Which is nice for a novel or RPG, but GW seems to prefer typical representation of locations over something more nuanced when it comes to its wargames. I'm not saying that with the predominant theme of savage lands there is no room for civilization in Ghur, just that it's not something I'd expect from GW because of how they tend to go about things. If Ghur was the entire setting of AoS I'd expect to see expansion into an urban environment eventually, but since GW has seven more Realms and the Eightpoints and whatever they feel like adding on top of that, there is no pressure to add something to the chosen part of the setting that is only going to dilute its theme.

Wednesdays Warhammer+ battle report is Warcry Bloodhunt so it must be released in the next 2 or 3 weeks.

The Khorne warband looks better with the regular heads rather than the masks glad there is that option.

Sounds right. It's meant to be a release every three months, so mid-Feb sounds correct.

Ehhh...
Sundered Fate was preorders on November 20th while Shadowvaults was preorders on October 15th. We should be getting Soulshackle stuff first, not Bloodhunt.

This may just be a tie-in to Khorne Week.

Do you think they're going to do another run/print of Shadowvaults since it sold out so quickly and Into the Dark is now OOP? Or will they go straight into Soulshackle and release the Kasrkin in a KT squad box?

I don't think GW has done reprints of either Warcry or Kill Team boxes once they've been replaced by the next box. With the Arbites and Dark Eldar now officially revealed and possibly a month or less until release, it's pretty unlikely that GW makes more of a prior Kill Team box.

Interesting how Khorne gets a warband that's blatanty Khrone, no is-it-or-isn't-it-god-influenced subtle design.

Khorne is not a subtle god

Vampires look damn nice, I really hope they're not ridiculously tall like Soulblight are.

Dam straight. At reasonable proportions they would make for FANTASTIC

Nice terrain upgrade.

Yup. Liking it.

Bladeborn from ToC 2021 still useable with the rules from WD 482 (the WH+ vault currently has up to 480). While similar there are some differences in the rules from ToC to WD.

Q: Can I use Bladeborn fighters from the Tome of Champions
or White Dwarf in Warcry?
A: Yes; use the rules found on page 91 of White Dwarf 482 to
do so.

Hm, interesting changes to undead model revival. Other than that mostly just clarifications/better wording.

Interesting. I wonder if this means the ToC profiles are now more.. or less.. likely to get an update since this confirms we can use them exactly as they are right now.

I want to paint the Vamps like Airbenders. Imagine the werewolfbat...thing riding around on a bubble of air and being really happy.

Creature Caster is doing STL files now and their first offering would make a really nice Warcry band if they print well (and no risk of super delayed miniature delivery when it's digital files over MyMiniFactory...well, small risk ). I haven't ever played with my copy of the first Warcry starter, but I think there's rules to make your own warbands? Otherwise Unmade might be a good fit to run as proxies.

Well huh. Didn't even know Creature Caster were doing a tribe.

Those figures would definitely fit in for WarCry!

Bloodhunt next week:

Just confirmation that prices stay the same

£110, €145, $185 for Bloodhunt
£40, €50, $60 for the warbands

Thanks Dave. Nice to see they haven't tacked another fiver onto it again.

Man, just two copy pasted trees a two little two wall shacks in a $185 box...

I'm gonna pass on this one. Each successive release just contains less and less. Heart of Ghur gave you a good amount of scenery, Sundered fate gave you two less sprues of terrain but you still had three large things to put on the table and a couple cool little terradactyl things..

Bloodhunt we are down to just two trees...

Oh i like these guys, i like them a lot:

Regarding price/value... I dunno. A lot of Warcry figures I've gotten from box sets have ended up resold individually so maybe it is because of that, but I look at (almost) every model in (almost) every warband and see an RPG character people would gladly shell out $5 to get in worse material with worse detail.

Here is my unboxing & review of the new Bloodhunt box, including size comparisons of both the Trueblades and Claws of Kharanak with various other Soulblight and Khorne models, and we also built the terrain to demonstrate how the new palisade sprues interact with the old Gnarloak trees:

Looking good.

Its been a while since they relaunched Warcry, and now wondering if we'll shortly see a starter set similar to Kill Team's.

Looking at the preview for AoS Coach’s Khorne and Slaanesh Battletomes reviews the Claws of Karanak are listed in the Khorne book but there is no new Slaanesh unit (other than the Lord of Hubris) so it looks like Nightmare Quest won’t feature Slaanesh - although it’s possible they get a separate warscroll.

In my opinion it is more likely that GW omitted the army book entry because the army book and Nightmare Quest were planned to be released too far apart than putting three blatantly god aligned warbands in a series of four boxes and not completing the set in the fourth one.

If you're thinking now, "but hey, screwing Slaanesh players over is GW's calling", yes. However, selling Slaanesh players an incomplete army book still satisfies that urge. In my opinion there is enough reason to pretend a little longer that we can have nice things.

I'll be honest--I got half way through the update hoping that it was describing a new World Eater's unit that someone had forgotten to include in the codex.

More likely is the Slaanesh battletome wasn't planned to be released after Nightmare Quest, so they felt like there was no need to make an unnecessary preview of what miniatures could be in the next Warcry box.

Remember, GW doesn't like to release rules without miniatures nowadays. And they don't like uncontrolled previews as well.

Warcry Crypt of Blood

Looks like some reused and some modified bits.

EDIT actually it looks like 2 products 1 with reused Underworlds warbands and a new SCE vs FEC set which might be Nightmare Quest but is literally translated as Power and Madness.

https://www.reddit.com/r/WarCry/comments/11xlv41/more_pictures_of_the_crypt_of_blood_thing_i_found/

So if I understood the google translation correctly all images are from the Crypt of Blood set with Xandires Truthseekers and the Crimson court. The nightmare quest stuff is just shown in the booklet as "you can buy this to expand your collection"

The text for the Seraphon temple also sounds like it might be an additional terrain box instead of the terrain in Nightmare quest. But the Stormcast/FEC are most likely from Nightmare Quest.
Also at first it does look identical to the normal realmshaper engine with the two platforms and a different top added but the stairs have many broken parts. So either its a bigger extra sprue with different stairs or they just reused the CAD files and made entirely new sprues

The booklet is called Power and Madness but all the others also didn't have the same name as their box so that doesn't mean anything

The images that show what is probably Nightmare Quest:

If there's a discount on the pyramid I'm in.

What is this, some sort of trapezoid plot?

The Realmshaper Engine looks to be a new kit there's extra damage on the panels that's not on the original kit so it's not that they put an extra sprue in it's an updated design with new sprues.
