So conflicted about buying this! I've got a pretty huge LotR haul that hit me for an unexpected ~$200, and I've also got both Darklight and Dark Souls coming in the future as far as dungeon crawlers go... and I'm currently playing through Silver Tower as well. Might be a bit much... on the other hand I do have Black plague so that would be a nice crossover. what do you guys reckon?

Far more minis than Silver Tower! I love GW sculpts but this offers way more.

Unless you've run out of shelf space you don't pass up on this. Even if you don't get to it for a while you still are saving big and getting your (enter your countries monatary form here) worth.

Sure, but every CMON KS is a huge savings, and they'll probably do BP season 2 and MD season 2 in a couple of years... eventually I'll have to skip one anyway
eh, who am I kidding... I'll probably buy it :(

Acceptance is the last stage.... It's healthy to work through it.

"Dungeon crawlers are boss!" *barely has time to play one game let alone several, and never campaigns*
"But maybe I can use those minis with Frostgrave/Song of Blades and Heroes" *doesn't play Frostgrave/Song of Blades and Heroes*
"Ooooh all those fantasy minis might be useful in Age of Sigmar" *uses completely different scale*
"Screw it I just want them in my closet to think about and fondle because I like spending money" *brain finally accepts reality*

What you have to think as well Mymearan is when this game arrives, and that you might well have a gap in your gaming and painting schedule at that time

At least that's how I am rationalising it to myself!

Loki - real shame you couldn't get your group on board with Zombicide, have had so much fun with it it's just a very light-hearted, enjoyable game that doesn't take too much effort to play.

Luckily I have no ambition to paint any of my board games, which is good because I have 700+ unpainted wargame minis

Well then there's no reason not to buy if you have less than a thousand minis to paint .

You should learn how to paint! That way, you'll only have 6000+ unpainted mini's!

New add-on looks solid for the price!!

I like the female Cyclops...

And the rest of the heroes are awesome designs.

The Heroes & Monster Set: Warrior Priests vs The Spearmaiden Cyclops is an Optional Buy box that brings you a plethora of new additions to the game. It introduces the Warrior Priest class, represented by Malleus, along with two other Heroes, as well as the humongous Spearmaiden Cyclops Roaming Monster!



In total, this set includes:
•3 Hero figures
•1 Large Spearmaiden Cyclops figure
•5 Cards
•1 Warrior Priest Class Sheet Pad

it's keenly priced ($27), but I wish it was a mob box rather than wandering monster and heroes

THere used to be a time when big monsters like this one were only available in metal and like 60$ or so. Now they're cast in much easier to use material for a quarter of the price..

I like the cyclops, the heroes less so. I think I'll still wait for retail as it will probably be the same or less and no shipping added.

Is the cyclops add on the only way to get the warrior priest character sheets?

My thoughts too Theophony.

I think im riding out the base pledge till the end. People are always willing to sell things at a lose or below value on ebay for some reason. I just got 2 of the artist boxes from Black Plague that retail for $20 off ebay for $15 w/ free shipping!

No Thiago said it will be available as a pdf along with the other classes.

Several of the Guest boxes for Black Plague were included "free" as stretch goals, so a lot of people have them that wouldn't have bought them if they were optional.

Not interested in that expansion at all... Good!

Why does the Cyclops have two eyes?

Regardless of the number of eyes I quite like that box set, fortunately it's not a KS exclusive so I can pick it up a later date maybe.

It's just the angle of the picture she has 1 eye

Ah-ha! That makes more sense, thanks Dave.

No problem.

Just in case it's missed Thiago confirmed the Warrior Priest expansion heroes get BP cards as part of the crossover.

I like that it's a female Cyclops. I don't have any in my collection and I can't recall the last time I ever saw one.

Jesus, how big is that thing?? Soon CMON will do Ghurk-sized boardgame pieces. As much as I love the BP troll with its huuuge hands and arms that just won't quit, sometimes less is more. Nothing you actually shuffle arouns on a cramped board should be bigger than that (and that's pushing it).

Guess you haven't seen 40K Knights or AOS heroes then . Bigger is the new black . Does anyone else think this was supposed to be one of those free add ons like how they broke up the cockatrice box into 4 stretch goals? Not that I really mind as its really pushed the $$$$ today and we might hit our stretch goal by tonight.

After having watched the game play video and seeing them cram 9 models onto a room tile and then try and squeeze a hero in to start killing them, I am also of the mind set that bigger is not better right now. Its a cool center piece for sure, but I wonder if at some point using tokens is going to become the norm when your trying to cram patrol after patrol into the same corridor..
