A copy of the initial Warcry starter set has been purchased and received!
I haven't had a free moment to open the box, and will wait for when I can sit down, relax, and indulge myself for a full exploration of its contents.
I'd been meaning to pick up a copy after missing out on the one I mentioned further back on the thread. I noticed GW started selling a Warcry "starter collection" without miniatures for $149 (doesn't seem to have all the same scenery either). And GW has increased the cost of the full starter set to $280 which really seemed nuts to me. My "local" hobby store was still selling it for $170 which is 39% less than GW's current price, so it seemed like a no brainer to get a copy now before GW discontinues the full starter set with figures (who's going to buy it at $280?).
They are also selling three new scenery sets ...
(A.) The "Defiled Ruins", which is the same new set of scenery in the new "starter collection", and has the same nice looking terrain board.
(B.) The "Shattered Storm Vault", which seems like a ruined temple area which I like a lot, and a seemingly lack luster terrain board to me.
(C.) The "Souldrain Forest" which has six cool looking trees that I like a lot, plus ten rough/ruin pieces, and a decent looking terrain board.
The last of the three is $100, while the other two are at $90. They could be good for so many various fantasy gaming situations beyond Warcry. At some point I might pick the Storm Vault or Forest sets. But I digress.
Also, bought a set of the Splintered Fang warband. These are some cool figures that I just had to have as an alternate warband for the game, plus they might get used as a Greek like inspired warband from one of the Border Princes some day. The latter if I ever get around to that as a priority in the hobby, but who knows.
And I got a bunch of new paints! Cahcoo! It was like Christmas getting these alone.
Artoban ... your copy of the starter set will be on its way to you when I find a box that is suitable for shipping it. Looking again today, and will come up with one eventually.
