Reviewers and stores have their copies of the game now, if there was another Chaos warband in there we’d have seen it by now. The Warcry rulebook doesn’t even have the warband rules in as far as I know, they’re all on the cards with the core rules being in the book.

From the GW site

Yeah, they’ve made mistakes on the website before. People have the book, and showed us the extra 2 Chaos warbands that we didn’t know about. They’d have shown us the 3rd if there was one.

From the description of the Warcry Faction Art Cards:

Each pack contains 8 double-sided A5 cards, each featuring artwork, logos and descriptions for the game’s main warbands.

Would be a tad odd to reveal the existence of the secret two and have a third remain hidden.

The 9th one.will.be sigmarines.

There’s already Stormcast, and they wouldn’t be Chaos.

i think that was intended as a joke given how much Stormcasts get including multiple Underworld warbands.

I came across this article for assembling the terrain in the box set as the instructions don't actually show you how to assemble the terrain to match the cards. There's a few pieces that should not be glued in place that aren't obvious.

The last realm is Sigmar's one, I don't think there will be a chaos warband coming from there.

Why not? Just because he can stop their armies does not mean he can completely stop their influence.

Sure, but I think it's not likely.

Yes, you are correct!

I'm not a fan of stormcasts at the expense of mortal humans. Don't get me wrong, I love the idea of empowered humans who can go too to toe with chaos brutes, but I wish they weren't so obviously Space Marines.

That’s exactly what I say.
We know there is only 7 based on that.

Wasn’t there talk of what it possibly might be a few pages back.
Can’t remember the assumptions for it based on the name now..

The 8th is from the Varanspire.

3 more warbands next week - they aren't hanging around with the releases

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2019/07/28/coming-soon-warbands-enforcers-and-more/

Corvus Cabal
Splintered Fang
Unmade
Shattered Stormvault

You can take prices to be £30 $40 $50 for the Warbands and £55, €70 $90 for the terrain.

Well that’s not good for my wallet.

Because the Sigmarines actively go around murdering anyone who might be tainted, since Order is 'just as bad' as Chaos.

Oh snap, I shouldn't have preordered the Cypher Lords. Quite the explosive realease, I think the fear that this will be Necromunda'd can now be put to rest.

The terrain box looks like its two Shattered Temple sets plus the statue and bridge sprues from the Enduring Stormvault.

It might not be quite 2 shattered temples as it looks like you only get 8 Columns rather than 16 but as only 2 are visible it’s hard to tell but it’s still a better deal than buying 2 temples for the same price

If that terrain set is £55 then I will be very tempted to pick it up!

The Unmade are also the second warband I really want to get hold of and I'm guessing that individual boxes for Untamed Beasts are a fair way off yet.

A solid week of releases and a good second week after Warcry in rounding out the Chaos Warbands for launch.

Might be as few as 4 pillars. After the Mausoleum, don't assume the box contains anything not on the cover pic.

There's 6 on view (just about) in the these images of the Shattered Stormvault which is what makes me think there's 8 in the box

Ah, well spotted. Should be 8 then, yes.

Losing 4 pillars for 2 statues, 2 bridges and the base board compared to two normal boxes isn't an early Kill Zone level deal, but it's not terrible. Will probably pick one up for the gorgeous board, eventhough I can make all the zigguraths I want for free on my foam cutter.

That board is probably the nicest looking one GW has ever produced. I'll also probably be picking this up exactly for the same reason as you, haha.

I'm really happy they are putting out the other three warbands within the month of release, it's a great way to have people, you know, actually play the game. It seems GW learned from the Necro release.

I think my top three warbands are Iron Golems, Corvus Cabal and Splintered Fang.
Possibly in that order..

The others I just like some models, or don’t like certain models which sway their positioning more..

Potentially,

but when they drop the remaining stuff (2 weeks time?) and then have nothing for 3 months I bet we'll see a lot of complaints that they're killing the game, have abandoned it etc

(although the lack of rules conflicts, changes and all around typos is a big plus because even by GW standards Necromunda has been poor for that)

Aye but lets not forget GW can also give it a new lease of life when they get one warband up to AoS level numbers and show off what you can do in AoS with them in a Slaves army. Even without launching the Slaves battletome they can market those warbands as more models for the range.

I honestly think we will see at least one of the other 2 warbands later this year. Then probably another in jan/feb. Plus it seems obvious they would do some cards for kairic acolytes and khorne warriors.

Considering there is a campaign starting up august 10, having all 6 chaos warbands out feels good. Otherwise only 3 warbands and two of them only in the starter is not a good way to jumpstart a game. At least this way there is plenty of variety with people to play with early on.

Going to an expensive few weeks with all the warbands releasing, scenery, Necromunda enforcers, plus with GenCon and who knows what sales that entails... glad I actually planned ahead for once!

Those Crows are really growing on me. Barzam said he's going to get some, but hopefully I'll beat him to the punch and we can have Chaos Science Ninja Teams fighting each other in the near tuture.

For me warbands like the Crows and the Unmade look great as warbands for Warcry visually. Whilst bands like Iron Golems and Untamed look better for bulking up into 30ish man units for an army.

I'm very happy they're releasing my three favourite warbands so quickly. Going to grab the Splintered Fangs first, they're the most stylish clan in my opinion, and their cards look great too.

Played the game last saturday with simplified rules and loved it. It's straightforward but really fun, and it even looks balanced. Of course it's hard to say with one game, but we had to mark points by killing enemy models and we had a draw.
