I’m late with updates because I can only do hobby stuff on nights and weekends, but here’s the latest leaks!
What happened in the last couple days?
A blurry pre-release photo leaked out:
So GW tried to get ahead of the story with a post on Warhammer-Community.
They put a good spin on it and offered to reveal more into about a single character based on a poll. These are the choices:
I voted for the dwarf, but the knight won. I don’t mind, he’s pretty cool.
But I think the biggest news (division) is the board pictured above. It looks like a map-book. My knee jerk reaction was that I didn’t like it. It looks very unimpressive. There’s hardly any components pictured. What precisely are we getting for what I can only guess will be $250 US.
With a map-book, that means that there’s no more exploration aspect to the game. That’s a BIG departure. Maybe there’s a really creative method employed, but I’m betting on 100% static maps. It will be nice to have a defined footprint and fast setup. But they’re going to have to sell me on this.
It also doesn’t look easily backward compatible with Cursed City. I sure hope that it is. It will be pretty cheap and crummy for GW to prune the Cursed City game system.
I plan on writing an article imploring GW to give us a generous game. From the leaked photo, I don’t think that’s what we’re getting this time around.
