For some reason the card library isn't working for me atm, so does anyone know offhand - is the numbering sequential by type? For example, all the generic power, upgrade, and glory cards, followed by faction-specific ones?

Cards 1 through 232 are faction specific. The order is:
Garrek's Reavers
Steelheart's Champions
Sepulchral Guard
Ironskull's Boyz
Chosen Axes
Spiteclaw's Swarm
Magore's Reavers
Farstriders

The cards types are ordered by objective, ploy, upgrade within each faction (9, 10, 10)

And the universal cards are ordered as such:
233-307 Objectives
308-372 Ploys
373-437 Upgrades

Thank you so much, TigerMafia!

Also, I didn't realize the last two factions that are coming (Nighthaunts and Stormcast-the-trilogy) were still set in Shadespire, that is pretty cool actually

But I see talk above about them being the starter set for "season 2", while the Warhammer Community post calls them "two expansions" (presumably for the current season). Both can't be true, can they?

That's all speculation at this point. We're effectively "done" with Shadespire right now.

The brand("Warhammer Underworlds") is set to continue with the Nighthaunts and the Sacrosanct Chamber and a new setting.

But I see talk above about them being the starter set for "season 2", while the Warhammer Community post calls them "two expansions" (presumably for the current season). Both can't be true, can they?

It's the same way FFG labeled X-Wing stuff. Every box has been an "expansion" of the main game. Says so right on the back of the boxes.

Shadespire is the card set name. It's akin to Magic the Gathering: Ixalan.

I hope there's at least some cross-compatibility, if not full between the sets/seasons etc. Even if they restrict your deck to only include cards from one set, it would be nice if you could still fight people using any warband.

Next up is the “Leader Cards Pack”. From the numbers on the cards shown, looks like an all-new 60-card pack. https://www.warhammer-community.com/2018/06/01/codexes-kings-cawdors-and-more/

There was a question at the UKGE q&a session asking if they plan to do any new boards and terrain. After some uncomfortable silence they just responded with a yes. Not the most helpful, but something.

They were also trying to avoid clarifying how many new warbands packs are in season 2 based on card count. It sounds like there may be some more card decks like this Leader one coming

The leader one looks like it's numbered as its own "set", though, right? If they continued that trend, it wouldn't affect the numbering for season 2...

Sure, but we did see some numbering for the Nighthaunt and Stormcast from that preview at Adepticon or so--I think that's what they were trying to avoid commentary on.


Had to find it--from the preview there, it seems to imply 557 cards.
Going off the current setup of 60 cards per faction box--that would be something like 9 sets(rounding down mind you) there.

I wouldn't mind it at all if they did some expansions that are cards only. If your estimate is correct Kanluwen, with 9 expansions in "season 2", I sure hope some of them are cards only. 9 more warbands is quite a lot to paint!

Nah, it will be 10 new warbands if it follows the first season's model. Season 1 had 437 cards for 8 warbands, since the core bands had plenty of shared universal cards.

So 10 Warbands - 9 boxes including a starter set (with more boards - fingers crossed). That's the likely release - but Gee-Dub are getting good at surprising us...

Saw this on Facebook:


(Spoilered for large picture).

As a fan of shadespire that looks really intriguing, but i'm hesitant cause we don't know if any of this will be cross compatible or carry over into the new starter set coming out presumably later this year. It's described as "this new board section"

How is one new double sided board section worth 25 bucks are they for real? I mean two double sided ones then we might be talking...but it's a piece of card..

Thanks imAGeek.

Any other interesting information in the WD?

Ooh, that's the sort of thing I was hoping to see for the game - shame it's just one tile (from the sounds of it), but I'll take it!

I presume there are no leaks showing the next core set...?

That’s all that’s in the white dwarf for Shadespire. Most of the rest is apparently AoS.

Thanks for confirming - I'm wondering if, given the cards we saw featured the nighthaunt executioner, the next seson might instead just be card sets that use the figures from Soul Wars/EtB kits. It would be a shame (as the bands make great little units), but also make sense.

I don;t suppose I might ask if the WD leaks show the dark elf Blood Bowl team in greater detail? (release date, etc)

No idea what else exactly is in the WD myself, I just saw the same Facebook post of the guy sharing the Shadespire picture and am repeating what he said there.

Can you ask him about any BB, necro or kill team information in the WD??

Thanks a lot!!!

$25 for a single board??? Seriously???

Yeah, hopefully a rather hefty rulebook accompanies it for all the new hazards as well as lore for the ruined city.

Awesome, I have been hoping for new boards

Even just the one, I'll take it!

If they'd released this when I got into Shadespire, I would have bought it--just so I could avoid having to buy the core box.

Since it says 'board pack' for £15/$25, I suspect that's for two. Similar price to the Blood Bowl boards.

Blood Bowl pitch is 38US$

I'm just hoping for some cool new underwords teams (warbands?). I don't (yet) play as none of the one out not really speak to me, but some dark oath barbarians, or cultists of tzeentch or slaanesh- or some none Empire looking order humans would all make me really happy. (particularly if they lool lile the guys fighting dark oath barbarians in the peice of art in AoS thread)

From bols:
Shadepire is getting some new cards and a third game board tile this week. We already have a decent set of warbands but insiders say to look for a refresh of the game in late Q3-early Q4. It’s a but fuzzy if this is a Shadespire 2, a new 2018 starter box, or just a new release wave of warbands. GW is said to be adding a new 4-6 warbands to the blighted city. These names have been bandied about:
Stormcast Eternals (the new ones)
Nurgle Mortals
Kharadron Overlords
Nighthaunts
Disciples of Tzeentch
Aelves (unknown sub-faction)

Source: http://www.belloflostsouls.net/2018/07/gw-adeptus-titanicus-shadespire-rumors.html

Oooh, if true that would be another full set for me!

Seem like out of those only Nurgle mortal seem like they need a complete new sculpt, the rest would probably be slightly modified version of existing kit.

I would prefer they made more warband like the Ironskull or The Sepulchral Warden.
