Thanks yall. We will see what shakes out.

Me and another industry person were talkign abotu GW's sprue compleixty the other day and joked that they had an AI creating their sprues due to the complexity of them....... I am really nto sure they don;t! HEEEEYIKES!!! Those are complex!

DAMN. That crone almost had a Mark of Sacrifice.

Hey ho. At least thats three more models for my Sword* and Board AoS Marauders. Between the Spire Tyrants, the Untamed Beasts and the Godsworn Hunt, that brings the total to.. er.. six.

Dang it.


* Well, hand weapon.

Glorious!

And some mongo pictured the same terrain sprue twice and left out the one for the vertical conveyor tower with the chute.

Yup. Very annoying.

At least we can see it's two platform sprues, two sluice sprues, one derrick sprue and one conveyor sprue. Plus the previous Warcry barricade/walkway sprue.

Yeah, the axe and shield girl is definitely the best of four 'line' female models and the sword and shield one can be salvaged.

The other two drew the short straw when they handed out poses. I'm not even sure anything can be done for the one that's... spear dancing, I guess?

Still, the whole set looks way better when all the models are arranged together. I'm seeing some damn fine Goliath conversion fodder here.

On the other side, I was hoping at least some of the spider masks were 'push through' pieces. Looks like they're all integrated with the hoods, which will make removal a royal pain.

Interestingly enough, this picture implies there is a specific campaign to the box's theme. There are grand alliance quests, but what is new is they're talking about "branching quests"

New campaign system, apparently ! Which is always good to have.

These core rules differ with the "normal core rules" mostly with scenarios and different modes / quests. But otherwise, you have everything to play what's in the box in itself.

Does anyone else have the temptation to convert Spiderfolk into Necromunda? Cawdor weapon upgrades are released at the same time as Red Harvest...

Speaking of spiders, I like that a number of individual spiders are included as extras on the sprue.

A bit glass cannoney, cool powers.

Is it wrong that I want that Terrain more than the rest of the box?

Nope, that’s the same spot I’m in.

It's a completely normal feeling. In fact, more than normal. The default feeling.

If you wait it will probably be released separately at anywhere from half to full price of the Red Harvest box.

Same here. Not that I dislike the Azurite ruins that came with the first Warcry starter, but the chaos smelter terrain in this box would have been perfect for the Iron Golems.

I'm in for all the content myself. Both bands and terrain look good to me.

Think part the appeal for the terrain is that it has a strong theme. It fits perfectly with the new background of fighting for varanite. Way more than Catacombs on that matter.

I feel like a lot of that terrain would actually fit well on a Catacombs board. The conveyor belt pieces would be a perfect fit to cover some of the lava portions. The bridges can also be used, and the towers would be a perfect fit for sticking next to one of the lava portions.

Not sure if it was noted yet here, but the buff conan-esque warband are, in fact, Darkoath. "Darkoath Savagers" to be exact.

Those female barbarians would make cool goliath conversions

...whilst I'm thinking the Spider Guys would make for a fantastic necromunda Slaanesh / spiderery worshipping underhive gang - with a small smattering of pistols etc. Just need to see what gang creation rules are in the new Necromunda supplement.

Otherwise, kinda looks like good value for a 'starter' set release. Not going to be diving in though as we are so close to the 3 year game cycle, I'd rather join a 'possible' new edition from the start and not add stacks of rules / cards etc to the pile relegated rues and supplements.

Savagers. Just wow.

Speaking of which here’s the Darkoath Savagers article

I like the part where the same ability is showcased twice

The witch's ability seems crazy good for a double.

It's somewhat tempered by the fact that you can only spend 1 wild die on a given grouping, so you're not turning a double into a quad with 2 wild dice.

Savagers. Just wow.

Conventionally you'd think they could just be called savages, but I think GW would like us to know that they are in fact very cultivated about their savaging.

Savages would be harder to defend in copyright dealings, too?

Man oh man. We baulked when Catacombs came out at the price it was, but it seems so cheap when compared to the Red Harvest set.

AUD$350. Hot damn...

Anyway, all da spruez:

GW prices are like gasoline. We balk at gas prices too but pay them anyway.

Yeah but petrol prices go back down.

Catacombs seemed worse because, to me at least, it felt like less than was in the core box not long prior (with half the scenery just being doors and stuff) and was significantly more expensive. This at least feels on par with the core box, while still being more expensive, so it’s only worse in one way rather than two.

Yea there was a massive price jump with Catacombs / Pariah Nexus for less content but now like the slowly cooked from we got used to the new baseline and a marginal increase in price with a marginal increase in content seems okay.
