So shadespire is AoS version of imperial assault and seems to exist just to get a dig in at ffg for making wargames.

Also given how overpriced FFG's collectable stuff is I would guess GW's price is going to be eye watering.

Will wait for the 1st expansions before I make a decision based on price and content.

How heavy is that chip? You thinking about getting it removed?

FFG is a little bit excessive with dice and tokens... I just started destiny and the stuff i need... wow

Don't get me started on the mess of the cards. feth, they wanted you to buy even ships of other factions...

FFG does love it's fancy dice and tokens, that much is pretty much 100% there.

This.
You are showing just how good this new CEO is at his job.
Before the physical sales start, you need to sell the idea that people want it.

Pushing a few pre-coloured models around a couple of pieces of hex overlaid cardboard is "the best thing ever"? I know you love your AoS Bottle, but seriously, this would have been laughed off dakka if any other company tried it.

That's what I was thinking? What is so interesting with Shadespire. Seems really boring thus far.

Reasons why I think Shadespire will be awesome.

1. It's low model count - I can lavish my paint jobs and collect multiple factions.
2. The models look amazing - each one is like a character sculpt. Check out those bloodreavers!
3. Tight, tactical, competitive play. I love playing competitively!
4. Deck building mechanics. Lots of meta game to sink your teeth into.
5. Organised play. I love tournaments and would love to play this at events too.
6. 45min game time. I can play this on my lunch breaks.

That's why I am excited. The game looks fun and the models look incredible.

I agree with pretty much all of your points bar the 2nd one. I think the models look bad. Even the details look terrible imo (that might only be due to the coloured plastic though).

And since im a modeler first and a gamer second, that's why I,m disapointed with the game so far. Was expecting to see some cool new things, instead of the done to death sigmarines and khorne marauders.


Though, as you said, the rules of the game does seems to have some potential.

*Avoids looking at pile of shame*
So one Kharadron airship, a couple of infantry boxes and a hero or two wouldn't hurt would it?

I wonder if the wider AoS range will have Shadespire support? The Silver tower cast in particular would be cool to see in this kind of game.

I hope they do. That and WHQ.

Not sure what you have taken offence too?

It certainly looks like one of FFG's games from individual minis with specific cards right down to the "core set" on the cover, if that observation came as a surprise I suggest you unknot your panties and go check out FFG's website.

If you took offence about my comment that GW product is likely to be even more expensive than FFG then you defiantly have not paid attention for the last 2 decade's.

The last possibility is you feel me not immediately running out and buying a product even if over priced is offensive to you, well if that's the case you are exactly the type of customer GW is looking for, you probably have an iphone as well.

First off, love that you think you're important enough to be offensive. Great Ego.
Second, it doesn't really look like one of FFG's games, anymore than Planeswalker arena, or Heroscape, or half of the stuff on Kickstarter at any given moment. No *real* comparison other than the deck building aspect, which is hardly new nowadays. Note that gorechosen and Silver tower must also be Imperial assault rip-offs. Oh how GW has fallen.
Third. Did you assume I wore panties because you do? That's an ignorant (and sometimes hypcritical) position that doesn't work too well for other groups, so maybe you could start with, "Hi, I'd really like to make an inappropriate statement about the wearability of your undergarments - boxers or briefs?" I find that reads much better.
Fourth, there are games more expensive than others...and that's okay. Talked with your parents, and this seemed like a good time to tell you. It's okay. They have programs. We'll get through this. *sniffles*.
Finally,
ANDROID.
But while you're 0/5, why not by a lotto ticket?

I think this tangent isn't contributing anything worthwhile to the thread, so it stops here.


Thank you.

Think I might get the Stormcast easy to build Liberators set when this comes out. Then I can run them as a five man Liberator squad and a Knight questor errant in regular games. Its just a shame that there's no real reason apart from looks to keep the prime with a hammer and shield.

Sweet!

I'm really loving the concept!

Maybe battles on a cloud mat?!?

I'm especially looking forward to seeing how transports are going to work in AoS, weird as that sounds. It could be a sneak peak at the future of 40k.

And I don't care how expensive they are, I'm having one of everything Overlord.

If I'm correct, I think that those models were resint cast primed to use in Adepticon. The proper models will be GW coloured plastic, just like BloodBowl or Space Hulk. So I think the quality its secured. From a material standpoint. Everyone will have his tastes in the stormcast/bloodreaver aesthetic and like them more or less.

I'm too a modeler/narrative player first and a gamer second, but this box is maked with the competitive and gamers players in mind, so its obvius a product not ... to us. Not pointed? Argh. I think you understand me.

That's a really good point actually.

Garrr!! Avast ye snotling fondlers!

So, what is the price of that airship? Or has the prices not leaked?

White Dwarf preorders are up tomorrow morning, I expect leaks by next Wednesday.

Leaks should be out monday at the earliest, some lucky sods get the WD that early.

Yeah, think about it. Transport vehicles confirmed, and what appears to be a wide variety of ranged weapons too. Definitely a possible peak at the future of 40k.

Any news on price yet?

According to people that received WD today:

"There are no prices or release dates for the dwarves! Shadow war is £90 or $150 and preorder is 1st April."

"It has prices and such for shadow war, sector mechanicus and galvanic magnavent. The dwarves arent in planet warhammer but they are a cover feature with no prices or dates."

That seems odd to say the least.

The khorne book is also 1st April preorder. They are doing warscroll card packs for the them and the Duardin. The Duardin card pack is listed as 8th April preorder. It would be very weird to get them a week before the book and the minis.

Kharadron overlords will release at the end of April, WD only has release info until the middle of the following month.

Edit: although weird if the cards are released earlier...

I can't wait another month for my flying pirates.

Yes but it would be very odd for a cover featured army not to be released in the same month.

End of April would be awkward (in a first world problems sort of way) as I'll be off to Salute around that time frame, I don't want to have to budget more carefully than I'm forced to!
