Some may be 9 models, but the price will be €40, so €4.44 per model. That doesn't make it any better.

I can pick up two Warhammer Underworlds Warbands for just under €40. That gives me more models and loads of cards to use with them.

Sure the WC models are nice, bit it is going to take some serious effort for WC to replace WU as my go to fantasy skirmish game.

Still need to see the sprue before making any judgement.

A bummer they didn't make special scenic base for these.

The difference is that it is entirely plausible that you won't use all of the models in the sets at the start of a campaign for WarCry.
Underworlds has no option for that. You use what it says you use and that's that.

But Underworld is a boardgame, isn't it?
I think you can't really compare the two of them...

I wonder if the Warbands will be Faction Everchosen?

Not at all happy to see the USA is moving toward an Australia/New Zealand style absurdly random exchange rate.

Does anyone have any idea how quickly this is going to sell out? How long was Kill Team available before they ran out of stock? I was really hoping to pick up Warcry during my local store's birthday event in August. Does anyone doubt there will be stock left after a month?

isn't the 40 euro the direct gw price? if yes then you should compare it to the gw price for underworlds where a warband cost €22.5, so its over €40 for 2 warbands. Besides that the amount of models realy depends on the warband. And last we don't know the sprues for warcry, we might be getting options

There’s at least some options, we’ve seen the same models armed with different weapons in different photos.

Well I'll be looking to buy any gribblies people don't want that grab the starter

OK, now I've seen the prices, I will not be doing that, because it would end up in the region of £300.

So I'll probably forget about buying into the game altogether and just get a box each of the Unmade and the Cypher Lords for conversion fodder.

feth you, GW.

That’s a bit weird to read. You didn’t expect that a WHOLE collection of a single wargame will not be cheap? You want a lot, it will cost a lot
30 pounds for a warband is a bit much, I have to agree, though. Especially after Necromunda and Underworlds prices. There isn’t any customization in the warcry minis is there?

Try north of the border eh? We have to pay double what ever GW pound price is. Also when our buck was more than the US buck we still were paying over 30% more. You would have thought Canadian pricing would be less than US once that happened.

I dunno, the warband prices seem fine to me. Shadespire generally has less models in a team, and are pushfit with no options. Necromunda has more options and a couple more models, but is just one sprue repeated, where as each model in these is unique. And they come with the cards. I was hoping for £25, but expecting £30, especially after the price rise we’ve just had.

Unboxing (apologies to mobile users if these are too big)

Warcry will introduce 28mm bases for the first time.

It remains such a strange design choice. Would anybody struggle to differentiate a member of the Untamed Beasts with one of the Cypher Lords if it hadn't been for those things?

Looks like models are fixed like in Underworlds but able to build a force using points?

Oh yeah. GW models really needed another base size.
That's... Fantastic.

I suspect future chaos releases (and reboxing) will involve 28mm bases. Orcs too.

Bah. Also more meaningless symbols, rather than words. Warmahordes wore me out on this particular trend, not happy to see more of it.

Still, good models, might be an interesting game regardless of the minor obstacles.

Looks that way. I think they mentioned 1000pts in the video they put up yesterday.

I am used to icon-driven stat cards but this looks very poorly executed. In the first place, the abilities look to be few and short enough to be printed in whole on the cards anyway. Secondly, the icons are entirely abstract and in no way representative of the ability, making them godawfully hard to remember. I personally would fire the graphics designer over this.

So, from those cards it seems that four of the Iron Golems have a single fixed configuration and four have an alternate build (including one having a choice between Signifer and Prefector character types).

Symbols are pretty odd - Fist for toughness for instance....

Hmm - need to see more before I decide.

Interesting figure shown seems to have lots of attacks (4 or 8 depending how it works) and lots of wounds (15)

Uh, the 4 on the legend doesn't correspond to the 4 printed as a value on the actual card.

Isn't the shield for Toughness and Fist for strength. Icons could be better alright it took me a minute to figure out each line was the statline for the weapon on the left.

Maxime mentions fighter classes of light, standard and heavy. The Iron Legionaries are standard and go on 28mm bases 32mm is for heavy, so I assume 25mm is for light (he mentions normal humans being on 25mm). It's at around the 24 minute mark in today's Stormcast.
