Looks like the Knight-Questor is a tank. Handy taunt ability there. Especially if you use it to get enemies into perfect position for the Weaver to hit them with the area effect ability (assuming it's something suitably offensive).

Looks like they've redesigned the character profiles to resemble those of AoS rather than use the older WFB like rules. I'd suspect the other rules will be AoSified as well. Only sensible given that it's possibly going to be a gateway game for some.

[Mr Mystery]

Indeed.

I just really really hope they do an additional role play volume. As covered, towns and travel were deadlier than any dungeon.

Well there's definitely two books there.

I don't know however and this is just a feeling not a rumour but it's feeling like this will be a stand alone quest like the expansion we got for the previous games and we'll see the release of a more genral WHQ later on. I'd rather it was as you suggest though.

[Mr Mystery]

I've had a damned good squizz at the pics with my Aelf eyes (which I keep in a jar when not required. But not next to the pickled onions. Believe me, that's a mistake you only make once!) and it mentions just the two books, both 40 pages - so seemingly no Roleplay book at the mo.

[grimmas]

Maybe they've squeezed a lot into a small space, it's been a bit of an AoS theme 🙂

[Mr Mystery]

True, true. But there's an awful lot to fit in as is!

[Mr Mystery]

The more I think of it, especially in light of the App, the more I'm convinced a Beasty Book and Roleplay Book are all but inevitable.

It adds near infinite variety to the game. And over time, someone fond of setting up dungeons can easily spend more on various denizens than someone who puts together a couple of armies - because dungeon design is bloody addictive! Roleplay element keeps players playing. PCs need dungeons, and dungeons need variety, especially when they start creeping up the levels, as wading through hordes of Gobbos becomes a doddle, so that necessitates a selection of biggerer nasties (Trolls, Ogres, Minotaurs etc), which is another set sold.

All it takes is a book of beasties (or books, or individually available scrolls. Any of the above!) and a Roleplay volume to turn a boxed game into a near addiction. GW know this. They did it before with Warhammer Quest, so I'm damned near convinced they'll do it this time.

Good to see closeups of the heroes, they all look really good too imo.
