in all honesty the stormcrap and that dwarf are ruining the box for me... and did i mention the nigger priest???
Leo Ross
What about the priest?
Xavier Adams
holy shit these are beautiful minis.
Leo Clark
better view of the box art
Ayden Hernandez
I'm sure it will be a fun little Hero Quest, but I don't really think there's a market for it in this age of coop vidya? Plus, those small game lines have never really been a profitable affair for GW? Necromunda, Mordheim et al.
Chase Morales
I feel like that foes list isn't correct. There's at least 4 beastmen in the box too going by the pics
Hunter Harris
Boardgames are still pretty popular and its probably aimed more at drawing those folks into the hobby. Plus it'll hit the nostalgia button for a bunch of us. They probably don't do to badly in proffits with limited run being an excuse to jack up the price.
Dylan Thompson
Would be nice if it's not too hard to convert old material.. There was more old stuff in published WD, CJ and shit than I expected. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warhammer_Quest
Can you get hold of pdfs of Deathblow Magazine anywhere?
Joshua Allen
The new Diablo expansion?
Samuel Watson
WE
Isaiah Walker
>they actually think people are going to warm up to Age of Smegma
Charles Wilson
The heroes seem a little mainstreamy compared to the old version? Standard archetypes, nothing really stands out about them...
Kayden Moore
The old heroes being "A dwarf", "A wood elf", "A barbarian" and "A Grey Wizard that looked like Gandalf".
I mean, dude. Come on...
Cameron Edwards
wot? the old version was about as mainstream as you can get. Barbarian, Dwarf, Elf and wizard.
Cooper Sanders
first look at the new dark elf/high elf style?
Kinda weak. Priest looks great though. So do the chaos dudes.
those were all expansion heroes (of which there were a shit ton)
base game just had the elf, dwarf, wizard and barb
Joshua Allen
Those where in later expansion packs. The warhammerquest game just had a dwarf an elf a barbarian and a wizard initially. This reboot is starting off already more diverse and less generic.
Jordan Richardson
>This reboot is starting off already more diverse and less generic Because it have priest of dindunuffin?
Christian Powell
Not really no Its very dnd cleric (or warhammer warrior priest) The paladin is the stormcaste
Evan Carter
kk. Never played the old WHQ so I dunno shit about the details of that game. But if they'll release more heroes for this one there'll hopefully be some interesting dudes.
William Torres
To be fair, it's still only grabbing from pre-existing WHQ heroes.
Sigmarine is probably going to act like the Chaos Warrior or Bretonnian Knight Dank Elf will likely be similar to the Wardancer High Elf's just a wizard Priest/Slayer are straight from WHQ
Honestly it's the deathrunner that has me curious. Is he a hero, or just a special minion.
Luis Gonzalez
>base game just had the elf, dwarf, wizard and barb This guy is right.
Logan Hill
The starting elf is a darkie?
Daniel Martinez
The starting box only having tzeentch chaos enemies seem a little meh.
Noah Torres
>Barbarian >WS 3
Nathan Jenkins
Tzeentch and skaven.
Jeremiah Collins
It is called the silver tower.
Isaac Brown
look at you have naked elf and wizard elf
Andrew Peterson
Tzeentch has basically no mortal/beastman models. It's a bit of a welcome change from more nurgle/khorne, even though I play khorne.
Christian Jenkins
Those White Dwarf pics show birdmen, skaven (both types of Beastmen?) and cultists.
Liam Thompson
The sculpt itself does not have negroid features it was painted that way because the GW Corporate art director demanded more deversity.
Blake Hughes
Boardgames are booming right now. Orginal WHQ sets sell for $200 USD or more. I pieced one together sans box for about $150
Kayden Peterson
I have, I think that Stormarine looks pretty swagger.
Joshua Davis
My french is kinda rusty, but here goes
>Every legend has its heroes, and WHQ Silver Tower gives you the choice between six champions, from the stern dwarf to the inscrutable wizard, passing through the chaos lord and the noble priest of Sigmar. All willing to triumph over the Silver Tower
Colton Stewart
resolution from the other two pics is not that good, lots of words are too blurred
Lincoln White
he still needs a headswap and the giant-ass runes on the parchment filled in
I guess the barbarian is going to be a chaos lord in this, then.
John Reyes
>he still needs a headswap
But I like masks.
Chase Richardson
fuck off you don't know what you like
Charles Diaz
>this fucking CAD dwarf >this bland as shit sigmarine
Thomas Collins
I'm not normally one for board games, but this i am very, very tempted by. Have we had any word on price yet?
Jace Wood
a smart ballpark would be the price of Overkill
Ethan Parker
??
Benjamin Watson
What is street price on Deathwatch: Overkill? MSRP is $165 USD
Jose Fisher
It's a nice change of pace from full battles, actually, and you still get to play with minis. 90's WHQ was lots of fun to play, hope they polished the rules and improved the narrative.
William Flores
From the fiery lands of Aqshy to the towers of Azyrheim, the legend of the Silver Tower and its mysterious master, the Gaunt Summoner, is told. It tells of a nightmarish realm, but also that the hero that triumphs over the king-sorcerer of that cursed place and his tests will see all his wishes fulfilled. Thus, champions gathered from the four winds will brave the nightmarish horrors of the Silver Tower, in order to win the [can't read, something like "spoils"] of the Gaunt Summoner.
In Warhammer Quest Silver Tower, you and up to three of your friends take the role of champions exploring the Silver Tower. Some search fortune and glory, others want to kill the Gaunt Summoner. Warhammer Quest Silver Tower is complete boxed game, with 13 double-sided board tiles, a 40-page manual, a 40-page adventure book, cards, tokens, dice, and 51 strikingly beautiful Citadel miniatures, representing the inhabitants of the Silver Tower, and the heros who venture therein. [Text in red box is illegible, the title is "what haunts the Silver Tower?"]
Every legend has its heroes, and Warhammer Quest Silver Tower offers a choice between six champions, from a taciturn Duradin to an unfathomable Aelf Mage, passing through the Chaos Lord and the noble Priest of Sigmar. All want to triumph over the Silver Tower...

MY TZEENTCH BONER.
Jace Lee
GW stuff usually sticks pretty close to MSRP. The board games are pricy, but you do get a lot of plastic in them.
Nathan James
You have no idea how roleplaying works.
You don't start with intricately designed heroes with grand backstories.
You start with blank slates and develop them over time.
Colton Carter
Tzaangors The Tzaangors are ancient beastmen, devoted to Tzeentch, that the architect of change has remodelled more to his taste, replacing their snouts with a beak, and endowing their rough skin with shimmering feathers, ruffling their necks with tentacles, similar to those of the Horrors. Under they birdlike appearance and their armor of surprising quality for beastmen, the Tzaangors haunt the cursed halls of the Silver Tower to flush out the heroes and the weaker occupants of the Gaunt Summoner's realm, eager to satisfy their violent impulses. They close on their prey in a flood of beaks and blades.

Kairic Acolytes Corrupted in body and soul by their fanatic devotion to Tzeentch and the Gaunt Summoner, the Kairic Acolytes are the warrior-sorcerers invigorated by a killer zeal. They are all accomplished spellcasters, capable of blasting the intruders mad enough to risk themselves in the Silver Tower with magical discharges as well as slitting their throats. Their masters are the Kairic Adepts, (top left), the most capable among them, but despite their unfailing loyalty, they are, for the Gaunt Summoner, nothing more than sacrificial pawns in his intrigues.
Noah Rodriguez
I just bought lost patrol for $45 shipped in USA. MSRP on GW site is $105 wtf
Benjamin Reed
As a native-level French speaker, living in a non-French-speaking country, who still prefers to consume English content in the origin language, the French in all of this is stilted AF. It's like they took the English text, passed it Google Translate with the "flowery words" checkbox on, then let a fourth-grader made sure it works on the most basic of language levels. Stuff like there are non-French idioms and expressions that are translated directly from English.
If this is the level of translation that GW has for the actual products (and not just in WD), my god they give 0 fucks.
Eli Williams
Thank you French user!
Landon Diaz
GW only wants you to buy moar! This is the problem of Publiclly traded corporations in niche markets.
Charles Peterson
> More than triple WS is 6+ to hit This needs to come back into other GW rules.
Anthony Sullivan
What do we know about the silver tower? It was a unit in Epic that's all I remember.
Ethan Bailey
I assumed it's either the end of a word, or it refers to how Witch Elves fight with almost no armor.
Think you can do a better job, translate it yourself, buddy.
Angel Barnes
It has a constantly changing crystal Labrynith
I'd like to see the orginal gate way doors return but this looks like just tiles. They painted up nice and easy.
Jason Mitchell
...
Ayden Stewart
I'm seeing some pink horrors, smaller blue horrors like the fluff, and even smaller swarms of ... Yellow horrors? Maybe they're just little fire sprites or something but the idea of a further split into swarms of smaller beings is sweet.
Lucas Scott
Silver towers are a tzeentch thing. Like khorne and his skulls or nurgle and flys.
Samuel Jenkins
Horrors in this game don't die. They split in two. So pink - into two blues, blue - into to yellow. But at first when i see dat yellow horror on art i thought dat it was purified by priest common pink horror.
Cooper Phillips
I could but I honestly can't be arsed to translate AoS shit.
Anthony Hill
Mfw GW kills off the old world and WHQ will have no halfling thiefs, witch hunters or Bretonnian Knights.
Luke Roberts
tzeentchlings would be pretty funky
Chase Smith
>Trusting anything from GW's bottom of the bin game designers Just play Descent or another mechanically superior dungeon crawler
Blake Williams
Well I'll be buying this to add to my tzeentch army then. Holy shit I want to see what the prince looks like
Levi Hughes
Descent requires An overlord/DM player I thought?
Josiah Rivera
It does.
However they've just or are about to release a phone app that acts as the overlord (so i hear)
Jeremiah Jackson
It does As said it will be possible to go without it Other dungeon crawl board games like Dungeon Saga don't require an overlord either
Carson Rogers
Kingdom Death Myth Journey etc etc etc
Gavin Peterson
...
Isaiah Diaz
Believe it or not! Some people enjoy hanging out in meat space!
Robert Wilson
Are there pictures of the Daemon Prince at all?
Joseph Thompson
This. In an age where gritty down to earth stuff like Game of Thrones and The Witcher get popular, they have to throw all that stuff out to pander to the World of Warcraft audience.
Bentley Barnes
My favorite game to play is 2.5D tile based RPG lite games with miniatures and a Dungeon Master. I've been running an Indy game called Trapdoor using Warhammer FRPG orginal setting.
Justin Green
Theres no daemon prince, BolS is just sht at making up rumors. The endboss is the gaunt summoner.
Henry Mitchell
Oh well. I still want to see an actual Daemon Prince of Tzeentch model, as there are multiple official sculpts of Khorne and Nurgle princes.
Adrian Miller
We will know for sure in 13 days.
Sebastian Diaz
Are you 12?
Wyatt Bennett
We know now. We have pictures of the contents.
Jeremiah Campbell
Sexy minis. I've never been a fan of moonface tho. It's one of those "Why would you do that?" kind of deals for me.
Leo Martin
Looks like there is a giant monster to the right of black Sigmar priest.
Kayden Bailey
it's the big minotaur looking dude on the cover
Connor Garcia
Not him but its not "giant". Its only the same size as the stormcast. I'd be pretty suprised f that was the prince, because if it is its not even as big as the default plastic one.
Sebastian Gonzalez
More likely to be a Tzeentchian minotaur or something similar. Maybe a Tzeentch take on that monster that was included in the starter set?
