Apparently James Hewitt, one of the guys from Mantic and a boardgamegeek user, designed Warhammer Quest: Silver Tower and Gorechosen. I believe he also was involved with Betrayal at Calth, the (somewhat minor) Blood Bowl season 1 rule changes, and the Sylvaneth battletome for Age of Sigmar. Those seem like they have had more favorable reception than some of the other auxiliary stuff GW has done recently. They don't advertise this because of company policy after designers received death threats from warhams, lol

It would be cool if they put their people best on a Mordheim edition that used age of sigmar minis, like Silver Tower. I think it's cool that Silver Tower and Gorechosen use Sigmar stuff and you can expand ST with existing (insanely expensive) models. They should do more like this in the future, so one could get a hero, paint it up, and use it in each of AoS/WHQ/GC/Mordheim and whatever new thing.

I think the Tzaangor's on the disks are pretty neat.

For the durfs, it's really the beard curving in the other direction that looks dumb to me. Maybe it was meant to be a joke, "dwarf beards lmao!" but I don't think it worked. If it discourages people from playing dwarves that's probably a good thing anyways

Warhammer Community put up a preview of the new Warhammer Quest earlier: https://www.warhammer-community.com/2017/02/16/unboxing-the-new-warhammer-quest/

Yeah, I just got a newsletter. Not really sure how I feel about this one. The bad guys seem a lot less interesting than the Silver Tower characters when considered in isolation, and then the 10 kairic acolytes don't really seem that great for someone who already owns Silver Tower. Having models from three different subfactions is also a lot less convenient for the purpose of using the box as a starting point for an AoS warband. Maybe they have rules for miniatures outside of just what is included in the box?

They are also adding a GM. From what I can tell based on the reported sales response to the app for Descent and the various fan made automation solutions for Imperial Assault, I think that might reduce its appeal.

Personally, I was hoping this would come with new Undead models that would eventually get a battletome for AoS, similar to the Tzeentch Disciples.
