Warhammer Quest : Silver Tower teaser

[Asymmetrical Xeno]

for instance, plastic Fimir intended for Quest, but usable in AoS. Don't need to be a full army

Yes they DO need to do a full army of Fimir :P

I also hope they release expansions to the game. However, Silver Tower seems really narrow (Tzeentch-flavoured). It seems to be that there are four possibilities for GW to expand the game.

1) Missions / Quests in White Dwarf. This would resemble the extra Space Hulk-content and wouldn't signal any significant commitment from GW's side. In that case, Silver Tower becomes a "fire and forget" game.
2) Extra miniatures. I think the best way for GW to do this, would be to create a cross-over from Age of Sigmar. So that you can use figures from Age of Sigmar in Silver Tower. That would help drive sales of Age of Sigmar as well.
3) New stand alone games. In 2017 GW might release, say, "Warhammer Quest: Barren of the Flesh-Eater". Some of this content could be used with Silver Tower and vice versa. I'm thinking of stuff like treasure cards, heroes, random encounters (if there is a such a thing in the game, I have no idea what the rules look like, I assume it will be a spiritual successor the Warhammer Quest of yore, but be different from it in many respects).
4) You could have true boxed set expansions, like Fantasy Flight releases for Descent. They would include more minis, tiles, quests (a "mini campaign"), etc.

Of these alternatives, I think 1) and 3) are most likely. With a possibility of 2) as well. Alternative 4) is very unlikely, unfortunately. Those are my "gut" feelings.

Yay, first post

[grimmas]

Welcome Vicar in a Tutu I think what you say is very plausible.

AX, yep they do need a Fimir faction for AoS. Using WHQ releases to introduce new factions would be a clever move in my opinion

[Mr Mystery]

I could go for any of the Vicar's suggestions - and importantly, they're not mutually exclusive.

We know from Space Hulk that GW have an appetite for limited run games with extensive components. Release fixed run expansions (time or issue limited) with half a dozen room tiles and some new toys, and you're largely there. None of that is new to Warhammer Quest, either.

I'm incredibly excited about how this might turn out in the future. Provided this box sells well, the sky's the limit for what we could get.

[Asymmetrical Xeno]

I'd hope for 2 and 3. I love their boxed games. I think it is where they have been doing the best the past year. 2 would be good if it was like a series of hero clampacks.

[archimbald]

is it guaranteed to be a ltd run though? Or will it be like B@C where it is still available

[Mr Mystery]

Nobody knows yet. Cost and availability remains to be discovered - though I understand from my local manager that Calth is time limited, and will eventually be replaced with a different take on it.

Shadow Elf looks to be female as well.

I'm seeing none of that. Doesn't anyone speak enough French to at least be sure about the mage, or does French have a grammar that doesn't give such things away?

[Mr Mystery]

It's the chest armour - I've only ever seen that sort of design on female Aelves.
