Definitely a question that needs answering: if you stick a shard of shadeglass into a Namarti’s head, does it stop their soul withering?

If made, I hope the Tzeentch faction feature Beastmen. If they go for Tzaangors specifically, they'd double nicely as 40K Kill Teams conversion material.

Tzaangors have two options already (kit and ST). I'd hope for Chaos Warriors of Tzeentch instead, imagine how good they could look instead of blue painted current ones! And more pink horrors like the excellent ST one, not the crappy ones from the kit.

Or, if they go Beastmen for Tzeentch, a not ugly Bullgor (sigh, just call 'em Minos) would make an interesting unit for Shadespire...and give us a not ugly Bullgor mini!

Something like the Ogroid Thaumaturge, but a named character? That might be cool too.

Deepkin less likely.

Depends how you look at it.

If you were a starving person* and there were whispers of a city where one of your favorite "food" choices were scattered throughout a mostly abandoned city stuck in inert objects, you'd probably book the first flight to said city with your crew and some empty duffel bags.

*simplifies their affliction admittedly, but its just for comparisons sake.

It's worth mentioning that the Mor'phann Enclave lives in Shyish. They're known for their Namarti and their Soulrenders. I'd be shocked if Deepkin didn't show up but Daughters of Khaine did, simply because a Soulrender with some Namarti and an Incubati(a lore only thing right now; they're the "keepers" of the Namarti) would be a way to have another psuedo-horde warband.

It's also worth mentioning that Shadeglass, being a thing that can 'absorb' souls would be a huuuuge thing for the Deepkin to have possession of. Their raids could take a much more violent turn or they could even just start leaving Shadeglass around to trap souls 'peacefully'.

so we can assume, the possibility, nightvault the 22nd, since we already got both preceptor knight & beastmen this early on pre order

How long are the season 1 things available? Until season 3?

Just from the way the cards are labeled, I'd not be surprised to see the Warbands remain playable indefinitely and only the common cards cycle out.

I don't think this will happen. GW is doing common cards as part of their organized play stuff. I've gotten some cool alternate art cards from it so far.

I could see them doing it after like 2-4 sets.

Surely if anything the following ‘seasons’ could just have faction specific cards and everyone uses the base stuff from the first 1-2/3 seasons.
I can’t see older stuff becoming unplayable. I know some care and model games do it that way
Not GW’s style (never thought I’d say that)

if someone wants to ask him if there are other bands in the book ..

I hope they wouldn’t, I am just getting into the game but would lose interest if models I spent time painting became unusable in the game. I don’t mind them cycling cards out or older forces not being top of the meta but I would hope they would remain useable.

I am OK with a game, to keep the story going and to offer more models without destroying balance, removing some models every once in a while. Like keep 4 or 5 seasons active at a time, but retire the older ones.

My assumption is that the models will always be playable along with the warband exclusive cards for those models. If anything cycles, I assume it will be the common cards from the set. They unique symbols for each group of cards sets this up pretty nicely.

This kind of games end up being bloated, so yeah. Some kind of "format" will be implemented in the future.

But I think they will retire cards, not retire full warbands.

EDIT: Ninja'd by Lunarsol.

I'd be 100% OK with retiring generic cards. As has been said, making models unusable would be a bummer and disincentivize painting. Hopefully they've planned for this but it seems to make sense!

Release date is September 29th! From facebook:

Aw yeah!

Excellent. That will hopefully be the last release of September and see the beginning of orktober!

Come on, leaked picture of the forthcomong warbands!

So if 22 you can play at shops, they will get this tuesday/thursday!!

Waiting to see if there is some information about next warbands. Specially i want see a mushroom goblin!

I have to finish the last three skellies to have at least ONE faction painted before this comes out. Sigh.

Still hoping for Seraphon with good Sauri sculpts. And Freeguild or other regular humans.

We know we’re getting 8 teams in this new “season”. Three teams we know of so far:

Nighthaunt
Stormcast (Evocators)
Moonclan grots (or, at least, a Troll and a batsquig)

So that leaves 5 more teams... I’d say five out of the following:

Kharadron
Daughters of Khaine
Darkoath
Idoneth
Seraphon
Freeguild
Disciples of Tzeentch
Beasts of Chaos
Maggotkin
Flesheater Courts
Soulblight

I’m willing to bet on those first two, but after that... At least one Chaos team seems likely too. I’m hoping they won’t do more Stormcast/Nighthaunt for this season, at least. Apparently for original Shadespire the sculpts were done before the game, and this time it’s the other way around, I’m sure.

Seraphon would be an awesome surprise, but I;m holding hope for Darkoat and mortal tzeentch and or slaanesh

But then lets be real- all the the upcoming warbands will be nurgle and stormcast

Some feral ghouls and vampires would be cool.

Speaking of painted teams, I really need to finish mine...

Then again just about every time we play my painted teams have lost, so maybe I shouldn't.

A strigoi you don't have to buy the Zombie Dragon kit for would be very welcome.

Tzeentch seem likely cause of the introduction of magic. I'm hoping for daughters of khaine, vampires, kharadrons though.
