by and large I like them, though the male elf is going to break his index fingers the moment he attacks anyone with those claws

More piccies from Lady Atia, who credits Usagi3 @ Warfo (no, me neither, but thank you oh Unknown and previously unheralded sharer of nice things!

Excitingly, I see rules for Flamers and Screamers, neither of which are in the set. This bodes well for future expansion.

The clearer pictures really help you see the models better. I like them all, except the Sigmarine... beside all the others, he really highlights how boring the Sigmarines feel. (Personal preference.) I think the Mistweaver's mist needs a bit of alternate painting, I know they were going for regular fog style mist, but it just makes the model look kind of weird. Change it up for a more magical, colored mist, and it'll be ace.

Saw something somewhere about basically early adopter stuff for the game? It so, that could be a good way to convince people to pick up the game early. Since it's just prettied up stuff and not content or models you can't get later, I'm cool with that. (Absolutely hate it when video games say "Pre-order or buy in the first few days to get this content before we sell it to you for a quarter of the price of the game!" Some kind of skins that have no effect except to pretty up the game? That's fine.)

Sprues seem to suggest these models aren't going to be popping out of the box any time soon. Not sure if we can speculate anything from that, but hey, it's a tradition, so let's try: Seems to suggest they intended these pieces to be used specifically in this game (albeit with rules for use in AoS*), and that also makes it seem more definite this is intended as its own game.


*You know, speaking of those rules for AoS... Couldn't you set up the dungeon tiles and play AoS in the dungeon? Just have hero models versus bad guys (either heroes or small units). Core rules would probably work fine, and you already have rules for all the models you'd use. Maybe switch from one side moves, shoots, etc., IGOUGO combat, then the other goes followed by IGOUGO, to a complete IGOUGO? But even without that tweak, should be fine overall. Heroes' turn, Evil's turn, over and over, until some goal is accomplished. No need to wait for further books or buy rules on the app. And then when a Bestiary comes out (if it does), you can just switch to that. It's at least an idea for an alternate way to play the game.

Looks like GW have really pushed the boat out with this one. As you may have noticed, Dear Reader, I'm a bit of a fan of Warhammer Quest, and I know I'm not alone in holding the original in ridiculously high esteem. So to me, it's very pleasing to see this is a lavish set - it suggests real care and attention has been put in.

To date, the response has been overwhelmingly positive, just on sight of the contents. One can only hope the game play holds up (though I suppose one could always just procure this set to get the basics for a non-insane-eBayonet price, and then, erm....obtain the classic rules[/I] if these ones prove not to taste.

The Familiars, they have actual names!

Most interest?

We consider this a product that can boost the penetration of Age of Sigmar, especially considering that you will be able to play with the rest of the AoS range in Warhammer: Quest Silver Tower. Actually, as an extra goodie, purchasing the box in FLGS stores will get you a whole set of foil Warscroll cards that will cover for the complete existing AoS character releases so far. Very good move Games Workshop!

Such a good set, can't wait, think I'll pop into my local GW on Saturday to pre-order and test out the game (as I know they'll have a copy) then Warhammer Fest on Sunday!

[Asymmetrical Xeno]

interesting that the characters are all on clampack style sprues, i wonder if they will sell them individually at some point.

[Path Walker]

I'd guess its nice for them to have the option if they feel like it at any point

I remember reading something about limited time goodies like the foil cards and other stuff somewhere, like "early adopter" goodies. (It's a trick to boost the sales of a product in opening weeks, but I commend G-Dub on the way they're going it, giving away stuff that's just prettier versions of what you should otherwise be able to get, rather than some kind of content you can't get elsewhere, or will be paid content later.)

I think that's what the "Don't Miss Out!" posters are about, rather than, "This is a limited time product, better get it now!" (If they were trying to suggest it's a limited release just to get panic sales, I'd lose some respect, but I'm betting it's more about the limited time extras.)
