A bit late to speak up, but Elites strike me as nothing more than the Special Operatives from Shadow War: Armageddon, with a few more model stats thrown in.

pimp yo game fool

Okay, those Warcry models look fantastic.

Dang.....I thought this was a lackluster event for previews and then Warcry came along and I'm stunned. Following the progression of warring Chaos tribes in a skirmish game that can be played on a coffee table and a game can be played in a (UK) lunch break? Models that are 100% unique and full of flavor?

So basically a spiritual successor to Mordheim (mixed with the original Path to Glory WD article) with shorter game times, small table footprint, and Chaos tribes as the focus (and presumably a less robust campaign system)?

Sign me up......this is pretty much all I've ever wanted for GW.

Also six factions?

Looks like the red guys will be Khorne affiliated. I'm guessing the Raven emblem has to do with Tzeentch? The Serpent Slaanesh?

Warcry is looking quite spiffy.

Shame few stills offered.

Did manage this one though.

And from pausing the video, I’m wondering if the factions aren’t God Specific? Or indeed, if any God is available at this stage?

Screencaps

Anyone know anything about the World Eaters Vs Space Wolves thing?

Warcry models look cool. Will pick this up for sure.

Just finished painting the Godsworn Hunt warband, some of the best models GW has put out for a long time. Currently working on the Darkoath Warqueen, while reading the Warqueen novella.

This Warcry is the best thing ever! Cannot wait!

Looks like the Warcry clans could be realm specific. The two shown in the vid would IMO fit with the realm of metal and the realm of beasts. Either way I'm looking forward to more info.

Edit - Looks like they are on a Kill Team style card printed battlemat.

Anybody else think the one with the red armor and flail looks female?

That would make sense with the printed battlemat, I believe KT was originally advertised to fit on a coffee table too. GW seems to have everything set up for designing 22"x30" mats, so I don't imagine they would change it.

Is that scenery in Warcry new? That bell looks perfect for a 40k cathedral terrain piece I'm working on

I think they mixed up the taglines. This is how it goes together:



"Even a god may regret the things he has done ..."

And the terrain looks just like an AoS version of that modular stuff from Kill Team (that’s in several other sets in general, but that’s what I have it from..)

Can anyone spot the 5th and 6th faction? I see Gladiators, Darkoath, Beastmen, Harpies. For a moment I thought there was a Skaven, but now I think that's just a Darkoath with a skull hat.

6 chaos “gangs”. Narrative campaign. This kind of looks like an AoS version of Necromunda, although I expect the rules to be very different.

I don't think the Beastmen or Harpies are a faction per say. The Darkoath looking ones are the best skull symbol and Gate is the armored guys in red. It looks like we have only seen two factions. I'm guessing the Furies and Monsters in the core set are probably miniatures that can join any tribe or are random hazards in certain missions.

Looks like plastic furies at 0.23 sec

Edit: Or hapies

But they both clearly have faction symbols in the lineup.

Warcry is where it’s at!!! Been waiting for this ever since the first Path to Glory leaflet. Awesome.

I'm gonna say the Fleshfaced All-Stars (based on the symbol alone), and the Triple-Snakes (they're the sneaky warband, so the third snake is hiding).

The ram’s head symbol is for the warriors with the bone weapons and horned helms, not Beastmen per se but likely from the realm of beasts.

At 31 seconds in the video they show beast skull faction symbol below one of the Darkoath looking guys on a split screen opposite one of the red armored dudes with the gate symbol below him. If pause the video at one point you can see one of The furies faces, and they are not bird like. I think it's pretty safe to say we have only seen two factions, though there is a guy in the art towards the beginning of the video that looks as if he could belong to a third.

Got a screencap of the harpy and a few bits I missed earlier

That’s more like it! Warcry looks amazing!

Pretty sure that fallen head terrain is Sigmar

Yah, because the people that was hoping for an Inq28/Inquisimunda type game was looking for an expensive boardgame with minimum character personalization and (so far) outrageously expensive expansions with very little content.

Oh, wait...

Starfarer wrote:What price has been announced for Traitor Command?

None so far, and we only have a single datapoint so far... which seems to be of the exact same size than this new expansion.

Well the reasons seem to shift back and forth regardless of what's released so it's hard to keep track of what is actually a problem and what's just the hobby of being outraged by anything GW.

Almost as if different people was giving different reasons, or something.

The facts as I know them are:

- The people that wanted an Inq28/Inquisimunda game wanted an Inq28/Inquisimunda, not a Warhammer Quest game. So they would still want it, and would not be the default target audiencie for BSF.
- The people that wanted an Inq28/Inquisimunda but still want the BSF models for it believe that the price point of the expansions (of which they have a single datapoint so far) think it's outrageous for that.
- Some of the people that wanted a 40k Quest game, which logically would be either boardgamers that like 40k (or well, not, but those would be less) or 40k players that play boardgames (not exactly the same) believe that the BSF expansions (of which they have a single datapoint so far) are too expensive for what they bring to the boardgame. And objectively speaking, they are very expensive for boardgame standards.

I mean, I can totally be wrong, but it seems to be the gist of it.

It's already been stated, but if I must...

The BSF expansions are quite sparse in their content given their cost. The value prospect of each one is lacking compared to other releases. One big mini for AUD$100? 2 smaller ones for what will undoubtedly be the same cost?

(NB: This would be the point where Ibris would chime in and sa "Nu-uh!!! The Ambull one also has those tiny grubs! So it's three minis! I WIN!!!!" or something)

Especially compared to the actual Quest expansions of old, that contained, y'know, proper expansions - new quests, tiles, miniatures, and cards of various types.

Eh? The Dreaded Ambull and the Traitor Command boxes do contain new quests, miniatures and cards. And some tile overlays, at least in the case of the Dreaded Ambull. They're perhaps closer to the character packs than the two big campaign expansions admittedly.

I'm pretty sure there are only three factions in that video. The guys with gate logo and the armour made of coins, the ram skull guys with a pet hound, and the harries with some pet birds. It looks like about six minis per faction.
