It's still not in print so I don't think there are any published game reports.

I've preordered anyhow, it should scratch the Mordheim itch.

Those early reviews are pretty glowing. It's clearly targeted as a Mordheim replacement but sounds a little more robust.

I wonder if osprey would consider a mass battle system next?

I have so much GW fantasy terrain that I'm actually really looking forward to getting it all built and on the table. I never bothered before since moving blocks of infantry through a city was kind of lovely.

Once this bad boy shows up, it should be a pretty kickass table.

This is a thing of beauty.

I kickstarted it when my group got into Mordheim but it should also be great for Warmachine and Frostgrave :)

Anyone know if Frostgrave will support guns? Or is it all bows? If you can use guns it'll open up a huge amount of minis for use.

Just proxy. Call your guns crossbows and use those stats. This ain't GW son.

Well with this mindset there's nothing stopping me from using my Deadzone minis

In most games crossbows and early powder firearms are similar in rules, not sure about fusion rifles.

I would be willing to bet that if you took 40k figs, used 40k terrain and just wrote an set of model/equipment equivalences this would make a kick rear end replacement for Kill Team and/or Inquisitor.

Spells become psychic powers, wizards become Inquisitors or rogue/xenos psykers, warbands become Inquistorial Henchman or Cutlists.

Done.

Pre-ordered, can't wait to play this. I'll have to evangelize to my people.

Just sell it as d20 Mordheim without crazy henchman advancement rules that uses models you already have. It sells itself.

Do you also have some of Germ's broken stone wall scatter terrain? Seems like it would compliment that Dragons don't share set well.

Yeah I've got to get some scatter terrain for this. Any link to his site around? Any goon coupon codes or anything?

You are a God amongst men. I shall place an order tomorrow.

Can we spread this around to the other TG threads?

I desperately need to know how much base size matters.

I'd say size doesn't matter, but that's just me being polite.

Do we know anything about character progression in this game? Two-wielding strikes me as an obvious upgrade for more experienced models down the line.

Also, who is the existing guy who can dual-wield? I don't see it on the list of soldiers.

Henchman advancement was one of the things that sort of broke Mordheim since it was so boom or bust. I'm not that sad to see it go frankly.

Got my book, and then my local game store decided to sell off some of their old wargaming terrain. Picked up a ton of broken walls for next to nothing. And they had a bunch of Age of Sigmar boxes sitting on their "please buy this, we can't way to be rid of it" table.

I got my hands on some Rackham model that I'm going to use for a wizard/apprentice set. I'm just not quite sure what kind of wizard they kinda look like.



Looks like a Sigilist to me.

My book showed up today and yeah the quality is very high for the price. I'm eager to see the expansion campaign now.

My group has at least eight players jumping in. A few of us bought these kits to build our warbands suplemented by a few models for the Wizard and Apprentice.

My Chronomancer:



And Apprentice:

I like the tower with a flashing green light that sends out an unknown message to an unknown listener.

Yeah the scenarios include a fair bit of terrain requirements, like in the silent tower and the living museum.

There are only a handful of troop types, how hard is it to figure out what is what? Are you expected to buy a new model if you get a suit or armour in a treasure stash? If you give your apprentice a bow?

Gonna have to see if I can get one for not-absure prices in the UK...
