There are (or were) limited cards but they were alternative prints (different art, card border etc.) of cards that were otherwise available.
It seems likely that this will be the pattern going forward.

Played a bunch more games yesterday, and the game is really picking up pace in our local community. Last week we were two people that had bought our own warbands, and yesterday we were 6 people playing together. Good stuff!

I tried a 3-player game for the first time, which was hectic but very fun. The Ironjawz that I was looking forward to so much really lived up to all my expectations. Aggressive and fast, I really liked playing them. Will need to adjust my deck a bit, but I loved 'em

You can play multiplayer?!?!

Uhm... yeah? 3 to 4 players can play a game, yes.

It is fairly well supported multiplayer. The objective cards have additional conditions for games with more players.

Note that you'll need two starter sets to play with more than two players. You won't have enough cards or game boards otherwise.

neat, thanks guys.
i didnt know about the multi player option.

i wonder why they didn't introduce a new board section with each expansion pack. that seems like it would have been a neat option.

Maybe this will be something in the future? Season.all new boards! One can hope.

My guess is because it would've driven up the cost of the expansions fairly significantly. You might think just adding a board wouldn't be that much, but it also would've required a bigger box, which would weigh more and thus cost more in shipping (which is still a concern for them sending stuff to retailers), would've taken more space on retailer shelves which are usually fairly crowded, etc. Don't get me wrong, I would've loved to see expansions with boards, but I can understand there were several business-related decisions not to go that route.

Hopefully, though, the rumors of a board expansion pack or something in the future are accurate. I'd really like extra boards.

Thinking about it more.. I kinda like how everything you need to play a gang is all in the box set and you don't really need to worry about anything else. Makes things feel more balanced.

Does this have limited edition cards that you only get from certain things or if I buy the core plus each faction box will I have everything?

If you get the ordinary expansions then you have everything.

The limited edition cards are all alternate art, not new cards.

Bought both the Sepulchral Guard and the Ironwhatever Orks and discovered a card in each box that is part of a set of armour that gives better bonuses if you equip them on the same character. So yes, a "gotta catch'em all" -type card.

I was wondering if any pictures or other details has leaked about the upcoming expansions (apart from the skaven video)?

Yeah but that armour is pretty much for fun, it's so woefully inefficient on one char, highly expensive for being on one char.

It's not a meta breaking card to say the least.

Regarding new boards, there is a reason it's called Warhammer Underworlds - Shadespire. People are using the Shadespire tag for the game and it's wrong. especially when the new location drops next year and you get pretty new boards..

People are just using what GW have been using all these time. They called the game "Shadespire" on their Warhammer Community site more than "Warhammer Underworld"

I guess its like it's Silver Tower rather than Warhammer Quest. The game is Shadespire and the series Warhammer Underworlds.

Kinda. It's pretty ridiculously inefficient and more just a fun deck to try out if you pick up everything.

I'm pretty sure Shadespire is the set name akin to a Magic block or Netrunner Data Cycle.

Yeah exactly this. Where do you think all these new aelves are going to turn up? They aren't heading to shadespire afterall..

As there will be a bunch of events for this, is it worth having a dedicated Shadespire event thread?

Kinda surprised it hasn't been mentioned yet, but updated FAQ available.

Big points for me is:

* Fixing roll-off infinite rolling
* Good clarification on Time Trap

The Sepulchral Guard clarification was a nerf depending on how you were playing it before. My area was playing that a returned Model could act normally, so they would charge, die, and then rez and act normally in the same turn, so this is a big change.

Also the clarification on "Tireless Assault" and attacks that target multiple models is insane. Harvester and Steelheart are going to have a field day.

Yeah, we played it that way, too, so this will be a change. I think it's a reasonable change, though, but good to have clarification on it now since I'm gonna be throwing down at Adepticon soon.

My local Game Workshop is holding its very first Shadespire tournament this Sunday. Really looking forward to it! I just hope everyone that will be participating are well read on the rules and the newest FAQ.. will print that out for sure

The act, die, resurrect, act thing is how I’d have already played it due to Warmachine influences. The failed attack on a multiple attack ruling would come out of left field for me. I also find it weird that you can shove Objectives onto Blocked Hexes, which pretty much removes them from the game, baring a couple of circumstances.

Also out first tournament here is next Saturday.

Do we have an official Warhammer Underworlds thread? If not, I'm thinking of creating one, in the "Other GW games" forum maybe. Rumours about new models/cards/etc should still go here for sure, but just discussing the game in general seems OT.

That would be great, alleus! Some general discussion in the N&R thread is fine, of course, but I'd love to see more threads on Shadespire here

Also, if you haven't yet joined the Facebook group Warhammer Underworlds: Shadespire, make sure to do so!

https://m.facebook.com/groups/1042038069262360?ref=bookmarks

The fixes in the new FAQ have been great, too - especially the two mentioned above, fixing rolloffs and clarifying Time Trap (my group was playing it right, huzzah ).

I have now created a new thread over in the Games Workshop specialist games section of the forum.

You can find it here.

If the OP of this thread could link to my thread in the first post here, that would be great. Try to direct the discussion there instead

Skaven and Dwarfs releasing in February! Pic from Facebook (sorry not sure on the original source, it was copied into a local Shadespire group page):

I hope the dwarfs are better sculpts than their infantry kits, because the idea of even sillier over-the-top slayers works in small doses. The Skaven are a must-buy and nice models to boot. Excited for the models alone.

I haven't played a single game yet but already have a team of Skaven Stormcast built and I am in the process of painting the Sepulchral Guard. I hope I get to use them in a game one day

Is this a typo? If not, I must see it

I agree the Skaven are a must-buy, and I'd also love to see your Sepulchral Guard! Be warned for when you do game, though, they're not an easy one to start out with . Hopefully the Skaven will be!
