Mistweaver Saih
An enigma shrouded in mystery under the guise of an illusion, such is the Mistweaver Saih, nobody knowing anything about her.
Some say she may come from Ulgu, whose shadows are haunted, without having any evidence
Who are his allies ? Who are her enemies ? To who has she pledge allegiance / who is her master ?
Why did she come to the Silver Tower ?
The only certainty for those who fight by her sides is that she is a top-notch / tiptop enchantress, whose magical lightnings volatilize / destroy whoever provokes her ire.
She deceives and blinds her enemies thanks to illusions, exacerbating their hidden fears, spreading discord and paranoia, pushing her opponents to fight each others, or even to attack themselves, as she floats serenely on a mystical mist cloud.

The warscrolls for the models: http://www.belloflostsouls.net/2016/05/aos-silver-tower-hero-rules-spotted.html

Just got off the phone with GW. They are pushing this hard and calling it Warhammer Quest.

Supposedly....(sales rep info here, grain of salt) WQ will be a new line alongside 40k and AOS. More hero boxes, rules for using models from AOS, etc.

Of course, i'm being told this while they try to sell me a ton of copies

Woah 0_o

Oh, sorry, and details: 6 heroes (not all of which are on the side of the angels), and 45 minions of Tzeench. 51 models total, 150.00 in the US

I love the idea of WQ being a new line. That's brilliant.

I love the idea that these models will work with AoS and also that AoS will have models that will be compatible with WHQ.

Sooo if they don't do AOS warscrolls for all these in WD they would be missing a trick..........and that seems less likely now than it has been in some time!

They're already making their way around. Hard to pull from I pad but just look at social media, AoS Facebook group, maybe one of the rumor sites have them up already. Looking forward to this release!

With rules to use these models for AoS in the white dwarf, I accidentally took a peek at what a subscription would cost in case they release rules to use AoS models in Warhammer quest. $190 usd for a 12 month subscription...

Is it possible that the subscription is a savings at that price point? Staggering ask for a magazine subscription.

This would be fantastic news! Quest is far more likely to get me to buy into AOS than anything else they put out.

Figured you were pulling my leg.....you are not kidding...

Remember that it's no longer a "monthly" magazine. You're looking at 3-4 issues per month, at $4+tax in USD.


That's 6 months worth of issues. It gets kinda crazy.

I could buy a Star Citizen ship for that much! I could buy a ton of models ect.

Oh, that's very very interesting. And, if true, quite a smart move.

AoS Warscrolls:


They'll be a pop-out in an upcoming WD. Chaos week after.

Yikes!

I'll just pick up this one issue with warscrolls to have a printed copy...

Wrote this previoulsy but seemed to have gone under the radar. Supposedly, in the WD, it is written that a new WQ app is coming, and this app will enable you to BUY the WQ rules of pretty much every AOS plastic heroes.

So, are the WHQ minis going to get stat cards with the same kind of bars and info and stuff as the warscrolls, so like everything is compatible with each other? Would be cool if so

I love the look of everything except the spider goblin things, but $150 USD is a big ask. I would need multiple copies to get enough Tzaangors and Acolytes to make decent warbands.

I'm hoping that bits sellers will pick this up so I can buy a ton of what I need, but I suspect that everybody else will be looking to buy more Tzaangors and other badies too. A cursory look at eBay and it didn't look like any bits- sellers had split up Deathwatch Overkill, so I'm kind of doubtful they will split up this. I don't blame then, there will likely be zero demand for multiple copies of the heroes, so it would be hard for them to make their money back.

Does anybody think there will be trade value in any of the tiles or cards etc. if I just want the models? I don't know enough about the game ( and likely nobody does at this point) to figure out if extra tiles would be worth getting.

I've got my fingers crossed there will be someway to get what I want without dropping $300 for two copies (which I'm not willing to do). This looks like a $100 game to me. The familiars and brimstone horrors hardly count in my mental model count, they are nice little extras, but nothing more.

But those Tzaangors! I want them so badly!

Depends if they make a separate box like for the Deathwatch. Won't be cheap either way.

If they are clever, they will use a similar system to AoS for combat. It would make conversion quite easy from one system to another.

That's what I thought; they intend to use the AoS Heroes for WQ as well. I'm pretty sure that means all infantry based heroes (going into a dungeon mounted on something as big as a horse isn't a good idea most of the time).

It has serious potential. Price is quite high for a boardgame, indeed...but that's not how it will be sold, I believe. I'm thinking more about some kind of...battle RPG using stunning and high quality miniatures.

That it would be a separate line next to 40k and AoS isn't so surprising. After all...that's pretty much how GW started it all. It's getting new with old stuff, again, sure...but nostalgia sell a lot, nowadays.

Well I'm liking what I'm seeing with this release. Not sure I can swing the price though....Will have to see for me but I do see potential in this.

Well, this has me paying attention. If they properly support this, it could get me back into GW models again.

Still hmming and hawwing over the very "out there" look of the models, but I've actually decided that I quite like them on balance. Weird and wonderful like something from a 2nd edition planescape book, and that's a compliment from me.

I was getting all hot and sweaty for CMON's dungeoneering adventure until I saw the models. Now this has come trundling along and thrown a spanner in the works!

Everything looks right up my street bar the spider goblins.. no idea what they were thinking with those ugly little things but I've got plenty of spare Night Gobbos for stand ins!

I'm quite impressed, this looks like it will be a very fun release. I particularly like the heroes and tzeench beastmen/daemons.

Everything else looks like a bonus. Now to find a headswap for the Sigmarine...

That has a lot of potential, especially if it includes hero progress trackers and a monster generator for your quests based on your collection and hero level. I'm really interested to see how this pans out and how close to AoS the core game rules and stats are. It would make sense for them to be closely tied for easier crossover and expansion

I know what you mean. Sure, CMon will be great value for money, but so far the monsters don't do anything for me. WQ was always a favourite, so this has peaked my interest. Roll on Release!

This looks great, and for once I'm actually interested in trying to play a boxed game by GW (at least in recent years).

I'm so excited Tzeentch is finally getting some love. Ironically my buddy and I are about to start up some warbands for the old 200? Path of Glory ruleset, and this boxed set covers just about everything in mine. WD just needs to put out some rules for Chaos Chosen and I can use the whole warband in the game. And now I don't have to use standard beastmen or awful marauder models!

On a more related note the baddies (other than the goblins...which are merely okay) look great, and the heroes aren't too shabby themselves.

That looks like some great stuff.

Guillotine games has delivered better rules sets than recent GW boxed games, but this is Warhammer Quest.

Do we know anything about what the rules will look like? Will it be completely different from old WHQ? Are they going co-op with it?

I'm loving the baddies in this box, especially the Tzangors and the Horrors (yay Blue Horrors!) I'm not really a fan of most of the heroes though, as I'm still firmly railing against the AoS universe...and wont ever let go of the old Warhammer World. I'm curious as to how the rules work out...and will want to merge this with all of my original Warhammer Quest collection. If the game mechanics are really good, I may consider using everything with the new rules...if they are lacking, I can always use all the stuff with the old rules (and campaign stuff that I really enjoy). Or, perhaps take bits from both.

Regardless, this release makes me extremely happy. Now we just need a box of multi-part Tzangors, and some more of those great new Horrors! And I am crossing my fingers for lots of expansions!
