When they re-made Talisman in 1994 they added monopose Warhammer Fantasy miniatures to the game that was clearly not set in the Old World. Some of the later released Talisman expansions had plastic models never released in other form afterwards. Even a huge plastic Dragon based on the metal Dragon designs. At the time plastic WFB character models were a big thing. GW releasing models like this - even in somehow strange ways - is nothing new actually. Same with the other GW boardgames of the early 90s like Battle Master, HQ etc sold by MB but had Citadel miniatures

We need more pics of the actual game :(

The inclusion of old Chaos models in there has totally turned me off to it, because it's most likely a cost cutting measure on GW's part.

If, however, the rules are in some way modular in their regard - if that's the right word - and they allow for a different experience by supplanting the included rubbish with our own collections, then that would be an interesting game.

Assassins vs Necrons, Eldar, Mehreens, Daemons etc

EDIT: Chaos Star = doubt it. Resume gloom.

That pic confirms that the assassins are on 32mm bases, because they're on the same size bases as the marines, but the cultists are on smaller bases

Lots of pics http://waaaghgaming.de/weitere-bilder-des-neuen-assassinen-spiels/

I cannot link them atm...

Awww, no shots of the Culexus. At least the Eversor looks nice.

I do like the boardgame concept, but i think i will rather play this type of scenario in a 40k setting with 40k rules.
Because i agree that you get a boargame too, not just models.

But i personally only buy a boardgame if i like the models and if it adds to all the other (war)games i have.

In the case of Space Hulk for instance that was the case, because ship-combat plays differently and is another type of game and i liked the models (allthough i had more than enough genestealers).

In this case i do like the concept, but it does not add enough as a whole.

If the chaos models had been a little more dynamic, I would have gone for it. But as it stands, I think I'm going to have to pass. I just have a nagging doubt, and with Space Hulk it was an immediate 'shut up and take my money' moment.

Will be picking up that Eversor to paint though

From B&C

Is that thick grey/white line above the no. 13/CSM indicative of thick card tiles...I hope so!

Yeah looks pretty heavy duty!

reminds me Zone Mortalis with cardboard tiles.

I hope to god those tiles are reversible and have a more generic underside.

@MoD: I doubt it. I think we can expect Space Hulk's 1-sided style.

more pics, price...

What does €100 usually translate to with GW weird exchange rates? I really like the Culexus model though, I think he's my favourite.

Bloody hell.

Actually that's not far off the actual exchange rate but that's more expensive than I was expecting for what, 23 models and some tiles/counters?

Translation of the rule snippets shown in White Dwarf on this page:



- A Two-sided stat card for each Assassin
- Image 4: The Teleportarium to Lord Drask (building/ship?), 5: a console, 6: The Chaos star shows (the amount of? Strange german text) Cultists in a room
- The Familiar miniature is used as turn counter, the game ends after 15 turns, the mission is to kill Drask
- 44 markers like 'On alert', blind grenades and Exitus ammo

Haemonculus = familiar.

23 models, tiles/counters, cards, and rules for the game.

Because it looks like it does NOT use the standard 40k rules.

Just to make sure people are clear, the "Execution Force" game will cost:
100Euro
75GBP
124USD
200NZD
175AUD

The text next to the content page says, these 40k Assassin rules are also available a Black Library dataslate, with more fluff. EDIT: No information if that is a new dataslate. The cover changed

In the gallery linked above were the Assassin rules for 40k, also a formation. See spoiler

Hmm the game is "While stocks last"

Yes, also english-only, but that's okay. If it turns out these are the only rooms though... B-a-d

Looks like I'll grab the WD just to have a hard copy of the Assassin rules, then see if the Eversor turns up at a non-obscerne (is under £10) on Ebay. If the game is Ltd ed, though, that might be unlikely.

Well yeah and the rules but it's a board game so I didn't really count them as part of the price, because I'm not expecting some massive complex rules system for it. Maybe that's unfair of me but I still don't see how this is worth £75...

The tiles are marked. That's... very unusual. Reminds me of the D&D board games that came out a few years back.

$124 bucks for a board game? They have completely lost the plot.
