I imagine it will be the competitive debut of the Generals Handbook "matched play" points system?

Alright guys, I know I'm no rumormonger so you don't have to believe me but here are some news:

- The AoS rule book with points will have official 6 scenarios, points for everything, including Tomb Kings etc. It will cost 20 euros and is huge. It's coming out end of June or July.

- Alarielle is not on a giant beetle, she's flying above it. She's huge, Nagash's size.

- A new set of collecting boxes are coming for AoS: Around 20 euros for a "ready to play" set. For example: 5 Liberators vs 5 Blood Warriors, etc. I forgot if they have paint in it too or not, but they will have scenarios and rules, everything to be played right away and initiate new players.

That's all I have for now!

I.hope that those prices are true! I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for more rumours on this!

The price does seem low for the models but if itd just low model count bundles it is probably true. Just like the current start collecting boxes that are an amazing value! (If only the canadian dollar was closer to UsD id order from the states for 60 bucks for a box!)

**Kanluwen**

It's likely just them having rejigged the sprues for the starter set to make 'pushfit' versions of the Blood Warriors and Liberators.

So, I'm finally cracking open my Silver Tower box, starting to build the minis.. and it looks like there's no 40mm bases at all. How many should there be? I think 3 based on the directions? I got a big bag full of 32 & 25mm bases, and a second bag with like 10 25mm's.. were the 40's in an separate bag? Don't see em anywhere...

**Eldarain**

Mine were loose under the game board components.

The Knight-Questor and the Gaunt Summoner are on 40mm, the Ogroid is on a 50mm. The cultists, tzaangors, deathrunners and the smaller heroes are on 32mm. Everything else is 25mm. Don't think I've missed anything else.

**decker_cky**

I read somewhere that pink horrors were a typo too - and that they were the extra 32mm bases the set comes with.

Indeed. They look much better with 32 mm round bases.

Also, for the Ogroid, I suggest you use a 40 mm round base. He stands easily on it and it's MUCH MUCH easier to place it on the board with that size of base. 50 mm is too big, you will have trouble to place it on crowded tiles/be sure on which square he actually is.

Balls. Well, guess I'm rebasing those two...

Interesting. I put mine on 32s but there weren't enough in the set to do so.

**Uriels_Flame**

Well there will be plenty of new bases coming next week!

I'm actually going to rebase my army as those look really good.

**str00dles1**

I have the ogrid on a 50mm. He fits fine on the tiles even when playing. Havent had any crowed issues yet. He moves through everything anyways.

I looked at the 40mm and he hardly fits, it looks way to small *shrug*

**timetowaste85**

I "whoopsied" and put the Ogroid on a 40. Overhangs too much. Definitely on a 50. And I wanted my horrors on 25mm, as that's what's the unit boxes come with. I'm not going to have 2 out of 32 horrors on different bases.

**Eldarain**

Planned on using mine as Heralds when not questing.

**ResidentSteve**

My assembly instructions list a 32mm base for the Pink Horrors

They can be unit champions (don't remember the name), that's what I'll be doing

Also I didn't get any extra 32mm bases, and instructions say 25mm for pink horrors. Fortunately I had some extra anyway.

**timetowaste85**

The back page of instructions looks like 32, but the building instructions say 25m. And the unit change is called an iridescent. I'll also use them as heralds, in 40k, but I still want them on these. I didn't receive any extra 32mm bases in game either.

**Necros**

I've actually been thinking about basing everything on 30 & 40mm beveled warmachine style bases.. I have thousands of em from doing my own minis, always liked the look better than the GW style bases. Only thing is then they won't really match my other GW minis.. unless I rebase those too

Has it been posted anywhere yet what the extra cards look like from the Silver tower App?

**str00dles1**

Like a excel sheet, just 3 different panes to swipe through to get the full unit stats/abilities. Its very poor, hence why Im using a posted template to make my own cards for them

**Chopxsticks**

I found some templates on BGG, but I was just mainly curious what people thought of the in app purchases.

**decker_cky**

The in app purchase doesn't make sense to me, since each app only covers one player in game (can't pass cards or anything). So if you own the box set and buy all the cards, that only ever covers one player. Each player would have to buy a copy if they want to use non-standard heroes.

What in that doesn't make sense? GW gets to sell same app more than once for playing group. Perfectly sensible for GW.

Very good point. Makes this business model even more indefensible than it already was. And as good as the minis for the game are, I must say that the loot cards and the skills cards are very ugly and uninspiring. Most KS have better looking cards than that.

You mean each player would have to pay .99 cents to play?
Wow, what a terrible act of villainy. Consider most board games of this type only come with 4-8 characters any ways.....

Ditto. I don't mind the app, but I prefer cards. So i'm making them. EZPZ.

Played a game of Silver Tower yesterday, have to say that this game is unexpectedly fantastic. I didn't expect it to be this fun, since I'm more of a fan of euro-type games and have been disappointed before (by Zombicide for example, which is fun but not as good as I expected). I was wrong! We had big stupid grins on our faces the entire time, it's very inventive and the mechanics are easy and quick to learn. Would recommend it to anyone, truly fantastic!
