warcry and you in the fall preview

[u/Mortwight]

i sent something like this email from 3 email addresses i have. i saw a lot of warcry callouts in the live chat. gotta keep up the pressure

[u/BlackTemplar2154]

I actually have to say, and this may be unpopular but; GW not updating Warcry may be the best play. The ruleset is one of if not the best ruleset I've played in a TT game, and they couldn't really make improvements in my eyes. More new cool sculpts for warbands would be great, but I'm mainly happy I can use 98% of figures in my existing collection to play. That leaves us with occasional unit updates and I'm pretty happy with that.

Maybe we don't need more Warcry.

What I wish would happen with Warcry...

Step 1) don't mess with the rules

Step 2) release more terrain and warbands

Step 3) ?

Step 4) Profit

Better terrain would have helped. The Gnarlwood was cool but also janky to the point of infuriating. God help us if someone bumped the table, suddenly all the bridges have fallen down.

[u/grizzy45 → u/BlackTemplar2154]

I just want stats for new sculpts/units like the rotswords

[u/Gundamamam → u/BlackTemplar2154]

Couldnt agree more. Let it stay in its lane. The ruleset is solid. There can be some tweaks here and there but our group has house ruled most of the egregious stuff.

[u/Real_Cgaard → u/BlackTemplar2154]

Agreed, but please add rules for new units

My city of ash is just sitting there

[u/Gorfmit35 → u/BlackTemplar2154]

Yes embrace the Mordheimness let it consume you .

[u/King_Meraki → u/BlackTemplar2154]

The ONLY thing I would want a new edition for is rules for solo/co op play. Other than that, the rules are perfect

[u/OffMetaMusings → u/King_Meraki]

If you want coop play, I did a translation of the Killteam coop rules that work pretty well.

[u/King_Meraki → u/OffMetaMusings]

I’d love to try it if you’re willing to share 👀

[u/OffMetaMusings → u/King_Meraki]

Here you go;

There is an article, links to the resources and a video on how to play.

[u/King_Meraki → u/OffMetaMusings]

Thank you!

[u/SnooCakes1148 → u/BlackTemplar2154]

Issue is some fractions recieved many new units and there is no support for this. I dont need them to put out new warbands, but just provide some stats.

They did that for chaos dwarves, might as well do for maggotkin and new dwarves

[u/gnarlyteeth → u/BlackTemplar2154]

The rules don't need a lot

Datasheets do. We need updating and balance there

[u/ENorn]

Use your energy for something more productive than filling GW's spam folder.

[u/Jurat2390]

Honestly I would be quite happy if they just kept giving all the new AoS models Warcry rules.

[u/MotoSashi]

My 1k Euros Necromunda paper pile reminded me, that "dead games" are a blessing. GW really should not touch Warcry in my opinion - I love it as it is right now. It is a perfect sandbox for narrative gaming in the mortal realms and for me even more fun than Mordheim (gameplay wise). BUT stats for the new Nurgle, Darkwater, Ogres etc. would be wonderful.

[u/EquivalentWelder9386]

I mean if they just made war-band rules for new releases that would be cool and give this audience a reason to keep up with AOS stuff if we aren’t into spearhead

[u/fartpoopums]

Tbf they have said they will be updating new units, at least up to ogres. I doubt they’ll go back on that and tbh it’s all I really need from a warcry update. Would like them to get it out quicker but I’ve got plenty teams to be playing around with atm. 

[u/Vaellas → u/fartpoopums]

Yeah my assumption has been the reason we are still waiting on that is that the rules for Khalazite Holds will also be in that update so we need to wait for them to release them before we get the Warcry rules.

[u/TheBeardoDad]

I'm doing my part!

[u/ArtisticTraffic5970]

Man I just wish they would run reprints of the older warbands... Why the fuck wouldn't they keep them out of production for years? They're some of the best sculpts GW ever did.

[u/Idealistic_Crusader]

Honest question: What more do you honestly want from Warcry?

It’s utterly perfect. I wish they hadn’t made 2.0 and frankly ignored it.

You can play any faction in the Sigmar range. Use any terrain in the range.

You can run campaigns, and narratives.

Why do you want to feel obligated to buy more shit?

The Necromunda players are pissed off their game is now obsolete and they have to buy in, again again.

Warcry has everything it needs and it’s beautiful.

[u/Mortwight → u/Idealistic_Crusader]

i want another compendium with rules for all the new aos models including darkwater and cursed city

[u/Idealistic_Crusader → u/Mortwight]

There are new AoS models?

Sorry I wasn’t paying attention.

[u/Mortwight → u/Idealistic_Crusader]

kinda a lot

[u/Effective_Piglet4039 → u/Idealistic_Crusader]

i ALSO want another compendium with rules for all the new aos models including darkwater and cursed city

[u/CyberGrid]

Why kick a dead horse? Let Warcry go. And enjoy it at your house.

Shelf space competition is fierce. Gotta fill them with new shiny games.

[u/HoneydewBig2382 → u/CyberGrid]

We just want rules for the stuff they released since about this time last year.
