Today's Warband Focus does give us an idea of what non-Chaos models/kits can be used in Warcry. The top picture shows the Untamed Beast facing off against Vanguard-Hunters, while the previews for the First Fang and the Harpoon Snag ability mention Orruk Brutes and Khinerai Heartrenders respectively.

And leaked pages from the book showed Namarti Thralls and Reavers alongside of Akhelian Knights for Idoneth--so the "leak" seems legit.

The list already got leaked for a while, and seem to be correct.

I think it is only partially correct. I actually consider it being weird that there was only boxes mentioned but actually no heroes available to take (expect for sole necromance).

I wouldn't expect any heroes showing up (yet) but unit champions being selected as Leaders, makes perfect sense for a skirmish game with just over half a dozen minis a side.

The point is that GW is not pitching Warcry as Kill Team, to the point where they've barely said anything (officially) about what non-Warcry models you can take in it.

Technically, they used an analogy of Warcry is to AoS what Kill Team is to 40k, which if your SAT score is fine, is not the same thing as saying Warcry is Kill Team. The big thing is that Warcry is a skirmish game with kill zone-like terrain expansions that will be heavily supported (in the near future at least, KT's support has kind of dried up over time) - not necessarily that it allows you to use all your AoS models in a smaller version of AoS. AoS already has skirmish, so that function of Kill Team is unnecessary.

It's also interesting that Kill Team has basically no Open Play stuff, while Warcry has several major Open Play systems, and arguably the Open War-like Battleplan decks are a core component of its design. AoS' design team has a very different focus than 40ks, which is another way in which Warcry will probably end up diverging heavily from KT. I'm actually surprised they included strength and toughness, but in a way, they made it even simpler than AoS already was.

Not as heroes exactly but rather as specialist for any given warband. Gobbapalooza for example could easily give Gitz good amount of support to give those lowly grots fighting chance against… anything.

Find it very odd that the leader of the FAST faction is saddled with a speed of 4.

The ranged attack helps, and the cats are nasty, but juggling things to keep cats near beastmasters for bonus attacks is going to involve some effort.

Yes. So do we both agree on "You have 9 different, preset fighter profiles. Your only customization is in picking how many of each you field." which is what I originally said?

Well, the campaign does allow you to pick up artifacts of power as you play.

It’s weird—I was stoked for this when first announced. Unfortunately most of the miniatures are of a chaos style that I just don’t love. The terrain is of a style that I can (and do) easily duplicate with my 3d printer (obviously with a slight quality loss).

No rules for Seraphon and the only Stormcast are the Vanguard that I find pretty unappealing and don’t own. I would even justify buying Kharadron for this as I LOVE the models but they’re so damn limited in AoS I can’t justify buying any.

It’s a real shame because I know my wife would play this (she liked kill team) but there’s just nothing there for the armies we have.

Well, none of that is Warcry's fault. I mean, should they design the game around the fact that you have a 3D printer? Or that you don't like Stormcast Vanguard? They aren't making a game with the audience of just you. I mean, I sort of go back and forth on how excited I am for this game too, but I think it is silly to blame Warcry for being Warcry and not something else. It's kind of like saying Warhammer Underworlds would be great, but you'd like the game better if they replaced all the miniatures with cakepops.

It’s really strange that it’s so heavily skewed to chaos when they’re pitching it as Kill Team for AoS.

The recent video is the first time they've even mentioned Kill Team. For the last few months, it was always pitched as chaos warbands fighting against each other. They still haven't even technically announced which non-Warcry models you can use (that was from a leak).

What a strangely hostile response to me saying why I lost interest and why they lost a potential sale. *shrug*

Just for an example: having only the vanguard for stormcast is akin to having only Reivers available to space marines in kill team. It’s just really strange, fluff notwithstanding. Plus I’m pretty confident the leaks are legit.

If they don’t want it compared to kill team, then they shouldn’t have compared it to kill team, maybe? I think I’ll let GW speak for themselves, thanks.

Not sure if this was answered before: the additional battleplan cards are only sold separately or are they identical to the ones in the starter set?

So far we only saw the First Fang, who has a different rune than the one for the beastmaster, so lets hope the he can at least move 5-6.

Looks great

Apparently they are the same ones in the box just sold separately for those that don't buy the box.

New Warcry page, https://ageofsigmar.com/warcry/ with a how to play video with Becca Scott.

It begins, the great cringe of our lifetime https://ageofsigmar.com/warcry/

I'll be buying this for the models so if anyone wants the cards, boards etc pm me.

They would have to do a Shattered Stormvault terrain set just after releasing the original kits. I'd like the mat but can't justify getting more of this terrian.

The Ruined City picture shows Azyrite Ruins but the text suggests it's a separate release for the box set terrain.

Included in the Warcry Core Set, the Ruined City is a maze of shattered masonry and rickety wooden walkways. Warbands skulk amid makeshift alleys, or scramble alongside hastily assembled platforms to make deadly strikes from above. To secure victory here, you’ll need to be cunning, luring your enemy into crucial chokepoints and taking advantage of line-of-sight-blocking obstacles.

That's the final part needed to get the starter set parts separately so it might well be a limited run.

Bummed there's no Sylvaneth for my wife to put her favorite stuff in! She has Stormcast as well, but...no Sylvaneth. I've got the Chaos portion covered myself.

The website confirms the leak was real. No Stormcasts except Vanguard. I think there is a real missed opportunity here to make the Warhammer Underworlds warbands into 1000 pt Warcry warbands.

Edit: Also confirms a third Ravaged Land, Shattered Stormvault using Dominion of Sigmar terrain. And it seems Corvus Cabal will be the next warband released.

Its a great move my GW to let Becca explain new stuff.
Better than letting JJ tell.

"Attractive redhead enthusiastically explains new game. Nerds complain about it. More at 11"

Watched the video.

Seems pretty cool. Not a this month purchase though, but one for the fyootcha.

Quick preview of main member in each band.

Corvus Cabal coming up next after launch it seem.

Rather fittingly, it seems like the Daughters of Khaine and the Gloomspite Gitz are able to field the widest selection of fighters in the non-Chaos warbands...

The Becca Scott videos are useful, but definitely a bit cringe (what paid spokesperson things aren't?).

Website is up which reveals an upcoming Ravaged land set and confirms that the leaked list for existing army units was correct.

https://ageofsigmar.com/warcry/



SHATTERED STORMVAULT
The Shattered Stormvault lets you fight amid the ruins of one of Sigmar’s arcane prisons, designed to secure the most dangerous treasures in the realms. Now, it forms a brutal battleground. Scale massive stepped temples and dodge around ruined statuary as your Warband attempts to attain subterranean supremacy.

This Ravaged Lands set contains several sprues of Dominion of Sigmar scenery, allowing you to build all sorts of unusual layouts to battle over. Combined with the included Terrain Cards, it’ll be sure to add all sorts of new tactical challenges to your game, with loads of line-of-sight blockers to hide behind and high ground to seize.

The Ruined City as shown isn't actually the terrain from the box, it's the Azyrite Townscape. I wonder if that will be repackaged? Nice to be able to get the statues from the Sigmar stuff without buying the giant package.

As mentioned before.
They wouldn’t play very well probably as they are so small.

And all they are is better posed versions of (some of) the stuff that’s already in a Warcry list.
So some of them can probably be mixed in with a kit of AoS and will fill out a warband.

Goblins have hoppers, squigs and Gobbos right?
So buy a box of Hoppers, then use Underworlds warband with them which had some goblins and squigs in.
Warcry warband done.

Or the giant package gets repackaged and discount sold for a time. Either way I'd love that set!

I hope the cardboard tile's picture is not inclined like Kill Teams tiles and that two of the same can be put together without the slabs being off. I would be interested to buy two boxes to make a bigger terrain for Meeting Encounters battles. I actually like the terrain looking on that picture.
