Isn’t that the picture we had back near the reveal.
When we first realized new scenery and stuff?

They were just screenshots from the trailer, and didn’t really show the table size or the whole thing in one shot.

Now THAT'S the AoS terrain I've been waiting for

I like the fact that it's diagonal - more boards need to be like this

That looks pretty cool.

Wouldn't it be nice if that was the starter box.

Why would you think it isn't? All recent promo pictures for new products were the exact box contents, every time. And we've known the Warcry box is like 50% thicker than Kill Team from the very first teaser at GAMA.

Doesn't seem like the Warcry warbands will be multipart in the sense of different wargear or posing options :(

Splintered Fang look awesome though, and a great paint scheme they chose. Tempting...

Regular releases barely have that anymore, boxed sets like this were definitely unlikely to.

they're all plastic, so converting them is a trivial matter.

the distance along the stairs is less than the horizontal distance from the foot of the stairs to the wall plus the vertical distance up the wall.

Ah I thought we’d seen it all.but yeah definitely portions of it.

I’m fully expecting that’s gonna be the starter contents. I thought that seemed clear.

Looks nice.

If this is the starter set, hopefully they'll do the same as in Necromunda and also have the gangs available separately to get easy access to extra models.

Not contradicting you, but just to point out, some of us haven't handled the Kill Team box nor are we able to make sense of box render that isn't even the real thing. And when I say some, I totally mean me.

So in spite of good hopes and the educated guess of others, I for one will remain a little cautious until we have the existence and contents of the Warcry starter box confirmed by GW.

Sure, it is slightly less distance to get to the top, assuming you are coming from the right direction. Otherwise it's worse. And I guess the other nice thing about it is that you can possibly keep track of being part way up it by setting the model on one of the steps, if the base allows that. You can't really do that when climbing a vertical wall.

I would be really surprised if all of that was in the starter box. That is a lot of terrain.

If it is in the starter the starter will be priced at $200 USD or something. GW doesn't really surprise with value.

Starter boxes are much better value than standard kits.
The KT starter had quite a lot of terrain, and it seems like the Warcry box is actually bigger, so it does look like it could contain all of it.

I'm just hoping that most components will be available separately from the get-go. It's unusual, but not unheard of. And given the likely price tag, would really help the game take off.

I'm just hoping the Warcry box sticks around longer than Kill Team's... or Looncurse or any of the other box sets GW can't keep in stock.

I forgot the exact figure again, but the Killzone boxes are bought were between 40% and 50% cheaper compared to the individual price of the components. That's reasonable. And not just reasonable for GW, but reasonable in context of the wider market.

GW starter sets and bundles like that are actually decent.

Looncurse and Carrion Empire were not long term products anyway; they were always going to be short term products designed to only work for half a year or so at most. Killteam is a bit of an oddball because it is a longer term game, but I think some of that was GW testing the waters.


Warcry I suspect will be a medium term product unless GW is making it into AoS Killteam. Ergo it will last for a good while but its not going to last as long as, say, getting started sets. This is even more the case if (as I suspect) we will see GW roll the new models from Warcry into a big Slaves to darkenss/Dark Oath army release.

Amen on the gladiator love. This is probably the thing most keeping me interested in War Cry, that and the success of Kill Team as a gaming experience (still playing weekly). It is of course ironic that I'm just now starting to look back at Arena Rex itself, which I KS'd years ago but never read the rules for until yesterday

Sadly for AR, GeeDub makes it so easy to dive in, build stuff and (probably) find opponents, plus their preposterous production limits force you to immediately grab stuff you're even partially interested in ...

There are- most of the walls in the image above are the existing AoS walls. What is interesting about that image is it shows new components that expand the existing terrain with extra modular pieces, like stairs and the bell tower. The basic ruins are pretty bland, so the extra components help hugely in providing variety, detail, and visual interest to an AoS themed ruined city.

Those are not the regular aos walls. The shape and size is the same but the detailing is different. You can see them up close on the reveal video. That does mean that they will probably be compatible with existing terrain.
I imagine they will put out new terrain and board packs as they have done for Killteam.

As someone who possesses an entire table of Mordheim terrain (most of which is hand-made) I'm looking forward to any kind of skirmish game I can use the figures for - unlikely to be Warcry itself of course, but I'm loving the aesthetic (and I generally dislike AoS aesthetics so that's saying something).

Welcome to the jungle!

I couldn't get anyone to play AR, sadly. Even with all the sick helmets.

I hope Warcry is easy enough to use as an intro game for my 9 years old nephew. A simple but fun game, with easy to manage but somewhat impactful upgrades that plays super fast and has easy bookkeeping would be ideal. And all that terrain wouldn't hurt, either. If it's the Iron Golems and Untamed Beasts plus terrain and the NPC monsters I hope they'd stick to the Kill Team starter price, which was a good offer...that I didn't buy fast enough. More and this is probably dead.

Yes, walls. Usable, modular, combinable walls. Compared to the latest terrain release which is just flat surfaces and some pillars this is much more up my alley. And then there's the gangways, ladders and obstacles, stuff that's sorely been missing for a while.

I'm getting the urge to buy one of each ruin kit and build a few tiles of fantasy zone mortalis.

Azyrite Ruins say hello. These have been around for a while, same as the Ruins of Osgiliath (available also in smaller sets some time ago).

Already have those, and they're great but provide extremely little in the way of customisation and variety, but thanks for trying to help.

Yeah, those Azyrite ruins and townscape look way more modular than they really are. There are very few options with them, so you can't really fill a table with them. Buying a second set would mean a lot of identical pieces.

I never checked the spues before now. That's actually disappointed. Just from glancing at them I would have guessed they're like Cities of Death tiles, but no. Rigidly cast large sections it is.

Hopefully Warcry terrain will be better, but with Gw you never know. Monopose walls ahoy!

Yes, that's why I'm looking forward to this new set. Hopefully it will be much more modular, and hopefully stackable which the current ones are not. The Azyrite Townscape really only has two ways to put it together. The way shown on the box, or you can put the two long pieces together and the two short ones together, but then the floor pieces don't work out that well. But at least you can end up with four different corner pieces. But that's all the options, and you can't stack them to make anything higher.

Corvus Cabal

Meet the Corvus Cabal – a shadowy pack of murderers hailing from Ulgu. These guys worship Chaos as a vast, black-feathered bird known as the Great Gatherer, offering trophies stolen from their victims to this strange deity. The Corvus Cabal have come to the Varanspire to seek the patronage of Archaon, who they see as an avatar of the Great Gatherer. They use stealth, guile and unnatural cunning to claim victory in the Bloodwind Spoil.

Ok so they are pretty awesome

The guy with the stilts is just comical.
