I honestly think we will see at least one of the other 2 warbands later this year. .

I really expect to see them released together, like this bunch- they're not doing a dribble release for Warcry. Maybe not for a while though, otherwise we'd have seen something.
So probably both bands and a terrain pack well into Octoberish.

First we will see Chaos Sigmarines - Sigmar's finest corrupted by the dark powers of chaos - Stormcast with spikes
Then we'll see Death Sigmarines - Sigmar's finest stolen and corrupted by Nagash's dark powers - Stormcast with skull heads
Then - then - we'll se Sigmarines who lost their sanity and gave into their wild inner self - creating - Destruction "Orruk" Sigmarines - Stormcast without armour!

Then there will be a new edition and Sigmar will reunite all the stormcast under the Storm Grand Alliance!

Once that's completed they will.then launch a spin off, "spacecasts" !

It'll practically print money!

I don’t know. Technically speaking we have already seen the first two in reverse, Tornus and the other Redeemed becoming Stormcast. The Anvils of the Heldenhammer were all dead spirits who became Stormcast

That statement was a joke, building off my initial joke

Wow. 6 whole gangs in two weeks.

That's impressive.

There was a 'Deathcast Eternal' in one of the novels, he was essentially a Knight of Shrouds in plate armor. There is also one case of a Skaven replicating the process on himself so that he could gain the same immortality SCE have (as in lightning back to base and reform) but he is a demigod-status individual and would be unlikely to share that even if he could.

Looking at the Daughters of Khaine cards it looks like Sisters of Slaughter are the better option over regular Witch Aelves for 10 points more they get range 2 attacks and crits of 4 rather than 3.

I think I’ll be trying out the following

Blood Sister Gorgai ( Leader)
Khinerai Heartrender
Blood Sister
4 SoS with whips and bucklers
1 SoS with whip and knife

1000 points exactly. Everything has range 2 or more.

Thanks for the Twitter link. Good to know what I still need to assemble to get playing right away on Saturday.

I'm of two minds about the points cost. On the one hand, I think the slight points increase of Sisters of Slaughter over Witch Elves is actually sensible. At eight wounds they are pretty fragile and any increase in offensive power cannot be valued too highly because it's just as easy to lose the more expensive model as it is to lose the cheaper one.

On the other hand, Warcry's complete lack of equipment options and relatively high points values coupled with the fact Sisters of Slaughter are a straight upgrade means whenever you end up a few points short of 1000 there's never any reason not to upgrade to them. That's not exactly good game design in my opinion.

Edit: That said, Warcry is kind of boardgamey and Daughters of Khaine seem to be at the upper end of unit variety. The core stats are probably too simplistic to support that many units in a single faction without overlap.

Stormcast cards

Expensive as expected but I did not expect 150 points for Gryph hounds that really limits their numbers at least Aetherwings at 45 points allow for some filler.

Surely all you need is 6 Gryph Hounds and 2 Aeatherwings - 990 points!

You need a leader so you would need a Hunter Prime at 210 points at least then you can load up on hounds and Aetherwings.

Farstriders gives you 540 points you could add 3 Gryph Hounds for 990

Dark Sphere in London have just posted that the GW Trade Division have sold out of starter sets and not getting restocked in the near future.

I'm honestly not surprised, I figured it would sell really well. Glad that my starter from Firestorm is now listed as picked! Hopefully some of the trade division running out is them selling trade for launch day sales not just filling pre-orders.

Not getting stocked in the "near future" means its possible they could get restocked one day; but at the same time it might just be the standard cover-all answer without committing to anything either way. That said the cards and rules are all out there on their own so GW can always move the starter terrain to its own box along with the warbands in their own box; which would leave the starter purely as a nice cheap entry point.

Longstrike quad is kinda meh, but their weapon work well with Onslaught, give them a solid 4 shot per activation.

I was up to paint some blood stalker but they are so bad I can't see myself playing them

Just seen a post on Darksphere Facebook, saying they have limited numbers of WARCRY coresets, and that they don't expect any more stock for the for the foreseeable

GW being all schitzophrenic again, marketing this as the hottest thing ever while simultaneously thinking it won't sell and massively underprinting it.

Just because its the "hottest thing ever" doesn't mean GW can just produce an insane amount of product. They have to measure their actual real expectations for sale and their production and storage and postage situation. The last thing they want to do is overproduce and get left sitting there with dozens of unsold boxes; or have the product overfly the individual content release dates. Ergo when Untamed and Golems come on individual box sale along with the terrain pack GW wants those to sell not just have everyone getting the core set and ignoring the extras.

Plus there are practical limits for how much stock they can produce in a given time frame and store within that time frame before the costs outweigh the benefits for them.


Plus don't forget the cards, book and even the ruler are all on individual sale and there's a terrain (with cards) pack, and there's 2 more warbands coming on pre-order very soon so even if they sell out of core boxes, they still have more than enough means for people to get involved.

Unmade article.
Can spam low rank fighters and render opposition immobile on doubles. That's pretty crazy. Based on the weapon profiles they're showing off, they also go in for crit fishing, which personally I dislike the randomness of that approach.

and unlike a 40K or AoS starter when the Warcry box is broken up for re-sale that's a significant chunk of all a customer has to buy

At best they hope to sell you a 2nd box of iron golems or beastie boys to fill out your 20 and maybe a bit more terrain

with a broken up 40K starter they hope that you're buying a lot more primeris, lots more terrain for a larger table etc

although selling out quite so soon is probably not ideal (unless its another titanicus GM edition issue with them planning to restock but unable to do so for 6 months becauses of all the other stuff in the pipeline)

Wow they just skipped Cypher Lords warband focus.

Lots of band rely on crit, Cypher Lord for example. The long weapon poking unmade with only 2 attack won't be critting much. But they'll help buying sometimes for the leader to isolate and kill off other targets.

60 Points for a 10 wound unit is great btw,

That Nightmarish Visage ability for the Unmade is obscene. Warband wide 66% chance to disable enemy movement on a double...

FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) is the new standard for starter sets, now. Pre-order now or you'll never have one !

I fear I will have a mail telling me that there isn't enough starter sets to satisfy everyone and my order will thus be canceled...

Gee, it's almost like people ordering from discount sites have to compete for those discounted items.
