This is just annoying.

They're trying to (war)hammer the point home that we're all too old for their games, I guess.

Ok. Considering the AoS debacle has finally gotten my group to open their minds regarding the wealth of massively better made games from smaller companies... I guess this really was what the hobby needed.

The unfortunate part is that 40k has fallen off around here. AoS was received so badly that it had a carry-over effect and has actively hurt 40k enthusiasm and turn-out.

40K has been on a slide for several years. You may simply have hit the tipping point in your locale.

So it looks like they doubled down on the stupid crap. Nice to know my armies would be at a distinct disadvantage because I don't like green.

Information is there in advance - looks like harmless fun to me - but then I have set up club games where King Kong fights Orks and a large multiplayer Dark Eldar arena game - they were not especially balanced but we all had fun - seems a larger version of this so would be happy to join in - IF everyone else there is looking for the same thing.

Its def not going to be for everyone but some will like it - some don't like hardcore tournament formats - which is at the other end of the scale......

A 20 man box for about 60 dollars isn't too bad of deal, especially if there's multiple weapon options.

There's extra weapons, every model in that box will end up with extra arms growing off them knowing me...

What's more, as I mentioned on the page before, those rules are not the actual rules for playing in the various realms that are given in the AoS book.


Those are the rules that Warhammer World has added for if your faction "controls that realm", per what has been posted.

might be an idea to set up a roadside flower stall near WW that weekend then.
,.. perhaps guards on the graveyards too in case someone gets a bit carried away.

Ah well, I guess that just confirms that is aimed at children and young teens.
It certainly will not attract the same crowd that WFB did, but there is a good chance it will be popular in its own right.

Blood reaver box is a 20 man kit for £35

That would weigh in at $58 USD.

$58 USD for 20 models on 32mm bases, as big as Marines.

Hrmh.

No no that cant be right...

Possibly fake:

That doesn't really look like GW's style of art to me, but then it is possible that they don't feel constrained to one art style?

Yeah, hard to tell since we haven't seen a new AOS book yet.

It definitely is in a different (I think pretty interesting) style. If I was a betting man, I'd say it's fake though, but not because of te style of the art/painting, but rather the style of the overall graphic/book design. Doesn't have the polished look that GW has been honing with all its excessively priced, endlessly limited editions.

didn't see posted in last few pages, so here's next releases

SKAVEN PESTILENS PLAGUE MONKS Plastic Box 35
SKAVEN PESTILENS PLAGUE FURNACE Plastic Box 62
SKAVEN PESTILENS PLAGUECLAW Plastic Box 33

Man... 20 more bloodreavers. I already feel like im painting to many as is. I should have held out for the weapons option before I assembled the ones from the starter... stupid me.

From the link:

@tinracersteve got a surprising amount of interest in this folder for my scrolls ... Art is by conceptmonster.net @alexruizart

Looks like its just a binder with some custom art for the player's Warscrolls.

Are both the Occulum and Dais available on general release? I was a bit miffed to find that the Baleful Realmgates (awful name) were direct only.

They are releasing a lot of stuff to retail stores for the first week, then it goes to the website.

One of these is going that way, i forget which.

Balefire may be back, on the website, they realize they screwed that one up. "Someone didn't think it would sell". My contempt for whoever at GW does their forecasting is always amazingly high. "We base our forecasts on this thing sort of like the thing we are selling, that sold 5 years ago, but was different and didn't tie into anything. "

While 20 blood reavers for £35 may be crazy. The dryad repack went up in model count and the annual report said they would experiment with box sizes and prices. This could be first of many. Plus having 40 already from the starter sets and only having built 20. If it comes with enough weapons I could see myself having 3 units of reavers all armed differently

I'm guessing these are just repacks with round bases and not new sculpts?

Sure we did--the AoS book.

None of the art in there matched that style. That looks like Blanche art.

It would have fit in with the End Times stuff, but it looks off here. Not only that--it looks like it isn't an actual "book". Look over to the left side, it appears to be in a document binder.

Yes

also, Bloodreavers update: bloodreavers set is 20 dudes with the same options ie chieftain horn banner, but also 2-handed meatripper axes

Realmgate Wars Book 1 - The Quest for Ghal Maraz: 240 pages, includes more warscrolls, battleplans, scenarios and special rules for fighting in the realms of life, metal and fire. continues the ongoing campaign started in the aos hardcover book

Dragonfate Dais terrain kit, is for the moment, limited release

Seems more likely that GW would sell Bloodreavers 10 to a box. That way they can do a massively overpriced web bundle for 30 lol.

Most likely it will 5 in the box for the £35 or some other insane amnount, considering GW's pricing for this "game" so far.

Bloodreavers aren't "elite" units like the Stormcast though.

Bloodreavers have a save of "-"(meaning no saves at all) and you get 20 of them in the starter, which it only gives you one command set for as well.

The price of the box was posted last page or so for 58.

Funny, I just had a look at the news and there's no mention of the Uk governmant's shock decision to replace the pound with US dollars anywhere.

So if the Dias is indeed actually limited release, what is the GW definition of limited release? Thanks in advance.

Give it a week.

Why cant people accept its 20 to a box, did anyone read what the ceo said about them doing new things in order to try new pricing ideas. Its still 35 quid but for 20 multipart models its not bad

most likely, it would be one of the least idiotic decisions the governmant will have done this year

Not big enough to justify 35 quid for 5 unless they do a 3in1 kit. Which is very doubtful.
