It sounds like you can gain skills and items in the course of the campaign, but there really is no "leveling up" aside from that.

Based on the card, I'm guessing at the beginning of your turn your roll four dice and put them in those boxes with their scores showing. Then you can spend them to perform actions, but the score on the die you spend has to match the score of the action. For example, you'd need to spend a die that rolled a 6 to perform Bedazzle.

yup.

looks like you leveling consists of getting new gear and skils.

Core game must come with gear/skills for like 5 lvls? 10?

so you could "lvl" you character up to lvl 10 with the core box.

lvl 11-20 gear/skills, would be an add on.

Like most dungeon crawlers do.

**usernamesareannoying**

preorder is 5/14 or release date?
im assuming preorder so release is what, like the 21st?

That seems extremely unlikely. There are only 9 missions in the game. I doubt you level up more than once per mission. Besides, what would be the point of having 10 skills? How many could you even really make use of?

I like this idea. It appeals to the "dice placement" lover in me (I'm primarily a boardgamer, having been slowly drawn into GW by things like Space Hulk - 1st edition, mind you - Deathwatch, and BaC)...
Would be pretty neat to have a deck of small cards that are new Skills, each with a description of the ability, its stats, and a dice slot. Would make it easy to add new skills and to understand how they work.

well, you start at level 1 + 9 missions, one level per mission = 10

and when i said skills, i chose my words poorly, i was thinking like new skils and upgrading skiill. Like you get a fireball, then fireball lvl 2?

anyway, its just guessing

Look, I know it's a real word, but can we also just take a moment to agree on the silliness in choosing "Bedazzle" as the action name?

Spoiler:

"On a 6+, transform your enemies into extremely blingy, tacky fashion accessories. Gain +1 Renown, -1 Street Cred."

/aside over

Eating up every detail of this. My wallet hurts already.

**Albino Squirrel**

Bedazzling seems like a very elfy (or aelfy) thing to do if you ask me.

You do realize anyone under the age of... oh, thirty, probably has no idea what that is, nor saw the classic commercials? :-p

Surely that's one of the sacred machines of the Omnissiah used by the Astartes during the heresy to affix molecular bonding studs to their armour?

**NewTruthNeomaxim**

Confirmation of support for monsters not in the box, coupled with the idea of the App has me excited. If the volume of total available content is truly epic, I will be very pleased.

**Alpharius**

Do 'combined' sprues like that make it less likely that these miniatures will be sold separately at some point?

Less likely that they'll be sold separately as they are, yeah. They may do a proper full kit for some of them though (Tzeengors would be awesome).

**Stormonu**

^^ I always wondered how marines affixed their sevice studs to their forehead.

**Gimgamgoo**

Meh. I got all excited seeing a re-release of Warhammer Quest. Then saw the contents list started with those fantasy 'space marines' :-(

Has any company started making decent replacement heads for those things yet?

**ImAGeek**

There's only one Stormcast in the box.

that board is weird...not sure i like it

**Chopxsticks**

Thats pretty cool the WHQ book already has extra entries for units not included in the board game. Time to go trawl Ebay.

**Swara**

So, those tiles are set up in an inch grid right?
So I could use my hundreds of DND tiles or custom 3D super dungeon explore tiles?
That makes me excited.

Edit:
Looked a little closer and it might be closer to an inch and a half??

**oni**

Interesting. I wonder if the AoS RoBG tiles are being sold individually or in a set of six?

From the pictures it would seem that they'll be sold individually to be inserted with the original RoBG.

**Albino Squirrel**

I think the grids are more than an inch. At least 30mm. I'm assuming the little griffon is on a 25mm base. There is a picture that clearly shows that he doesn't take up nearly the entire square. The other characters (except sigmarite) are presumably on 32 mm bases, and they take up nearly the entire square.

**Uriels_Flame**

Really liking the RoB board. Maybe entice me to buy one. Any of the shops offer a discount on those or are they GW only?

**highlord tamburlaine**

It looks like we still may be drawing random tiles since it looks like there's a card with a map setup. That's a good sign.

Heck, there may still be a randomized dungeon crawl tucked away in there...

This. Id like to get a ROB board but maybe as a 4x4 so separate discounted tiles would be amazing

**Skullhammer**

The Aos facebook page has offical pics of 4 of the characters up on it posted just now. Sorry cant link on phone.

And some fairly cheeky commentary from GW

So, it looks like some pictures of the new Warhammer Quest: Silver Tower miniatures have escaped the labyrinth of madness and found their way onto the internet. (Clearly this was Tzeentch’s plan all along.)

But we don’t want you guys to have to squint at half-focused images taken by a gibbering camera familiar.
Here are some proper quality images of the new miniatures for you to gawp at.

We’ll have more news on the new game soon, so stay posted.

Start your quest in stores on the 21st May:
https://www.games-workshop.com/Store-Finder…

And meet the team behind the new game at Warhammer Fest:
http://warhammerworld.games-workshop.com/warhammer-fest-20…/

**Some_Call_Me_Tim?**

Sooo yeah, someone over on warfo already has a copy in hand, apparently. Details on the rules (if he's not making it all up) here http://www.warhammer-forum.com/index.php?showtopic=240221&page=13

And some of the models fresh off the sprue, from the same post.
