Well I've now done 7 Shadespire videos and it's taken me to 50 videos on my channel.

So time for a subscriber giveaway, the participation cards from the first tournament.

https://youtu.be/we_pVYQTj0M

On a whim I bought the core of Shaedspire at the weekend.
(First GW things I've bought in donkeys) Haven't had a chance to play it yet but just from reading the rules they seem pretty solid.

Minsi are nice, fit together well APART from the female Stormcast, No matter what I did there was a huge gap in her right shoulder pad and I ended up having to greenstuff it, which was annoying because I wanted to spend as little time building and painting them as I could (as a little challenge to myself, as I normally drag things out.)

Did this happen to anyone else, or did I maybe just get a bit of a duff cast?

Models are excellent, but aren't perfect. I think most of the SC fit well and gap was easier to fix.

Saek have a huge gap on his chest, his back. His left arm didn't stay at one piece unless glued. Also weird detail between his left hand and the armguard.

Arnulf have missing detail on his left hand, the hand just blend over the pommel, also is left thigh plate have some problem too if i remember right. Also gap on back and collarbone that need filling. Head also need glue and fill gap.

Garrek shoulder pad have gap, pretty obvious, also armpit.

Targot fit perfectly, no gap. Same for Karsus, small gap on the chest, not really noticeable like Saek.

I have 2 sets of Garrek's Reaver btw so mine probably wasn't a miscast.

Cheers Chopstick, sounds like I actually got lucky as all the others were pretty tight.

I had no issue whatsoever bar Angharad, and hers was an easy matter. The expansions went even more smoothly.

No problems either.

Does anyone know how Blood and Glory finished and what the finalist decks where?

Rhuaridh from WarCom won with the Sepulchral guard. Second were Garrek's Reavers, followed by steelheart's champions and Ironskull's boyz taking the fourth place. I don't know the gap between 1st and 2nd but from what I heard the difference between 2nd and 3rd was literally one glory point, and 3rd and 4th a meager 2 points.


I think reddit had the finalist and champion decks posted.

Rhu won 2-0 in last game against Tom Martin. I heard that Rhu make an illegal move by activated his Warden after he charged to move his 2 skeleton and claim the Supermacy point. Martin is also really unlucky on his dice roll and card draw in the final.

Kinda sad there're no youtube recap, blog battle report for the game. Only way to watch it now is sub to the twitch channel.

Thanks
Lord Kragan & Chopstick

By any chance do you have the Reddit link? I can't find it online.
Thanks

I want to see the decks too. In my oppinion the sepulchral guard vanilla deck does not really work. It needs the Hold Objective 1-5 cards as a minimum.

Actually Ruaridh used no Hold cards

Having Hold objective card mean less consistency, especially for a slow team like Skeleton, they just become dead cards in hand, Rhu want to minimize that.

Interesting. I just had one game with the skeletons and the tactical supremacy (hold 2 objectives) did not work at all. The skeletons are just to slow and you have to be lucky to get the right objectives then.

Yeah, I feel like as more expansion come out, the Hold objective card will become more irrelevant and be replaced with more reliable objectives card.

I don't know. The hold objective thing is something, you can get without meeting very specific conditions. So they might be worthwile to have anyway.

Nah. In any case, I think that objective based strategy will be focused around having the objcetive changer upgrade, so to ensure you can get at least a specific objective without breaking a sweat.

From what I've seen, the gaps are usually caused by the snap-fit pegs not quite lining up right. I've started completely cutting them off before I glue the minis together.

I also have a question regarding deck building: There have been a few complaints that the official sleeves only have 20 power card sleeve, but is there really a reason to take more than 20 power cards? The way the games work, I can't imagine ever using more than 20 cards in a single game (I actually don't think you can even go through that many), so wouldn't any extra cards just be wasted and reduce your chances of drawing the card you need in a given situation? I kind of want to get some generic sleeves to protect the cards I'm not using, but I can't imagine ever needing more than 12+20 in a game deck.

^ You don't need more than 20 power card but it would be nice to have some extra sleeve given the price and you don't have to take the card out everytime if you want to change deck. (inb4 just buy more sleeve )

I got 100 clear sleeves for like... less than a dollar in a local board games store.

There arent the decks of stormcast or orcs? :(

The sorts of people who normally sleeve cards generally fall into two categories. If the collection of possible cards is HUGE (something like Magic the Gathering), they tend to only sleeve the deck that they're currently using. If the collection is SMALL (most board games, possibly most LCGs, Shadespire), they just sleeve everything. I think GW would have sold more card sleeves if they'd just provided a variety of artwork sleeves in packs of 50. Heck, I'd have bought some for other games. There is no chance I'm buying sleeves with only 20 in a pack. That's very much non-industry standard.

Thanks for the link to the top Selpulchral / Khorne decks! Do we know what the top Ork player was running?

Also, is there any word on whether factions will get alternate warbands? I thought I'd read there would be another for Stormcast and Khorne after the Skaven and Fyreslayer release, but maybe I can't find it so maybe I imagined it

Edit: On cards, there are at least 32 plus some clear sleeves in each pack (20 ploy, 12 objective, and clear for the character cards). Not perfect, but I bought a bunch and just sleeved all neutral and my faction cards, like you say.

No official word or previews, but the manual in the box heavily implies there will be a second box for both Bloodbound and Stormcast; themed around Blood Warriors and Vanguard respectively.

One of the Sepulchral Guard cards has art of a Vanguard-Hunter with the name of "Elias Quicksilver" wielding a Boltstorm Pistol and sword, so that's at least one of the Vanguard named and shown off.

Then there's Sanson Farstryder, who's the bossman.

So it's more about having extras for cards you might want to change out than having more cards in your game hand. I can definitely agree with that. It would have been nice to have a few extras, like maybe 5 extra objective sleeves and 10 extra power sleeves.

Thanks for the answers on the alternate warbands, guys! Hopefully they'll continue the trend and make another for rash of the six factions

Yes!!!

Seriously, that's fantastic, I'd been craving that already and it will only become more useful as more cards are released. Great to see GW planning ahead like they have for everything Shadespire thus far!

I just hope it contains close to the power and flexibility of the Gatherer engine; even if it’s not strictly necessary right now it will be appreciated once the total Warhammer Underworlds card set passes a thousand and the number of errata passes a hundred….
