I like it, put it next to the Automatious SteamGargolem on the list of future Dwarf releases.

I think they are harkening back on a few original concepts in age of Sigmar. Stormcast Armor, apparently, was based on old designs made by Blanche, tzaangors where a thing too back in the beginning but were swiftly removed. Then there's rumors of a cult of slaanesh sprouting amongst the elves, not too dissimilar to what they originally had. So maybe.

So what you are saying is it's not AoS, but Age of Blanche?

I will say that AOS is going back to how things were in the older editions of whfb somewhat. In the new tzeentch tome they actually show you what tzeentch looks like and he looks exactly like his realm of chaos depiction, as kragan said there is a rumor that elves are going to be a part of the slaanesh update. In 2nd edition chaos elves WERE an option for chaos champion and god dedicated beastmen.

I don't know much about Blanche apart from his art but I do think things are being pulled from the older parts of fantasy. Which I approve of.

Anyone have a pic of tzeench?

It's on this thread. Search the comment "more artwork of disciples of tzeentch", it's the last image.

Didn't see this posted before - regarding the new Warhammer Quest:

WARHAMMER QUEST: SHADOWS OVER HAMMERHALL

Warhammer Quest: Shadows over Hammerhall is a stand-alone boxed game for 2-5 players set in the splendid city of Order – Hammerhall. Up to 4 players can quest in the catacombs and dungeons below the city, while another acts as game master, setting fiendish obstacles, controlling the antagonists (monsters) and setting the story – it’s up to this player to take charge of revealing the secrets each dungeon has to offer.

The game is fully compatible with the Warhammer Quest: Silver Tower game and the Hero Cards. Any miniatures or rules the customer already owns for that game can also be used in this game. In addition, the game has a lot of replay-ability, as character level up and increase their skills as you play. The box contains 31 miniatures, including:
1x Lord Castellant and Gryph Hound
1x Cogsmith
1x Black Art Fleetmaster
1x Loremaster
1x Chaos Sorcerer Lord
5x Putrid Blightkings
10x Kairic Acolytes
10x Bloodreavers
1x 72 page guide book
1x 32 page adventure book
18x double sides board sections
55x cards
12x dice
A variety of counters and markers for tracking your heroes as they gain experience and skills under the city of Hammerhall

£90, on sale 25th Feb.

Hmm I do hope they throw in rules for other chaos beasties in White Dwarf later. On the upside, I get to add a shedload more acolytes to my Tzeentch force and my brother gets to have more m̶e̶a̶t̶ ̶s̶h̶i̶e̶l̶d̶s̶ bloodreavers for his Khorne Bloodbound force.

Do we know if the baddies (or anyone, really) are going to have any new models? Or is it mostly just a repackaging with some board elements?

I won't be surprised if they use this opportunity to release another stormcast hero

Not thrilled with the included minis. They should have included the new changeling as the big bad.
Regarding the books the adventure book the new one is shorter, but if you take out the extra heroes and adversaries and fold them into the other book the adventure books are the same length.
If you add those pages to the guide book that still leaves another 20 pages for new stuff. I hope this is given over to an improved campaign aspect.
I am also very curious to see the new board sections.
If they could release a box without the minis for £40, I would be all over it. I guess I will be trawling eBay.

I am also interested in seeing the new tiles the most! I really want to get this, but with Deathwatch Overkill still not complete, nor Gorchosen, I don't feel I can add to my project backlog just yet.

Also,

Slambo: Exalted Hero of Chaos

I came to see some pictures.

I agree - it's a pretty good selection of minis, but I'd rather no or fewer models and a lower price point for the tiles and books etc. I really want an expansion for WQ, not a new standalone game, even if it is compatible.

Are these new minis or old ones? From the box art, I thought I read someone say they don't look new.

I'm pretty sure they're old ones. The newest models in the box are the kairic acolytes, I think.

They are all old mins, though it does seem they are full multipart sprues. Also just noticed there are 18 board sections in this box compared with 13 in silver tower so that at least is an improvement.

Plus it seems we will have a game master, which I think is them noticing the complaints regarding the AI phase being a bit of a slog.

Well, I'd buy all the game elements apart from the minis separately, id buy Silver tower whole and add putrid blightkings to that. All the other miniatures from Hammerhall are replacable and of no interest to me..

I hope they make some changes to the cogsmith's stats, right now I won't even use him in silver tower because he's too powerful (along with a handful of others) and kills the challenge.

Can you give me a source? Silver Tower is the reason I got back into warhammer and the 25th is my actual birthday so I'd like to keep up with details of Shadow over hammerhal.

Thanks

i like very much that silver tower has no need of a game master. so i hope this is fake or at least the gm won't be mandatory.

If the game is fully compatible with silver tower's hero cards - why are there only 12 dice in Hammerhall? 4 Players using Silver Tower Hero Card's would use 4 dice each. That would add up to at least 16 dice. Not counting any monster dice etc.

No point, there's already the Lord Castellant and his gryph hound in the box.

I don't think we will actually have a "game master" but rather something like Execution Force where there's a set of "programming" for the "NPCs".

25th Feb.
prize £90

So it all adds up.

Also, dunno if this has been mentioned but I have been informed by my LGS-guy on the price of the chargers and the knight-aquilor: 45 euros for the chargers (he didn't specify number of models, but more than one for sure as he wrote it in plural) and 32.5 euros per aquilor.

're. Hammerfell, if that's the contents then not that impressed at no new models if I am honest,

Who is the big bad in this box? The chaos lord or is he a character? Also there is no ogre size baddie in fact the blight knights are the nearest.

I hope Hammerfell is expandable from the main range.

Man, I loved that aspect of original Quest!

So $100 USD $112? Im bad at conversions but thats what google tells me.

Putrid blight kings are some of the coolest models I have had the pleasure of painting.

I dont have any of those models save the blightkings and the bloodreavers so the box is good to me at least.

Rules to lvl up and have 1 player as the GM sounds wicked awesome as well. Hopefully that is backwards compatible with Silver Tower and somsone canGM that.

Comes out to around $3 usd per model, not a bad deal imo.
