I'm actually pretty confident in the new Warroom under the assumption it's built using the lessons Tinker learned during the first one. When that first Warroom came out it was pretty bad. Quite unstable, crashed a lot, lots of card errors, ect. Widely panned and mocked by most of even the hardcore fans. Still mocked in general because of that legacy. By the end it was perfectly fine though and makes for a great card resource and, baring a few exceptions, list builder. I'm expecting Warroom 2 to be right about the level where 1 left off.
iBodger was a great list builder. It however did not include every card and rule in the game or damage tracking, so I'm going with Warroom quite exceeded the free army builders.
Yea, the best thing about Warroom for me is being able to proxy/counts-as the hell out of lists. Being able to try all sorts of different armies and builds without having to invest in anything extra (I have far too many war gaming models) was really useful. I used Forward Kommander for most of my list building needs before, but Warroom quite nicely took over that space.
Being able to just browse through other armies was great fun too.
I am very excited to see that Wolfrider solo! The wolf girls really need some sort of boost to make them interesting to take, and that might just be it!
Hah, that's a hilarious model . The only hard thing with trolls is they have such outlandish themed models / units, that making a coherently themed army can be a bit tough. But I really like that concept and execution . I'm not together on my dates, are these from Lock n Load?

Yeah, I'm wondering about this, too...
I was going to preorder the items from MM or the Warstore, but MM's huge disclaimers on each page that they might not get enough product in time scared me off, not to mention that you couldn't even preorder the deck I wanted! Warstore had preorders up, but I'm not sure if I'd have them by that Friday, and have a game worked out for the Saturday after release (which I think is a Wednesday).
Right now, I was planning to just go to the FLGS that carries the whole PP line and try to buy it the day of... anyone else have plans for ordering from a reliable source that would be able to ship on the day of release?

At this point I have no idea. They sound to have far outpaced their expected sales and there is some heavy allocation for stores. I've heard they've had to go thru and make sure stores weren't trying to "cheat" their allocation by ordering from multiple distributors as well. No idea if bigger web stores like Warstore or MM are getting bigger allocations or if they'll be stuck with the same amount as any given FLGS. I'd be worried about day of purchases if you don't already have a preorder in place.
You can always buy Warroom tomorrow (Sunday 12) and have all the rules and cards. Then you have a whole week to read and scheme before showing up to be humiliated.

Greylord Man o' War warcaster, says someone who posted the same pic on my local FLGS's Facebook page. (seen at L&L, obviously). Whether that's actually what it is, no telling. But it'd be pretty damn cool if it were.
I Think the artwork is stuff someone data mined out of the new Warroom, as I heard that included all the artwork and unit names and people had leaked unit names matching that artwork previously.

Just a solo from what I've heard. People are guessing it's the new source of Power Booster they talked about previously.

Those War Room prices are absurd. No army builder is worth 60+ dollars, and pretty much everyone else outside of GW provides all stats for free: Because they're part of the rules! Most provide the whole ruleset (of which the Stats are a core part) for free.

Cards are provided with models sold, and you don't need to buy all the factions if you don't own all the factions. My total cost of moving to MK3 will be less than $20 (mercs and Menoth decks in warroom) which is pretty much a bargain considering the years of work that have gone into the new edition. Rule book is provided free as well.
Automatically Appended Next Post: Also, this is hilarious for anyone who listened to the last Prime Cast podcast.
