**H.B.M.C.**

I remain forever impressed that simply two of this sprue makes the full ziggurat.

Warcry Warband rumours (from TGA but the source seems to be 4chan so take with buckets of salt

)

EDIT: AoS rumours posted at the same time confirmed by Whitefang to be fake so very likely these are as well.

Spoiler:

**deano2099**

This month's White Dwarf has rules for using Cursed City map tiles in War Cry games.

**SamusDrake**

About time! They had done this for Blackstone and Kill Team years ago, and they went together like peas and carrots.

Okay, my Greedy-O-Meter is off the scale now because between this and the upcoming Warcry Starter...thats a lot of undead tomfoolery to be enjoyed!

**Kanluwen**

WarCry starter was leaked a few months back. It's two Underworlds warbands(The Vampire quad-pack and Xandire's Truthseekers), plus some new graveyard scenery.

It actually was what leaked the contents of Nightmare Quest!

**lord_blackfang**

As a Garden of Morr enjoyer I am interested in that graveyard sprue.

-Idoneth Soulflay Anglers

Elite Akhelians with nets riding the Aethersea

-Fyreslayer Holdseekers

-Ogor Realmway Maneaters

Maneaters with AoS-specific trophies/clothing

-Gloomspite Gitz Knightly Bottle-Snatchaz

Armoured Stabbas/”Loonknights” with glass stuff led by small, armoured troggoth

-Sylvaneth Claws of Hamadreth

Spite Revenant Menagerie

-CoS Crusade Wayfinders

Freeguilder Human and Aelf scouts

-Ossiarch Ambertusk Necroarchs

Ossiarch “wildforms” led by beastmaster Mortisan

-Nighthaunt Huntsmen of Nagash

Warband based around Glaivewrath Stalkers concept

The only one of these that I recognise as having been lingering around is the maneater's one. Although if even half are true, that would be cool.

'Bottle-Snatchaz' is a rather specific term, and just showed up as a Regiment of Renown in today's AoS preview.

**GaroRobe**

Gloomspite lore does mention that bottles are very valuable because grots can’t seem to figure out how to make their own

How many Destructions warbands were mentioned? 2-3? I hope there is some Gloomspite one.

**Scrub**

The baboon-y ape looking things are superb!

2. So the second is likely to be Ogors. On a sidenote, i love these.

**BertBert**

This warband is incredibly well realized and those baboons are a nice thematic addition to the Kruleboyz. I might just pounce on this.

I think the leader looks really dumb, like you glued a whole trashheap on an ork without any care for a stylistic language or a natural flow of forms, and the egg-grot is also not great; the rest of the band is okay to good imho, but that leader just makes this a no for me.

What I dislike most is his left hand weapon, that needs to go and be replaced by a whip or net or something. Other than that I like the overall silhouette, but I've always been a sucker for unreasonably large shoulder attachments

**Sabotage!**

I really enjoy the warband. The leader is a bit overburdened (wonder if you can leave the backpack off), but other than that it's great. The baboon/creature from Creepshow things are awesome, and I really like the regular Kruleboyz in the band.

I also appreciate that the Grot is like a little armored turtle. It looks like his roll is to grab the egg and if he gets cornered turtle up over it until reinforcements arrive.

I'm curious if this warband will be part of a box set this fall or a standalone band.

**Chopstick**

Other than the baboons the other look absolutely boring, 4 fighters with a stick? And I thought the Kruleboyz with man catcher from WU looks boring.

Pure Maneaters one would be cool, with all the weirdo stuff they could bring from equally weirdo cultures they met.

**straken619**

I really hated the baboons in the FEC warbard and I am looking for some hyenas to replace them.
But these apes are amazing! And the fit the warband aesthetic really well.
The only problem is the leader. It would be a nightmare to paint all that stuff he has on.

**lord_blackfang**

Hoping for an Elf warband with baboons next

Divided by war, unified by monke.

**SamusDrake**

Was hoping to see the starter set but the Baboons look great.

Most of the big stuff is sticking out of the basket on his back. It would be pretty easy to slice all that off and just model a couple of eggs.

I am counting on Gloomspite and their Groboons.

**Geifer**

I have precious little use for Not!Orcs, but I want those monkeys.

Light/High elves should get a capuchin wearing the finest silks and a really big hat. Also should be the leader of the elf warband, because he looks the most pompous.

WarCry Starter Set confirmed.

These mighty warriors are brawling over a crypt situated in Noctis, deep in Shysih, that is said to be the resting place of a legendary vampire. Sigmar himself has tasked Xandire with recovering the relics interred here lest they fall into the hands of Nagash, while the Crimson Court has orders to exterminate these trespassers. Crypt of Blood represents this battlefield with a double-sided 30” x 22” cardboard gaming board and six new pieces of terrain that make up the gloomy crypt of Noctis, including an ornate sarcophagus and a statue of the Neferata, Mortarch of Blood.

A 72-page Crypt of Blood book provides you with the complete core rules for Warcry, alongside lore for both warbands, seven battleplans designed just for this box, and information on how to continue your quest into the savage world of Warcry. Fighter and ability cards for both warbands are also included, alongside 18 dice and a Warcry token board with a range ruler and 63 tokens to help you keep track of your wounds and activations.
