I just hope the game is actually reasonably balanced (and continues to be). Not like 2 months later, 90% of people playing 1 warband. Also dear god I hope the OP isn't correct that warbands 7 and 8 are Khorne and Sigmar again. There's so freaking much they could do instead! Treemen! Elves! Lizardmen! Ghouls! Ghosts! 4 Chaos Demons! bonds0097 posted:They are definitely doing Khorne and Sigmar again. Blood Warriors and Vanguard or whatever the sigmar crossbow dudes are called. I think Skaven and Naked Dorfs come after that.

The factions are actual units in AoS, and there are people who would be happy to take them off your hands. Would you just sell them on ebay in that case? I might try that with the skellys and orcs to get the duplicate cards for 2 people

I'm sure they'll expand at some point, but the rulebook that comes with shadespire details all the warbands that are coming out in the initial wave. we're getting a warband of Stormcast Vanguard-Hunters and one of Blood Warriors at some point.

Honestly given my budget and some hiccups with mtg in my area i'll probably pick this up for a local tournament. I looked through the upcoming warbands and honestly I feel like a weirdo for being the most hyped about the other Khorne guys. 8ft tall armored blender is more my style of Khorne rather than the naked screamy men.

At the first big event. They are doing an announcement at 8pm, which I am guessing will be the next two warbands.

Skaven preview video on GW Site - https://www.warhammer-community.com/2017/11/03/news-codexes-heroes-blood-glorygw-homepage-post-3/ Looks to be mainly Stormvermin to me as they all have breastplates?

One of the kids that comes down here is 7 and manages to play it, a bit with minor help from his Dad to remember when to use certain cards. He's also the luckiest little git I know. I've never seen such lucky dice rolling ever. Zark the Damned posted:Skaven preview video on GW Site - https://www.warhammer-community.com/2017/11/03/news-codexes-heroes-blood-glorygw-homepage-post-3/ They're all Clanrats. Really dig the leader's sculpt, he'll make a great Warlord. Kinda surprised they're not as numerous as the Skeles.

Two of them look Eshin style. One using Eshin claw blades and one using a reverse gripped dagger with another dagger in tail.

A not insignificant amount of beer was drunk at the tournament. But yes, it is a good casual and quick game. You can polish your deck like your finest hanzo steel if you like, but you don't have to.

The expansions have some extremely powerful generic cards. They seem like must buys if you are making a competitive deck, particularly the orc one.

Serotonin posted:Yeah having finally got round to looking at the cards I'd agree. There's some great ones in there, especially the neutrals. Deck building is going to be fun. In particular I feel like Highway Robbery is an auto-include in every deck.  When it goes off it's a 2 point swing and you've denied them a potential upgrade and got one for yourself, and playing it requires no setup or anything from you.

Picked up my core box and expansions today. Enjoyed building the minis except for the skeletons. They are lovely sculpts to be sure but are just so delicate that sometimes the only way to properly push the pieces together requires an amount of force that threatens to bend or break limbs really easily. Looking forward to playing some games tomorrow, haven’t decided which faction I’ll try first.

I enjoyed the Grand Clash tourney. Lots of solid guys there, played 8 games, won 5, came 26th. Got the participation alt art cards, giving them away as a subscriber raffle on my youtube channel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=we_pVYQTj0M

Yeah, nothing wrong with creating incentives for people to buy your stuff. And if you're playing casually you don't need anything aside from the core and warband you're actually interested in. The sculpts are so cool, I just want them all and have them in a cool display once painted.

Daylight Robbery isn't a must include, but is nice to have in a gently caress you deck (like mine for Bloodbound, where there is the strip inspire and you can't get it back card as well). The base game set is quite competitive and made up most of my deck, and ditto for the Stormcast players I faced. At serious uber competitive level people will want every faction for the cards and factions, but compared to X wing and Magic the cost is much lower.
