Warhammer Quest : Silver Tower teaser

[lævus]

looks like £25 to me, but still impressive at £35. surprised they have gone for another fyreslayer though, another race would be nice

Can confirm it is £35, saw it in print today when deliveries arrived. Still good value though.

Given the choice in heroes that was promised, (almost all of the available models I believe was the word) such sets wouldn't make much sense without a huge discount. Most people will end up with 3 models that are at best close to what they would have bought individually.

all existing models in plastic is the key proviso. I am hoping they extend it to resin models though, you can't play Warhammer Quest without a witch hunter after all.

Well, Horrors just became a PITA to properly job - as is right and proper!

And if Grot Scutlings are ever released as a boxed set on their own? I'm having twelfty! Just something I love about those models!

I asked one of the writers of the game about Scutlings, if they were like that before the Silver Tower or because of it, he said it wasn't made quite clear to him what caused them to become different, just thats the models the studio desgined!

While talking with Andy Clark, who did a lot of the writing for Silver Tower, a few interesting bits came up during the conversation

• The idea for the game was presented to him and the rules writer about 12 months ago
• They were shown the models that were produced and a bit of the idea of the game "Its warhammer quest in a Silver Tower of a Gaunt Summoner, here are the heroes and the baddies"
• Andy was really happy to see the price under £100 as until last week, he'd assumed it would be higher
• The design studio made a load of cool minatures for the concept then the game was written around the models.
• The phase "idiot attentions of this wriggling fishbeast" is possibly the greatest thing to ever be put in to a Games Workshop rules book.
• The rules were written by ex-Mantic employee and bear-wizard James Hewitt (not the one that's Prince Harry's real dad)
• Andy Clark asked to write the tie-in novel, again the brief was very open, he was told to tell the tale about some heroes banding together in the Silver Tower
• While the game starts with everyone co-operating to be successful, only one person can either finally defeat the Gaunt Summoner or make a deal with him to escape the Silver Tower
• In Andy's mind, the Silver Towers, while each being a distinct land mark within the Realms, are linked and interconnected sort of like the webway.
• He hasn't been told about any expansions (at least, not that he could tell me about)

I already have so many of them! 79p is what I expected for the heroes, really cool idea. Could I be tempted by the £20 deal? Hmmm maybe
