Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Warcry Review

The ranged thing actually a plus for me. I haven't found a good melee-centric game where the ranged attack isn't neutered to keep the game working and balanced. With skirmish game, it's all movement and positioning. I found ranged attack often negates these, or worse, make the game revolves around the ranged attack.

Just a quick update that I my Warcry Starter Set arrived yesterday. It was 2-3 week wait for me because the item was not yet released when I placed the order. I see the exchange rate is still 1:1.22 but they don’t have it stock at the moment.

On a related note, last week I finally decided to pull out the cheap Master Airbrush kit I bought on Amazon 4 years ago and had been sitting unused because the prospect of airbrushing intimidated me. Well now I’ve gotten my feet wet and I’m kicking myself for not pulling it out a month ago when I was painting my Fireball Island Set. Airbrushing is messy and requires preparation, but being able to cover large areas, and being able to cover my black primer with red paint in a single pass rather than 4 coats is fantastic. It is something that needs to be planned due to the setup and cleanup, but for monsters / vehicles, and base coating regiments it is THE way to go. Also blends now require no talent and come out perfect, but I don’t see myself doing airbrush blends often on regular troops except for capes or large shields. Basically one just needs to plan to make the least color changes possible, so base coating large minis or regiments is the name of the game IMO. Reason I’m bringing the airbrush up this up is because there is a ton of plastic in that Warcry Starter Box! I had seen the unboxing but I was not prepared for the real thing.

Fantasy Flight and Games Workshop parted ways a couple of years ago, but the Fantasy Flight Event Center still carries a surprising amount of Games Workshop products. Roughly 25% of the event center retail shelf space is stocked with GW product, including several Warcry products.
