I'll check the rulebook when I get a chance later on today, but from memory - when a fighter is removed, all tokens are removed from it. But I believe it remains inspired and keeps all upgrades.

Sounds like all my favorite factions have respawning then!

I think Snirk could be put on his feet on a second (or larger) base with only a moderate amount of green stuff work required.

Aren't the hex tiles for this game huge? Plus the models don't even need to be base to base? How could a standard posed Fanatic not fit? Even if you used the model with the chain at full swing and parallel to the ground, you could just turn him so the chains are not in the way because he's twirling.

I do like Snirk's model, but i'll probably just have him for display and ill swap in one of the standard Fanatic models. It wouldn't be hard to give one a flask and add some spikes their wrecking ball.

Why does that goblin have Navi captured in a lantern? Does this mean we'll get a woodelf warband featuring Link?

I must say the next 2 Warbands look fragile. The Gobbos have the first 3-wound leader (though plenty of meatshields), but the Eyes of the Nine - only 11 starting wounds and Dodges for defence. They'll be a finesse warband to be sure. The Ploys and Spells look awesome, I just hope they survive long enough to use them.

If you can keep your leader alive, you can keep summoning the blue horror - and it says "...on any starting hex."; not just your own, if I'm reading that right. Enemy is lurking in his deployment zone? set the blue horror on them. If it dies, summon it again.

Yes - and the most impressive thing about WU generally has been the balance of the different factions, so I'm sure it will be fine. But I have a feeling that I may be about to play a lot of long board setups with the Nine...

I expected the Brimstone Horrors to have a 'don't give Glory' rule. But on rereading I think it's the Blue Horror that doesn't give any Glory, as when you kill himm he instead flips and the Brimstone Horrors count as the same fighter. And they missed the trap of setting that as an Inspire condition, which would have caused all sorts of complications.

Sheesh that Zarbag looks sweet. I don't play the shadespire and have little interest(too much MTG in it for my taste) but damn I'm tempted to get that model just for painting to partial fulfillment of night goblin army I always wanted but never will get.

It's only available in that full warband box though?

That's pretty much first and only post-AOS fantasy release GW has made that tempts me at all.

Yeah a warband is two easy-to-build sprues. No parting it out. But they did re-release the first batch later for AoS without Shadespire cards for a barely noticeable drop in price.

Too much MTG in it? Because it uses cards?

So you claim it doesn't involve deck building with card combo's affecting game? That part of method to win doesn't involve figuring out good combo of cards for your deck?

Games that involves combo building don't interest me

Sure looks like building deck out of X cards to be used in mid game to give buffs etc is part of the game.

The miniature only box are in gray plastic though. GW (usually) priced thing in not-gray plastic cheaper.

I was just thinking that.

Lovely mini though. Quite a few of these Warbands made excellent additions for old skool Warhammer Quest as well.

That's quite the amount of words to put my mouth when all I asked is how you equate it to magic. Be a darling and try not to be quite so aggressive in your responses next time.

Inevitably the figures will be available separately on ebay after release.

Personally I’m avoiding it because it’s too much like Flames of War.

It's really more like Cosmic Encounters

In case he runs out of hearts, I'd assume.

YES! STAB 'EM IN THE KNEEEEEEEEEE!

Warband Focus Moonclan

Both the flavour text and the image on the card are perfect!

It's interesting that Drizgit the Squig Herder gets called out specifically as such.

I'm really hoping that we'll see plastic Squig Herders get released.

I want to get into Shadespire- Gonlins and Nighthaunts sold it to me.
But can I get into it by just buying season 2 two player box and skipping season 1 (khorne vs sigmarines)?

Yes. Although if you want the boards from season 1 for variety, you're better off grabbing the Shadespire box as well as Nightvault. It's $30 or so per warband and $35 for the boards themselves.

Thanks! I really don’t like the warbands in the season 1 set. I think I’ll just get the separate boards, when lack of variety becomes an issue

Zarbag’s Gitz warband focus: https://www.warhammer-community.com/2018/10/03/3rd-orkt-warband-focus-zarbags-gitzgw-homepage-post-2/

I think I’m in love.

Hopefully they didn't make another Shardgale duplicate .

Actually they lost tokens under the older rules too. What specifically has changed is:

Under the old rules, they game prevented you from taking actions based on the actions you had taken (a model that had taken a move action could not take another move action for example).

With the new rules things are tracked simply and completely by the tokens each model has. So you can't move while you have a move token.
