I really hope that Garden of Morr upgrade sprue can be obtained outside the starter, I have both warbands already.

Indeed. Want that Neferata statue.

Yay!

At the very least most of the contents will be used for Frostgrave, although I'm looking forward to giving Warcry itself a go as you lot say its pretty good.

A little light on terrain, but not really a bad starter set if they can put this out at the roughly 60 USD price point. It would be a great entry point for new players.

Meh, not this Stormcast team, should be Sons of Velmorn instead, which just sold out.

Why would they go with the Sons of Velmorn, when the Gnarlwood box is still available and hasn't seen a "Rivals of..." set release yet?

I wonder how cheap that will be. Do we think they can squeeze that in at £50?

Gnarlwood has sold out in some regions, The Rival box for that Stormcast team is the one that is still available. There're so many OOP old warbands from previous WU that could be there instead.

Probably closer to the £65 of KillTeam starter set - but Dungeon Bowl is £55 so who knows.

I wonder why they didn't show this at the weekend - it's not like they were short of time or had too much content.

The kill team starter has a lot more in it. In this we dont have 2 full warbands of 8-10 models. We have 4 against 4 and just 5 small pieces of terrain.
For me this should have the same price of Underworlds starter... maybe a little more because of the terrain.
But definitely not the same price price as Kill team starter

Well £55 would be nice...

I would buy that box, but I guess Vampires vs. Wights isn't exactly a starter box to play the game with someone else but more an expansion for Soulblight in Warcry and AoS.

I am hoping that they offer rules for other Warbands in the future (or in this rule book). It’s not quite the same but the Bladeborn box had rules for an extra 4 warbands on top of the included 2.

Would be nice if they had the last couple seasons of Underworlds bands in there.

Come to think of it, it would be especially nice if they had the rules for the current Warhammer Underworlds Starter set in there. That way a new player could grab that box, have a new game, and enough stormcast and undead to fill out the two warbands.

They had rules cards for Xandire's Truthseekers in Warcry in a white dwarf a while back, plus the other WU warbands from that release..

Wonder if these will be different.. been out of the loop for a couple years.

Starter set, Questor Soulsworn and Royal Beastflayers next week

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2023/07/23/sunday-preview-wade-into-warcry-with-starter-sets-and-warbands/

Already have both warbands but if the price is okay I'll pick it up for the terrain.

All i want is the terrain as well. Hm, must be around £45, can't see it pushing higher.

Hurray!

The wallet rests this week

Yes, fortunately. Unfortunately the Cerastus Knight Lancer may be out the following week so my wallet won't get more than a quick nap.

I'm just dreading the sudden out-of-nowhere "And here's the new Kill-Team box with great crashed ship-in-a-jungle terrain!" release that'll pop out of no where and be gone in 6 seconds...

Starter set is £65, €85 ($99/$100 based on current prices)
Warbands £35, €45

Same price as the Killteam starter but with less content.

Jeeez. I was expecting £45, maybe 50.

As DaveC mentioned, the KT starter is £65 and has 22 proper multipart models and like twice the scenery.

Big oof for two reprinted Underworlds gangs and one new sprue of terrain. And this is their ultra budget entry level box that's only very technically enough to play but isn't even near a full game.

£52 after a 20% 3rd party retailer discount. Big yikes. Swing and a miss for me :(

Thank you, DaveC for letting us know.

Hard pass. For that price one can buy the AoS Warrior set for £32.50 and use the free pdfs. Just as much content, as tokens and scenery are easily whipped up from cheap and recyclable materials.

I'm at WHW for a game in a week or so, was going to grab this as a little extra thinking it'd be £40ish, but hard pass now.

I guess because of the price of Underworlds warbands (when they sell them without cards etc) already set this at a certain price before you added terrain and board book etc.

As opposed to the £37.50-£40 Kill Team teams you mean?

Lol, what are they smoking? That price is insane even for GW.
