@StealthKnightSteg,

Maybe, hard to imagine they won't include some mortal goodies that dwell in the city before the big release. The way they encourage the use of the new Tzeentch stuff for it and a "narrative" focus makes me think this will be more Mordheim-ish in nature as more forces are wrapped up in the conflict than the previous solitary hero group.

Nice to see Hammerhal involved in this, it was kind of a red herring after the summer campaign. You can't have a two realm spanning city and leave it out of the action.

@Artoban's Ghost, Indeed, really looking forward to the next books that further flesh-out the setting.

If the box art for the Warhammer Quest: Shadows over Hammerhal is anything to go by, there doesn't appear to be any new miniatures, just existing stuff thrown together. Well, at least for the heroes. Whether there are new adversaries, we have yet to see, but I kind of think we'll have existing minis for those as well

This was my thought as well.

Just noticed on the games-workshop site that all daemons of Tzeentch are "no longer available". I realize that GW just announced the release of a lot of mortal Tzeentch minis, but daemons appear to be gone. Are they planning on releasing new ones at a later date or something?

Oxycutor · « **Reply #579 on:** January 27, 2017, 11:33:40 AM »

They're all getting re-packaged and back on pre-order this weekend, along with a Start Collecting Tzeentch Daemons. Plus the new Lord Of Change, and the new Blue and Brimstone Horrors

Baron von Klatz · « **Reply #580 on:** January 27, 2017, 12:10:55 PM »

I'm wondering what happened to Araloth/Nomad Prince. Was his sell rate so low that they didn't see it as a bother? (Can't say I'd be surprised, his popularity was always bad)

Anyway, here's some goodies.

Sounds like GW is actually listening and responding to feedback out there. Looking forward to the new book but I have a feeling I'll be more involved with the narrative play and less points based at this stage. I just want to use all the stuff I like. On another note the guys at BoltersandChainsword really are discussing the AoSing of 40k with an open mind. I thought there would be widespread resistence but they seem to be embracing the change. Mind you I havnt played the last system at all although I have all the books but it does seem to need streamlining.

Victor · « **Reply #587 on:** February 08, 2017, 12:31:04 PM »

I hope they are done with the Stormcast Eternals soon ... how many variations of the same thing can they produce/sell?

This reminds me of the Simpsons Episode with Malibu Stacy:

I'm not gonna lie, those fur cape-wearing Stormcasts are pretty sweet...

They are aren't they? Stormcast madness spreads!

Baron von Klatz · « **Reply #592 on:** February 18, 2017, 11:45:30 AM »

I'm really loving the new Stormcasts, they're every DnD ranger trope wrapped up into an baroque armored package.

Happy with the new battletome as well, gives the Stormcast some needed nerfs while also giving them alot more flavor as the chambers are given specific abilities.

There's also new maps!

Besides that, there's also the return of Slambo. Apparently a big meme with the TT community and was the model from 2nd edition which chaos warriors designs were heavily based off of.

Ladies and Gentlemen.

Description
Receive a Warhammer Quest Shadows Over Hammerhal Games Master's screen (English language only) free with every purchased Warhammer Quest Shadows Over Hammerhal, while stocks last. Click here to find out more.

Hammerhal. Built in the glorious image of Azyrheim, the seat of the God-King Sigmar’s power. Within its walls can be found danger and beauty, faith and intrigue, poverty and fortune. From the gleaming crystal spires of Goldenpath to the mist-shrouded vineways of Ghyra-un-Tyr, there is seemingly no end to its marvels. Yet most who witness this splendour know little of the danger and menace that fill the outer districts of the city, and that which lurks below…

A band of heroes has been brought together by circumstance, and are bound to hunt down and nullify a sinister Chaos plot in the dungeons and catacombs below Hammerhal. Lord-Castellant Arvios Sunhelm, his Gryph-hound Archimaine and Cogsmith Golnir Coalbeard are joined by Loremaster Alnaryn and Fleetmaster Vizrin Kyre, as they quest to uncover the Chaos Sorcerer Lord Redomir and put a halt to the vile corruption of the First City of Order.

Warhammer Quest Shadows Over Hammerhal is a boxed game for 2-5 players, set in – and below – the splendid city of Order, Hammerhal. Up to 4 players can quest in the catacombs and dungeons below the city, while another acts as gamemaster, setting fiendish obstacles, controlling the antagonists and setting the story – it’s up to this player to take charge of revealing the secrets each dungeon has to offer.

After each adventure, the heroes can spend time in the Cinderfall district of the city, visiting shops, resting and taking part in the various shadowy delights Hammerhal has to offer!Your characters level up and increase their skills as you play, and Warhammer Quest Shadows Over Hammerhal is completely compatible with the Warhammer Quest: Silver Tower Hero Cards – any miniatures or rules you already own for that game can be used here.

Speaking of miniatures, Warhammer Quest Shadows Over Hammerhal includes an impressive 31:

- a Lord-Castellant;
- a Gryph-hound;
- a Cogsmith;
- a Black Ark Fleetmaster;
- a Loremaster;
- a Chaos Sorcerer Lord;
- 5 Putrid Blightkings;
- 10 Kairic Acolytes;
- 10 Bloodreavers.

As well as this, the box includes a 72-page guidebook, a 32-page adventure book for the gamemaster to use, 18 double-sided board sections, 55 cards, 12 dice and a variety of counters and markers for tracking your heroes as they gain experience and skills under the city of Hammerhal.

Baron Von Klatz is back ! Don't think we didn't notice your absence😺
Nice updates for sure. That necromancer of Bottle's is pretty cool. The game sounds great. Doubt if I'll ever find that many players but the minis might be worth it too.

Baron von Klatz · « **Reply #595 on:** February 19, 2017, 02:30:46 AM »

Haha yeah, didn't mean to take that long an absence but I'm in California where God answered those "pray for rain" rallies with a vengeance.

Gonna be off until Tuesday also, the high winds took out my Wi-Fi and it won't be fixed till then. (Can't afford to pay the data usage rates right now either.)

So see you lads and good fortune to you!

The Lord Aquilor model is beautiful. His warscroll isn't too shabby either. The command trait can be quite useful and the Winds of Aetheric can solve a few movement issues. This new group of cavalry, hunters and hounds are awesome. I want, I want!!gonna rob me a bank soon if I have too 😺💰

I'm sorry to see the Knight Vexillor and Knight Azyros get nerfed. They already were with the points value for the Vexillor anyway. It looks like it might mean a lot more footslogging, which is not good for such a slow army

On TGA we are already working out lots of ideas with Beta striking or other movement perks. Maybe we don't have full army alpha striking anymore, we can do it with smaller sections and with a little detour.
