New Faction Starter Boxes

[Reaperbryan]

The New Athak is up in the Gallery and in the Data Card Section of ReaperGames also.

 

You are correct, one of the strengths of Warlord is non-homogenous unit construction. However, homogenous unit sales is far far simpler from a retail standpoint, and does not cause us to presume any ratio of unit A:Unit B. You may not need all 8/9 of a grunt offered in a boxed set. That's ok - We also sell them in 3's or 1's (Boneyard).

 

Either solution has advantages & Disadvantages. As it stands now, none of the 3 boxes that offer Necropolis models have any models in common. You may alrady have the Faction Book from 1 box, you may already have the CK's from 1 box, the Breakers, the Warriors, or the Leader or Elite model, or you may already have all of them and won't need any box. That's OK, too.

...and "Adept" is only a limiting factor if you stubbornly refuse to grow your army to the 2000 point level. At 2000 points, you can legally have two units of Crimson Knights, for example. Spike and I wrote out 2000 point Reven list last night with two units of archers, two units of berzerkers, their leaders and elites, and nothing else.

 

I'm sure she will add one of the Reven sets, just to add ANOTHER unit of these meatchoppers to the army, as it approaches 5000 points

Hmm . . I'd love to compare 2K lists, off-thread.

I've got no real problem with the way the boxes are being packaged, I was only pointing out that their could be disadvantages to the way they are currently being packaged (I'll be the first to admit that I think it is pretty cool there are no duplicate models in any of the same-faction boxes though).

 

But like you say Bryan, their are always alternatives, and every one has its advantages. Just throwing in my two bits, mainly because I'm a huge fan of the game, and I want to see it grow in popularity.

I was just looking on the webshop and I saw the new Necropolis Faction box set . Does anyone know what's in it ?

[Stubbdog]

Each will have:

 

1 alternate pose sargeant (or other leader unit),

9 adepts

10 bottles of reaper master paints

1 faction book

any relavent data cards

 

Example:

[Brushmaster]

Thanks , that looks great with the paint included !

[mooseyjoe]

will they all have the same basic paint set or will it be faction specific.

 

 

 

you might want a different set of paint to paint the darkspawn than the crusaders for instance.

[Stubbdog]

tho technically not faction specific because you can paint your miniatures however you care to, yes they include different paints in each box.

 

I would imagine there will be a few colors that will be generic in multiple boxes, like a liner, maybe a white, a brown or black, and a grey. After that I would imagine they will pick some colors most associated with skin color of whatever is in the box.

So in terms of value:

 

Sgt = $4.50

9 adepts = 3 packages @ $13.50 = $40.50

Faction Book = $20.00

10 MSP @ $3.00 ea = $30.00

 

So for $70 USD you get about $95.00 worth of stuff, retail.

 

Did I mention that Reaper is cool company?

[Krztoff]

The coolest.

 

Anybody know WHICH MSPs will be in Necropolis?

[claymoore]

Are the new faction boxes replacing the original ones or in addition to them? Not everyone wants/needs MSPs.

I believe they are in addition to the original boxes. Otherwise, it would have made more sense to put grunt warriors in them

The Reven and Necro boxes have just been released. The Crusader box should be out for the holiday season. Next will be the Nefsokar followed at least it better be by the Dwarves.

 

I'd expect the elves (I just don't understand why you'd want them) should be out by next spring or summer.
