No art on the item cards. On a separate note, when you gain a skill it's draw two keep one, so this helps get skills that fit the character while still keeping the randomization.

No, from what people have said in unboxing videos only the barb has the alt hand.

PS: Wayland or any other UK discounter don't offer free shipping promos anymore, is that right? Because for expansions I could stomach a longer wait for lower prices compared to € prices.

Wayland have free shipping on ST as a special offer, I believe, but I'm not sure if that's only for the UK.

I'm sorry, ST? What does thar stand for?

I seem to remember that they still had free worldwide shipping promotions last year. But now that I want to spend again thanks to big box games, Start Collecting etc. (and my brother apparently really needing two Knights aka the Renegade set) there's nothing?

What's everyone's guess on what that expansion pack is going to cost? That's like 120 dollars worth of figs.
It might be fair at that price but kind of rubs me the wrong way as an expansion pack to a game.

We've already gotten the price.

It's $55.

A really cool mess that my group and I spent dozens of hours playing, but a mess nonetheless The hazards table was a horrible nightmare... Woops, a random tornado just plucked away your warrior's weapons! Struck by lightning and all armor destroyed! Or trip and fall and sprain your ankle, adding several more weeks to your journey! Don't roll a "2" on the tavern events chart! Or when your warrior randomly decides to "settle down" when you visit a town, that's the best. Crumple up your character sheet and start a new warrior, haha.

Yeah, see, none of that makes me think the game is "horribly broken and unplayable". It just makes me think that the game is unfair, and I like that about Old Quest. We've had just as much fun having horrible things happen to us in town (or on the way to town).

Rolling a 1 for the Winds of Magic was part of the deal. Hell, we played a longer campaign with a Druid and Ogre, so that's two power dice a turn, and monsters if either one of them come up as a 1, double if both come up as a 1. There are some corridors you get stuck in where you face half the event deck. That's just the way the game is. It's never a 'painful chore'.

**highlord tamburlaine**

I'm saddened to hear there's no art to speak of on the cards.

That's one of the things I thought games like Myth and Brimstone really did right.

this went up on the UK store and is "sold out" but priced at £0 (https://www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/Web-Exclusive-Warhammer-Quest-Character-Card-Battlemage)

That was the pre-order bonus, automatically added to your cart when you pre-ordered the game directly from them. It confused the hell out of me as I kept seeing two items in my cart quantity, and thought the site was glitching out. :-p

**backlash13**

Ah! I hadn't check the store forever, as I ordered mine through a discounter

**Orlanth**

Warhammer Quest had appeal because it had generic fantasy tropes.

This is a hot mess of busy miniatures and wierdly named monsters. It doesn't appeal to me at all.

If you mean venator, slaughterpriest, runemaster and sorcerer, it's 55 bucks

**streetsamurai**

I don't like the fact that they call this bundle an expansion pack, cause it makes me scare that all expansions will only be that limited in scope. If they don't add real content continually, this game won't have a long life.

Im pretty sure they all wont be like this. They put the rules for these models in the core game, Im sure they didnt add them because then the core game would have been above $200.

And if they want to keep bundling clampack figures at 50% off with no additional content, I will still gladly accept them with open arms!

The evening that we were playing our still as yet fairly green party when a Minotaur turned up, enough for us to gak ourselves at the time, only for my buddy's character have the stars align and one shot it still ranks as one of my top ten gaming moments.

As he perfectly summarized at the time "smack! moo thud."

More than likely, there will not be any printed cards or bits published for these minis. Rules will likely be available for purchase in the Warhammer App....Maaaaaaybe printed in WD. Its actually kind of ingenious. They can eventually link every AoS model to this game by simply changing some numbers and text in a digital stat template...maybe switch out an already produced photo or painting of the model in question, and then charge us a DLC fee in their app.

now that is a discount

How did they manage to get that Tzeentch sorcerer on a round base? His toes are molded on the square base that comes on his sprue.

**SlaveToDorkness**

Tzeentch is the Changer of Bases.

**plastictrees**

Also...it's plastic. Are we really marveling at how someone could cut plastic?

I don't think they're marveling, more likely just questioning.

I'm liking the expansion pack, though I am bummed that the Slaughterpriest isn't the newest one with the hackblade, mace, and helmeted head.

The Tzeentch Sorcerer went No Longer Available a month or two ago, so they probably just rejigged the sprue.

**Thargrim**

How is the gameplay on this new set looking? I have never played anything warhammer before (I only collected some models). But for someone used to playing FFGs X wing, do you guys think this would be a good game for me to get into? I never got into 40k or WHF because the rules seemed very convoluted and learning it seemed like taking up a second job. I just want a game in this awesome setting that I can relax and play with a few beers over the course of 1-2 hours.

Frankly, this game seems ideal for that. the rules have been sensibly streamlined. It only takes a few minutes to learn the basics. It plays up to 4 people rather than just 2. The only downside is that assembling the minis will take a while. The modelling and painting aspect are a big part of the appeal to many here, but it can be off-putting to board gamers who want to get up and playing as quickly as possible.

**Bottle**

And just to add to the response above, AoS will only take a few minutes to learn the basics too (4 pages of core rules + 1 page for each unit you want to play with.)

So if you like this set, consider expanding to AoS too :-)

**ImAGeek**

The last picture isn't new, it's the Wild Riders from the Wood Elves army book before AoS.

Sorry VanHammer, someone posted these a good few pages back. Thanks though.

I'm going back and forth on this one. I like the models, especially that beastmen are getting different "flavors" as it were instead of goats. I also like the "self-contained game" thing GW is doing of late.

Where it falls flatter in comparison to 40k's offerings is that there's no other place to use the models given that I have no interest in AoS as a whole and the models look ill-suited to a base conversion to squares. Doesn't mean the game can't be fun on its own, but I think it does move it from "buy it when it comes out" to "see where there's a decent price in a few weeks and buy it then."

I intend to purchase four copies. I'll use the models in WQ:ST (obviously) but also blu-tac them to regiment bases for use in Kings of War. If I get around to playing AoS (pointed looks like a good step in the right direction!) then I'll use them in that as well.

**angelofvengeance**

4 copies Azazel? Lol.

Speaking of witch, I can't find that Tzeentch sorcerer on the webstore. Sold out in Oz. MIA on the UK site. No show on US site.
