No bugs found on iOS yet though further UI work is needed.

Not keen on the card packs.

Battlemage was a preorder exclusive. Lord of Plagues is a WD exclusive.

Works fine on my Sony Xperia. Looking at the reviews it seems worst on Samsung phones. It seems funtional but rather basic. The best way to use this would be to copy the info onto homemade cards. It would get around the treasure card problem.

Just got a mail that my order is dispatched, woot.

I hate that the regular humans are not represented in the rules, though. A (rival) Tzeentch sorceror is more likely to be in the tower than a witch hunter? Okay :I I guess there's that battle mage. Oh, wait, he's exclusive so most people won't have him.

And I don't care that the upcoming heroes will probably all have rules for ST. I want human heroes that I know and love, that I have spent time modelling and painting maybe even played with aready.

yeahh, with internet its impossible to get the battle mage rules

oh waitt

Yes, and there's witch hunters, Empire generals, etc all there!

Of course you can get the battle mage online. Same for the Lord of Plagues. Printing it might be ilegal or a grey zone, depending on where you live.

My copy of Silver Tower is just arrived.
I've got also special cards for the Chieftan and the Knight Venator and a plastic token.

App working fine on my Android.
Prices are okay I guess, but I still want a physical copy.

I don't get how you're supposed to use digital cards... I guess it means your physical cards will be useless since you can't draw from your deck if you're using digital cards?

It assumes you have gone all digital.

You can draw random treasure/skill cards within the app. And roll dice.

The intention of the app is that you do everything in the app (with it being free and optional).

5.50$ for 9 virtual cards. That is disgusting. This settle it, im not buying this game

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.

Tiles! I wanna see them tiles!!!

!!

Furthermore, what grid size have the tiles?

Seconded.

The grid squares are roughly 1 and half inches.

I'll take some pics after work today.

But I like cards... Hope they release them physically later.

Drawing cards and rolling dice on an app holds zero appeal to me. I don't really want more reasons in my life to take out my phone while I'm doing something else, especially in social situations. Glad it seems for the most part optional besides needing it if you expand on heroes from the base game.

Agreed - I don't own (or indeed want) anything capable of running the app- unless it works on home computers. And that's not portable.

I also understood that Dice rolling apps are at best dubious.

You don't roll the dice in the app. You just keep track of the dice rolls.

Dunno if it has been said yet, could anyone explain what the agility stat is used for/ how it is used??

I suspect most dice rolling apps (using random number generators) are more random that the sort of dice most gamers use

(mould made plastic dice with etched numbers filled with paint then tumbled to clean them up)

Screenshots of the White Dwarf article describing how the game was created: https://war-of-sigmar.herokuapp.com/bloggings/827

Quite interested how the model-first design is done. Sounds like the game designers sat down in a room with a bunch of new models on the table, then had to come up with a game that would use them all.

You can roll them in app. It is the icon in the top right that you click and then select random.

Think I'd rather fork out £30-40 with physical copies of all the cards, than the digital stuff. Not sure if it would be that much mind, but I'd be happy to pay it.

Although worst case scenario is I just make up my own stats.. and its inspired me to add to the pile already, got the Wight King, Lord of Plagues, Dark Elf Sorceress and the Chaos Sorcerer already.

Those two WILL be added to the app in a few weeks. The WD article clearly explains that this is a way to play the Lord of Plagues "several weeks before he is added to the MyHero App".

If you are adjacent to an enemy (in melee) and want to move, you have to roll equal or higher than your agility stat, otherwise your enemy prevents you from moving and you lose that action.

Thx for the answer I like the idea.

I'm definitely NOT sold on the phone app, I hardly ever use my phone when I'm not working and I certainly do not want to use it when I play a boardgame. Still going to buy the game though. But imho this is the worst idea they've had.
And as someone said earlier, I also feel the need to collect all those heroes, it's going to be hard not to go into a shopping spree !

Got my copy today. There appears to be a hiccup with the printing as both the adventurers guide and rulebook have the exact same printed on them for the first 4or5 pages

The app works fine on both my android phone and iOS on ipad.

Hey all, late to the party since all the new news has come out. Am I to understand correctly that we wont be getting physical cards with any expansions that come out? That it's all digital?
Is it already happening?
40 pages are hard to get though.
Anyone have the page numbers with the details?

Please and Thank You.

Long story short; it's too early to tell. It might be they go digital only to start with and then release an "expansion pack" later.

Oh good. I thought it might be over reaction as usual, but was hoping for verification.

Thanks!

A couples rumors also suggest that going forward, new AoS Clampacks would come with physical Warhammer Quest cards, but that still leaves older models in a limbo of being App only, UNLESS a card pack gets offered.

The treasures and skills are actually more significant (easy enough to mock up a stat card, but the treasures and skills need to shuffle together.

I'm hoping GW makes a tile set to go with the Age of Sigmar starter, representing parties raiding either a Khorne fortress or a Stormcast enclave (do double-sided tiles with a khorne side and a stormcast side).

I guess GW hasn't lernt their lesson after all. Hell my son can get more Magic Cards than that. Is GW trying to say they are better than magic? So sad, I was getting excited for GW and what they were doing. Now I don't feel like buying anything now because of this.

Back to voting with my wallet now.
