WestRider Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 March 12th, 8:00pm PDT / March 13th 3:00am GMT Get ready for your first proper look at an incredible new game that’ll take you to the heart of darkness itself… This is Warcry – a new skirmish game from the makers of Kill Team and Warhammer Underworlds that allows you to experience the visceral carnage of battle in the Mortal Realms in a whole new way. This is more than just a skirmish version of Warhammer Age of Sigmar – it’s hyper-kinetic, it’s tactical and it’s very, very bloody, featuring bold new game mechanics. Warcry is perfect for narrative players looking to forge character-driven campaigns where warbands grow and develop through their own journey. Meanwhile, gamers looking for a close-matched, fast and exciting experience will find a game that fits both their coffee table and coffee break. In the game, you’ll follow the myriad tribes of Chaos – reavers and despoilers from every corner of the realms – as they make their dark pilgrimage to the Varanspire. Warcry explores a never-before-seen side of life (and death!) in the Age of Sigmar. Every model for this game is brand new, reflecting on the dizzying diversity of Chaos on a scale never attempted before and rooted in rich lore that realises the servants of the Dark Gods as deep and varied cultures. We’ll have more Warcry news for you (and some closer looks at those stunning models!) in the coming weeks – make sure to subscribe to our email newsletter and follow our Facebook page to make sure you don’t miss any announcements. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted March 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 Some very impressive Models there in the video! I have a mighty need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrewgeddon Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 I know there isn't a ton of info out on this now, but seems to be a mash-up of Necromunda and the old Path to Glory system than AoS Kill Teams, since it's focusing just on Chaos warbands, and does not incorporate existing models (at least for now). Was initially a bit bummed out, as I kinda wanted Kill Teams, but AoS, but after mulling things over and talking with a buddy, I'm excited to see where this goes! Having unique "gangs" ala Necromunda of chaos guys and gals could be really cool! We'll have to see how the models turn out 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally think it looks cool but I worry about how well it will take off locally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted March 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 Yeah, there are things I would have done differently if I were in charge of the design, but I'm really interested to see what it ends up actually being. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Threejacks Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 I dont see any reason to think it will be anything but a warband based skirmish game.Likely more detail in character/unit developement as well as additional gameplay mechanics.The box says "Skirmish" so this will likely take the lead over the current version of skirmish. I would expect warscrolls for AoS play with all new models,,mainly since virtually every model released in games related to AoS have warscrolls and points for use in the main game as well. I also highly doubt the game will remain Chaos focused,the game wont survive otherwise.On that note,starting the game out with what appears to be mortal Khorne/Chaos units seems a great way to keep the first rules set tight with having a focus on melee only(like they did with Shadespire) and of course magic mechanics will be minimal or non existant to start with as well.Im sure it wont be long until we see the other GA`s recieve their expansions along with those Magic and Ranged rules and likely other game mechanics as well.

Brother Glacius Posted March 18, 2019 Report Share Posted March 18, 2019 How many fantasy games are there now from GW? Seems to me like they have just flooded the market. And considering the cost of investing in them, I just pass on most now. I don't really get GW's vision anymore. I think I'm too old-school. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three, plus maybe a couple of one-off board games like that Khorne one that was basically an excuse to pick up all the new characters. AoS, Warcry, and Shadespire. They're all pretty different from each other, sort of like 40K, Necromunda, and Kill Team. Oh, and Blackstone Fortress for 40K, plus they're apparently going to be doing more WHQ stuff for fantasy as well. There are absolutely people who are into all of them, but they're targeting significantly different market segments. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do agree with both points here. But I have wondered myself if GW is so big now, that unfortunately they are starting to compete with themselves. I myself have been focused on AoS and Warhammer Underworlds. I have very little time for 40k or Kill Team and I sold off Necromunda. The problem with all of their games is they are lifestyle games taking considerable investment on time and money. No one can have time for all of them and some will eventually suffer I feel and loose popularity. I do feel like they need to slow down on releasing anymore lifestyle games, beacause no one has time for all of them. Really they have all of these lifestyle games: 40k, AoS, Kill Team, Blood Bowl, Adeptus Titanticus, 30k, Warhammer Underworlds, Necromunda, Warcry, AoS Skimish (kinda) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathanvoodoo Posted April 5, 2019 Report Share Posted April 5, 2019 I for one am actually glad it isn’t ‘killteam’ in AoS. i suspect it will be a far better balanced game this way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as it has alternating activation's like Kill Team I will be happy. I strongly suspect it will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep getting main box and Nighthaunt cards for sure to start with. Good thing I really like the Untamed Beasts Warband in the starter.

Brother Glacius Posted July 15, 2019 Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 That terrain looks sweet, and the fact that they are starting with other factions besides chaos warbands is really nice. Kudos to GW for that. I was originally thinking it was only going to be new warbands designed for the game. But now that I can use other models I already own, that is sweet. I'll be interested in playing once I learn more. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet we will eventually see other AoS armies become usable in the game as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted July 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 Ugh. There is no way I'm going to be able to afford this 😞 On a different note, doing the stat cards entirely with the "Runemarks" instead of text is a brilliant way to minimize how much they have to translate for different markets.

ZeroStride Posted July 16, 2019 Report Share Posted July 16, 2019 Looking forward to the Tzeentcheyquins myself. Here's hoping their rules are as cool as their models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
