Yes, indeed, look almost like if they came from... Nehekhara...

Gutted there were no Aelves shown.

Yeah, looks almost like Tomb Kings.

SHADESPIRE is going to be the best thing ever. Cannot wait.

The female Sigmarine is too skinny, otherwise it all look pretty standard.

Indeed, a teaser within a teaser. I love it.

This.
You are showing just how good this new CEO is at his job.
Before the physical sales start, you need to sell the idea that people want it.

Pushing a few pre-coloured models around a couple of pieces of hex overlaid cardboard is "the best thing ever"? I know you love your AoS Bottle, but seriously, this would have been laughed off dakka if any other company tried it.

Imagine how much worse it would be if they made the plastic plain grey and removed the grid. It would be like... Warhammer 40k or something.

It's got me excited (along with everything else shown.).

Cool new set-up with physical cards that hints at future undead and will be expanded upon which means 3 sources of new AoS models (4 if AoS Mordheim drops) and fluff?

My wallet is dead but looks like I'll be serving Nagash to get me on another spending spree.

That Shadespire stuff looks interesting. And more small releases for different factions can't be a bad thing! If they're pried similiar to BB teams a five man squad would be in impulse buy category. And quick assembly without glue will see a TON of kids (or vets) get to buy stuff and play after a demo or new shiny stuff comes out. This could be very healthy for stores and the game itself. Combined with card combos, who knows. Maybe they'll even go the X-Wing route and have you buy minis you don't need to get cards you want

I really, really like the running 2H axe Reaver. The Stormcast boys are okay, the Ladycast is very promising. Her chest (the armour, silly) is an okay mix of practicality (at least no cleavage that funnels arrows into your sternum) and "identify as female from far away".

The forces you can use in this game will be drawn from races across the Mortal Realms, including some for factions that have not received any new miniatures since we first ventured into the Age of Sigmar. Each of these sets will be composed of a small band of easy-to-assemble, push-fit miniatures in the style of our single-pose heroes to represent a specific band of warriors from that faction. These are provided in coloured plastic, and clip together, so you can quite literally be playing with them within minutes of opening the box with no glue or paint needed! (Though they do look great painted, and your dice will roll better – probably.)

This, however, is a bold-faced lie. They KNOW that WE know that painted minis perform WORSE in their first outings! But a band of a dozen models or even less is JUST what I want!

PS: The skellies look interesting, but I'll never not be mad until I get a Necrosphinx.

While I'm not thrilled it's starting with Khorne vs Stormcast, I'm just kinda glad they didn't start it off with the Anvil Wielding Khornate dude.

Initially I wasn't that fussed but actually this could be fantastic- nice quick, accessible game - I could get a few non gaming mates to play. Plus if they are releasing other factions as small sets could be a great way of trying out factions before developing them into full armies. Plus it gives those armies a wider variety of sculpts so even released factions can get a few new models and maybe gets early sample releases of planned factions.

Any news on when the Kharadrons go on preorder yet??

@ silverstu

AoS is indeed a quick, accessible and easy to play game that I heartily recommend. There's no need for codexes or force organisational charts or anything like that. You just play with what you have, using the entirely optional generals handbook for points values. It's the only GW game I'm playing at the moment. It's spoiled me. I couldn't go back to 40k in its present state now.

No elves. Boo.

Any idea what this Warhammer Underworlds thing is?

Going to try and push Shadespire at work, I think it's perfect for that.

Blood Bowl took too long to play and Dreadball was pushing it.

3 games in 45 minutes sounds perfect for lunch breaks. Pretty close to MTG

From war of sigmar ( and GW twitch)

"ironclad ship is on a imperial knight base, have biggest warscroll ever and is a transport !"

£90 im guessing.... ouch.

From the tga community: http://www.tga.community/forums/topic/8194-behold-the-kharadron-overlords/

Just confirmed on the stream. Ironclad and frigate are both transports. Ironclad has the largest warscroll in AoS (they had to drop the font size to fit it all onto one page).

Transports have a basic capacity, but can be overburdened which reduces the movement.

Skyriggers clamp onto the side of the airship and don't count towards the capacity.

Ironclad is on an Imperial Knight base and overhangs it - so it is seriously massive!

Next Stream reveal. New Battletome is very comprehensive, it's got a painting and modelling guide and a tactics guide too.

Each unit is airborne, so all units on foot come in an airship of somekind (sorry, I didn't what airships go with each unit).

This actually means we might see units packaged with the appropriate airship - which explains why the airships don't appear to come out of the same set of parts.

Kharadron Overlords pick a city they come from and receive rules from "the code" based on that choice.

They're also slightly larger than previous Duardin.

Edit - new info:
A tiny snippet now - one of the sky ports has a Fyreslayer lodge in it.

None of the "listed" colour schemes are red, however there's nothing stopping you creating your own sky port!

WarhammerTV will cover the larger Kharadron units but the colour schemes aren't planned (so request them on Facebook).

The impression I got from listening to Eddie was that each unit will start the game in an airship and the type they begin the game in will be whatever their "own" airship is (same as 40k dedicated transports), during the game there won't be an restriction

Shadespire is Mordheim redux? Or Warbands? Either way, it looks to do quite well.

I'm interested by Shadespire - but for me it's going to stand or fall on it's expansion packs.

It doesn't matter how good the game is, if they go down the FFG route of 'see this card....make your fleet dead good....shame it's bundled with a ship not even for your faction...' or worse 'you're right, Boxed Set C is a bit lacklustre. Tell you what, we'll sort that out for you, but you'll need to buy Boxed Set H.....'

Too mercenary for me.

Yeaaaah, I'm really worried about those ships now, I'll have to wait and see how the rules are because... again, Ironjawz have 2 ranged units: Shaman and Cabbage. I feel the game would be a wee bit weird if it consisted of dwarves spamming me with big bada-booms until last turn where they'd drop and claim objective

Nah, that won't stop us? They bring range? Send in the piggies and a gordrakk! Heck, this may even mean a good reason to bring gorefists.

Pretty good chance some of them are ladies

I think they idea here is that the additional factions would come with their own unique cards (and apparently dice as well) you'd then mix with the base set cards. So if you're set on playing Stormcasts, you won't have to worry about the contents of a future Skaven expansion. At least that's what I got from the blurb.

I doubt having Kharadron units be in transports will be mandatory, but rather something to do with allegiance (maybe mandatory with allegiance?) so that generic Order armies can still use them without bringing a frigate.

Come on April, get a move on!

When do you guys think pre orders will come available?

That's what I was thinking? What is so interesting with Shadespire. Seems really boring thus far.

So shadespire is AoS version of imperial assault and seems to exist just to get a dig in at ffg for making wargames.

Also given how overpriced FFG's collectable stuff is I would guess GW's price is going to be eye watering.

Will wait for the 1st expansions before I make a decision based on price and content.

How heavy is that chip? You thinking about getting it removed?
