Just had a look at the Tome of Champions while there is only one entry for Disciples of Tzeentch there is an Arcanites entry and a Daemons entry on the name tables. Blades of Khorne and Maggotkin of Nurgle have the same but Slaanesh is only listed as Hedonites probably because they have no mortals at present so 2 card packs each (1 Mortals 1 Daemons) for Khorne and Nurgle isn't out of the question.

Also really hoping Ogors are another warband that can be built from a single box.

Slaanesh has mortals, its just only cavalry models. So basically not as good to build a Warcry party out of.

Well Hellstriders being fused with their steed of Slaanesh
(they can't leave once they mount it) I guess they are not
technically "mortals" but I disgress...

It would be nice to have even a few Slaanesh dedicated mortals
through a Warcry warband this year for sure...

Did anyone else notice that in the nighthaunt warband there are tomb banshees and the gloomspite gitz have snufflers. If i’m not mistaken, they were not in the original card packs and i haven’t seen rules for them elseware. I’m wondering if the other original warbands will get extra units to add too, although the vanguard stormcasts dont sem to have anything new.

Honestly, forcing people to buy a bunch of models they may already have just to get the card for it (presumably, up to a year before it is republished in Tome of Champions 2020), isn't a great move. It'll be scanned and posted within hours of release, so I don't know why GW is making it exclusive - except to piss off the people who like to have the cards. Taken to the extreme (Necromunda), a lack of card availability could be a serious detriment to the long term health and enjoyment of the game.

I had hoped that after the Kill Team Annual reprinted most of the exclusive missions and tactics, and Tome of Champions reprinted all the unit cards, that GW would have moved past this compulsion to break their games up into lots of little pieces and make it impossible for anyone to acquire them all - but I guess they've just decided that they need something for these annual books, so they might as well exploit you in between.

Gloomspite git should have Stabba, the absolute backbone of the team... They aren't even expensive kit, just throw in a single sprue... geez

And hoppers/bounders are 200+ per model. There are well over 2,000 pts in the release.

You mean the thing that was explicitly called out in the article?

Apparently I was blinded by the shiny new pictures and missed that section of the article — stupid words.

Am very interested to see the prices of those predetermined warbands, I assume they will all be the same RRP but they have quite different individual retail prices. The Ogroid pricing should also be an indicator of the two other, and bigger, beasties to come.

The spire tyrants grow on me every time I see them- the last sculpt of the guy with a shield and thrusting sword is awesome, and I'd get a set just for him, lol.

Of course, I really want to see what the scions of the flame look like..

Nice to see the Spire Tyrants will be available soon. I'm not so keen on most sculpts but there are a couple of really cool ones in the kit for which I want to get a box.

The dwarf and the Beastman.
A few of the others are ok, but those two I really like

I quite like all of them except the guy with the big axe and the leader, who are posed very awkwardly (and have stupid faces, in the leaders case). The rest have grown on me a fair bit since we first saw them.

It's a pity we dont live nearer each other, as those are the two Im not very interested in. (Not because they aren't good mind, but I'm focused on a human force)

Prices euro confirmed others based on GW exchange rates

Spire Tyrants €40 £30 $50
Nighthaunt €40 £30 $50
Gloomspite Gits €40 £30 $50
SCE €40 £30 $50

Ogroid Myrmidon €32.50 £25 $40

Souldrain Forest €80 £60 $100

Card packs €8 £6 $10 each except SCE €9 £7 $12

So terrain and cards go up in price SCE must have a lot of cards to cost even more

Spire tyrant is meh, no dual axe fighters, and either the leader or the big axe guy could've been a female, the 2 female one they have look bored, like sculptor just made them to meet the quota.

The guy with the shield on his right arm has an alt arm with an axe, I think.

They are fine the way they are. Still waiting on the Dark Oath War King though.

Hmm Ossiarchs don't get much options but it's a 1 box warband where as Ogors probably need 2 (Ironguts and Leadbelchers)

To be fair Ossiarchs only have one infantry model, though I'm surprised a stalker didn't make it into the list! Then again whilst Stalkers aren't huge, they are pretty big by Warcry standards.

The rest of ossiarchs are leaders (who we have tended to see appear as army mercenaries with higher costs) and cavalry (which by and large warcry has avoided).

Of course with the price of Mortek Guard sets that makes Ossiarchs REALLY affordable for Warcry. One box and you are totally done with a diverse and varied force - esp if they are as tough as they are in the regular game and thus come with a high point cost in warcry as well.

I am surprised there isn’t a Stalker as there is one centre stage in the card pack art.

Gnoblar confirmed. I need that card pack.

Are Stalkers any larger than the biggest Crypt Horror? That one's pretty tall, too.

Wow, the Ogre card looks fantastic. 8 different statlines is a lot more than I expected.

I'd seen comments that these "leaked" stat cards were just photoshops made by a fan that had been round a while on reddit for their own use? Not saying this is the case, just passing it along.

Very possible alright it popped up on Twitter for me so take with some for now. We've seen the Ogors somewhat confirmed from yesterdays AoS Facebook page image - although now that I look at it the Facebook preview had human skin tones these have the older grey skin tone so are more likely to be home made.

Yep. Looks like the Ossiarch card is fan made and at least a month old...

Yeah, AoS hasn't posted one yet that I've seen on the Facebooks.
