A nice set, is that finally a new meat tree?

But yea probably going to be silly expensive, especially with all that cardboard padding.

Wait, did I miss the one with the ogre gorgers? That's not out yet, is it?

Couldn't they have waited for one more before they stopped with the vs boxes? I actually want everything here and it would have been cheaper in a vs box.

You know, just a teensy bit conversion work on the tech bits? You could have old Votann ruins.

I'd have said old Slann ruins, personally. But it does look like good 'wall' terrain for double duty.

Ooooo. That was unexpected but a really nice set. Thought I was done getting Warcry terrain, but this is tempting. Would pair great with the RS Engine.

Nice set overall not much verticality to it but it's more of an expansion to existing sets. Ultimately it will be more expensive to get all the individual boxes than a big box but either option will disappoint someone.

It will probably be £67.50 €87.50 like the Gnarlwood Watchcamp

So that's the terrain box coming with the "2 bands boxes" for this next season. I'm okay with it, I was tired of building more of the same trees.

About the verticality, since it's intended to be complementary with the former terrain, it should be fine. People don't remember easily, but first edition of Warcry wasn't that much vertical as well : barely one level with the ruins and only the bell tower had 2.

I guess I will soon be able to build a "village in the meat trees". I just need to gather some ghurish ewoks to complete the picture.

I wish they'd advertise a 2023 warcry compilation book for the end of the year. With profiles to play the new units from AoS, not just boring Underworld warbands.

I don't know about the random miniatures released here and there but for CoS and the new Ironjaws I expect a free pdf with rules for warcry. Like they did for the Kruleboyz.

That or a White Dwarf update I'd suspect

Too techy for my liking. The hollow walls in particular look very "poured concrete" to me.

Nice to see another meat tree.

I am not a Warcry player but I really like the Gnarlwood terrain. GW has surprised me with quite a bit of terrain I like but they certainly do not make it easy to buy.

It's a crashed space ship. I'm not sure if there's any way to avoid it looking techy.

Yeah, I understand that. I don't like crashed spaceships in my fantasy games.

I have really enjoyed the more low fantasy design of the human factions in Warcry to date and would prefer they don't take Warcry down the AOS route, but that seems to be the direction they are headed.

It was down the AoS route long before now, you just didn't have scenery for it.

...warcry is literally set in AoS...?

Quite a few of the warbands are quite low-fantasy in style. I think because they are mostly intended to be "slaves ot darkness marauders" in style. So you get a good number of them where there's no mages, wizards, leaders or anything. They are the grunt bottom battle troops of a mega-army. Even if most warbands represent specific cultural groups and show a lot of diversity.

A lot of the terrain has also been fairly similar - blasted out wasteland and tribe stuff. Again because that's what a lot of the Chaos focus for the set was.


It's evolved and even then there were some insane ones - eg the Unmade were fairly early on and are insane torture characters.

That said its always been part of AoS and its always had the same epic magic setting in the story even if the models would work for low magic settings. Esp when you've groups like the Untamed Beasts, Spire Tyrants and Darkoath Savagers who could all be right out of something like Hyboria - ergo Conan and thus pretty low magic fantasy.

Don't even play the early Ultima games then

not like crashed space ships are part of the Fantasy setting since early on

but one big part of the setting always was that you could ignore those things and stay as low fantasy as you liked

The entire season has been about fightning over a crashed spaceship.

Sure, just pretend its the ruins of a lizardmen temple city deep in the heart of lustria. Basically the same difference. The "spaceship" is an overgrown stone-like mesoamerican ziggurat/pyramid complex with stylized dinosaur detailing and magical floaty bits. All the "technology" is not visually technological in nature and can be assumed to function thanks to old one/slann magic, etc.

Good enough for Lustria, good enough for the Mortal Realms.

All the Warcry stuff in 1 go next week (2 week preorder window like SM)

Well that's surprising. I thought it was two weeks of marine junk?

A surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one.

First time seeing the Gorgers next to human models I think.Look to be a great size. I'd really love to have several sets.

Now to wait for the unnamed hero, probably DaveC, to post prices

The cardless Underworlds gangs are direct only, right?

Everything in one week, I'll take that. I'm just hoping they have enough stock this time.

It should help for gathering more players for this excellent game at my local club.

Maybe two weeks is their new default pre-order window?

Doesn't look that way. The marines are on a two week window, but todays previews appear to be on the typical one week schedule (if they are on two week, theres no mention of it).

Just under the video

Just like the Space Marines, everything below will be available to pre-order for two weeks. Speaking of which, the Angels of Death are available to pre-order right now.

Apparently the 2 weeks will continue for awhile while they sort their logistics out.

A sensible move, the weeks are also releasing a lot more content than normal as well. Perhaps for GW (esp with overseas shipping to consider) its easier for them to do 2 weeks knowing most people will order in the first week. So they can ramp up production and potentially cover more of the shortfall even if the total amount of product is greater.

I read through the entire article twice, and didn't see it lol.

Thats interesting. I guess that hypothetically pushes back any chance of us seeing Legiones Imperialis or the HH Mk3 box before the end of october.

But those are both coming sooner than we think, so we must be thinking xmas or something.
