I was minimally interested in the models but wiz kids quality usually doesn't cut it. Core rule set might be nice to get but I have enough other probably higher quality miniatures to use for it if wizids doesn't get it together

I mean is there a more vanilla villain in D&D that Hobgoblins.

Kobolds. I am pretty sure low level adventurers across the globe have comitted genocide a hundred times over.

In my experience, Kobolds, skeletons, and vermin swarm.

Not sure I like all the ground units etc, but as a free for all rider and dragon game it would be a blast.

The ground units are interesting but I don't think the X-wing system will be good for ground units. I would have made different movement dials for ground units.

Where's the Unlike This button?

Your kidding yourself mate.

Just think of that poor snowball that went down under....that's how small the chance is that wizkids will ever pull it together

I am quite keen to pick up a core set and give it a go

STAW is quite fun if you just house rule no mixed fleets.....of course the paint quality is very bad but it's nothing a quick ink wash can't take care of.

It's really not that hard or time consuming

The sculpts look ok from what I have seen in pictures. The paint looks mediocre, but I can easily fix that.

All I can say is "It's Dragons !!!!!"

Poor, Poor Deekin...

All i want wizkidz to do is churn out more dice masters stuff: Marvel, DC , D&D... keep 'em comming!

Kobolds have some flavor if only because they are such low level creatures. Goblins are the same. But Hobgoblins are tuff enough to show up in a mid level game, and they are just blah. Just something to fight, no real personality. Evil soldiers, oh and their not human so no guilt about slaughtering them whole sale.

Are there factions in D&D Attack Wing?

Or is it just like ... I mix a Black Dragon and Elves and some Hobgoblins ... ?

It appears the factions may be done on the traditional "Alignment" lines. Not sure until mine gets here.

This would make sense.

Is there an overview of all available models and cards somewhere?

The WizKid product page sucks pretty badly...

You bought D&D Attack Wing? I'm sorry for your loss of perfectly good money on a WizKids fiasco to be.

Maybe its a decent game - after all you move dragons like X-Wings in space.

And you move ground troops like X-Wings in space ......

Have I said that its a decent game possibly?

Ewoks are supposedly the 4th faction.

There is a special hell if that is the case. The one reserved for child molesters and those who talk during the theater

Very good Sir

Actually ground troops move a little differently. All units have a pivot move. Basically you don't move at all but can pivot 90 or 180 degrees. It is basically the only reason I can think for a dragon to land. It adds an interesting movement option for the larger less maneuverable Dragons. They can turn much better on the ground, but the are also vulnerable to ground units melee attacks.

I'm not buying into this game big time, but aerial dragon combat with melee/breath/spells is worth $35 to try out.

If it sucks, then ho-hum, if not, I'll have some fun in a fantasy setting without having to pay GW my soul.

As I said, it may even have a decent campaign mode where I can get a few folks in a more RPG style.

We'll see.

Sounds interesting. this adds a new dimension ... or a half one.

There are some potentially interesting tactical components. It's never going to be as good as X-wing, nor as good as I hope Armada will be.

But.....

IT's DRAGONS

The game is not strictly wiz kids, it also has asmodee stamped on the back of the box. I think that is good news for its future.

It appears the factions may be done on the traditional "Alignment" lines. Not sure until mine gets here.

Here's hoping that the instructions includes a table of some sort that shows which alignments can't be used together (e.g., Chaotic Good can't be used with Chaotic Evil, etc.)

Oh, and the movement templates are the correct x-wing length, and they look really cool.

I can't helf it ... they could have used a bit more efford on the artworks of the cards and markers and stuff.

This all looks so crappy....

Besides that, the dragons look better then the Star Trek ships.

This actually looks like it will be VERY different in play from STAW or X-Wing. You have separate dials for aerial and ground movement. Armor does not automatically get reduced when hit, so if you have 2 armor it lasts round to round.

Spells and breath weapons take time to recharge and have straight line aiming and hit >1 opponent if they are under the line.

All in all and I hate to say this, it's looking pretty cool.
