theory that they were made for CC, which the fact they aren't in either expansion puts to bed.

This and the fact that the base game is still for sale and in stock most places raises my hopes slightly for future White Dwarf mission(s) with included cards for heroes and/or enemy encounters. I'd love a slightly bigger roster of heroes.
Not a Cursed City player, but I did enjoy the Solitaire rules for Blackstone Fortress and feel this is a good thing. Having it as a quick download is quite handy.
I'd probably go for the Light of Eltharion, as its cool to have a ghost hunting the undead...
Oh ?? I missed those. On the Community page somewhere ?
Sadly not. White Dwarf(one of the 2019 issues) or the BSF 2019 Annual itself, which is worth getting if you have at least The Dreaded Ambull, or Escalation.

Thank you ! I'll have to see if I can find whichever issue or the Annual. Covid fractured our game group and I've been anxious to play this game.
