"Don't miss out!"

Why would I miss out if it's not limited?

If this is so worrying, then take screenahots of the app and save them onto a USB or email them to yourself. There are ways around all of your problems you mention. An app seems like a potentially useful but probably unnecessary tool to enjoy the game. If the history of warhammer quest is anything to do go by the community will probably invent rules to improve the game in any case.

I am excited to try out the game and I will probably download the app if it is priced reasonably. I am really interested in the competitive cooperation the new game seems to be going for.

Yeah, there are definitely ways around it should it become an issue. I'm really looking forward to trying out the game.

even if you have these screenshots it depends on the device and the resolution doesn't it ?

You dont see a problem with dlc for a board game fine, but its a stupid, stupid thing in my opinion. if they wanted add on's sell them. its not like fallout 4. dlc. this is like Star wars galaxies that you bought expansions for and is now worthless.

having fan made content is good and fun but, but, it still doesnt' invalidate the fact that the digital content is under GW's if we feel like it banner. they camn pull it any time they want, its not like a pdf its paying for smoke.

that's cool that it looks like aos pink horrors are going to start to split again.

It's not a limited product however the first people to buy it get the shiny foil cards and I have a feeling the 4 extra character cards might only avvailable in the first print run (don't quote me on that though), a bit like the limited edition of Dark Vengeance that came out.

Apparently there's also a limited "deluxe" version where the contents are made of different material.

Well, then.

I have a bunch of old metal Horrors that I haven't started painting. I may have to make them blue, now.

Also, there's finally a new model for Arcanites!

Facebook feed is faster than dakka I was just about to post it as well.

Agreed, thanks Red and the posters of that review. Nearly as good as having the box in hand. Am very excited by this now...all we need are some play throughs to appear.

Thanks for that link. The Adventure cards look interesting. Slightly more detail than the old Dungeon cards. I'm intrigued to see what those actually say and what the icons mean on some of them

I've dropped the link in the OP. Looks like it's got everything you'd ever want to know about the game contents including sprue shots!

Not quite *everything*. I still want to know about character advancement and campaign play

A very rough translation of one of those visible Adventure cards (El Bibliotecario)

Title: The Librarian

Bold text: Read passage 76 - This looks to be related to the Adventure book as one WD snippet did mention there being adventure bits included in there.

Additional text: The Librarian is a Pink horror with vigor 8 instead of 4. Other Pink Horrors do not need to make a separate roll on the behavior table. Add 1 Damage value at each of its attacks.

So it looks like this card sets up a boss encounter, by modifying the base Horror and giving it a leadership role by modifying the behavior of other horrors.

It also looks like you may need to set up some additional tokens/terrain on the board; or it is just marking off which items are impassable in this setup with the red borders?

Well, I can tell you what some of them say:

Adventure card - The Librarian
Read paragraph 76.
The librarian is a pink horror with Vigour 8 instead of 4. He acts at the same time as other Pink Horrors, don't roll separately on the action table. Add 1 to the damage of each of his weapons/attacks (the word is covered). (at the bottom it seems to say that he doesn't split into Blue Horrors)

Event card - Eye of Destiny
Precognition 2+
Put a Befuddlement (???) marker on this card until the end of the turn. While it is there, you may re-roll saving throws of 1. If your hero is Celestial, other heroes in the same room can do the same.




Automatically Appended Next Post:
Knight-Questor

Guard position (3+). Put the hero dice here (on the card) until the end of turn. While it's there, your save is 3+ instead of 4+.

Challenge (2+). Choose an opponent and move him 3 squares [...] you waste a hero dice if you roll 4+ [...] enemy in its place.

Traits: The Knight-Questor is Celestial and Imp...

Renown: For each saving throw of 6, gain 1 Renown.

Khorne Slaughterpriest
Auric Runemaster
Tzeentch Sorceror Lord
Knight Venator

Bit of a weird mix but I gues it means you can run either fully good or fully bad parties?

Oh God... that box is going to be $100+ discounted, isn't it? :-p

On closer inspection of the characters. I'm not impressed even more so, the Ogre guy is cool.

I'm pretty sure it just says that he doesn't need to roll separately from other horrors for his actions, not that he influences other horrors.

Quite probably, my spanish is limited to Google's translation services
Either way, one roll for all pink horrors on the board makes sense

I'm wondering if some adventures will suggest removing some cards so you don't have (for example) a librarian on every floor of the tower. While it is very flavoursome (and I like that), it does limit usage within other campaigns somewhat (not that the floor tiles didn't already do that).

So, with the sprue shots...I feel comfortable saying we'll see the heroes separately.

Maybe not all at once or immediately, but parceled out.

I'm guessing he was being a bit naughty and wasn't supposed to post it yet...

Hrm.. well in it for the models, since I like them all. Hope the game is fun as well.. Was expecting more game tiles, but thats definitely something that can be expanded on in future releases I would think.

Now, the big question here is whether I should buy this, or wait for the rumored Betrayal at Calth sequel that's supposed to drop Q4...

I'm more curious than anything, about the "expansion" box of four bundled heroes. I think hearing about it will be VERY telling. If, for instance, they come with non-hologram cards included, we'll find it likely that GW will be making print/physical versions of what otherwise might be exclusive to the App.

It'll also say a lot about the extent of their support if these come with printed skills, new treasures, etc... and also how much they cost. MSRP of those heroes would suggest a $120-130 box... but its going to take a deep discount, and probably included physical cards to make that look acceptable on a shelf, next to a $150 base-game, with ten-fold more content for the price.

Can we get confirmation Hobby Lobby/Michaels may be carrying items? My coupons are now burning a hole in my phone...

Does Hobby Lobby carry board games in your area? And isnt Hobby Lobby a Christian Organization? I cant see them stocking their shelves with Demons.

When I was a boy scout they banned MtG because the cards used "mana" (Boy Scouts did, not Hobby Lobby)

Im not a big fan of Holo-gram cards, my eyes dont like them..
I know GW will try and sell anything, but your right, $120 for 4 characters when the Box has 51... I dont see how you can justify that.. It will indeed need to come with alot of printed material.

But the bible is full of demons! And didn't Jesus once turn water into Mana potions?

I saw the people in my local GW working on the new sprues today. Look amazing :-)

The manager also said the up coming points system won't limit to a single grand alliance!?

Nice find! Shame about the skin on the 2 human heroes. Was hoping for steps closer to the Eavy Metal stuff. The tzeentch stuff came out nicely and this will be useful for colour reference :-)

Ditto. I've always had trouble painting gold, which one can imagine to be a big problem for a Tzeentch player.

Several people have asked about character development. I just received a preview copy of the game. Characters do develop within the confines of the adventures in this set. Because of the ephemeral nature of the tower you have a 50/50 chance of retaining magic items at the end of each adventure, and you can keep skills depending on how many rune fragments the party has collected (max 4 skills). GW will support this heavily with upcoming campaign books that add new monsters, and (and this is speculation) I believe they intend to release new adventures like they did for the old WHQ. I have no idea whether or not they will develop campaign rules to allow you to keep developed characters and run them in later adventures, but they seem to be listening to customers, so perhaps you should suggest that on their facebook page.
