@Imabubble yay It's mostly due to how horrendous the GW paintjob for them and other women are. I've seen a good few feminine looking Sisters faces, it's just a matter of knowing how to paint a woman. GW is only capable of painting meathead men thus the box art Sisters, Lelith, female Wyches, etc look like men. Some definitely are bad sculpts though, particularly Repentia and the new Sisters unit.

Sometimes they sell "boxed sets" miniatures (think Shadowspear, basically 2 Start Collecting packed together, also some recent Necron/Death Guard are "recycled" moulds, Poxwalkers are literally starter set models, they even come with extra parts for Plague Marine, despite fact they also made "easy to build" 5 packs of those guys, completely different (and IMHO cooler) designs), sometimes we wait months for models on separate sprues (like Ghazgkull).

Uncle Atom is really going above and beyond to set the mood for the Cursed City video.

The reason for not having Warcry stats for these minis is that we already have those in Warcry. The vampires are vampire lords, the skeletons are skeletons, zombies are zombies, etc. Sure, some of the heroes are difficult or impossible to field but maybe they will add stuff later?

I could see this being really good for TTRPG's like D&D or Pathfinder

I'm just mad that Blackstone Fortress got discontinued for this! The minis themselves are great.

I strongly suspect the primary reason for a lot of newer models having very thin, delicate protrusions is to make it hard to recast them. That having been said whilst you do need to handle with care they certainly do look great, a lot of other popular miniature companies have archers with arrows that look like they're the diameter of a pool cue.

It does change how you have to store them. Ironically, GW's own foam cases are not a good place to store delicate models and are better suited to tough models like Astartes and Imperial Guard.

"That smile on your face when you show the box"... you "smug" hahaha ;) nice video mate.

Thanks for the review! I saw some size comparison pictures earlier this day, and I think that those miniatures are not really 32mm anymore, but seemed more like 35mm. Is it so? Do they get the same proteins as the Space Marines / Primaris?

Hey Atom! I wanna ask if it isn't to much of a issue, could you tell us what bases and the number of them, that are in this box? I'm thinking of getting clear acrylic ones and it would be nice if I could order them before the game arrives (because shipping to Czechia) Thanks a lot, love your vids!

The idea of the night and day tracker was used in Order of the Vampire Hunters by Dark Gate Games. That has been out 4 or 5 years now. There is a night and day dice in Village Attacks and some missions take place in the day and some take place by night, and conditions change accordingly. So it has already been in those board games. Excited to see it used here.

Thanks for the great preview! I assume that the delicate nature of the sculpts can't be any more so than the Nighthaunts, right?

Is it "Curse-Ed City" or "Curse'd City"?

I'm a big fan of the new style of slimmer, finer miniatures in this box. They look much more refined and authentic when compared to overly bulky characters and weapons like the stormcast with their overly thick swords.

can't wait to stick these all on squares and add a bunch of vampire counts models to my collection.

it looks like the skeletons replace the old naked skeleton warriors and zombies replace zombies if you look at the 4 player campaign. this makes sense considering GW have shown off alternate sculpts that would most likely be available separately. there was one change though that adding a rune marking to the card that has no abilities tide to it with the old LoN warband. by the looks this might be a LoN replacement warband/update

I was lucky enough to order one before it sold out. Looking forward to receiving it but it’s a real shame not everyone will be able to get one unless they rerun

Ugh I hope I can get my hands on a copy of this. I loved BSF.

I bet the envelope contains the rules for playing Ulfenkarn as a city of sigmar city, it would go well with all the models that are locked to its non existent keyword and would make narrative sense if the party has taken the city back (and the new sisters book added a city already so there is precedent)

Something that's a tad disappointing is that most of the Order models have a keyword that prevents them from getting the normal keyword from the subfaction you put them in. So for example, the Ogre can be used in a Cities of Sigmar army, but he can never get the Tempest's Eye or Hammerhall or whatever keyword to benefit from any synergies.

Cool video, unfortunately it came out at the wrong time, Drukhari stole my money. From what I recall the manager of my local store told me about blackstone fortress, the extra zip lock bags are most likely for the games "save" mechanic, so you can stop mid game, put everything you currently need in seperate bags, so its easy to restart whenever you want.

How much of this is going to be playable in AOS?

It would be really cool if they allowed you to add other Death AoS models as opponents for the game, as they did for WQ: Silver Tower and Shadows over Hammerhal.

$200 is really a fair value for this game. There are so many awesome minis in it. I’m personally disappointed that it’s not $150 like Blackstone Fortress because I’d absolutely buy it at that price to have in my collection. It’s a game I would really love to play, but it’s definitely a commitment, just to build the models, let alone paint them. Definitely interested to see more about it, though. Love me some vampire hunting

Love the Skeletons. Love 3 of the heroes. Not enough to get on board though. I'm happy about the new Scale. Kinda bored with the heroic stuff, which was mainly a necessity because of material and production process. Might buy the new Witchhunters just for the fun of it.
