The Warcry Battleplan cards have a set of Deployment, Victory and Twist cards. These cards are the same as those in the Warcry Starter Set. It creates an immersive play space that evokes its narrative setting far better than therather genericfortressruins we remember from the original 2019 starter box. Being able to use the the swappable rope bridges to link several different terrain pieces together in different combinations, at different angles, across the board, is a particular stroke of genius.

Aside from the Terrain, you also get two starter warbands. And by starter warbands, we really just mean you get all the models for those two warbands in the starter set. You probably know them as the Iron Golem and the Untamed. As you can see in the images above, the print quality is very good. The graphics are detailed and varied on each side, so there’s plenty to like there and keep your games just that little bit more visually interesting. The rulebooksare aspleasing to the eye as most modern GW publications – but refreshingly shorn of the long-winded legalese that suffuses most Warhammer 40k andAge of Sigmar rules for the benefit of the tournament scene. And, speaking of Warcry’s rules…

The lore for warcry is actually pretty cool. All of the new warbands are different chaos worshippers, but this time around they are quite different from the normal followers of the 4 (5?) Dark Gods. In Warcry, most of the warbands do not know exactly what kind of god it is they worship. The bird bois might worship Slaanesh, but maybe it is Tzeentch? They worship what they think are gods, but in reality, it is probably different aspects of the Dark Gods. Climbmeans climbing up or down any terrain. It is possible to combine a normal move, a jump and a climb into one movement. You just measure the distance you climb up or down as you would if you were walking along as normal. The important thing here: you can only end your move action when the centre of your base is on the battlefield flor or on a platform. So you cannot end your move hanging on a wall. Sometimes this means that you miss some of your movement (you move up to the terrain you want to climb, but you only got 2″ move remaining and the hight is 3″. You then have to end your first move action and begin the next one to climb up). Warhammer Age of Sigmar Warcry is a skirmish wargame set in Games Workshop’s fantasy Age of Sigmar setting. As a skirmish wargame, players pit small warbands of warriors against each other in brutal combat. Warcry is set in the Eightpoints, with each Warband battling to earn their place in Archon’s legion. Most warbands are made up of Chaos followers, but others come from other factions within the Age of Sigmar setting, each with its own goal. In this Warcry Guide, you’ll find details of everything you need to play Warcry, along with guidance on each of the products available and the different forces that can be brought to the table. It feel like a while since we last saw any Warcry content. In fact, it’s been just shy of a year (as in really just shy – by a matter of days, it turns out) since we saw the release of Catacombs.

I really dig the ability and initiative mechanic. It really satisfies my lust for dice rolling and decision making in games. The box comes with masses of accessories, which are crucial for playing Warcry, including a game board, battleplan cards, tokens, dice, a range ruler, fighter cards, and ability cards. That said, while the king of combat is crit the king of movement is… well movement. A high movement, especially if coupled with fly, as really, really good. So good that warbands without will struggle majorly with some types of missions. Quite a few times we have seen units come onto the battlefield in turn 2 and NEVER reach the fight or do anything. This is because their low movement and the way the missions and deploy cards work. You could argue that the player could have done something different in the way they divided their warband up into the different groups, but it is bound to happen sometimes no matter what you do. The downside is that you will probably not have a battle mat that fits those dimensions… What I like about Warcry The core rules of the game

Warcry is the fast-paced skirmish game set within the Mortal Realms of Warhammer Age of Sigmar, which sees small warbands fighting it out for glory, loot, or a simple thirst for blood. At Warhammer Preview Online – Summer Skirmish, we announced the second edition of the game, spearheaded by the new Heart of Ghur boxed set. In direct parallel to the Spec Ops narrative campaignrules in the current edition of Kill Team (see our Kill Team Octariusreview for details), the core rulebook included in Heart of Ghur introduces an expanded Warcry campaign mode. The “ending” of the campaign feels weird. Should you just play on with the warband that has completed his narrative? Did you win the campaign? Take out the insert and put the assembled terrain on the bottom. Put your map and books on top and it all fits! Perfect for boardgame OCD type people. Having a great gateway game into Age of Sigmar and having a great Skirmish game in the AoS setting Its two warbands, though very cool minis in their own right (especially the Rotmire Creed) feel a little shorthanded for the price point – and, just like the gnarlwoods, beginner modellers will have a hard time getting them built without a few bent, snapped, or otherwise mangled extremities.

The issues in matched play, as well as the balancing between warbands, makes me believe that Warcry is NOT for very competitive matched play gamers. You will simply run into too many instances where you will feel like the game is “broken”. This is very clearly an introductory and learning set. That fact will likely upset some people who are not the target audience of this box. The target audience is more likely to be people new to gaming or skirmish gaming, who need gentle easing into the game. As a product doing that, it’s great. The box has enough to teach the basics, breaks down how to play the games, and given there is a range ruler on the counter sheet and the models are push fit, contains everything you need to play the game. It’s not the full game. It’s not trying to be the full game – but it occupies the same niche as the 40k Intro box. This, quite clever, mechanic makes it so that going last is not always bad, because it will likely mean you have access to more special power juice. Do note that after each round your remaining dice get removed, so you need to use all of your abilities in that round (it is easy to save them for later, then realizing that the round is suddenly over).If you want to use two abilities with the same fighter in the same combat round. You can use an ability each time you activate the fighter. The core rules seem solid enough. Everything is quite simple, but the depth and tactics is still clearly visible in initiative roll + wild dice mechanic + how you spend your abilities + how you move your fighters to win the missions.

The design of the models is excellent and thematic. Although Lord Leech must clearly be an aspect of the chaos god Nurgle, the models are not bloated but gaunt and slender, giving them a look all their own. With their equipment made of bamboo and bone, they fit perfectly into the new Realm of Beasts setting. Since every model except the Witherlord can be built with alternative armament, it will be quite feasible to buy a second box for expansion later on. However, as usual with Warcry, further personalisation options or alternative posing possibilities are not to be found. The Horns of Hashut The dice aren’t particularly exciting, but they’ll get the job done (and there’s also absolutely loads of them so you needn’t worry about losing one or two under the sofa). The cards and tokens are as Warcry collectors will expect: good-quality, clear to read and easy to understand at a glance. Scenery tends to be a bit divisive amongst Warhammer fans. Some people love it, and relish the opportunity to make their battlefields look all the better. Others (like the author of this article, I’m afraid) tend to struggle to find the motivation to paint it all. We must admit, however, that this sprue of scenery bits isn’t too bad: there’s not too much of it, and none of it is so large that it could be a pain to paint (and even more difficult to store).

Warhammer Underworlds

The runemark of the fighter. They are bit like keywords in Age of Sigmar, deciding what special abilities the fighter can use and what buffs can be used on them. Unlike all previous Warcry releases before it (at least all those that we’re aware of), Crypt of Blood includes two Warhammer: Underworlds warbands. The Victory card determines what the goal of the game is. Most times you will see Objectives in the game (points that need to be captured and controlled). These work like Age of Sigmar (you gain control if you have more fighters within 3″ of it than your opponent does and you keep control until the enemy takes the objective). This cuts out boring preambles, ensures each game plays a bit differently, and keeps both players’ focus on the bloody, turn-to-turn combat, rather thanthe high-minded list-engineering and precision positioning of GW’s full scale wargames. It’s brilliant, and a splendid Warhammer entry point for newcomers. The dices are sweet, but there are not enough for two players to play the game without running into some issues (this is mostly due to the fact that you would preferably want to not roll your initiative dice for combat).
