The enemy of my enemy can also be my enemy. In The Rise & Fall of Anvalor, players must work together... sort of... to protect the city from the rampaging hordes. However, everyone wants the city for themselves, and at the end of the game, only one group can fully control the city. So, while you look to build your resources, you must also try and keep your opponents/allies from doing the same. WizKids has posted up a new preview of this board game coming out next month.
There's a lot going on for you today from Games Workshop. If you're a fan of Age of Sigmar, there's a new starter set out which gives you Skaven vs. the Flesh-eater Court (rats and vampires... you'd think they'd get along better...). There's a couple extra sets for that as well, including dice (#NoSuchThingAsTooManyDice). On the sci-fi side of things, there's several new releases for the Genestealer Cults for Warhammer 40k. No dice, though.
Fridaaaaaaaaaaay!
3-day weekend Fridaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!
Dice mail Fridaaaaaaaay! (expect more on that in the upcoming days)
Woo! *runs around until I see a platter with some bite-sized gaming stories on it, and comes over to chow down*
Today we have: Stormhost Heads Available to Order From Forge World and Sinister Fish Games Opens Pre-Orders for Villagers and the Removable Sticker Set for Gloomhaven: Forgotten Circles.
Last week, Games Workshop came out with a new codex for the gobbers of Age of Sigmar. Along with that, they had the first wave of minis. This week, they continue with that with even more gobbers, even more squigs, and they threw in some trolls for good measure. Have yourselves a look.
The stronghold at Anvalor has been hotly contested ever since its inception. Even while building was happening, various factions would vie for control of it. But when the structure is completed, which group will be granted control of the citadel? That's up to you to decide in Warhammer: Age of Sigmar: The Rise and Fall of Anvalor, a new board game coming from WizKids and Games Workshop.
Well don't go out tonight, for it's bound to take your life.
There's a bad moon on the rise.
And it'll be here in about a week. Games Workshop is taking orders for a new Battletome for Age of Sigmar. This one's for the Gloomspite Gitz. These grots are masters of herding squigs and are ready to make their way across the battlefield.
The forces of Chaos can be found all over Games Workshop's product lines. The demons and beasts of chaos have been fighting against humanity for millennia. And with the Realm of Chaos: Wrath and Rapture set, you not only get a bunch of Khorne and Slaanesh figures, but the rules to use them in both Warhammer 40k and Age of Sigmar.
There's a holiday feeling in the air over at Games Workshop. They've got a whole bunch of bundle deals for 40k as well as Age of Sigmar they're taking orders for. Along with that, they've got a new Blood Bowl team with a decidedly Halloween feel to them.
Games Workshop has a huge back catalog of figures. They can't really always have all of them in production at once. It's just too much. So, from time to time, they'll go back and whip up batches of some older figures. In this case, it's the Beasts of Chaos. So if you've been looking to get some of these, but haven't had the chance, they're available to order for this week only.
*goes flipping through websites, looking for posts*
*comes across the new Forge World pre-release*
*blink*
Umm... excuse me a minute.
*gets up, walks out of the room, and softly from the other room, "SQUEEE!"*
Sorry about the editorializing, but you all know I'm a sucker for a cool dragon mini, and we've got us here a really cool dragon mini.
Games Workshop is once again hitting two ends of the spectrum with their pre-orders for this week. On one hand, there's the Adeptus Titanicus with new Warhound Titans *giant robot alert goes off*. Then, on the other side, in Nightvault, they have some new releases, including Tzeentch and Grots. Giant robots. Little goblins. Hard to get much more extreme than that.
Games Workshop is filling up their pre-order page over on their website. They've got some new 40k, some new Kill Team, some new Warhammer Underworlds, and even more up for order. Arguably the biggest things include the new 40k 2-player starter set, Wake the Dead, and the new Kill Team crews which include Tau and Necrons.
It's officially Autumn (or Spring, for you in the Southern Hemisphere). So that means it's officially the season for spoopy. Games Workshop is certainly jumping in on that with their latest pre-releases. They're taking orders for Warhammer Underworlds: Nightvault, as well as extra sets and accessories (including several sets of dice).
There's a new Battletome coming out for Age of Sigmar. This one focuses on the various beast and beast-men forces of Chaos. If you've ever wanted an army of goat-headed, goat-legged warriors, now's your chance. There the tome, sets of dice, as well as army sets. Along with that, for 40k, you can get the Puppy King knight (actually, it's the Canis Rex, but hey, one's translated, the other isn't).
When it comes to Games Workshop, everyone wants to know what they're working on. What's the next focus for 40k and Age of Sigmar? What sort of secondary games are they fiddling with? When can we get more Orks? We get an answer to those questions in this preview.
Two ends of the spectrum on display from Games Workshop this week for their pre-releases. You can go and get yourself a new Necromunda Gang (the Cawdor) along accessories such as dice and the Gang War 4 book. There's also new Age of Sigmar releases with some new Stormcast Eternals as well as Nighthaunt figures. So, if you want sci-fi or fantasy, skirmish or army-scale game, you can pick between the two (or, you know, get them all).
