Warcry: a new Age of Sigmar game

[Love Pulse]

Games Workshop have previewed a new game for Warhammer: Age of Sigmar called Warcry. It is a skirmish based, character and warband campaign development game. Building up the experience of your Chaos warband as it fights in the Allpoints. It comes with beautiful new terrain and I suspect we will see further expansions allowing you to play as other factions! This is Kill Team/Necromunda for Age of Sigmar.

Not only Chaos, but there will be 9 non-Chaos factions available to play with rules of their own at the launch date!

 

Here I’ll be doing my usual thing and compiling all the information about the new release as and when the information drops. Just what you need to know, without click-bait, obnoxious ads or pop-ups.

Before you get there,  check out Dark Fantastic Mills for great 3D printed terrain perfect for wargaming.  The DFM terrain is super versatile and light so worldwide shipping is inexpensive.  Use the “aos shorts” discount code for a further 10% off the already decent prices.

Warcry
Warcry seems to be a modern take on a small warband scale version of Age of Sigmar. It’s promised to be a new game drawing on the “some of the best bits of Warhammer Underworlds and Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team“. My guess is a warband type game in the wastes and badlands of the Mortal Realms with some form of card element or simplified combat mechanic using dice (like with in Necromunda).

Warcry GAMA Reveal
So at GAMA we got a brand new trailer and lots of information:

more than just a skirmish version of Warhammer Age of Sigmar – it’s hyper-kinetic, it’s tactical and it’s very, very bloody, featuring bold new game mechanics.
perfect for narrative players looking to forge character-driven campaigns where warbands grow and develop through their own journey.
gamers looking for a close-matched, fast and exciting experience will find a game that fits both their coffee table and coffee break.
you’ll follow the myriad tribes of Chaos – reavers and despoilers from every corner of the realms – as they make their dark pilgrimage to the Varanspire. 
Warcry explores a never-before-seen side of life (and death!) in the Age of Sigmar. 
Every model for this game is brand new, reflecting on the dizzying diversity of Chaos on a scale never attempted before and rooted in rich lore that realises the servants of the Dark Gods as deep and varied.
