Looking at the size of the pink Horrors in silver tower, it would make sense to rebrand the current pink Horrors as blue Horrors, then bring out a box containing 5 pink Horrors and 10 pairs of brimstone Horrors.

Having seen them in person, the ST pinks are about the same size as the normal plastic pinks, while the blues are definitely smaller. It doesn't look like it from the images for whatever reason (I initially thought the same as you) but the current pink horror kit we have now is way too big to line up as blues next to the ST ones.

Weird, they look quite big in the photos. Atia, how beetly is the beetle, will it make phobic people like me squirm?

Don't think it really matters since they're daemons and not of this reality. Makes for a more interesting bunch IMO.

Lol, conspiracy theories? Bob is most and foremost my blog technician and lawyer, fellow hobbyist and helping hand/second pair of ears. Without him, there would be no blog, as he contacted me after i had to shut down my twitter^^

I thought Bob was your servo-skull?

And from said link, a screenshot of the app and the heroes in question. Not sure if that's everyone, but spoilered anyway due to size (and spoilers?):



With the exception of the Wight King, who last I saw was finecast (and can't remember the original name), everything else is one of the plastic clampacks.

There is a plastic Wight King as well, with sword and shield.

/Hard swerve back on topic: Have stores gotten Silver Tower already? Maybe someone is lucky enough to have his copy? I will be away next week, so unless my OLGS sends it tomorrow at the latest the will be no ST for me for some time.

But I'm hyped enough for Tzeentch to have made the contents part of a four gods face-off! *cough* rough drafts for the lists in the AoS lists section *cough*

True, but the picture shows Krell, Lord of Undeath, whose name I had forgotten a moment before due to my weakened Google-Fu (haven't had lunch yet).

I played against the Ogroid Thaumaturge in a battle yesterday against a store employee. Really fun game overall, but although we were excited to see the Ogroid Thaumaturge in battle instead it got dazzled by mystic terrain on the first turn, and then when it walked forward I shot it with my steam tank and a grenade launching bunderbluss and sent it to an early grave :-p

Wait...

Is the battle wizard seriously not in the app!?

Is it just me or do you guys also feel tempted to collect them all after looking at the last image with the heroes side by side?

It's a nice excuse to get a hero from a faction you don't play, isn't it!

I am looking forward to playing with my Necromancer though :-)

Yes, stores received demo copies last week. Some stores have since received their retail orders.

On the new battle boards; The blue and green board has raised sections.. Will that come with the new boards? or additional terrain? or just a conversion...

Sorry, I was only talking about retail copies. Good to hear that stores have them. Someone on Warseer apparently got to take his preorde home when his FLGS' shipment arrived, so there's some hope mine has it as well. I haven't gotten a shipping notice yet, which they always do right away, so it's a very faint hope. Oh well.

It's DIY terrain unfortunately (with dragonfate dias parts used). It looks really cool right? It's featured in Visions and there it talks about those terrain pieces.

I just got home from work and my copy of ST was waiting for me. If anyone has any questions I'll be checking back here while I'm putting it together.

Would you post a pic of the battle wizard card?

Just the order ones, evil beings have no business being on my shelves. (Clam packs are the exception, of course)

Pity they don't have Free Guild heroes in the list, though I suppose they're too busy leading armies and surviving to go dungeon crawling in a chaos deathtrap....this might be a point in their favor, actually.

You mean The Sorcerer Lord?

I'll post a pic of the expansion hero cards from the book if it isn't against the forum rules.

Pretty sure he means the (Empire) Battle Wizard that was supposed to be included with pre-orders.

Ah, I got mine from ebay, so I didn't get any preorder swag.

On a side note, the minis are fantastic, I can't decide which one is my favorite.

After just recently starting the plastic Empire General clampack, I too am saddened by his inability to defeat evil all the while looking stylish with a fantastic piece of plumage upon his trendsetting headwear!

Indeed, I suppose while Stormcasts go on adventures the generals and heroes of the Free Guild are left behind building settlements and defending their lands. :( (though if this app gets updates for new releases then future Free Guild models will probably partake of dungeon crawling as well)

In the meantime, what do you think will be the best proxy for the Free Guild? If the knight-heraldor helps with war horn blasts to inspire the other heroes then I might use that.(war horn=shouted commands)

I'm getting my copy tomorrow. Already gathering up the necessary materials to make raised and distinct terrain/treasures for the board sections. I almost want to get a second copy though, for more of a 'family game' version that I wouldn't be as leery about younger kids banging around.

App is up on the Apple store.

Seconded.

My god the app is buggy on Android. Crashes pretty much 90% of the time you do anything. Plus they added nine new skill and treasure cards which would be good if it wasn't for the fact that only YOU have them as others would need to also purchase which means you all don't share the same decks meaning duplicates are possible which I don't think was intended. Also where is the Batlemage and Lord of Plauge rules?
