Do we have any idea of what's included in the Arcane Heroes box?

This (Source is L'Astropate blog):

Sorcerer Lord, Grey Seer, Knight-Heraldor, Skink Starpriest, (DE?)Sorceress

Oh, I wasn't talking about Silver Tower, I was addressing the conversation above.

I hope we get a Seraphon Silver Tower hero, personally.

There's actually two or three on the My Hero App you can buy the rules for. One skink one saurus if I remember right.

All the characters on cards would be very good. I made my own for the four extra in the book, but having proper ones would be great.

yea, real cards would be very nice

Second that a large bunch of cards would be nice. Heroes are nice but fancy more bad guys or different dungeon.

Can confirm we are getting real cards. They are glorious. The price isn't bad IMO, $25 iirc.

That's what the price list says, yes. $25 for all 44 for that are in the "My Hero" app.

Thanks, I just got the song out of my head and read this comment. LOL.




That said, I am wondering if these are the same cards that GW is offering online or if these will be something entirely different.

Why would you think they would be different?

Especially considering the Arcane Heroes box contains several of the heroes that are on the My Hero App, but not elsewhere?

Anyone feels that we have waited too long for any new AOS release?

I have a feeling that until end of this year where will be hardly any AOS new pieces, judging from WD November cover.

Chin up matey, I'm sure there'll be some more fantasy stuff they can repackage in time for Christmas.

I still hope the rumoured Silver Tower expansion with undead turns out true.

It looks like White Dwarf leaks were an even more dominant source of rumours than I thought.

Is anyone else having a hard time getting Dragon Ogors through a retailer (my country has no GW stores and an unreliable postal service)?

40k was in a lull while AoS was having a bunch of releases, now it's the opposite. We'll see more after the Genestealer release dies down, I think.

It has now been three months since the last new AOS model came out. For the future we have bloodbowl, burning of prospero, Fenris part 2 and Magnus all reliably rumoured but not a sniff of anything for AOS. Discount bundles and silver tower cards are very welcome, but I need my new model fix.

I'm guessing the next release will be Tzeentch Arcanites including a new Lord of Change and Silver Tower units in boxes, to make an all-out Tzeentch fest with the Prospero stuff. Alternatively the Silver Tower expansion.

Yeah, it figures that as soon as I decide to jump into AoS, GW would shift focus back to 40k.

RULE #2 IS STAY ON TOPIC.

AGAIN, THE TOPIC HERE IS "Age of Sigmar News & Rumours"

In a way Silver Tower is AoS related. Much like DWO was for 40k. I would be interested in a ST expansion as that would tell us the direction GW is heading with the AoS range. I was hoping for a new SC Kit for fyreslayers as well as a proper steampunk release for Duradin - but we shall see. I can only assume then Tzn will get a proper release along with chaos prospero maybe? Dual release for AoS and 40k?

I would hope we don't get more 'new' dwarves since we just got a steaming hot pile of them recently.

Plenty of other factions that need fleshing out. Then again, I think anything but Khorne would be welcomed...

I want new dwarves. Metal armored dwarves at least

It's my understanding Gorechosen will be the last Khorne-specific release for a while.

We've gotten a ton of Khorne and a Tzeentch themed box game (WHQ:ST). Nurgle gets a lot of love but no boxed sets, and Slaanesh gets no love (which is its own flavor of irony). Nurgle boxed game and Slaanesh boxed game would both be appreciated!

Any idea what the next couple of faction releases are likely to be? I'm thinking of diving in, but would like to know what's on the horizon so I don't buy in only to get a heap of new shinies dropped on the faction I pick

Current Rumors are Tzeentch of some sort (probably Daemons, possibly both Daemon + Mortals) and Steampunk Dwarves. Nothing known beyond that.

Warhammer Quest is definitely Age of Sigmar related.

What I predict, and what would be a smart move on GWs part, is that any new WQ box sets that come out (besides character packs) would act as stand-alone games...

Bear with me here.

Lets say they do an undead themed one next. They release a box game that has several new heroes (lets say about 4), then they have a bunch of baddies that fit the theme of the 'dungeon', and then floor tiles and cards to fit the theme as well.

You get your main bad guy...lets say a Necromancer Lord or some such, a big baddie (undead ogre, giant skeleton, some type of Frankenstein-looking golem), your main themed bad dudes (Armored skeletons, fodder skeletons, zombies, ghouls, etc), and finally a few random baddies (goblins, spiders, whatever).

Your tiles are all Necormancer dungeon/tomb themed.

Then the monster cards would have all the same look and feel, so you can mix them in with other WQ boxes...granted I don't own the game yet, so I'm not sure how this would work if the backs of the cards are all tzeentch themed art...

See, I don't really have a problem with the Tzeentch themed Warhammer Quest game....the issue I have is making that the base for all other expansions.

If GW didn't plan something like this from the beginning, I think it is a missed opportunity... and I have to think there wont be any substantial expansions for it in the future.

If they release an undead style WH:Q dungeon that's an enclosed game I'll be over the moon. And so so happy I didn't get Silver Tower :-p

Thanks! Dwarves are one of the factions I'd be interested in, so might hold on until I see what direction they're going in.

I have yet to see a reliable source mentioning a Steamhead Duardin release. There has been nothing in the last 6 months and not much before. A lot of chinese whisper-like 'rumors' from Natfka though, starting as Squats for 40k, then for AoS, then nothing happened. I consider the Steamhead rumors wrong if no one more reliable chimes in with real info...

I hope future WHQ are a bit smaller and cheaper- maybe 4 heroes, half the number of enemies, a couple less tiles etc, sold for £50 or so would attract more buyers i reckon
