Anyone have an expected release date yet?

Posted at 2014-10-19 22:51:18+00:00

I dont think anyone has an actual date, but the general plan is to release expansions once a month, with Howl being the October release. I would Expect it on the shelves at the end of this month.

I would expect it in November more likely. Probably right around Worlds weekend.

Follow up question:

When will all 4 packs be released? (I assume that none of the packs have been released yet, correct???) :mellow:

That is correct. The original plan (as i understood it) was to release a pack a month, with each being released roughly 3 months after being spoiled... So,

Howl the first month of Q4 (October)

Scourge the second month of Q4 (November)

Gift the third month of Q4 (December)

Curse the first month of Q1 (January)

This is the first FFG game that i am following closely, so i dont really know their production schedules as well as others... but i believe those dates are fairly accurate ballpark figures.

This is what I was fearing.

Thanks for the quick reply!

Yeah...I'm betting this is the case since they emphasized the point in the Tourney rules LOL.

I'd be surprised if we saw The Howl of Blackmane in October. As far as I can recall, the monthly packs for LCGs usually take well over a month after the initial release to start coming out. November seems like a strong possibility, but I honestly wouldn't be surprised if the pack didn't come out till December.

Please don't say this. I'll probably start crying due to my inability to feed my OCD.

It's been on the boat already for a while. I would expect to see advance copies at worlds.

Can't wait for Ragnar and his space puppies; I really don't like Sicarius and his ultrasmurfs.

Posted at 2014-10-23 13:05:57+00:00

I concur, I think i'm going to like his aggresive play style, can't wait!

Anyone has intel about that Inquisitor for the Astra? I think Astra are really s**** now and I'd really like to play them (especially with an inquisitor).

Posted at 2014-10-24 14:32:52+00:00

Only what you already know (that it will be an inquisitor). The spoilers have been consistently near the end of the month... Got a 1/3 chance that your curiosities will be satisfied in the next week/near future!

Next week?

NEXT week?

That is like,... like... an eternity for a card gamer!

I got 10 resource widgets that say it is Inquisitor Coteaz. He's one of the most popular named Inquisitors on the tabletop and their only other big choice would be Eisenhorn or Ravenor (who they'd probably want to save for when they get deeper in)

Posted at 2014-10-25 20:13:10+00:00

I'm betting Eisenhorn...Huge name recognition.

According to the upcoming page, it's been on the boat since 9/25. FFG product takes 6-8 weeks from the time it hits the water to the shelves at your LGS, so you can expect to see it sometime between the middle and end of next month.

What's odd is that on the actual product page (link below) it shows the status as green, with the little shipping box. That means it is shipping out and 7 - 10 days away. But...it's been that way for over 2 weeks now.

The green in that page does not mean shipping it means available in stores soon. Boat is probably close or already arrived.

Posted at 2014-11-14 04:30:03+00:00

I do find it a little odd that we're still waiting on the 1st pack even after the 5th one has been previewed!

Posted at 2014-11-14 06:51:22+00:00

Just being a meany whiny customer here, but I fear they are waiting for the 28th to release the whole pack in the Black Friday.

I really hope I'm wrong and they start selling the packs earlier. I know for sure that in Spain they already have all the 6 packs at the storage areas and are waiting for Edge/FFG to give the order so they can send them.

Update: In the spanish web (Edge Entertainment) The Howl of Blackmane is available for pre-order =P
