A brand new game in a box, telling the story of a group of mighty heroes battling their way through the Silver Tower. The box contains:

51x brand new highly detailed plastic miniatures, the quality of which there is nothing else like it on the market. Some miniatures are brand new concepts for the army, and will excite many customers! The miniatures have a dynamic single pose and will require glue and assembly (they are not push fit, however easy to put together). The miniatures can be divided into two camps:

The Warhammer Quest Heroes
6x individual Warhammer Quest heroes
Knight Questor – The Paladin (Stormcast Eternal)
Darkoeth Chieftan – The Barbarian (Free People)
Fyreslayer Doomseeker The Dwarf (Dwarf)
Excelsior War priest & Gryph Hound – The header and war priest companion (Free People)
Mistweaver Saith – Female wizad (Aelf)
Tenebrand Shard – The assassin (Aelf)

The Denizens
44x individual Warhammer Quest monsters that live in the Silver Tower. The below list of miniatures make for a great addition or a start of an original Grand Alliance Chaos army!
Gaunt Summoner
Ogroid Traumaturge
2x Skaven Deathrunners
8x Familiars
6x Tzaangors (Beastmen)
8x Kairic Acolytes
2x Pink Horrors
4x Blue Horrors
4x pairs of Brimstone Horrors
8x Grot Scuttlings

Gaming Accessories
A guide book

40x Exploration (event) cards, to offer even more variation to the game so that each game will be different.

The game comes in a high quality rigid box (Dark Vengeance size). The box is full with miniatures and game components and therefore fairly heavy. To ensure that your boxes arrive in a good condition, we have pre-packed the new game in reinforced boxes. You can order in singles, however we do recommend that you order Warhammer Quest in quantities of 5, to ensure your orders arrive in a good condition.

Organise a pre-release party in your store to celebrate the launch! We have made our promotional material for this launch weekend even better! Want to make the most out of the Warhammer Quest: Silver Tower? The bigger you want to make this release, the more promotional support you will get to have an amazing party in your store!

Launch pack with deluxe and limited edition gaming material! See image.

This launch pack contains:

Deluxe soft touch gaming markers
Packs of deluxe holographic hero character cards. Each hero character card pack also contain 4x limited edition hero character cards for additional heroes. These character cards are not in the game and cannot be found anywhere else!
Warhammer Quest: Silver Tower badges (with 6 designs)
Warhammer Quest: Silver Tower art cards

This launch pack will definitely help you, to get your customers in store for a Warhammer Quest: Silver Tower release event!

>>47174662

So the question is do I pay full retail + sales tax $159 USD at the GW store to try to get the launch pack exclusives (which I will promptly sell on ebay)?

That's one sexy ogre. The horrors look great too.

The rumor in the DakkaDakka thread http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/300/690078.page

Is that WHQ will be its own new game line along with AoS and 40K.

What are soft markers? I know what card board punch out chits are but wtf are soft markers?

>>47175343
Those are for the special limited edition box sets, dumbass. The rest of the copies us plebeians will get will be regular print cards and cardboard markers.

So they're so concerned about the AoS stigma killing sales, that they're pitching it to retailers in hopes they'll buy into the self-hype and bump up orders? Because thats what that looks like to me.

God damn Games Workshop is sad. One characteristic of stupid people, is that they underestimate the intellect of others. Games Workshop exhibits that quality to the extreme with their customers, now they are openly insulting retailers' awareness?

A lot of the shit theyve been doing suggests theyre in the early stages of full blown panic.

Everything but correct the actual problems causing sales shrink, right Mr. Rountree?

>>47176295
Except making something like this is planned out longer than 8 months. Likely this game went to the drawing board and was put on the schedule before AoS was released.

But you can continue to think that this is damage control or GW in panic mode if it makes you feel any better.

>>47176295

I just want WFB and the Old World back. I don't want Age of Sigmar Quest I want the real Warhammer Quest of my youth.

pretty much expected. They did this for the old WHQ too.

>>47176501

Apparently GW is going to put out an app where you can buy the rules for new heroes. There is another rumor that said the app will make use of QR codes to give you the rules either for WHQ products and/or AoS products.

>>47176614

It's very likely not going to happen, you'll see some people take an interest in Fantasy lore and maybe buy books and that is about it.

>no skellies or vamps I can slide into my main army

Not worth the $599 USD + tip they're gonna charge for this.

Meh.

Tzeentch is my favorite and the Tzaangors and Cultists look alright but I don't have any use for them.

So I'm gonna need a milliong Tzaangors and Cultists.

Chances on people selling their mooks/GW releasing booster box type things?

I know the genestealers got jack shit but are they saying they want WHQ to be a thing?

>>47178784

There is a decent chance that GW will release the models individually at some point.

The Assassins all got released and there is a rumor that the next couple weeks will see a release of the contents from Betrayal at Calth.

>>47178887
Well assassins are a 40k unit still no? So that would explain why they got out of boxed. None of the Overkill stuff got repackaged so I'm shaded.

Plastic boxes of 30k marines would be pretty stellar though.

>>47179007
Overkill was, what, two months ago? The assassins got individually released well over a year after Execution Force.

>>47179393
That honestly sounds like an excellent thing.

I also enjoy Warcraft, come at me bro

I wouldn't be surprised after seeing some Warscroll pictures.

At any rate the picture itself isn't the clearest and if the model is positioned in such a way where the face is supposed to be visible, it's probably wearing a helmet or mask.

That Doomseeker some new dorf fluff? I though he was just an ordinary dorf warrior, looked so from the old group photo, but here he's a troll slayer... with a helmet? All very odd to me.

Yes.
Fyreslayers look like slayers but don't act much like them.
Doomseeker does.

I'm not reallly feeling this "trapped in tzeentch dungeon FOREVER" setting? What I liked about the original WHQ was your group traveling around and delving into all kinds of grottos and dungeons. And there was events that could take place in towns, taverns or en route to your adventures, no? Variety, man!

The oruks (fuck it hurts even simply typing it) shaman official pic is LITERALLY Gazgul from WoW. Literally. The undead army could have an undead elf qt as a faction leader that you'd still suck GW's dick and claim it's a coincidence.

>>47185258
Who is Gazgul?

It's a character from a popular MMO that the design team of AoS loves to steal their designs and ideas from.

>>47185258
I am pretty sure you're talking about Gul'dan, but whatever. So if he is LITERALLY Gul'dan, the character in AoS would be named Gul'dan, and it would talk of his backstory being the exact same as Gul'dan, burning legion, founding of the orcish horde from outland and all. Because that's what it means to be LITERALLY a copy of something.

You are such a retard.

gul'dan has a beard, though

And anyways, both the AoS shaman and Gul'dan were directly inspired by the classic GW Orc shaman. Of fucking course there's going to be similarities. Warcraft Orcs are (according to your definition) LITERALLY GW Orcs with a slightly different coat of paint.

I will probably buy some Chinese knock offs of the horrors and just play Descent, Dungeon Saga, or maybe even invest in Kingdom Death as the game designers are actually competent.

>>47185648

I'm not the guy who said literally, just the one who pointed out your autistic traits.

>>47185258
Dude, get the fuck over it. Companies steal from each other all the fucking time. There is nothing original anymore. This is not the first time GW stole something from another source, nor will it be the last. Blizzard steals from GW, GW steals from Tolkien. Blizzard steals from Tolkien. TSR steals from Tolkien. WotC steals from Blizzard. Blizzard steals from WotC... i could go on.

The point is things all begin to look eerily similar as time goes on and all ideas get less original. Any faggot who claims old warhammer is more original than AoS is just as idiotic as those who claims that AoS is more original than old warhammer.

All the fantasy settings can do is put a different spin and mix things up, and that's the best we can hope for with originality. The whole argument is asinine.

Here is Gul'dan. He is pretty much depicted this way in most of his art, with variation.

Spot any differences? If you do, then the ironjawz shaman could be argued that he is inspired by gul'dan, but not a 'blatant outright rip off'

The GW shilling is strong in this thread. Can't expect smegmarines fanboys to be honest anyway.

But then, maybe not. >>47185173 Looks like a short time effort to me.

>>47186860
>an entirely new range of minis and an accompanying app
>short time effort
Lost Patrol was a short time effort, this is not.

It takes a while to get the ball rolling on a new range of minis. Especially for something like this, where it's not just a new kit.

The minis have to be designed/sculpted
Then the steel molds need to be cut. That takes a long time as the factory keeps sending test sprues back for proofing
Then it all needs to go into production. They have to make enough to fit their estimated demand for a worldwide market.
Then it all needs to be boxed and packaged
Even before all this, plans would have been put on their planning board long before as the initial concept and overall design gets pitched to the heads. Companies this big plans things out long ahead, they don't just wake up one morning, decide to make a game, then immediately start working on it.

I would most likely put this at something around a little over a year out. AoS is less than a year old.

Interesting for GW to acknowledge that leaks have happened and provide better pictures. Hopefully they continue to do this and this puts an end to the conspiracy theories of them doing leaks on purpose. On the downside though it means there are people out there really bad at taking pictures.

>>47181863

They have some aspects of GW dwarfs to them, they're just not 100% identical to Fantasy's Dwarfs or even Slayers, which makes sense in a way.

>>47182958

There is nothing stopping them from creating expansions that don't take place in the Silver Tower. The Mortal Realms being so chaotic and more fantastical arguably behooves something like Warhammer Quest because it expands the realm of possibility.

>>47184041

Brian Nelson designed the first of the new Orc miniatures and that set the stage for the rest.

Like another Anon said, this wouldn't be the first time that GW has drawn inspiration from Blizzard or other sources in general. Back when Tyranids got their facelift, people apparently noticed quite a few similarities between them and the Zerg.

So it's a helmet or mask.

Appears to be very much influenced by the Harlequin Shadowseer, mixed with some High Elf symbolism such as Lileath's moon.

As for Wyches, that was always the case, Wyches were based on Witch Elves after all.

Well the Mistweaver is not a Farseer because it doesn't really behave or look like one. The closest 40k equivalent in the Shadowseer.

Also, does it really matter? I don't recall people squawking about how 40k was basically Fantasy in space, but now when GW is using 40k to influence AoS it's suddenly a problem.

It's really best to just drop the assumption that AoS is going to be 1:1 with Fantasy since it can only lead to disappointment.

More down to him being huge, I think. The khorne marauders (blood bleeders?) have similar facial structures.

So no GW systems have WS anymore, just a static 'to hit' number? That's strange to an old-timer...

>>47191111

Eh, I honestly said High Elf because of the moons and golden trinkets and it looking more like it errs towards them, suppose it could be something in between.

Going by the Warscroll, it has no faction alignment whatsoever other than Order and being and Elf. Entirely possible that AoS will continue to have that don't fit the Fantasy mold and are more akin to how 40k treat the Eldar where they're at least broken into four groups, Craftworlders, Dark Eldar, Harlequins, and Exodites.

>>47191407

In a way the only reason I miss the WS tables is because of the simulation aspect. In practice you were always looking to roll a 3, 4, or 5, so it doesn't seem like a big loss to me compared to a system such as you'd find in Warmachine, Hordes, or Infinity where the stats for deciding things go all the way up to and beyond 20.

>>47191479

I didn't catch that, but honestly it seems no more different than the moon crest that was on top of Teclis' staff. Just seems like an odd coincidence that means nothing. Unfortunately watch it become the new meme complaint.

Blue Horrors split from a defeated Pink Horror, right? So would the Yellow, er, Brimstone Horrors split from the defeated Blue Horrors?

>>47194753
Maybe. I'm not sure how that would work, though it would make plenty of sense for Tzeentch Daemons to just constantly split and change like that.

>>47194804

It would make them very annoying to fight. A half-dozen Pink Horrors turn into a dozen Blue Horrors which turn into two dozen Yellow Horrors doubled up on 12 bases. Three different combatants in a single model.

>>47194753

Yes, that is what the WD says.

I find it odd how the game will talk about denizens of the Mortal Realm, but seems reluctant to elaborate on who they are. So now all we've seen is one human priest, and we have no idea if everyone else is like in the Empire or what.

What am I fighting for?

>>47195296

>but seems reluctant to elaborate on who they are

In this case it's mostly likely the scattered remnants of humanity that live in seven of the realms and those who reside in Azyr.

>and we have no idea if everyone else is like in the Empire or what.

There is no Empire

We do also have a good idea what the humans from Azyr and possibly other places look like. There are a few factions, the Devoted of Sigmar, the Free Peoples, the Collegiate Arcane, and part of the Ironweld Arsenal. The first three are composed of models from the Empire range and the last is a mixture of Empire and Dwarf artillery units, the Steam Tank, the Gyrocopter, and the Gyrobomber.

>>47190860

Not that interested in the setting either, neither Age of Sigmar or a Silver Tower.

Same with Lost Patrol, which is looking to be about £50 despite literally using the same shitty cardboard tiles as the version released years ago.

>So much denial
You can bring a Mistweaver along with your eldar army, and no one would even noticeit is from fantasy range.

It's growing on me. Not to sound autistic but I would have to replace some of the models. ie. the sigmarine with an imperial/Bretonnian knight and the dark elf with something.

It looks nice, but I'm not sure it looks 125€ worth of nice. Especially considering I already got the original one for half as much.

What makes you think something similar won't happen in this game?

>>47201440

What exactly am I denying? Certainly not any 40k inspiration since I said it looks and behaves similar to a Shadowseer, another 40k model.

If you were playing Harlequins or using them as allies, yeah you could conceivably use it to represent a Shadowseer or possibly another model with some conversion. Dark Eldar could possibly work too, again with conversion. It's going to stick out like a sore thumb with normal Craftworld Eldar though, especially as a Farseer.

>>47201652

Nah, only people who still don't get that this is set in the AoS universe, not something separate.

It wasn't to re-energize a dead franchise, they cannibalized an existing franchise on the gamble that it would attract new players. AoS is in no way a continuation of WHFB. Just because it uses the same models doesn't mean anything.

>>47228653

All of the heroes, the Gaunt Summoner, and the Ogroid Thaumaturge will likely get released as clampacks at some point because their sprues are set up that way.

Might not be exactly the same, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Tzaangors and Acolytes each get a kit, both or at least the Acolytes helping to fill out the Tzeencth faction in AoS. Could probably see Blue Horrors as a kit too, possibly including Brimstone Horrors if they get rules. Familiars would also depend if they get rules.

Scuttlings are a bit of a stretch, but with rules they could fit nicely into the Spider Goblin faction.

Even the Deathrunner could be released, albeit probably looking different, since Eshin doesn't have a plastic equivalent to my knowledge.

>>47228676

My apologies, I guess I'm too used to shitposters and people panicking for no reason in any thread dealing with GW.

>>47229224

I could see GW possibly releasing a set of rules that is supposed to allow you to play similar to Mordheim.

I think whether an AoS version of Mordheim could happen or not will come down to what size GW dictates the average game be for AoS going forward when they release the General's Handbook. If the average game is around 30 models per side, I see the possibilities of an AoS Mordheim going down since it sort of loses the strength of being a way to get people into AoS proper, especially since that seems like something they're going to try and attempt with WHQ.

>>47229258

They look pretty good to me and I'm not sure how else you would really do a Tzaangor. People wanting god specific Beastmen like the aforementioned and Beastmen that take the form of other animals besides cows or goats is a wish that has been expressed for some time.
