After playing a tutorial game at a Warhammer store over the weekend, I was inspired to buy some Shadespire stuff and try it out with my roommate. Still getting a proper feel for the rules, but overall really enjoying it so far. I imagine it's going to be a lot of fun to pick up and play once we have the rules down.

So many of the cards are trap choices, at least here. First Shadespire expansion I won't be getting day one.

Most of them seem like misguided attempts at trying to make the game have more epic plays or flesh out a faction's play style. I'm not defending their choices, but at least they're attempting to making stuff more interesting.

(Not that I had much then either, Aggro Stormcast seems like a pretty newb setup.)

I just had what night be the most one sided match  My Orks vs my coworker's Farstriders. We both deploy along the front lines. He goes first and puts his Leader on Guard. I play Gorkamorka's Blessing and then on my activation I charge and kill his Leader with Gurzag, scoring 3 Glory for the kill + Victorious Duel. Throw WAAAGH on Bonekutta for +1 Damage on a Charge. He shoots Bonekutta and then puts another shot into him with Volley and plays Hidden Walls, so I just move Hakka step forward 1 hex. I forget what he did after that, cycle an objective maybe. Bonekutta charges and 1-shots one of his 2 Striders thanks to being Inspired + WAAAGH. He charges Hakka and does some damage, I inspire and punch back for 2. Roll off for round 2, I go first and Hakka finishes putting that guy in the dirt. We ended up playing out of the rest of the rounds and I got a few things like Denial, Conquest, and Plant A Standard. I rolled so many crits and pretty much nothing could have gone better  I won 14-0I might have some of the timing of the actions mixed up, actually, but either way it was a bad day to be a Farstrider and 1-shotting two of them was glorious.

I think he just wanted to be closer up the board so he could inspire ASAP. Probably figured being On Guard would save his leader, and he forgot Gurzag swings for 3 damage right out of the gate. We agreed the real big mistake was throwing out Hidden Walls first rather than holding it in response to me doing something. Something he won't do again.

I finally played against Magore's Friends. I built my Reavers for one shotting his guys, and got some good use out of some first activation charges with Saek, killing a fiend, and then bringing Saek back home with Illusory Fighter. Magore won the first game with 2 glory, I won the second with 1 glory, and I lost the last one by 1 glory. The dice hated me in the last fight so I couldn't hit anyone. That means I don't get the glass trophy this time around

Will there be more war bands coming? I just got the core box and noticed all the released armies have a short paragraph in the book. Surely with all the other different armies in AoS they could crank out a few more war bands.

I just want some Nurgle love. Also, progress post!  I spray painted a base coat on Hakka like 6 months ago, put down a few layers of yellow and said "gently caress this" then this past week I decided to finally actually paint them. Obviously still need to do the bases, but eh, I'm getting there. My stupid FLGS didn't get the new Board in yet  Supposed to play my friend's Reavers again tomorrow and I was really hoping to get that new board. Oh well.

Oh wait you can put objectives on the traps? That's excellent. And holy gently caress my Orks just got crushed 7-0. Hakka charges in, Miss. He makes a Reaction and pings me for one. Magore Charges Hakka and kills him. He plays Invisible Walls so I just draw a card. He has another fighter charge Gurzag, hits for 2. Plays "Time Trap" and punches Gurzag for 2 more + Twist The Knife to make it a dead Gurzag. So we're half way through Round 1 and I'm down 2 Fighters and he hasn't taken any damage. I cannot overstate how much I dislike Invisible Walls. Sab669 fucked around with this message at 19:04 on Jul 24, 2018 |

That's pretty rough. Some times poo poo just line up like that, and it really, really annoying. Nothing to do except destroy him in the next game. I've been playing around with orks and I'm at the point where I'm trying to figure out what to do with Hakka and Basha. They're rubbish until they get beefed up a bit, but a lot of warbands will just chew through them in an instant. Maybe Shadeglass weapons are the way to go? They work great with Arnulf and Targor on the Reaver team. Invisible Walls is pretty annoying if you can't push dudes around. I've gotten around it with Illusory Fighter though.

Yea I often find myself not really knowing what to do with those two. I initially put Daemonic Weapon into my deck thinking I'd use it make Gurzag inspire himself, but I've had much better luck putting it on either Hakka or Basha. 2 Hammers for 3 Damage, they're effectively now as good as Gurzag is. Or 3 Swords for 2 Damage is more likely to hit, and 2 Damage is still decent. Plus whatever other upgrades you might have.

Considering these figures are snap fit, is there any point in glue at all?

My Gurzag arm is a little wobbly, and I had to glue a pauldron for one of the Stormcast guys in the starter box, but everything else went together perfectly for me.

The legend is in the top left. The first row in green/blue is your chance to hit for a variety of scenarios: (from left to right) Chance to hit with 2 Attacking Supports, 1 Attacking Support, 0 Supports, 1 Defensive Support, 2 Defensive Supports The second row in red is the chance of a 'draw' (both rolling an equal number of successes) The third row in white / purple indicates your chance to Crit. The white (*) or (* represent the offensive supports (really this should be at the top) and the black *) and (*) represent defensive supports.

My partner wants to learn painting & playing and I think Shadespire would be a pretty good way to start. Is the starter box fairly balanced in terms of factions & cards? Don't want to invest (yet) in anything beyond it, but I also remember that every single 40k starter set that GW has made has had poo poo balance.

Don't want to invest (yet) in anything beyond it, but I also remember that every single 40k starter set that GW has made has had poo poo balance. The core set is very much okay. The two warbands play pretty differently, and the cards include all the faction specific cards for them. The pre-built starter deck work against each other, but aren't very interesting, but there is a pile of extra cards included so you can do some deckbuilding after a game or two. I'll say go for it.

About all we know is that the core, based on the two card images they showed, is probably Nighthaunts and Sacrosanct Stormcast, though.

I wonder, is Shadespire, an admittingly decent ruleset at a fair price, an accident from GW's part, considering the rest of their offering.

That troll is definitely going to be a part of a goblin warband. Probably in an effort to keep the model count reasonable and compensate for the goblins.
