Not sure if this is where to post, but I saw that GW will be releasing some more Silver Tower stuff next week. Looks like Arcane Heroes (which is probably a 4-pack of minis like Mighty Heroes) and Hero Cards (which is probably cards for your heroes).

Word is Hero Cards are cards for the characters in the app.

I would probably love that website if it wasn't so riddled with ads.

You could always use their general sources:

War of Sigmar
Faeit 212

Both are generally way ahead of Bell of Lost Souls. They also do not break the same rumor up into five threads to drive page clicks.

Arcane Heroes is supposed to be a five-pack (Sorcerer Lord, Grey Seer, Knight-Heraldor, Skink Starpriest, and Sorceress).

Fuck. And there's me having just this minute ordered a Sorceress figure.

Charging $25 for some stat cards is reverting to typical GW assholery, though. Just put them in the box with the fucking figures.

Gw got a pass from me not including cards in mighty heroes.

They will not get the same from me if they pull that shit with arcane heroes, however.

Gw need to get back into our good graces. Nickel and diming us by "forgetting" to include them then selling it to us later is a bitch bastard move. Call it what it is.

Edit, that said, the rumored contents sound great. The skink, gray seer, and the sorceror lord are especially nice models.

Yeah, that is some grade A "we don't really understand the market or our consumers" bullshit right there. Someone there doesn't get that you package and sell board games differently. There is no good reason to NOT include the cards with the figures.

I still don't have Mighty Heroes, I was thinking about getting them and then the GWpocalypse hit. I'll probably get both sets but Burning of Prospero and Blood Bowl are ahead of it.

A Skink, yay. One day I'm going to do a Lizardman Mordheim warband.

It seems very late in the game to complain about GW business practices. They are who they are, and pretending otherwise is silly.

I love Lizardmen in WHFB. They let you get out the bright colors, and their lore is completely different than you think it's going to be (they're part of the Good Guys).

Ok, let's stop talking about it before I order this:



Lizards riding dinosaurs. What a glorious time to be alive.

My estimation is that the biggest reason why cards will not be included is that it would require them to ditch their multi-language packaging and create a language dependence which would require a redesign of their worldwide distribution model. Second to that is that their customer base largely do not play their board games so cards included in the package would be a waste, which would also rule out including multiple copies of the card in various languages.

Third, I will spin this as a positive. Now, for less cost than many of their heroes, you can purchase a few dozen heroes, not have to mess with an app and proxie as you desire. The Knight Questor can now by a Knight Azyros, Knight Heraldor, Knight Venator or Knight Vexillor. Or a Lord Castellant, Lord Celestiant or a Lord Relictor. They're all Sigmarines and so what if one doesn't have a horn or his sword in his right hand. Or unwieldy angel wings.

I would rather have it that way, otherwise there would be complaining that the only way to get a physical card is by buying a $50 miniature.

Wrong, Lao. It is CORPORATE GREED. They are milking it while personally raping the wallets of every customer. GW are evil incarnate, they install kittens in all of their office toilets so the senior leaders can piss and shit on them. They FORCE you to buy this stuff and they don't care about the FANS, man.

Anyway...yeah, you are absolutely correct about the cards on every point...and frankly, the figures can double for other characters without making a big deal out of it.

Just imagine if they released a 40k codex for Eldar Exodites ... Space Elves riding dinosaurs!

I see round bases, so assume these are official minis from the AoS era, is this correct? If so, AoS lizards don't look much different than WFB lizards. I also liked the look and background of WFB Lizardmen, but I guess I thought everything would get a new look in AoS.
