This is the most exciting GW product (at least to me) since Mordheim, I love how characterful the miniatures are. Hopefully we will get a look at some gameplay next weekend. Also it would be really cool to get some background and maybe a pic or two of some of the other four bands. If they are anything like the first two we are in for a treat.

Impressive minis thus far. Kind of disappointed they are shoe horning in other races from the off, as I am totally ok with the "different facets of chaos" approach.

Agreed.
Can't really say that these guys were a reveal, since we've pretty much all seen them a few months ago. Wonder if the release rate is going to be as slow as necro?
No. That was FW led wasn’t it. This is still GW, I think the warbands will all come out on release day.
Yeah, as a GW proper game the comparison is Kill Team and Shadespire. Even if the other warbands are not out on day one, it's a pretty safe bet that it will be a matter of weeks rather than one gang every quarter as for Necromunda.
No way will the release rate be as fast as Kill Team. 99% of these minis already existed, while Warcy ones are all new.

Like the Shadespire warbands were, right?
They’ll most likely be spread over a few months.

Shadespire released much quicker than Necro. Almost two seasons in the same time as it took to get all six gangs. It had two in the starter and two the next week (or month? Dunno anymore), right. Four bands real quick would be a great start I think. I guess how quick the rest releases depends on the other, non-Chaos releases being bespoke kits or just rules.

I suspect that the other races are being given rules to play Warcry. I don’t think they are being “shoehorned” into the opening narrative, which appears to be chaos-centric.

I think this to be the case also. I imagine the core book probably won't even mention the other races. I think GW is just going to put out some PDF rules for them because so many people were asking for rules for other races. I wouldn't be too surprised if they put out a few boxed war bands for the other factions too, similar to the KT boxes or maybe if we are really lucky a mixed box of sprues (for example one sprue of skeletons and one of Grave Guard for five of each) at a slight discount. I doubt we will see any new models for them (At least Warcry branded) or any fluff beyond maybe a paragraph for each at the beginning of each list in the PDF. Maybe some will be included in a future expansion ( like Empire in Flames for Mordheim), though to be honest if a big expansion like that does come out I would rather just have more Chaos bands.

Indeed. They’ll get pdf, maybe a slim chance of something in the book, but I doubt that.
I could see boxes like you say, minus the discount bit. More if it has a printed version of the pdf or whatnot.
Yeah to readdress my over eager suggestion. All warbands At release, I think I meant more as in pretty sharpish rather than what I put, being all that weekend.
But there is nothing shocking about a Kill Team / Underworlds pace.
Bear in mind, all the models are done and most likely produced and in boxes ready (or in the next few months will be the case, that statement sort of depends when the ‘Summer’ release ends up being).
The point is, when this comes out. I will likely buy something from it, and then hope someone local plays the game

Kill Team had all factions in the core book. In spite of all the models being available at the time, they then released the actual Kill Team boxes over the course of months. By availability of the models, that was unnecessary. One assumes they just wanted to have fresh releases for a while to keep interest up.
I assume Warcry will see something similar happen, with a core box to set things up and then a couple of months that see related releases.
All new models is no hindrance to GW. Six warband kits and some critters for what is by all accounts this year's big summer release is hardly the biggest release we've ever seen.

Shadespire got its core box with two warbands, then another two within two weeks. That was at the end of October or start of November, if I recall, with the next two coming in February. It took Necromunda that long to get out Orlocks. By the time the six houses were released, Shadespire season 1 was wrapped up and we already had season 2 warbands.
So yeah, that doesn't even compare. If you want slow releases from GW proper, look at Blackstone Fortress. They are in no hurry there. But I see no indication that Warcry will go that way.

I don't as much like the Chamon guys, but these guys specifically would be really cool standard non-Chaos barbarians for other minis games, though. Especially if put together with the Godsworn from Underworlds, even though those minis all have steel weapons.
Did I miss anything about how many of them will be available in a set?

Important thing to remember with regards to the whole "Realms" thing is that each has a different manner of "Realmstone". Ghur has what are effectively "bones" as its Realmstone; a material that is a bit more impressive than ordinary steel.
It's very possible that these guys use some of that material for their weapons.

I have mixed feelings on these barbarians, not enough beards maybe. Some look cool though...I kinda prefer the iron golems a little more.
Looking forward to seeing some gameplay of this though, cause honestly that will be the deciding factor for me. I don't need to be buying any more games that sit on the shelf.

Same. At this point we know GW can make good looking models, I'm more concerned wether or not we will get a good fantasy skirmish game.

I dunno, after nearly 25 years, I am mostly just interested in GW for the models, not the rules.
better if this has good skirmish rules, though, as GW stuff are pretty much the only minis games played in my area, so at least I can finally play skirmish games with someone, as I have no time to play armyscale games anymore.

The way he holds his sword (position of knuckles) indicates that he is about to use the sword as a club (hitting sideways while twisting the hands as in a baseball swing, thus loosing some control of the orientation of the toothed edge) anyway - so he seems to have already adapted to the helm and given up the finer parts of swordplay
That said, I see nothing wrong with a barbarian using force instead of finesse.

It that was a side way swing the Club had to be way lower and closer to his left shoulder.
Seriously, pick up a stick and pose before sculpting. It's a standing pose, not a jumping pose. Or you'll end up with awkward and very uncomfortable pose.

I am really interested in seeing how modular these are.
You know whilst I LOATH the deign choice of flat on flat connection points for all the arms, the most interchangeable and diverse kit GW ever did is the Slaanesh range. Seekers, chariots and deamonettes all use the same head and arm connection points so you can effortlessly swap parts between them. And as they use the same mounts the riders from seekers and chariots can swap over too. Far as I'm aware that's one of the few times GW intentionally did a kit that can swap over parts between kits so easily.
